I want to like it, I do, because I really like the idea. But I hate that the only integrated app is Google fit, which is really bad and unreliable. Will it count half of the steps or double that my build in health app? We don't know. It's also stated that garmin is supported, which is not true, because I need now to sync data from garmin connect to Google fit via yet another third party app. And I still don't get the right number of steps. I also dislike that I can't create a separate account.

Sorry for the trouble. Google Fit seems to be having some sync issues in general. So we're integrating Android Health Connect to solve this, and plan to release an update soon.

Cute app, but the notifications are insane. I've turned notifications off, but I'll get at least 2 at the same time that are not very helpful. I just got SEVEN notifications at one time, all along the lines of "steps are helpful, steps are healthy, steps are creative". Might delete the app soon if i can't actually turn off notifications.

This app offers very little new compared to built in trackers. I originally downloaded so I could join my company's stair step contest. However, joining a work group requires an account, and an account required a Facebook or Google connection. To me, this is a blatant reach for personalized data, and an increased risk for data breaches. I would rather sign up via email, but that is not an option. So I'm uninstalling. This app just isn't wish the data and space it takes up for what it is.
