The first time I’ve ever hit my work out goals!!
I have an Apple Watch and was already checking on steps and trying to close things. To get paid, even if it’s a little, is so worth it to me because I’m ALREADY doing this. This app makes moving so easy!! I’ve had no real problems and have cashed out about $50 worth of gifts cards so far..... what’s not to like about that?? I also appreciate the apps tips and the fact that they go beyond “hey go run” but also include mental health and stress management, all necessary for healthy living. The only thing I’d change is including a tab that houses all the tips and tricks I’ve already “learned” for me to review if I want to or maybe challenge myself to do them again if it isn’t a habit yet.

Chiming in with motivation
I agree with “motivation” that there should be a way to come back from a missed Monday. And.... I’m just now in the month that increases the goal by one day each week. After 2 or 3 weeks with a goal of 3 days a week, increasing the goal by one day every week seemed fast. I went over that goal each time - however overachieving felt safe... this fast shift toward no margin of error feels not safe. Also... in that first month I was challenging myself to be okay with less than perfection. If I naturally met the goal for all days, no problem. I didn’t want the App to become the driver of my movement, though, resulting in obsessive thoughts. For example.... now that I have no margin for error, I’ll sacrifice sleep to get those last few steps in. And that seems counterproductive to the goal. So I agree with “motivation”’s suggestions of an average or an alternate way to meet those points, just to provide a margin of error so meeting the daily goal doesn’t become a counterproductive obsessive thought.

Motivation?
Overall I am happy with the app and am happy to be able to “work off” the payment for an Apple Watch. But like others I have a problem with when you get to 7 days required for the weekly bonus. This isn’t like training for a marathon, the requirements aren’t so strenuous that you need a day of rest. The goals seem pretty much like push yourself a little more than usual and you’ll meet your goal. So I’m not going to complain about the 7 days as a whole. But, as a source of motivation, I think it’s bad. If you miss one day, that’s it. Your week is shot, and you will pretty much have to pay something for the watch that month. There is no margin of error and it is not possible to make up the 2000 points for that week by any other means other than paying the $2 for that missed weekly bonus. And again, the $2 isn’t the end of the world either. I just don’t think that is effective in motivation. To me, it feels more punitive if you don’t hit your goal. If it was maybe changed to a weekly average or something, you would have the motivation to work more to make up that difference. As of now, if you have a work trip or something and are unable to do much on Monday, then there is no motivation to do anything for the rest of that week, because you cannot make it up.
