Playfitt - Daily Fitness Games 4+

If you’re whining about the missing reps, you’re missing the point.

Love this app. Total motivation for me to be more active. Reps count for squat and push up might be slightly inaccurate give or take. It’s not always missing one or two reps, sometimes it even counts one or two reps that I didn’t even do. So it compensates itself basically. But nothing is perfect unless you have another person standing there counting your reps.
To all the people who are complaining about missing one or two reps. Yes it is nice to be recognized and rewarded for your work but the point of this app is to encourage people to be more active.
Your body appreciate every extra rep that you do.
In my experience, whenever I was miscounted for my reps, I was more than happy to put it some more to meet the challenge. Knowing my body will thank me later.
Besides, as mentioned before, the app also counts extra reps that you don’t do sometimes. I don’t see nobody complaining about that. Y’all so quick to whine abour something so trivial unless it’s beneficial to you.

Good concept but rep counts are way off

EDIT: I have now used the app for two months and unfortunately I’ve been getting increasingly frustrated with the way it counts squats and especially push-ups. The app frequently will count up to 80 or so and then tell me there’s an error, making me start all over again. I frequently have to restart the count multiple times for the app to actually work. The frustration this causes is not worth it and I will be deleting it.

I’ve been using the app for over a week. I appreciate the app in that it makes me more motivated to move in order to meet its daily or weekly goals. My problem is that even when I’m putting my phone in my waistband or in the back pocket area of my form fitting yoga pants sometimes it doesn’t count my reps. I don’t mind the occasional one or two, but when you’ve done 40 push-ups or squats and it doesn’t count a single one or only counts half, it is frustrating because I don’t really have the energy to do more. This has happened numerous times, and I’ve yet to understand why the app is able to count my movements sometimes but misses them altogether other times. I will most likely keep this app for a little longer to see if I can figure out this glitch, but if the rep counts continue to be off by that much, I will probably find something else.

Unhappy with the update

Used to love the app - motivating and felt like you were going somewhere. There were times where the counting (especially for push-ups and squats) was off, but manageable. At least it still gave you those squats and push-ups. Now, it will remove those from your overall count to limit the points you receive. Additionally, now they are pushing the paid membership more and more. It says I have points to redeem, but can only do so with the premium membership. Seems like a money grab to me… I’ll probably wait it out until the next update to see if it gets any better, but am unhappy the way it is going right now. One final thing that I noticed with also using a Fitbit- the steps and stairs were completely different in the count. Just like before, not the biggest issue, but something I noticed!
Update - continued to use the platform - newest update I cannot seem to find where the “help” option is but lost everything that was invested already - each update is hard then seems to work out in the long run. We will see what they do to fix this discrepancy!

Developer Response ,

Hi there! I'm sorry you're not enjoying the app as much! The premium push notification shouldn't be happening that often. If you write to me in the app, then you'll have to make sure that PlayFitt is synced with Apple Health. For this step, first in your iPhone Settings: go to "Privacy" then scroll down and click on "Movement and Fitness" and make sure PlayFitt is on. Then, go into the App: go to the bottom right hand corner and click on your profile. Then click on the top far left corner on your settings and slide the widget. if you have any other questions or concerns, message me through the app and my team and I will be there to help you! :)
