BetterYou Pros and Cons

It shows you exactly where you excel, and where you are lacking.

It automatically track most of the goals, so no need to remind yourself to get on the app and log actions yourself.

The habit score is a great way to know where you are, and if you have a great score for two weeks straight, you know it's time to raise your goals a little! Which makes the whole concept tangible and observable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would loved for some of the goals to include more practical progress logging methods.

For calling friends and family: I would loved if it could track other social media apps as many people use other apps beside just normal phone calls.

For Reading: I wish I could've used another method for logging goals as I only read physical books and usually at home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is the first app that just doesn't focus on your physical fitness but your mental fitness as well. I love going to see how I am doing for the week as far as reading, socializing, sleep, and more.

Some of the apps are integrated making it easy to use and to keep you coming back to check in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I wish is my data about reading and other apps was an automatic thing (rather than a screenshot) but I understand the logistics of having apps talk to each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Better You accurately syncs with my devices. It hold me accountable to reach goals I have set for myself. It is also fun to challenge friends/coworkers and try to beat them to completing the goal. Who doesn't like a little friendly competition. I like that I can also manually enter progress towards my goals as I live in a rural area and sometimes going to a place for check in to a goal is not always feasible.

Downside is that on some of the goals you have to visit a place, I live in a rural area thus limiting my options and opportunities to go to places. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the way students can do Buddy Challenges and BetterBot Challenges as that really gets them motivated to beat each other and reach their goals first (I am competitive too and that always gets me to follow through with accomplishing my goals!) Of course, getting $5 gift cards also motivates the students to sign up and engage in the app. I found the data dashboard useful and meeting with my rep to see the engagement was valuable too. It was really easy to implement on our campus and our rep was very responsive to our questions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were more challenges allowed in the app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BetterYou has been great in encouraging me to keep up healthy habits. I find that it makes me more accountable. It's user friendly. Easy to connect to the Apple health app to track steps and meditation. I've had a little trouble with taking pictures of the screen time in settings to record fitness sessions. It didn't always record. But tech support was very responsive to the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not found any down side to using the app. I've been using it for months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BetterYou makes it easy to focus on well-being. This app runs in the background of your phone and incentivizes participation, keeping you engaged and working toward building healthy habits. You can set personal wellness goals, challenge your buddies, and be rewarded with actual gift cards that can be used at hundreds of different businesses. The customer support has also been top-notch!

The only perceivable downside of BetterYou is the privacy concerns, however, the company complies with top privacy regulations and cannot share user data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that it holds me accountable. I'd like that you can challenge each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that you have to screenshot your activity to count toward your social media goal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BetterYou has an extreme ease of use. Participants simply establish their goals and the app works in the background and does the rest. Adopting BetterYou was easy to implement and integrated naturally with the rest of our ecosystem. Our students and staff constantly talked about how often they use BetterYou and how features like the nudges keep them motivated. The customer support team is fantastic and communicates regularly with us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing that I dislike about BetterYou. Any features that I would like to see are often included in the road map. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about BetterYou is that you are able to share goals and complete with friends. With the little l companion, I can accomplish what I set. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I don't like is gett notification in the app to often. It would be great for the notification to be invisible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I can select goals that speak to my personal goals. I think it's awesome to see that there is a variaty of options for people to choose from. I also appreicate that it's become more verisatile for those who may not have the capabilities to autiomatically track their progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
