MoveSpring Reviews

I used this app as part of a local walking challenge. I loved that I could compare my step count and kms to others, enter new challenges, and chat with others engaged in the challenge. The graphics and "badges" made it fun as well.

Sometimes I would get stuck on a screen and have to reload the app but otherwise it worked fine. This could have been due to my slow internet, though. I also wished it has more options for syncing to my fitness tracker watch as I had to manually enter each day since it didn't recognize mine.

This platform is so easy to use. What makes it better is the WONDERFUL customer service! Training was available to us and they made sure we were comfortable with the product before launching our first challenge.

I really don't have any dislikes. Customer Service has been so receptive to all our questions, especially Representative!

Hi Susan, Thank you for sharing your feedback on your experience using MoveSpring! We're always looking at how we can improve the site for both clients and users. Very happy to hear that users are feeling motivated by the programming! -The MoveSpring team

What I liked most about the MoveSpring software is that the content modules have customizable templates. We created quite a few scheduled content modules for our challenge and it was very straightforward and easy to schedule and edit. The templates help with content creation to get you started with adding more engagement to your challenge.

What I least liked most about the MoveSpring software is some of the nomenclatures. For example, the words 'group' and 'team' were referenced interchangeably by participants. They couldn't figure out how to join the group even though they were already in the group but actually meant that they couldn't figure out how to join a team.

Hi Caryn, Thank you for taking the time to review MoveSpring! Glad you're loving the content feature. We're adding new content monthly so you'll have more to choose from. You can also look forward to content Collections, which will allow you to pick a topic and we'll schedule out content throughout your challenge. The nomenclature was a bit confusing, wasn't it? Good news being that we updated our app to replace the word Groups with Challenges. That should do the trick to make the distinction between challenges and teams easier for all users. Thanks again! - The MoveSpring team

MoveSpring was great for such a large group of people participating in 1 month challenge. It was really easy to on-board people into the group making our participation rate higher then expected. Managing the challenge from the backend of MoveSpring was incredible - we could download daily reports to manipulate the data we needed and the clean clear graphics MoveSpring produced were great for demonstration purposes. This saved so much time and allowed us to tally different statistics. From a user perspective MoveSpring was easy to use, allowed for a group conversation using the chat feature and had fun challenges (streak, globetrotter) to follow along with.

A few users found that they every time they opened the MoveSpring App they had to reconnect their device which was annoying and frustrating. We were doing a 10,000 steps a day challenge but there was no where to follow along with how many steps people were taking on that day unless you clicked directly into their profile. Users would have preferred to have seen the step counts for the day, each day, to be able to follow along. Unless the user was actively engaged in the challenge they had no reason to log into MoveSpring, which means their devices didn't connect. This was frustrating for our Administrator who had to constantly remind people to log into the MoveSpring app. A daily reminder for users from the app would have been a great way to solve for this.

We're so happy to hear you had a great experience, Barbara! A smooth onboarding is key to a successful program. Bummed to hear some users experienced device issues. We'll make sure to get them in contact with our customer support team ASAP next time around to get their issues resolved quickly. Since your review we've made quite a few enhancements to the platform to encourage engagement; think Friends, 1:1 chat, and sync reminders. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything from us! - The MoveSpring team

I used this app when I went to a professional conference for physical therapists. We set a conference-wide goal of accomplishing a certain number of steps during the days the conference was in session, with the intention of making a charitable donation if our goal was met. We met our goal well before the conference was over, but it was an incredibly effective way to get thousands of people moving together and and an even more effective way to help others! It also showcased individuals who had the highest step counts, but most impressively, it was really neat to see so many people get involved in a cause!

I do not have any critiques for this app.

Woah, Rachel, that's one stellar review! We really appreciate you taking the time to review our app. We're thrilled to hear the MoveSpring challenge was successful in getting people moving together for a good cause. We hope to see you in the future! - The MoveSpring team

The Android client was easy to setup and sync with my existing Fitbit account. The mobile app was reliable syncing and my individual stats are clearly shown.

My biggest gripes about this service revolved around viewing data from other members of the step competition we were doing. Since we were doing a total step competition it felt like a huge piece of information was missing by not being able to see everyone's total count. You are only able to see a limited view of the users near your own total step count, even from the website. I also thought the UI for navigating to see the group stats was tedious and felt unintuitive buried in menus.

Thank you for your feedback, Joseph! Glad to hear that setup and syncing went smoothly. We've since added a Friends feature, which allows you to see daily totals and where you stand amongst your friends. You'll also notice a few updates to navigation and module structure to be more intuitive and user friendly. Lastly, we've communicated with your admin around the importance of adding in an individual...

Ease of getting set up, lederboards, chat functions, can also set up teams

Feels like a first gen product could be more visually appealing, also syncing has issues off and on
