Ratings and reviews

It doesn't sync properly with my device and is often anywhere from 1000-2000 steps off of what my synced device states. Also, you have to log in regularly for it to even sync, it doesn't do it automatically. It also is very slow to scroll through the days often taking several minutes to respond and display the statistics even for days that had previously been synced.

I'm updating my rating from a 1 to a 3. I'm happy that I did get help from Walkingspree to load thousands of steps that were missing. HOWEVER, they told me it was because Walkingspree only syncs "verified" steps from Google Fit. Any workouts that are added or edited in Fit have to be manually entered in Walkingspree. To me, this is a major glitch that needs to be fixed (or they should at least warn users about it). I'm now also syncing with Samsung Health so we can monitor all three apps.

Overall it's a good app, but there's room for improvement. For starters, it sometimes takes an incredibly long amount of time to sync with Google Fit, and it sometimes prompts me to sign in, which can be annoying. But the biggest annoyance to me is the lack of a confirmation message when sending friend requests. Twice I accidentally tapped someone's avatar and the request was sent immediately without an opportunity for me to confirm that that was my intention. That needs to be fixed.
