Inconsistent at best – SPAR! - Do it together Review

This app is a great concept in theory but lousy in UI and UX execution It freezes almost every time I open it, often forcing a restart. Sometimes videos upload, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes you can watch other videos, sometimes you can’t. It’s so buggy and glitchy that I’m almost going to give up. There were days I would check in and my circle would never turn black, but then 30 seconds later it would give me credit for a day I hadn’t yet completed in the future. Literally every time you refresh the app, the information is different. But my biggest pet peeve about this app is the fact that you can’t see the metrics. You can’t have an app where money is the motivating factor, and yet, not disclose the number of people participating. The fact that you cannot see the number of people in a challenge and the number left, without painfully counting down a (sometimes very long) list is ridiculous!! And then every single day in the chat someone asks how many people are in it, or how many are left. SPAR claims they want it to be about accountability and making good habits and not about money, but money IS by and large the factor! It just is! There are plenty of other accountability apps out there but none that I know of that actually charge money. It seems a bit shady for them not to present that information up front. I also had no idea that they took a cut. I “won” $5 recently but was only awarded $3.64. Where did that extra money go? I had no idea they took a cut since it’s not disclosed anywhere. I was super excited to start using this app but unless these things are changed, I’m deleting it.
