Using Apple HealthKit, CARROT gives you a personalized “Activity Goal”, based on your own activity history, which is updated daily. Push yourself just a little bit more each day, make your personal goals, and then reap the rewards!
CARROT has successfully gamified health and wellness, including several fun features available to all users. “CARROT Survivor” is a last-person-standing competition that challenges contestants to make their person goals each and every day. And CARROT’s “Unlockables” requires you to achieve a personal goal streak to access special prizes.
With CARROT, there’s no need to purchase a wearable tracker – everything, including your steps data and rewards, is stored exclusively on your phone. The app doesn’t even have to be on or running for you to earn points. (But if you already own a tracker, CARROT accepts data from most popular devices.)
Would you like your employer to offer CARROT rewards to you and your coworkers? “CARROT Health & Wellness” is a special, low-cost program that offers employees exclusive company-sponsored rewards such as digital gift cards – available directly through the app – just for meeting daily activity goals. Employers can launch their own CARROT Wellness pilot program by entering their information on the CARROT “Wellness” screen.
Because CARROT respects your privacy, you have the option to sign in using your phone number, Facebook or anonymously. Anonymous (“Guest”) users should beware that, since all data is stored only on the device, you will permanently lose all relevant data and earned rewards if you log out or delete the app.
CARROT Wellness is a fully inclusive program, providing the opportunity for manual wheelchair users to participate by being rewarded for their “pushes”, rather than “steps”. (Note: The use of an Apple Watch is required to accurately collect push data for use on CARROT.)
Many exclusive rewards are made available based on your location, and you can also receive bonus Reward Points for visiting CARROT businesses (so please be sure to allow “location services”). And to be certain you don’t miss out on a savings opportunity, CARROT can remind you of nearby offers at local businesses using iBeacon technology. This is done in the background with low-energy Bluetooth. (Disclaimer: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.)
If you’d like your favorite stores and restaurants to offer CARROT Wellness rewards, just send them a request through the CARROT “Maps” feature.
Easy to use. Convenient. Personalized. Free. When it comes to Fitness Rewards, nothing beats CARROT!

Rewards unattainable
dazzo0007
No. 15,000,000 (yes, million) for a Best Buy gift card. I’ve had this app for a few YEARS and am not even close. As with other fitness tracking apps this is just another data-mining trap.
Decent foundation, still turns people off, overall

I like the layout of this app. I also use Sweat and Life Coin. When comparing the 3 apps, this one seems to have unattainable reward. The focus is also skewed away from Wellness when you ask to refer 20 people. Hell, if I could get 5 that would be a miracle. Fix the rewards to seem attainable. Also have more contests & variety of methods for increasing coins in which fitness/hard work is the focus.
Ok app

Updated: I deleted the app. I am not going to recruit people who will also have to wait 4-+ years to get the cheapest reward. If they had smaller, more attainable reward then it might be with the space on my phone. I like the idea of this. But I just did the math and with it only giving 10,000/day for steps, it will take more than 4 years to get the only gift card I have any interest in getting. Unless this Survivor thing gives more rewards but that’s apparently not happening now and I can’t see any real explanation of how to join that. The might be good for people whose companies set something up but useless for others.
It’s a fun app

I do enjoy the overall app but it’s annoying when I make my step count goal according to my Apple Health app but Carrot takes a while to update and I don’t receive my goal coin. I’ve reached out to customer service and when I informed them of the issue, I got no resolution. Even when I sent over screenshots of the days when it happened.
Excellent

The app is excellent and syncs up to my steps every day. The rewards are great and attainable. The app adjusts my goals daily based on my steps the day before, which is great. I’ve read some reviews and I believe there is some confusion with another app in Canada. Response time is excellent from support and I’ve seen them improve this app over the past year. For a business this is an excellent incentive program that I know increases involvement from the staff and is a cost-effective wellness program. Work with Carrot to implement a well designed/effective program.
Good app

Wish there were tangible rewards for walking when you cant get your employer to join app community and participate. I work for a large company thats very health conscious but cant get them to participate in this apps rewards program. Love the features of the app just wish that people who cant get employer to use the program could earn more rewards for wanting to be healthy.
Fairly unobtainable and also confusing
Formerviggleenthusiast
The tracking works fine and connects with Fitbit. There aren’t clear instructions on what to do and how prizes are won. Prizes are very lofty.
Not as advertised
taillya
There seems to be a lot of things that are advertised in the description but are missing, like the green coins that show in the preview pictures, carrot versus, carrot survivor. Also there are only a small handful of rewards to choose from and they would take over a year to get as they cost millions of reward points. You get one point per step, and although there is supposed to be a reward for reaching your daily goal, there isn’t.
