Ratings and reviews

I've been trying to work things out with the helpline and they haven't really been much help...it's really lagging when it comes to adding up points which our main reason on using this product..this should be a much more straightforward app..at the moment there's four ppl using it in our challenge and we all are complaining

the app might be free to download, but I can't create a challenge and have my friends join without them paying a fee. I'm not looking to raise money, I just want an app my friends and I can use to log our challenges without paying a fee.

why doesn't challenge hound provide details on the actual fixes or enhancements of its version releases?

Minor fixes, major good vibes. We tuned up account linking behind the scenes — everything should connect a little easier now.
