    I use the app. Not going to lie, it does keep me motivated to hit my weekly goals mainly because I don't like spending money I shouldn't have to. Plus I like being rewarded for doing the right things :wink:

    But as a word of warning, if you have a crappy phone (i.e.Galaxy S2 or S3), totally would not recommend using the app. The gps for checking in and out at the gym on those two are horrific!! :explode:

    Is the problem with the Android version of the app, or is it really with a specific phone?

    @mnecka - what size of rewards have you gotten? I feel like the not wanting to spend money would also be the motivator for me as well

    I have used Pact since February. Have withdrawn over $80. I commit to a high # of activities each week: 7 days food logging, 6 days workouts, 30 fruits & veggies. Most weeks its $4-5. Last week was $3.64.

    Its a big motivator. I do NOT want to pay - and I never have!

    Ps-for workouts you get credit for taking a 30+ minute GPS/app tracked walk, run, etc. Or if you have a Fitbit, it syncs and you get credit for a 10,000+ step day.

    I have used it for the last 1.5-2 months and it definitely does motivate me! The rewards are nothing big (I only do the workout tracking) especially compared to the amount that I would have to pay out for missing a workout ($5 per workout). I like how you can adjust your goal for each week, too. It definitely motivates me to get my workouts in! Try it for a week!
