" July 12, 2022 5.0 It's really easy to use the app and redeem points. I also like how it has worked in the CoE courses. They are super high value (IE not very hard to get into but extremely insightful and informative) and it all comes from navigating the app and chasing points. Of course, the points are nice but it has opened doors to discovering the true benefits of the service which is health and wellness in the workplace. Pros I already use whoop, and since that writes to health that automatically registers to the app if you allow those permissions, though the whoop doesn't track steps so this fills a gap for me as an individual user. It is also fun to see how others are doing on the leaderboard feature. Cons I would like the time frames of the challenges to count for all day and then retroactively count activity. For example, if you are like me and you don't look at the app until the end of the day, a challenge may have ended earlier in the day. I walk to work many days, so I will often go the whole day and 10k steps until I realize I never started a new challenge until I get home to check my progress. It would be nice for me at this point to be able to start the "day challenge" and have it look back at the whole day, not an exact 24hour window. Review Source JS Jacqui S. ABX Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Thanks!" July 12, 2022 5.0 I love GoVida because it makes me think about my exercise habits every day - I think of it kind of like a habit tracker. To note - I have already sent in a review but I'm submitting this formally. I appreciate that you sent out a review to our company after hearing from me. I don't know if it was my review that stoked that fire, but either way I appreciate the forethought from you all. Thank you. Pros I really enjoy this app because it has gotten me walking more. I've chosen to go on walks outside on days where I might have chosen other activities, which is kind of a pro because Vitamin D, but also I'm not swimming as much as I used to which makes me sad. I love the competitive aspect, watching my coworkers and where they are in their step count. I enjoy the rain sounds and the daily checkins - I wish there was a way to monitor my moods over time (or maybe there is and I just haven't found it yet). Cons I really really really really wish that there was a way I could check in more than three times a week. The only checkins that are valued daily are steps, and that's... kinda lame. I do yoga every day after work, I swim two or three times a week, and I play music almost every day. I'm only able to count three of those sessions a day. A few weeks back I played the fiddle at the Ren Faire - SIX HOURS STRAIGHT OF PLAYING FOR TWO DAYS IN A ROW! I was exhausted and exhilarated and SUPER SORE, and I was only able to count one of those sessions for only a half hour because I had already checked in twice during the week. It's almost de-motivational for me to use the app because as much as I love being competitive and want to get points, only a few of my exercise experiences a week are counted - making it like hitting a wall for points unless I take up running, which won't happpen lol. This means I don't even check in to all of my exercises during the week because in my head 'it doesn't matter, i'll check in later' and then never do. Review Source TC Teresa C. Business Analyst Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Not so good tool" July 5, 2022 3.0 Pros The feature that gives you points when achieving goals and that is very inspiring and motivating Cons The difficulty to coordinate with the apps that provide the input of the information of workouts, sleep... couldn't connect with Zepp, my smartwatch activity app Review Source JD Jhe D. Head of Music and Events Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Brilliant incentives, easy to use and highly engaging. " June 2, 2021 5.0 My overall experience with GoVida is excellent. I don’t think I have ever received such efficient and effective customer service in my entire life as I have with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] @ GoVida! Excellent app, so much future potential too; I am looking forward to keeping this as part of my life / habits going forward. My health has already improved, as well as my motivation. It is also a great way to celebrate what was already being done before joining. I would highly recommend it to any business, as well as suggest for there to be a “personal” version for families and friends, as I believe it will do wonders for the mind and body. Pros The interface and dashboard is easy to use, well considered and generally intuitive. The integration of fitness trackers such as Apple Health and Fitbit are very helpful and offer excellent ways to combine own personal habits with a celebratory tool / work incentive. Having leaderboards for both steps and points is great; it allows for healthy competition as well as teamwork for the company-wide challenges. Personally, having this app / incentive scheme has really driven me to do just that little bit more when it comes to my health and well-being. My day now starts with “checking in” with myself and how I feel, followed by listening to a couple “mind” audios to help refocus my thoughts. Then I focus on getting my steps in wherever I can; walking rather than bus, doing cardio rather than skipping it, then seeing if a can push to be #1 on the leaderboard for the day! Over just the short time frame that I have had GoVida, I have already seen improvements in my recovery time and heart rate, just by doing the extra cardio. Personally, I am a gym / strength trainer, so