A Step Ahead Challenge

I thought I was joining a walking challenge. To see how many steps me and my team could get together and racing other teams to the end and to avoid zombie things… That wasn’t it. Week one- we started out walking. Some of my teammates weren’t walking - we needed to remind them that they joined the challenge and start walking. We came across our first obstacle of K.A.R.E.bots. This stopped us from uploading steps. We needed PowerPoints to beat the bots. Well week one we don’t need a lot of power points so we could easily beat the bots and move forward. Well each week, we needed more steps- no problem, it’s a walking challenge, makes sense. Well each week the value of power points needed to kill the K.A.R.E.bots also increases. I don’t think any of us figured out how to get more PowerPoints, but we definitely got annoyed and frustrated because we couldn’t add the steps we earned because we were stuck at the K.A.R.E.bots and couldn’t move until they were defeated. So we would end up stuck in the middle of the course getting best up. You also use the PowerPoints to heal yourself if you get best up, so in order to survive you heal yourself before killing bots and your just stuck. So you have 1000s of atps that don’t get tracked as your just stuck. And if your teammates don’t do their part there’s nothing you can do. Due to the stupid cycle of K.A.R.E.bots and needing to defeat them before being able to log steps AND the Increae in the instances of K.A.R.E.bots in the path for each week do the challenge, had my group not even finish the course after the first week. Instead of tracking my steps, I ended up just trying g to try to earn PowerPoints to survive the obstacles to say I finished the challenge. It took ALL OF THE FUN out of the challenge. Instead of encouraging each other to keep walking track those step, it turned into… to hate this app, stupid bots, I’m giving up. Half of our team dropped out because the fun of the challenge was lost to the K.A.R.E.bots. I’m very disappointed. I never thought my team would win, but some of use spent the first two weeks walking together, which was the coal of joining. By the third week we were just frustrated to be bothered. We are stuck at bots and would be able to track the steps anyhow. I do NOT recommend this app unless you are someone who already walks/runs a lot already and you want to show off how much you exercise and be rewarded for your hard work.

I used this app for a school wide contest. It was not fun, and the teams weren't even with the amount of people making it impossible to win. Also, there were many times it didn't count my steps. The way it is laid out is also very confusing.

This game is very fun and keeps you engaged. I had a blast playing it with my coworkers.

Difficult to fight bots and be held back and unable to sync steps. Finishing five weeks only to be held back in the 6th week was also disappointing. We worked very hard and we didn’t finish.

We enjoy the competition with our group, but our steps count on our fitbits, etc, NEVER matched what the game would pick up. The help feature is not helpful at all.

I enjoyed this app challenge as it helped me get back active. I’m feeling better fit and even lost a frw pounds.

So unbelievably slow to open this app. You’ll get a notification that the horde is upon you, and by the time you open the app someone has already defeated the horde. Takes an entire minute to simply open it. Graphics are cool but it’s hardly engaging. The only interactive part of it is defeating the hordes, and unless you’re the person on the team with the app already open and loaded you’ll never get to interact with the game apart from uploading your steps.

Please fix app steps some times to add up and also its takes way to much to get just one power punch to fight robots could b a good fun app but steps don’t always generate and take way too much to get one power punch and cost tooo many power punches to fight just one robot

Each time I open the app I have to read through all the little instructional statements. Is there a way to stop that? It say “loading complete” but still slowly displays the information.

This is the kind of app that you have to reinstall several times, read the help, go through hoops, and it still doesn't work.
