1. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   ANCOP Virtual Mission. This app is not user friendly at all that a lot of our participants are not able to install and use the alp. It is very frustrating and in a lot of times, we cannot even enter the miles we walked. I think like 90% of the 107 teams will not reach their destination in 40 days. Unless they allow us to extend for another month, it will be very frustrating and just a waste of time and money.

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Bad. Doesn’t work with my LastPass password keeper. Someone isn’t on the ball at MVM.

3. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

   Great concept, very poor design and usage. I bought the Appalachian Trail challenge a year ago figuring it would be a wonderful fun way to get off the pandemic couch and feel motivated to move each day. Frustrating that the app rarely syncs with my Apple Watch unless the timing when I hit the Progress option is perfect. So I will almost never see real-time updates of my progress day to day (let alone anytime throughout the day when I want to check). The Google map is very slow and only at major road crossings do I get a Streetview option, so there’s very little feel for what that part of the AT looks like where I am at. I really hoped this experience would be great, but this will be my last (about 75% done).

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Awful app design. The main idea of the app is awesome. But the app is very old! It looks awful on my iPhone 11. It looks like it has been release since iPhone 5 was released, and never update. It has a lot of bugs and is not connecting whit Strava like the webpage said it does. Needs urgent updates!

   Review. Hard to use Poorly thought out

6. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Cannot Connect. It is not user friendly whatsoever and beyond frustrating. After several attempts to rectify with their support I finally asked for a refund. They informed me that “my Conqueror Challenge Code was already used” and did nothing else to help correct the situation. I will probably never get the refund either. Way to back your product. Extremely disappointed.

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   FitBit never connected. I could never get my FitBit to connect. Out of the entire month of January, it performed the synch only once on day 17. You can manually enter the step count, but apparently the calculation/conversion is not “fair” to the others on your team. Not certain if that’s an incompatibility with the FitBit, Mission calculations or critical teammates. Too much fussing with the system. Too little joy of completing a mission. I will not sign up again. Other easier to use and free opinions out there.

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Confusing to connect.. Seems like such a cool thing but it will not connect to my Fitbit.

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not consistent or accurate. Tried using this over several weeks. It does not sync accurately or consistently with my Apple Watch/iPhone. Not worth the hassle in the end. Too bad as it’s a great idea.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Terribly glitchy. I love the challenge I’ve signed up for and I want to sign up for more, but this companion is practically unusable. It will sporadically stop working, not logging information from my Apple Watch, and get so bad to where I have to uninstall/reinstall. I’ve done this three time and now the app doesn’t want to respond to anything. I really wish they would give this a proper overhaul and have a fully functioning app.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Terrible App. Honestly one of the worst apps I’ve ever used. I probably won’t do another race because the app is so bad.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Poorly implemented app. I love the idea of this app, but the reality is horrible. It’s obvious that the app hasn’t been updated for quite some time, since it won’t fill the screen on a newer iPhone. It doesn’t properly log miles from the health app or Apple Watch, the mapping is horrible, and all in all it’s crap.

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Needs Work. This app has the potential to be fantastic but it leaves a lot to be desired. It’s difficult to navigate, the syncing isn’t consistent so I end up entering manually and the worst thing is not being able to see my individual progress...i.e. I want to see my miles each day and the total towards the challenge.

14. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

    Just gets worse. I previously gave this 2 stars. I might give it zero if I could. Sometimes the connected app mileage updates, sometimes it doesn’t (after a full day). Finally disconnected snd just enter my miles manually. It’s slow, hard to navigate, not intuitive, nearly useless. Graph paper & pen might be better. This is a terrible app.

15. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    App and website do not work, crash almost every time. I signed up my son to do the Incan trail a few days ago and the experience has been terrible. The app either won’t login or crashes every time you attempt to pan or zoom on the map.

16. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Great concept, terrible functionality. I was so excited to start the Camino challenge earlier this year, but it wouldn’t sync with my Fitbit data, I requested snd received a refund and an assurance that they were aware of the problem and working out the bugs. I tried again 2 days ago, paid for the premium app so my Fitbit steps would sync, and had exactly the same problem. I wish they had been honest about it simply not working with Fitbit.

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Does not connect. Ughhhhhh. I bought this challenge because it looked great, Also because I could work my Fitbit with it. And now the real news, I spent hours trying to get my Fitbit to sync with the race. It never happened. I must’ve gone in three or four days and spent four hours each time trying to get it to coordinate. This included all of the troubleshooting tips they had. Now I’m just entering things in manually, and I’m going to get my medaI. I will never use this app again.

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Glitchy and not user friendly. I want to love this app as much as I love the concept but it just falls so short and so flat. Syncing does not work correctly, double distances post, and trying to navigate between different missions is next to impossible. Customer support/tech support only responds with “check out this link to faqs on our website” even though I say in my message to them that I have tried all of the troubleshoot they have listed and then they give no further help. Please invest in developing and fixing this app!