having points also for my training sessions at the gyms is particularly useful, especially as my gym was already verified within the app before I started. Overall, this has added an excellent reward system to my personal life; as well as a healthy way to build rapport with my team. Cons I had a couple of issues with my steps being not counted as I was using too many trackers at once (I bought a Fitbit, Fitbit and Apple do not currently work together/ integrate as companies, only through 3rd party apps). This was resolved very quickly by \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] at GoVida, who was able to suggest and support me thorough my confusion. It would be interesting to see if there would be a way to add other data / stats into this app. I have been using MyFitnessPal for tracking food / nutrition, as well as weight and body fat. This may be too invasive to share for some people, especially being a work app, but it may be useful for this to be added to personal dashboards. Having a chat option would be funny / a stream / feed where people could chat, “heckle” or add pics. Having more “gym” / “strength trainer” incentives would be much appreciated. 4 weeks to get one set of points for gym is rather long! Review Source AK Amol K. Tech Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Go... Go... GoVida Go For It" August 11, 2023 5.0 Pros The most impactful feature of GoVida is its real-time Activity data availability. The naming convention used in this product is self-descriptiveand that makes this very easy to use. Regarding Onboarding of new Employer/Organization is totally handled by the Admin team. The admin team works proactively on this. Cons Currently, GoVida does not support data sync with the Health Connect. The development team is working on support for the Health Connect. Soon this functionality will be available for the users. Review Source MM Mareike M. Quality and Compliance Manager Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Motivating to move and calm down" July 6, 2022 5.0 I use the app daily and it does help me in my day to day life. Can only recommend it, as along with the Fitbit it does keep me motivated to take the extra steps and walk the stairs. Its also great to have their mind sections the go, if you find a few minutes you can just relax with some meditation wherever you are. Pros Steps and activity tracking, mind sections and challenges. It was easy to get onto company challenges and made people work together to achieve them Cons Sometimes it disconnects the tracker (fitbit) and has issues with other trackers (health). It does not automatically synchronise your activity before a challenge is ending. Review Source MP Margarita P. Vice President Student Life Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great app for personal wellness & community building!" July 6, 2022 5.0 We partnered with GoVida at the time of the pandemic which was marked by limited movement, anxiety, and feeling of isolation. Godiva provided a platform to move more, and feel a part of a larger community regardless of geographical location. It was a very positive partnership. Pros I like the holistic approach to wellness - physical & mental health support tools. Daily steps /weekly goals support the most important - regular daily movement. Team challenges bring a competitive edge and an opportunity to build community and engage with colleagues on a wellness journey. All of that has many positive ripple effects - better relationships, less stress, more fun, and better organizational wellbeing. Cons I miss the interactive content with other users. If there was a Feed where people's achievements are posted and we could either comment or engage through emotions would create a sense of stronger engagement. We had to make a separate chat online for that purpose. Some meditation records were too fast for relaxation. It would be helpful to have push notifications before the deadline to meet the goal expires. Existing features were easy to use and navigate but in the future additional features could be considered: water tracking, and cycle calendar.. . these features would make the users use the app more regularly. Reason for choosing GoVida it was a better cost/product ratio Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Program Manager Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Work Life Harmony" July 22, 2022 4.0 My experience with GoVida has been good in the sense that the app does motivate me to be more active . The GoVida team has been a pleasure to work with as well. Pros Its refreshing to talk to your co-workers about what they do for fitness and mental health. This app enables us to do just that without having to ask your colleagues to add you to their fitness tracking app which you use to share your activities with your friends and family. The app helps companies to promote the idea of work life harmony and that is a very important message for enterprises to share in this day and age if they want to be ahead of the curve. Cons The app itself has a lot of potential. The lack of a social feed where you could potentially post pictures, like, share, follow and share articles makes it less engaging than it could have been. