This seems to be a very poorly-developed app with a lot of bugs.
- It is missing data from my Apple Watch/Apple Health app about 50% of the time. I understand that the app will not refresh when background processes are turned off. But supposedly (according to the Krowdfit website anyway) it will look back 48 hours for missing/updated data, and that clearly isn’t happening. If the app can’t track my steps and exercise minutes correctly, it’s completely pointless.
- Probably 80% of the time I get a blank screen and have to force close/restart the app. Not a huge deal, but further proof that the app has some basic flaws.
- A minor issue, but I don’t understand why Krowdfit requires a third party app to track sleep data from Apple Watch. I’m not a developer, but it seems like it should be reasonably simple to pull sleep data from the Apple Health app just like it does with steps and exercise minutes.
I downloaded this app because it’s tied to my employer’s health rewards program. The many bugs and glitches are quickly making that a moot point, because I won’t be “meeting” the criteria for any rewards with such inaccurate data.
Given that many employers are PAYING for the use of this fitness rewards platform, we should, at the very minimum, have a functional app without constant glitches.
