MyEvive

I am not a good runner by runner standards but by average people I am decent runner. I have used both Garmin app/watch, MapmyRun/Ride and Strada and this app for Evive is not great. I am never sure when distance is going to update because it is not in real time; there is no map; and I have lost at least three separate runs. I am only using this because of incentive. I wish you could have option to link runs from other apps. Also not a fan of being told when to run or when to walk. I wish there could be a way to bypass. I understand it is a heath portal and supposed to do more than jogging app but it can be frustrating. I lost run today after it said I was in cool down mode. I spent 30 plus minutes jogging and now I have to start over.

I’ve written to app support, no answer back yet. The jogging section is very broken. You can only get your yearly incentive by using it, but halfway through it resets and logs you off and you have to start over. The section does not like when you close out of the app, which most people do when they are jogging...turn off their screen and put it in their pocket and run. It does not provide the ability to resume where you left off. The journey section also won’t load from the app most of the time, but you can get this on a normal computer logging onto the website unlike the jogging section. All in all, the reason I am using the app, an incentive, is not allowing me to get that incentive due to app mis functions. The look and feel is great, but two starts for functionality.

Don’t appreciate the third party access to my information and the “we get to do what we want with any information you provide without limitations” language in your user agreement. Registered because of the $100 incentive to do so, and I couldn’t even get the thing to register me. When I tapped information on the App Store, I found people complaining that their “runs aren’t being stored” or were lost, and that such runs are to earn credits. —-Super creepy. —-So this is how you manipulate behavior for monetary incentive. What happens when you share my information with some company or entity which wants to offer me $100 to register at their gym? Eat their food? Buy their product? Get my kids involved?

I'm trying to fulfill my jogging requirement before the 10/31 deadline to receive a $250 reward. However out of my first 5 runs, 2 were "erased" to my disbelieve! The data just no longer exist. And today I even ran under rain, all for nothing! Once I completed a run and the app tells me congrats on the run, how can the data not be saved in a cache or db somewhere and it just disappeared later on as I had never ran??? Terrible app design in that aspect. Last time I thought it was a fluke, but it just happened again today under a run under rain! Who's to blame if I can't get my $250 healthy credit in time because this app kept losing my running record?

Renewing this review so maybe it’ll get some attention - the “jogging” tracker still does not work in the background when my phone is in sleep mode. Come on people, the Couch-2-5k apps I used ten years ago could handle this without issue, surely this can be fixed? ———— First, it’s a TERRIBLE user experience to have to go to to a mobile browser for most of the “HealthQuests.” The limited expiration on this is also incredibly asinine, but that’s not a technical issue. I also am not getting any reminders on my health quests despite confirming my phone number for texts. I also have issues with the jogging app working in the background - last time I tried it, the timer didn’t count down if the app wasn’t open. It kills my battery to keep it open and I don’t understand why it can’t work in the background. Also, a “nice to have” would be the ability to integrate with a smart watch or other app so it can record treadmill runs.
