ChallengeRunner Fitness Challenge Logging allows participants to view and submit health challenge data and review the challenge leaderboard.

This application features a simple challenge logging interface and operates much like any other utility on the iPhone. While it does not provide detailed reports and functions besides data entry and a real-time challenge leaderboard, these features and more are available in your ChallengeRunner.com account created by your wellness program administrator.

It is now possible for ChallengeRunner to pull steps, active minutes, distance and calories from the Apple Health app. To turn on this functionality, enable the Health Integration switch in Settings and accept the HealthKit privileges when prompted in the ChallengeRunner app. With HealthKit enabled, ChallengeRunner will sync with the Health app whenever the ChallengeRunner app is opened. It can also automatically retrieve data in the background as long as the iPhone passcode is turned off. However, for the sake of security, we do not recommend this.

NOTE: Most functions require an Internet connection

Reviews

Useless
Aalliicc

When I open the app all I see is lines like in a notebook. Doesn't show any challenges or let you input anything. Don't think it's even syncing with apple health even though I set it up. Totally pointless...too bad my work pick this


Very disappointing
Baronapril

In so many ways - very disappointing. The app lags behind progress, has no timer to let you know how much time is left on a challenge, and does not even seem to work on the time zone for which our admin said it was set. The only stat we get is "total steps" which, again, lags behind progress by about 30 mins or more. Would be nice if they could show "daily progress" and have a timer for when successive challenges will rollover. And that's just a basic start on the suggestions for "improvement". I echo the previous viewer when I say I can't believe our company actually chose this app. <sigh>


Does what it is designed to do
R_Willy

The app seems to do what it is designed for; data entry. Those in our group that use Apple Health followed the website's instructions and have not reported an issue. The Leaderboard is available but can't say how fast it updates. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles but it is functional.


Easy to Use

This app pulls my steps from Apple health and displays my standings on the leaderboard for my challenge. Simple and user friendly.

We are utilizing this app for a team challenge at work and it's inspiring to watch my coworkers climb the list and achieve their step goals! The app is simple, yet efficient.

Not as advertised

I have a Fitbit but I’m still having to input data manually.


Clunky app
appme1

Disappointing app. Doesn’t update the standings sometimes for hours. No way to view the entire field from the app if you have more than 50 contestants. Needs a feature to show how far you have to go to complete the challenge and how much ahead or behind you are if mileage is broken down on a daily average.


Disappointing

Needs a lot of work. No way to look at entire standings. Cannot tell if I am looking at km or miles in ranking. Like a kindergartener put together the app.
