Reviews of GoVida
Alternatives Considered:
Wellbeing! Collaboration! Team Building!
Comments: Happy and Healthy teams!
Pros:
This app enables peers, co-workers across the organization to take-up challenges and promotes healthy competition. Has facilitated team bounding as well as motivated the teams to remain healthy and mindful. The meditation and leaderboard features were instrumental in helping adapt to the #newnormal during Covid19 lockdown. The feature to redeem points for discounts and charity help contribute to the community and local businesses as well.
Cons:
Live playlist and a route map showing the daily jog pattern

Thanks Athang for your feedback and feature suggestions. We are delighted you are feeling the benefits from using GoVida and we are continuously adding more to the platform. Best wishes.
Great way to keep an active lifestyle as a priority.
Comments: 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.
Not really sure how GoVida works
Comments: I think if GoVida can solve their connection issue with 3rd parties, it would be much better. From my experience, it would be a no from me until those issues are fixed.
Pros:
I liked the idea of using a team/company wide fitness tracker. I thought this would be the fun thing to keep me driven outside of work to compete with myself to better myself with my physical health.
Cons:
Nothing worked, no connection with Nike Run Club or Apple Fitness. I was consistently working out after trying to connect my fitness/activity trackers, but saw absolutely no movement and support was not able to help.

Motivational
Comments: Very positive so far, the GoVida team are very quick to help if you need any guidance. Lots of different rewards to choose from.
Pros:
It motivates the team and promotes healthy competition, to increase fitness and wellbeing.
Cons:
At first I thought my watch wouldn’t sync, as it’s a less known brand. But Govida helped with getting the information for my fitness tracker and it now all works well? No complaints.
Amazing wellbeing app for your team

Pros:
It’s ability to reward your team and encourage healthy behaviours
Cons:
Occasional issues for linking some tech but support has always been available and able to rectify
