New to this group and to fitbit so sorry if it has been mentioned previously, but fitrpg is an android and iOS app that creates a game for you with challenges based off your fitbit readings. I just found it but so far it looks very promising and fun.

    Another fun game (if you're competitive) is matchup.io, which has competitions with people who have fitness trackers from all over the world.

    Be warned: they are HARDCORE. There are people on there who are somehow logging 25-30m per day.

    They started a fun new one: walk the Pacific Trail. 70m for the week, you do the 70m whenever. Not so much about competing against others.

    And thanks for the link to FitRPG. I love the "gamification" of fitness, so the more apps the merrier.

    I enjoy this app a lot, I've been on it for about a week now. Found it on fitbit.com forums.

    Well, I must be doing something wrong (maybe you have to sign up separately for the forums???) but I have signed up to the app as "dianeinca" if you want to add me!

    From testing I have found that putting account on two devices may mess with it, that or the iOS version is messed up. On android ince your quest is done you can claim it.. If you don't you lose health or whatever.. But on iOS I couldn't claim it even though the progress was already over 100% anyone else have this issue?

    Yeah, I'm underwhelmed by the coding in the iOS app -- there's a lot of jankiness that should not be happening if they're using proper system calls. I'm hoping it's just because they were rushing to get something into the store and are working on fixing it...

    Yeah i emailed the developer about the iOS version..


    I am extremely addicted to this app tho. Walked around in circles just to complete quests and level my guy up. It's definitely a work in progress, but I feel like it has a solid foundation and great idea.. Just needs a little spit shine and sparkle

    Went through and sent requests to everyone.. Hope everyone is enjoying it as much as I am. I got my first 20k day yesterday because I had to finish that quest.. I think about 10k of it or more was walking around in a circle in my living room with my 17 month old lol.. Whatever works though

    I'm BarbieAS, same as on here :). I'm going to go through and add some people! I'm still figuring out how to use it (can you do more than one quest at once? Stuff like that...starting small with 1,000 steps today, lol), so bear with me, lol.

    There are different types of quests, for distance, steps, and soon sleep and weight training. You can have one of each type at the same time. And do battles at the same time also
