About this app

Employee Wellness Hub (EWH) is a health app that allows organizations to manage healthy habits for their employees. The app is first of its kind to manage health challenges, track health vitals, and monitor nutritional intake of their employees. EWH’s nutrition database includes information from 8,000+ food items from the USDA as well as 5,000+ food items from fast food restaurants. EWH App uses advanced motion chip in the smart phone (when available) to track precise movements (steps) and also integrates with Fitbit. The app can be customized for employers in terms of its look and feel and it can be integrated with additional data sources related to fitness and nutrition.

Ratings and reviews

When it works, it's great. However it doesn't sync to fitness tracking devices. Sometimes the app refuses to open after a "minor bug fix" and messages that "updates available to download" but no apparent avenue to allow said updates. Then, several days later it will work again.

The idea behind this app is great! Being about to compete with coworkers and see my progress is fun. The downside is that it only links with a few apps and not my smart watch is key though. I have trackers so I don't need to keep track of steps and exercise manually.

App UI is confusing; missing basic reporting functionality; asks for write access to other services, like Google Fit, without any obvious need; requires manual syncing that doesn't make sense; doesn't integrate with Google Health; "challenges" don't show any information; no push notifications; navigation makes no sense
