Strive Steps Activity Tracker 4+

Great app to track weight loss competitions

I’ve been using this app for several weeks now and it’s been great so far. Being able to enter into competitions and competing against other like minded who want to lose weight and get healthy is great. It motivates me to keep working hard because other people are also working towards the same goals. Download this app now you will thank me later 😁

Cool but weird restrictions

So I really enjoy the idea behind this app. My friends and I have a competition going and it’s really fun. However there are some weird quirks with this app that I don’t get. To enter your weight, you also have to enter your body fat percentage. You cannot just enter the weight. I wouldn’t guess that most people just know their percentage. And if you don’t have a smart scale or calipers at home, nothing in the app explains to you how to calculate an estimate like using the navy method. I wish it would have told me. I just wasn’t putting in weight because I didn’t know my BF%. It screwed up my competition because I wasn’t recording any data or progress. Once I finally found the formula for the navy estimate and tried to put it in, it logged that I had gained a bunch of weight because the starting weight wasn’t accurate. I could not find anywhere to go back and edit the starting weight. I assume editing isn’t easy for competition integrity, but I feel like it’s a necessary feature to have. I put in the wrong numbers initially so I was firmly in last place in every competition. I had been manually entering my weight into my apple health data but that does not sync to the app apparently. When I went to the help button to check the FAQ or send in a message, none of the buttons under help actually work. I clicked them all multiple times and was never pushed to the site or got any further response from the app.

Waste of time

Downloaded and was going to try it out, however after giving permission to my gallery I have decided to delete. The app wasted my time, i got a message to pay for premium before adding the profile picture, why the Illusion? If the app would have let me try it out before rudely wasting my time I might have enjoyed it enough to cancel my strava membership. On to the next app…I honestly wanted to try it out but felt insulted with the tactic
