Overall does an okay job of very basic self-tracking behavior and (for me) was easy to get in the habit of entering info every day. What’s even the point of the log if you are only going to log some of the earnings. Even the bonus points you get from completing the checkup are not even included in your points log. VP Cash awarded from the check is given at the end of the quarter so there is no way of knowing you got credit until the quarter is over. It takes a few days for them to update your charts, and the checkbox in the app never gets checked. You can’t sign up on the app, must be on browser, and there is hardly any confirmation from VP that they know you have scheduled an appointment, or after you go, that they got your results properly. An example of bad instructions within the app is the quarterly wellness screenings bonus. There’s enough working point tracking to get the maximum value every quarter, but it’s pretty demotivating when you go out of your way to do an activity for the points and then VP doesn’t acknowledge it and leaves the box unchecked. Many of the ways to earn points do not track properly and instructions for earning/participating/connecting are usually incredibly unhelpful and vague. Unfortunately, the app design is buggy and often pretty janky. It encourages and reward’s participation, healthy habits, and education while giving additional interaction between employees. I’m excited to see this app improve and for now will be content with what it offers, as no other app/ journal/ or tracker I have ever used even comes close to this one. Regardless, I have my personal color preferences I would like to use. But the colors correspond to genres and not for how well you are doing on that goal. And others that I was doing well at were red. I was so thrown off that some goals I was tracking that I was falling behind on were labeled green. I had to call and ask what ever color meant. It currently has its own version of color coding which is not explained anywhere. Since it houses so much information on different topics it would be nice if the user that the ability to organize and group certain portions together at our discretion. And it offers tips and advice so even better! Navigation is pretty straight forward but still not as smooth or seamless as I would like. Virgin Pulse houses all that in 1 place, I love it. This app definitely has room for improvement but is amazing for where it is at now! I have personally spent years tracking different aspects of my life such as health/ finances/ work through various methods. I want to give it 5 stars but no app is without its kinks.