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Wellness Educator Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "GoVida - a limitless potential for innovation in team well-being" February 6, 2021 5.0 Pros GoVida is a well built app, with a robust backend that seems almost limitless. The app loads and operates fast, and it is easy to manage my daily well-being activities. I like that the dashboard is an all access point to my activities, challenges and rewards so I can easily track my progress without effort. If I listen to a meditation GoVida gives me credit, if I do a challenge GoVida keeps tally, if I have a workout GoVida logs it. I'm happy to see a well-being platform that entices all users to connect with their community and live a better life at their own pace and skill level. Cons I would like to see future additions that enhance connectivity between users. This is probably already in development. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Executive Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "GoVida Review" September 16, 2020 4.0 Pros I really like how intuitive the app is, and offers insights into activities, mind and wellbeing techniques, and also the challenges section. Cons I think there's always room for more Rewards options, sometimes in certain categories there doesn't seem to be that much of a selection. I think for a Rewards app it's really important to make sure that users are constantly engaged with Rewards and Challenges, as that will keep them interested and remaining active users. Review Source JB John B. Director Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Wellbeing Enabler and Motivator " January 29, 2021 5.0 A fantastic app that helps motivate and promote a more active lifestyles as well as other personal development attributes; also the inter-team challenges and leaderboard and dashboards definitely leads to an increase awareness and focus of ongoing wellbeing - the best Wellbeing App for inclusion in a Corporate Wellbeing Strategy. Pros The overall objective to keep fit and healthy but without pressure, rather through fun and friendly team competition, equitably catering for all levels of physical fitness. A significant attraction is earning GoVida Rewards Points through tracking of step, attending wellbeing venues, attending mindfulness courses, online fitness sessions and attending specific challenges and redeeming these against a spectrum of rewards offerings, both Company Internal and externally, including charities. The Holistic nature of the content covering Physical, Mental and Lifestyle, which integrates well with Health Apps on most wearables to give an all-round daily, week and annual summary of activities and achievement. A very easy to enable and use Wellbeing Ap - stimulating even people who are not typically active, to join in and have fun - and get fitter! Cons The absence of sleep tracking data - although I believe this is coming soon. Review Source CQ Collin Q. Resident Director Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GoVida Unites our Staff!" July 20, 2022 4.0 Very good! Love how it brings our staff together and creates a fun atmosphere of competition Pros Excellent displays used to show health data and step analysis. During team challenges everything is organized beautifully in the app and it is clear and easy how to use/track activity Cons I am very tall (2 meters) and although I may walk the exact same distance as someone 1.5 meters, I have far fewer steps than they do. This puts me at a disadvantage during walking challenges. I should be rewarded for distance walked vs steps taken. Perhaps there should be a way in the app for it to know my height and then adjust accordingly Review Source LM Lisa M. Regional Mgr Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "GoVida Review" September 20, 2023 4.0 I enjoy it, I would say I am even addicted to it, I would estimate my steps have doubled since using this app. Pros The competition with colleagues motivates me to increase my step count. Cons Difficulty in syncing with the Garmin app. Review Source PP Peter P. Group CEO Market Research Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best physical and mental wellbeing app in the market place." June 9, 2021 5.0 The team at GoVida have been fantastic through out. The implementation was seemless and pain free which has proven with over 80% engagement. Pros The application has all the features needed to keep staff motivated and engaged. to date we have run a couple of team challenges through the app with great success. The engagement in these challenges were far higher than any other team event we have run so far!. We have collages all around the world and the app allowed us to run team events where everyone get get involved. Cons I would love to see a swimming added to the tracking. Reason for choosing GoVida GoVida is provides all the features and services provided in one simple application. On research we found that there is one app for mind wellbeing, one app for physical wellbeing and apps for reward and recognition. Govida provides a total solution in one app. Review Source FG Fiona G. Senior Customer Merchandiser Textiles Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great app" October 5, 2022 5.0 Pros The app has been brilliant in helping support my fitness goals and rewarding my progress. The app works seamlessly with my fitbit and on the rare occasion a minor issue is raised, it is dealt with quickly by the GoVida team. I highly recommend this app to all businesses. Cons The data doesn't immediately automatically update when using the app, however this isn't an issue for me Review Source SF Samantha F. Practice manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A good tool to help wellbeing of your team" February 11, 2024 5.0 Daily use shows it’s a good tool to keep track and encourage the team to work together aswell as working to personal goals Pros Able to work as a team and it encourages the user to go one step further Cons Can’t think of something yet lol