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 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 VB Via B. Management Accountant Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Benefits of Govida App" October 5, 2022 5.0 I have been using the Govida app for the last 3 years and highly value our company having introduced the app. I enjoy all the challenges and the extra podcasts for personal health and well-being, like the tips on Menopause. As a team, it keeps us motivated and competitive and doesn't make exercising feel like a chore, when it should be fun and enjoyable. My friends are jealous and envious that our company provides such a fantastic benefit to its employees. Pros The Govida app is very easy to use and to be intergrated by the company. The rewards that I have received, from an extra day's holiday per year and over £70 worth of vouchers keeps me motivated and looking forward to exercising... Cons I wish that Govida was compatible with Samsung smart watches as I had to purchase a Fitbit to link to my Samsung android smart phone 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 JA James A. Audit Senior Manager Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A focus on employee wellbeing" June 23, 2020 5.0 We have seen staff encouraged to check-in to many of the GoVida certified venues such as gyms, yoga studios and equestrian schools with those staff taking advantage of the membership discounts on offer and the in-app Mindfulness Diploma. Since implementation we have noticed an increase in employee engagement in wellbeing initiatives across all grades largely driven by the GoVida leader boards and team competitions being run. Pros BDO LLP have worked closely with GoVida to implement the App and promote Health and Wellbeing within our North West Business Assurance department. We now have an active user based of over 100 employees with plans to roll out further to other business streams. Feedback from employees has been positive on the motivation and redeemable rewards which supports the other wellbeing initiatives BDO promotes. Cons Over the 6 month implementation period we have seen additional features added into the app such as support for Apple and Fitbit devices which has driven adoption further. Initially there was a focus on check-ins at venues but over the course of the COVID-19 UK lockdown additional meditation and virtual yoga session have been added and well received by the team.

I have taken part in a couple of challenges which are fun and of course you want to be on the team that wins every time. There is a good section of of rewards and I have received a few gift vouchers and will many sure I keep checking for any new rewards as they change Cons It is fairly straight forward, so nothing that I don't like Review Source BJ Bhushan J. Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for keeping me in Shape" September 25, 2020 5.0 Pros This app is great, I am using GoVida for more than a year now. I used to keep track of my steps mostly. I generally walk around 12000 steps a day and I really liked the way it show me my progress in day,week, month and year manner. This app also reward me with points /GoVPs based on my Step count and Leaderboard is just awesome. Its pretty good to see yourself rising above in global leaderboard. I also started meditation using this app now, thought I haven't used it much but I can say it is pretty decent one and easy to perform. Thumbs up from me to this app. Cons I think the feature can be added is calories counter. Actually I am trying to loose some weight so app do show me how many steps I walked but when I want to understand how many calories I lost , I get stuck and this is something I think GoVida should work on.

" February 11, 2024 5.0 My overall experience with GoVida is very postive. Wether it be tracking my steps for the day, using the cooking recipes, general wellness podcasts. Theres always something to do on there, with the added bonus of collecting points to redeem vouchers after! Pros I love GoVida as it encourages me to be more active and do more activities throughout the day. The app is user friendly and gives me the chance to try activites I've never done like yoga and meditation. Cons I like everything about GoVida, theres nothing that i dont like.

I would prefer that it did it automatically Review Source CH Claire H. Merchandiser Textiles Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "GoVida Review " October 5, 2022 4.0 Great and have recommended for friends to try and get their work places using it. Pros The reward programme really helps motivation to hit daily step targets and the challenges to earn extra points are great as they give me something to aim towards. Cons I feel on the daily mood/energy question they should have a report where you can look back and see your moods/energy levels over the past week/month etc. so you can look for patterns in when your mood and energy levels are at their highest and lowest. Review Source GS Gemma S. Dentist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "GoVida great app!" February 11, 2024 5.0 Overall really positive. I enjoy using it and log onto app each day Pros I like the access to Fitness workouts and mindfulness and meditation. I have enjoyed the team challenge Lands end to John O Groats- and would like to see more. It has been good for our workforce. Cons I would like navigating around the apps different functions to be easier. There are a couple of workouts I'd like to do - for example runners stretch. However I sometimes struggle to find where I saw them. Maybe an option to " save your favourites" ? Review Source QMII Qawal Murad Ilyas I.

Encourages you to take reasonable challenges which are redeemable for great rewards when completed, so it's really easy to improve fitness levels. The new "mind" section is also great for meditation even for beginners. Cons There isn't anything I don't like.
