My company introduced this app around the time the Covid lockdown began. It was really helpful in making me feel connected with my teammates 'cos I checked them out on the leaderboard! And also, as moving out wasn't advised, it at least made sure I get some steps in or do Yoga to stay active...

It shows how I fare with respect to my teammates! I feel motivated and get going...just to see my rank rising. Also it has mind sessions that help me unwind after a full day at work or when I get my day started. I got a few Yoga sessions free & also got a discount on an e-learning course because of my activity. So far so good.

I feel the variety in the number of challenges would be cool. Right now there are only 4 types of challenges.

My overall experience with GoVida is excellent. I don’t think I have ever received such efficient and effective customer service in my entire life as I have with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] @ GoVida! Excellent app, so much future potential too; I am looking forward to keeping this as part of my life / habits going forward. My health has already improved, as well as my motivation. It is also a great way to celebrate what was already being done before joining. I would highly recommend it to any business, as well as suggest for there to be a “personal” version for families and friends, as I believe it will do wonders for the mind and body.

The interface and dashboard is easy to use, well considered and generally intuitive. The integration of fitness trackers such as Apple Health and Fitbit are very helpful and offer excellent ways to combine own personal habits with a celebratory tool / work incentive. Having leaderboards for both steps and points is great; it allows for healthy competition as well as teamwork for the company-wide challenges. Personally, having this app / incentive scheme has really driven me to do just that little bit more when it comes to my health and well-being. My day now starts with “checking in” with myself and how I feel, followed by listening to a couple “mind” audios to help refocus my thoughts. Then I focus on getting my steps in wherever I can; walking rather than bus, doing cardio rather than skipping it, then seeing if a can push to be #1 on the leaderboard for the day! Over just the short time frame that I have had GoVida, I have already seen improvements in my recovery time and heart rate, just by doing the extra cardio. Personally, I am a gym / strength trainer, so having points also for my training sessions at the gyms is particularly useful, especially as my gym was already verified within the app before I started. Overall, this has added an excellent reward system to my personal life; as well as a healthy way to build rapport with my team.

I had a couple of issues with my steps being not counted as I was using too many trackers at once (I bought a Fitbit, Fitbit and Apple do not currently work together/ integrate as companies, only through 3rd party apps). This was resolved very quickly by [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] at GoVida, who was able to suggest and support me thorough my confusion. It would be interesting to see if there would be a way to add other data / stats into this app. I have been using MyFitnessPal for tracking food / nutrition, as well as weight and body fat. This may be too invasive to share for some people, especially being a work app, but it may be useful for this to be added to personal dashboards. Having a chat option would be funny / a stream / feed where people could chat, “heckle” or add pics. Having more “gym” / “strength trainer” incentives would be much appreciated. 4 weeks to get one set of points for gym is rather long!

The feature that gives you points when achieving goals and that is very inspiring and motivating

The difficulty to coordinate with the apps that provide the input of the information of workouts, sleep... couldn't connect with Zepp, my smartwatch activity app

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.

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.

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.

The most impactful feature of GoVida is its real-time Activity data availability. The naming convention used in this product is self-descriptiveand that makes this very easy to use. Regarding Onboarding of new Employer/Organization is totally handled by the Admin team. The admin team works proactively on this.

Currently, GoVida does not support data sync with the Health Connect. The development team is working on support for the Health Connect. Soon this functionality will be available for the users.

My overall experience has been very good. I've been able to build up a good amount of points which has then rewarded me with days off work/retail vouchers.

The app is very simple and easy to navigate your way around, with it taking no longer than 30 seconds to log into and accept the challenges.

Sometimes the screens take a while to refresh/load up.

Go Vida is an excellent addition to our wellbeing program. It allows employees to personalise their wellbeing journey and get rewarded along the way. The team challenges are great addition that encourages collaboration across teams whilst promoting wellbeing.

I like that it tracks a variety of wellbeing activities which makes it an inclusive app for all our employees.

Nothing it's great - the app can be tailored to your business needs through rewards available, challenges etc.

Really positive, the team at GoVida are great and a pleasure to work with

1. The team and support at GoVida are great, there are friendly, knowledgeable and prompt at getting back to you2. App tackles well-being from lots of different angles 3. Integrates with third party trackers4. Automated vouchers is a good new feature which takes the admin away5. Help setting up challenges

1. Admin portal is not very user friendly - quite manual to set up teams / and reports you can run can be quite basic2. More functionality and flexibility with types of challenges would be good to have somethingn new rather than steps and points3. Sometimes issues re funds and the billing and making sure we have enough float

GoVida is a well built app, with a robust backend that seems almost limitless. The app loads and operates fast, and it is easy to manage my daily well-being activities. I like that the dashboard is an all access point to my activities, challenges and rewards so I can easily track my progress without effort. If I listen to a meditation GoVida gives me credit, if I do a challenge GoVida keeps tally, if I have a workout GoVida logs it. I'm happy to see a well-being platform that entices all users to connect with their community and live a better life at their own pace and skill level.

I would like to see future additions that enhance connectivity between users. This is probably already in development.

