It was a really great way to motivate myself because it had a goal and people to compete with

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: I won some pretty cool gift cards and now I can get health coaching, which is super important to me. I'm a very busy person and I really like having someone else figure all that out for me instead of putting hours of research time into it.

Pros:

It's got the sense of friendly competition I've always needed in a fitness app and the rewards program when I first started was really awesome!

Cons:

The rewards haven't been great in the product hunt community team. I dont personally have a team large enough to really use this within my own company but I enjoy the fun of it.

Easy to use - good amount of variety in activities

4.0 7 years ago

Pros:

it's simple to use, i like the notifications and reminders. I also like the variety of things offered via the app - would like to see more options for rewards, or tracking other things than steps

Cons:

the water tally is annoying, seems like there could be an easier way to capture that. if you could take screenshots from your phone for alarms, music challenges it would be so much easier grocery list challenge never works

Not as advertised

3.0 2 years ago

Comments: Often behind in tracking from a FitBit. Will not continue with Optimity if the More Rewards are no longer offered, reloaded, and redeemable

Pros:

App based. Daily activities. Tracking OK

Cons:

App is glitchy. Support…meh. Joined as it offered “gems to More Points” option. More Points are always “out of stock” in past 2 months. Reload of More Points based EST at noon…..say what!? Yes, middle of workday. But I have not seen any reloaded, always out of stock when I go to redeem. Either some members are redeeming more than their share or Optimity is not actually reloading

Optimity is a great program. It provides wonderful incentives for employees.

4.0 7 years ago

Pros:

I enjoy the rewards. Optimity provides great incentives for employees to stay active. This is important, especially for people who sit all day in desk jobs. I'm glad that my employer offers fitness incentives, including Optimity, to its employees because I feel that active employees are more productive.

Cons:

The activities are often repetitive. I would love to see more variety. Our employer offers fitness training to all employees but we don't get Optimity points for participating but I think we should. One small problem I have noticed for the past few months is that new rewards are rarely available to cash in. Perhaps the process for this could be facilitated so that rewards are more readily available.

4.0 7 years ago

Pros:

Ease of the application. I like that the daily goals are easy to implement and keeps you on track. Great app.

I enjoyed optimity but I did have difficulty as the rewards kept disappearing.

3.0 7 years ago

Comments: It motivated me to exercise more with rewards.

Pros:

I love that you got rewards for fitness. It really motivated me. I ended up doing a lot more exercise to get the Amazon and starbucks vouchers. They were rewards that I really wanted. Not just fitness stuff.

Cons:

After a few days all the rewards disappeared. I am not sure whether that was a technical problem or something else.

Got bored with participating .

3.0 7 years ago

Comments: In the beginning it was helpful to keep me motivated. Thew exercises did help.

Pros:

Accountability for each of the activities. Each activity seemed to help me improve throughout the process.

Cons:

Need more variety. It seemed like it became monotonous toward the end of the program. The app did not work as often as it seemed like it should have.

It is an easy-to-use program to keep order in wellness and health activities. Very useful.

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: Suggest a program that integrates good habits in the same application.

Pros:

I think it is important to keep the routines of exercise, hydration in combination with good eating habits integrated in the same program.

Cons:

The routine of exercise programs and the delay of the program sometimes. In the same way there could be a section that allows to customize a little more the diet plans.

Optimity Review

3.0 6 years ago

Pros:

The ability to use this software on mobile devices as well as a web-based platform for PC usage.

Cons:

Inability to manual add steps on the mobile application. To-date, this feature is only available on the web-based platform.

Optimity Response

6 years ago

Hi Fatima, Thank you for taking the time to post your review. We really appreciate the feedback! The manual add steps function has been added to the web app, where you can add your own steps as needed. To add steps on your mobile device, you will need to sync Optimity with an app or wearable device (e.g. Apple Watch). To do this, go to the home screen, select Sidebar Menu (top left), then select "Integrations". Here you will find a list of supported apps from which you can sync health data (steps, heart rate, and more). We hope you continue to enjoy the Optimity experience. Sincerely, Optimity Team

When it comes to redeem the points, 3 of my redeems have not been processed since Sept 2017

4.0 7 years ago

Comments: knowledge of nutrition, and get fit and exercise more.

Pros:

Follow it to get exercised. It's good for one's health, and get points. I also follow the nutrition instructions, and change my diet. Because of Optimity, I have started to buy Avacado and Salmon. I feel healthy after daily exercise following Optimity.

Cons:

It's very hard to get gift cards. My 3 redeems have not been processed since from September last year. It's difficult to communicate with Optimity. I sent email, chat, left voice mail, and my company's Executive Secretary sent emails to Optimity for me, I still have not got my gift cards while all my points are gone. Now I am scared to redeem my points. They will be gone, and I get nothing reward.

5.0 7 years ago

Pros:

Optimity encourages me to be more active as it provides various activities with the ability to set reminders. With the points obtained from completing the difference challenges, there is a variety of gift cards that you can redeem.

Cons:

Optimity has the same set of challenges and should increase the amount of challenges made available to its users.

Easy to use, features & functionality are ok

4.0 7 years ago

Comments: Made me aware, that without knowing I was super efficient with my organization skills and cleanliness OCD, and how simple day to day activity, like smiling or getting up to strech can count as exercices.

Pros:

that it is easy to use. the functionality and features are broad enough for a large audience. The short text are informative.

Cons:

Always the same exercises every day. Gets boring after a while. To many pictures to take and text to read. Doesn't get you up on you running

Overall pleased when with the product. Its gone through a couple iteration and its current is best!

4.0 7 years ago

Comments: Lose a few lbs! Friendly company competition ;)

Pros:

The UI interface is elegant; simple yet intuitive. Also, the Reward system is straight forward and easy to redeem! 1 last thing, I really appreciate the UI animations, let the person(s) who worked on it know that they've done an magnificent job. It's not too much or too little, there is enough to notice that makes the app 'pop' more. Definitely adds excitement when using the app.

Cons:

Gets stuck on loading spinner sometimes when opening the app. Android 7.0 Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

It was helpful, but frustrating at times.

4.0 7 years ago

Pros:

Easy to understand. The tips were helpful and I liked that it gave more helpful tips that covered a wide range of things besides eating healthy and exercising such as meditating.

Cons:

In the beginning, it was difficult to connect to my device. There were times that the software did an update and it "locked" me out from using it that day causing me to lose my place which was 2nd. I did have a representative try to assist me, but it didn't work.

Pros:

how easy it is to use - intuitive design elements graphs and tracking is accurate. like the timer countdown . also variety of activities

nothing really. if I had to pick it would be a larger variety of gift cards as well as more quantities of the popular gift cards. they sometime are not available and can be disappointing when you have saved up for it and it's no longer available

It motivates me to stay active

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: Fantastic reward

Pros:

The rewards are amazing and it keeps me stay active. It's also very easy to use and interactive. There are rarely days I go without using the app. I also appreciate the support and constant updates to improve the service.

Cons:

The delay for the rewards makes me hesitant to claim. There have been instances where my colleagues would submit a claim and receive no confirmation nor reward. The claim fell through the cracks and to this day has not been resolved.