but will update if I come accross anything Review Source TI Tony I. IT&T Director Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "BWC Review" August 11, 2023 4.0 I am fairly new with the application but once I master it I believe it will be a very worth while application to track my wellness activities. Pros I like Go Vida's portability and ease in which you can track my activities Cons It sometime difficult to maneuuver about the application Reason for choosing GoVida We liked our sales representative, Chris Tomkinson, and he made it affordable. Review Source RD Rhys D. ACCOUNTS APPRENTICE Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "GoVida Review " October 20, 2022 5.0 Overall i think it has been very helpful for keeping healthy and moving. Pros i Think its great as i can set goals and follow them while being motivated by the rewards i can earn. Easy way to track my steps each week. Cons I didnt find anything i disliked with the app overall as it was easy to use and get rewards. Review Source JA Joel A. Chaplain Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great app!" July 6, 2022 5.0 Pros I like the challenges offered on the app, especially being able to compete with colleagues to achieve certain goals. Cons Steps sometimes don’t update right away, or I need to open and update the app in order to see my steps. Review Source DW Danny W. Physical Activity and Sport Officer Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Helping colleagues to be more active one step at a time" September 21, 2020 4.0 The app has been a great tool for my colleagues and I to measure how active we are, and to spurn us on to do more physical activity and walking - the competitive side works for some people, but for those who are less competitive there are other incentives that the app offers that have appealed to them e.g. points for venue check-ins, mindfulness videos etc Pros The app is very easy to download, install and get started - no lengthy surveys to fill out or hoops to jump through, and the onboarding process for colleagues is very simple too. There's handy integration with smartphone apps and devices to allow easy syncing of data, and the app is clean, professional and simple to use and nevigate around. Cons It's great to hear that many ideas that we've thought to enhance the app (e.g. intra-organisational leaderboards, different types of challenges etc) have already been thought about by the developers and they are in the process of being added in to future versions of the software. Review Source MVS Mariia Viktoriia S. Receptionist Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Enjoyed it!" July 6, 2022 4.0 Pros Accessibility and usability is on a high level. Cons Would be nice if there could be a map tracking your walks. Review Source DL Dylan L. Senior Client Support Adviser Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "GoVida is amazing!" August 13, 2021 5.0 I have benefited from purchasing a mental health course on Centre of Excellence and helped gain money for charity! Pros I like the option to gain points by just walking around, completing physical challenges and mental health challenges. It has the option to check in at venues and if your venue is not there, GoVida will add them to support you. I think its a good incentive to also have the charity pot that you raise money for! Cons I think there could be much more use including within the app including more of a variety of rewards, but i know that will come in time as they are updating and implementing new things frequently Review Source AJ Amey J. Technical lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fantastic App!" September 21, 2020 4.0 I am using GoVida from last 6 months and now I am addicted to it. I was not fitness freak earlier. I got busy with my work and daily routines but this app motivated back me to healthy lifestyle. I can track my all activities here. . Competitions, Challenges keep me active all time along with that I get rewards for that too. Just Amazing !!! Grab rewards like for anything from exercise to Meditation. Healthy life + Happy Mind. Love this concept . Thoroughly recommended. Pros App is like saviour in this pandemic. Getting rewards for your physical fitness and Meditations is like double bonus. Really like rewards concepts and different mindfulness programs. All are in one place from taking care of all your activities to your mental health. Cons Nothing much but having different wearables connected along with different kinds of reward will make app more enjoyable. Review Source NN Nicki N. Business Development Partner Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Go vida " June 15, 2021 4.0 Overall a great device and really motivated me through the lock down and to push myself , encouraged me to relax and not only doing this to keep myself fit and healthy at the same point you receive rewards which again is a great motivation . Great way to set team challenges and add a little fun . Pros Loved that it tracks all of your steps Motivates Excellent relaxation tracks Cons sometimes it would not always sink with your watch Review Source TA Tom A. TV Director Broadcast Media Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My experience with GoVida" September 16, 2020 5.0 Very positive experience on the whole. Would recommend to friends in a heartbeat. Pros The app is easy to use and pretty intuitive. GoVida is that gentle push I need to get me out for a run or to the gym. The meditations they offer are great too Cons I was using the app at the start when there were a few teething problems. These have by and large been erased now though.
