WellSpark 4+

This app is beyond infuriating to use. Every time you try to select a menu item from the bottom row it requires you to sign in again, TWICE, then just takes you back to the main menu. The sections are not intuitively titled and it takes so long to navigate to where you want to be. The fact that it requires you to download another app to connect your fitness devices/accounts is ridiculously unnecessary. It’s as though they gave this very little thought and even less effort. Just use the website even though that pretty terrible too. Honestly, companies really should just take their money elsewhere, this program is too irritating for all but the most dedicated or desperate to use. 🙄

The app seems to be in infancy and has potential for greatness. At the moment it’s a web app, and not a true phone application. Formatting is broken on several pages for most phones, with buttons hiding behind camera cut outs. There’s no true integration for Apple products. With help of HumanAPI you can pull in manually logged workouts, standard tracking activity is not imported into WellSpark. You need to create manual entries for each day by referring to your Health app. The app only receives updates once or twice a year which means minimal improvement, and potential for security risk.

It logs you out everytime you do anything at all. I can’t read messages or notifications. It won’t sync with the scale my insurance company sent me. Unfortunately, my participation on the app is a compulsory as it’s a prerequisite for insurance to pay for my life saving medication. So I get to pretend to believe mindfulness and logging water consumption will help me lose weight and not a medication that allows my body to process insulin like a normal person. Fun times.
