The first module we are releasing is for weight loss. Set up a group, invite your friends, weigh in, see your progress, and talk amongst yourselves all within the app!
Getting started is easy. First, create a group by setting the start date, duration, and the buy-in amount. Invite friends to join and once you reach the start date, start weighing in. You'll receive daily push notification reminders to weigh in if you haven't done so already. You can win a bunch of different prizes within Competish:
1) Weekly match-up: each week we'll pair you with someone new. If you lose more percentage weight than your match-up, you win this prize.
2) Weekly biggest loser: lose the highest percentage weight in your group and you win the weekly biggest loser prize
3) Competish first place: if you lose the most percentage weight in your group by the end of the Competish, you take home the big draw
4) Competish second place: if you lose the second highest percentage weight, you get the runner-up prize.
Key features:
* Easily create a group and invite friends to get started
* Submit weigh-ins by taking a picture of your feet on the scale
* Review other players weigh-ins
* Track progress and see who is in the lead every week, as well as your current winnings
* Receive daily push notification weigh in reminders
* Read and send messages within the group
The results don't lie - in beta testing, 100% of users lost weight, losing on average a pound per week.
We have a bunch of planned enhancements to come, including:
1) New modules (e.g., step count competition)
2) Integration with Apple HealthKit
3) User interface and experience improvements
4) Desktop access
5) Support for money transfer
Please try out the app and let us know any feedback you have - we hope you have as much or more success as the founder and beta users!

Easy to use, clear to read and fun to have competition

My only really complaint - I haven't figured out a way to modify an entry, for example if you enter an incorrect weight by accident it would be nice if you could go in and modify it
Loading Issue
Rich G - elite
The app isn’t loading all of a sudden. It has always been a bit buggy but this is the first time I cant flat out weigh i . Also incorporating Apple Health where tour weight goes from competish to there would be a nice feature once the more basic issues are resolved.
Unable to log in

Most days it’s fine. But occasionally the app will not log in. I have been trying all morning. It is really annoying.
App stopped working today

A group of us are in the middle of a challenge and the app completely stopped working today. It won’t even load. It’s had its bugs but overall was ok... We’re all frustrated.
Barely Works

I can almost never get into the app. It just says loading forever. Once in a rare while, I was able to get in. Until today when I got a new phone. Now I can’t get in at all. Just keeps spinning. I thought maybe I had forgotten my password, so I tried to reset it. Does the same thing. Just spins on loading forever and never actually sends the email to reset the password.
Crashes - Group Use
Caity Breeze
It keeps getting stuck in load status. It’s very glitchy and unreliable. 3 of us use the app to encourage each other to lose weight and it will not open for any of us. We pushed the update and now it opens but stays stuck on each page in loading status.
Doesn’t Work

I really wanted this app to work, the market doesn’t really have anything else like what it promised. We set up the game, it wouldn’t let us start right away, it delays you till the next day, this was frustrating when we all got together just to get the competition started. Once it started we got to do 1 weigh in, but on day 2 the app crashed for all 5 of us and it no longer opens up. I contacted the customer service twice but heard nothing back about it. After reading the other reviews they are all similar and people seem to have a lot of issues with the app. Maybe if they can fix the bugs and get better support this would be amazing, cause the market lacks this style of app. Also we were never able to put in the money and app never showed anything about money.