The app encourages you to be active and offers live video classes. I like the way that being active and living a healthy lifestyle helps to build up points through the app that can be exchanged for rewards.

As with all new apps, there were one or two teething problems, but overall I love the app and don't have anything negative to say about it!

I have been using the Govida app for the last 3 years and highly value our company having introduced the app. I enjoy all the challenges and the extra podcasts for personal health and well-being, like the tips on Menopause. As a team, it keeps us motivated and competitive and doesn't make exercising feel like a chore, when it should be fun and enjoyable. My friends are jealous and envious that our company provides such a fantastic benefit to its employees.

The Govida app is very easy to use and to be intergrated by the company. The rewards that I have received, from an extra day's holiday per year and over £70 worth of vouchers keeps me motivated and looking forward to exercising...

I wish that Govida was compatible with Samsung smart watches as I had to purchase a Fitbit to link to my Samsung android smart phone

It is a good tool to use to get you moving and I do like it, looking forward to see how it develops and keep using it

I like that I can see how many steps I have done against my work colleagues which pushes me to challenge myself to get outside and do more! I have taken part in a couple of challenges which are fun and of course you want to be on the team that wins every time. There is a good section of of rewards and I have received a few gift vouchers and will many sure I keep checking for any new rewards as they change

It is fairly straight forward, so nothing that I don't like

Brilliant, the fact it covers all wellbeing from exercise to mental health . This isn’t an option with any other platform we researched

I loved how easy it was to onboard the whole company and the ease of use means it’s used by virtually everyone in the business daily

Nothing at all , everything is pretty self explanatory

Very positive, and an easy way to get teams to take up wellness in a fun way without preaching and making the experience negative. The app is a breeze to use, even for someone like myself who isn't that tech savvy!

The app is very easy to use, understand and helps awareness of deficiences in certain areas of wellbeing. I really like the challenges and it made me want to improve on each target daily. The game-based approach makes it fun to start becoming healthier and fitter in the workplace, I always check out the leaderboard atleast once a day to see where I am on steps! I also liked the idea of rewards for completing mindfulness tasks, physical challenges etc.

I didn't find anything I disliked about GoVida.

It's a great way to connect colleagues via leader board

It is very easy to use and user-friendly. Encourages you to take reasonable challenges which are redeemable for great rewards when completed, so it's really easy to improve fitness levels. The new "mind" section is also great for meditation even for beginners.

There isn't anything I don't like. Experienced teasing problems with android phones to start with, but this has been resolved.

When GoVida was pitched to me I was unsure about it. It came at a time when I was thinking about ways of engaging with our colleagues for wellbeing and mindfulness so we thought why not try it. I have to say that the level of engagement has been incredible from all of the colleagues who have downloaded and used the app. Feedback is positive and that helps me justify the investment. The interaction with GoVida is always 100% first rate and they never fail to deliver on promises. Superb app superb people to deal with and all of that leads to superbly happy colleagues.

easy to use easy to download and easy to administer

I cant find anything that I don't like about the app

Very Good

I like that it helps me stay active and i receive points when doing so

I dont like that you have to go into the app to update it. I would prefer that it did it automatically

A great app. That I can’t image not having. I basically get rewards for just my normal day active walking around.

It helps me record how active I am with my steps. Great to Keep me fit. The mind section is one of my favourites especially the improve sleep is great for me. I love all the rewards.

Nothing. I love it. The app is great.

Very positive experience on the whole. Would recommend to friends in a heartbeat.

The app is easy to use and pretty intuitive. GoVida is that gentle push I need to get me out for a run or to the gym. The meditations they offer are great too

I was using the app at the start when there were a few teething problems. These have by and large been erased now though.

Good app to have both physical and mental fitness.

GoVida motivates us to stay fit, have daily exercise. Additional features like meditation tracks, challenges etc. are also good. The app also helps me to use fitbit watch along with google fit.

Sometimes we need to refresh the home screen to reflect latest steps count.

The team tracking is a nice one to see..

It would be great if the company can add some challenges

On the days I was feeling less motivated to excercise or meditate it kept me motivated to do it...then I felt better for it, especially my stress levels by the end of the day!

The extra challenges, which could earn you additional rewards. The fact that there was included as well as physical exercise. I like to meditate and know it helps me, so it was nice that this was recognised along with the benefits of the physical exercise.

Id like more meditation choices, but they seem to be adding to them regularly now.

I have benefited from purchasing a mental health course on Centre of Excellence and helped gain money for charity!

I like the option to gain points by just walking around, completing physical challenges and mental health challenges. It has the option to check in at venues and if your venue is not there, GoVida will add them to support you. I think its a good incentive to also have the charity pot that you raise money for!

I think there could be much more use including within the app including more of a variety of rewards, but i know that will come in time as they are updating and implementing new things frequently

Easy to use and useful prompts

Handy information on various aspects and useful recording. Like having my own little guru in my pocket

Can’t think of anything, it’s great thanks

Seeing how your colleagues are doing , healthy competition and rewarded for moving more

Having to have phone with me all the time but bought a Fitbit and now syncs fine .