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    The idea is fun but the APP is not good at all. Laggy app, confusing layout, and in the past few weeks it started updating less frequently till now it even skips entire days!! (Update: now skips several days in a row... hasn’t updated in 6 days again. Shame.) Mind you, this is a paid contest. In other words I payed for the app and it’s (no joke and no exaggeration) the worst app I have ever encountered. Since I payed for the mission I cannot delete the app. Otherwise I would have already. I’m actually sad about how bad it works because I was hoping this would be my new thing I could do with friends and family. Edit: months later... and it’s only getting worse. Now the app keeps crashing.

20. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Too hard to set up, medals are a racket. Ugh - what a way to make an unhappy customer. In both the purchase process on the website and the setup process in the app I've run into nonsensical dead ends, unnecessary steps, and apparent bugs. I've still not managed to get the app to sync with Apple Health after multiple uninstalls and restarts per their troubleshooting guide. Links to support on their website are broken, so no help there. That aside, street view in the app simply doesn't work (it does work on the website). And finally, their business model requires you to buy an overpriced trinket of a medal. All I wanted was a virtual hike with pedometer integration and street view! I'm really regretting this purchase.

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Great idea, clunky execution. My sisters started a journey that sounded fun and I joined them about a week later. Joining their “community” required several “text” messages back and forth with support. Three other family members decided to join and all had the same problem. Support initially responds as if they don’t understand the problem and refer you to their help articles which do not explain why the community password doesn’t work. When my partner joined, I used his phone to pay the fee but my credit card. Still, two days later he received notification he needs to pay. When support was asked about this, the response was “Where did you purchase this?” On the software! No way to send screen shots to support. Text only. Lastly, I received notice that someone was following me. Someone with multiple sexual acts in their name. They are not from a family member. Still no way to get a screen shot. Working with support is too time consuming. I’m not sure this is a safe app.

22. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Was fun but now isn’t. App stopped working. Cannot get in contact with support to fix the issue. Would not recommend.

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Sincerely hope this app gets work done. Great idea, great way to track and maintain your progress for your missions. But man oh man this app seems like it was made in 07 and never updated. Please make this app not so clunky

24. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    Clunky. I’ve tried and tried to get this app to sync continuously with Apple Health. Followed the manuals, reached out to support (they offered nothing new but I did it again anyway). Overall this app is clunky. No side swipes to move from mission to mission, rather hard returns, another select and back again. I’ve just taken to entering my distance by hand. Overall, this app is clunky and needs a lot of work in the ease of use, intuitiveness, and sync departments.

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    In dire need of an overhaul. Please tell me this app is an MVP experience. This is not the most user friendly app and needs to have some improvements in terms of navigation and design. If you need someone to update, I can help you. Trying to figure out how to complete the mission was frustrating. Call to actions need to be made much clearer.

26. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    App is broken. Every time I try to gig in with the app, it says “Failure. Your login has failed. Click OK to try again or recover your password.” I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app and tried changing my password. App is useless.

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Unfortunately Terrible UX / UI. I was actually really excited to use this app. Followed all the instructions, everything is connected as it is supposed to be, and it doesn’t pull any of the data automatically. I have an Apple Watch, it is tied to Apple health, and it doesn’t pull in anything. I asked support for help, and they basically said to delete the app, give it 24 hours, and try it again. I followed the instructions, still no luck. Now they just tell me I need to manually enter all of my data. What is the purpose of having an app connected to your activity logs if it won’t actually pull in any of the data?

28. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    App is old, slow and awkward. I wish I had been able to see the app before I paid money to join a challenge. The experience on desktop is much better (although not modern or slick feeling either). It’s clunky, the screen is stretched on my iPhone XR, and it’s really slow. The map interface is poor and overall it’s disappointing. If it’s auto-pulling info from your phone or watch, It only updates your progress 4x a day (but doesn’t tell you when). If you don’t open it every day, it won’t log your miles so - day, you go 3 days of workouts without remembering to open it. On the 4th day you open it and it doesn’t register the last 3 days until basically the *next* day (day 5) so it’s hardly something that I can put a 20 mile bike ride into and get the awesome satisfaction of opening the app and seeing where I am now on the Ring of Kerry or Hadrian’s Wall and feel accomplished. (You can just enter your mileage manually.)

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not user friendly at all. I’ve don’t think I’ve ever written an App Store review but after using this app for a few weeks I felt like I had to. It’s straight terrible. It’s not user friendly or intuitive AT ALL. I had to keep going into and out of it just to enter the code to start my challenge. Then couldn’t easily find how to enter information when I first tried the app. After having used YesFit, this one is just a nightmare in comparison. Not a reflection of the race aspect, just the app itself. I’ve not tried doing it direct on the web, but would strongly recommend you check that option out first before downloading this.

30. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

    Poorly designed and poor performance. The App is terrible. Poor design and it stopped syncing after less than three weeks. Complete waste of money.
