Contact Gentler Streak Health Tracker Support

I don’t know what the intent behind this app is, because all it seems to say is that I’m overreaching. I took two short (10 min ea) bike rides and it said I was overreaching for a day before telling me to exercise. Then I took one long bike ride (2 hrs) a week ago and today it still says I’m overreaching and need to rest. I haven’t even taken walks since then! If you want to build your fitness level go find an app that will actually push you. If you want to feel good about being lazy download this app.

Edit: I just got a message that I need to log a workout (even though I just did one yesterday) and it STILL says I’m overreaching.

Edit 2: I didn’t open it for a couple weeks and the widget said for all of that time that I was either well rested or overreaching. It never said I was on the right track and it took days to go from overreaching to the well rested, never stopping in the middle. Then today I got a mea culpa message when I opened the app saying their onboarding was messed up and they were going to fix that. Near as I can tell nothing has been fixed. Go find another app, this one is not good.

I’ll fully admit I ain’t perfect and this could be user error and me failing to understand the app, but I find it completely useless and I’m very disappointed that I spent 30-odd doll hairs on something that is basically a daily reminder. I love the idea of having rest days in your health maintenance routine, but this ain’t it.

Go Gentler doesn’t measure my activity the same way my watch does and it’s frustrating. It only counts what i log as a workout or do on Meta. For example, on a trip to NYC I walked over 25K steps four days in a row, like LONG outdoor walls that I don’t count as a workout, but IT’S STILL EXERCISE. Then here comes this app like, “You seem rested! Time to step up your game.” …Really? 25K steps and yall acting like I didn’t exercise? Go sit down somewhere.

Also, I hate the notifications that tell me I burned a banana and an orange or some jawn. It feels super condescending. Just gimme a number.

I read a lot about this app and was excited to try it, but during every day of the free trial it told me I was overworked and to take a rest day. Every day! The fact that I’ve had only rest days for a year kind of scares me — what body metrics is this thing reading and what is wrong with me?? Well, you can’t find out on the app or the website what inputs it’s using to tell you to rest. If it’s just a calibration problem that would be good transparency to put somewhere in the insights. Otherwise this company is simply withholding information rather than stopping me from being overwhelmed by it.
