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

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

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.

My experience with GoVida has been good in the sense that the app does motivate me to be more active . The GoVida team has been a pleasure to work with as well.
Pros
Its refreshing to talk to your co-workers about what they do for fitness and mental health. This app enables us to do just that without having to ask your colleagues to add you to their fitness tracking app which you use to share your activities with your friends and family. The app helps companies to promote the idea of work life harmony and that is a very important message for enterprises to share in this day and age if they want to be ahead of the curve.
Cons
The app itself has a lot of potential. The lack of a social feed where you could potentially post pictures, like, share, follow and share articles makes it less engaging than it could have been.

GoVida - a limitless potential for innovation in team well-being
Reviewed on 2021/02/06
Pros
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.
Cons
I would like to see future additions that enhance connectivity between users. This is probably already in development.

A great way to track your activity and earn rewards
Reviewed on 2020/10/09
Pros
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.
Cons
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!

Pros
I really like how intuitive the app is, and offers insights into activities, mind and wellbeing techniques, and also the challenges section.
Cons
I think there's always room for more Rewards options, sometimes in certain categories there doesn't seem to be that much of a selection. I think for a Rewards app it's really important to make sure that users are constantly engaged with Rewards and Challenges, as that will keep them interested and remaining active users.

As a user I found it easy to work and motivating
Reviewed on 2021/06/06
Pros
I mainly like how it connects with my existing Google Fit and Strava apps and brings together my fitness data plus the mental check-ins alongside goals; it's more motivating than just logging activity
Cons
Would like it to be easier to see a historical breakdown of activity by days rather than just a total number of steps for the month; being able to view data in this way also helps motivate me

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.
Pros
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...
Cons
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

As a user I've found this great to encourage me to be more fit and active and to push myself to get those extra steps to either hit a challenge or meet a target. Having visibility over the amount of movement is a great tool to encourage this. I think it is great the company has implemented this given the role is predominantly inactive. I have also enjoyed the team challenges set up, especially in lock down.
Pros
I have found this app great, and during lock down it really has encouraged me to be more fit and active. This has been great to compete in the team challenges we have done encouraging people to get involved and adding in some competitiveness! I love the app and frequently complete the daily challenge, 3 day challenge and marathon weekly challenge. The rewards are good which is good to work towards for a goal. The App is simple to use, and now that it can sync with Fitbit it is absolutely ideal as means i can head out for a walk and don't necessarily need to even have my phone with me.
Cons
Prior to the App being able to sync to Fitbit i found it quite restrictive and it wasn't a correct reflection of my movement and steps, as i often do not have my phone with me. Since this has been resolved it has been great. I have one instance where it would no longer work and sync, however the App team were quick to resolve and it was a painless process.

We have seen staff encouraged to check-in to many of the GoVida certified venues such as gyms, yoga studios and equestrian schools with those staff taking advantage of the membership discounts on offer and the in-app Mindfulness Diploma.
Since implementation we have noticed an increase in employee engagement in wellbeing initiatives across all grades largely driven by the GoVida leader boards and team competitions being run.
Pros
BDO LLP have worked closely with GoVida to implement the App and promote Health and Wellbeing within our North West Business Assurance department. We now have an active user based of over 100 employees with plans to roll out further to other business streams.
Feedback from employees has been positive on the motivation and redeemable rewards which supports the other wellbeing initiatives BDO promotes.
Cons
Over the 6 month implementation period we have seen additional features added into the app such as support for Apple and Fitbit devices which has driven adoption further.
Initially there was a focus on check-ins at venues but over the course of the COVID-19 UK lockdown additional meditation and virtual yoga session have been added and well received by the team.
Response from GoVida
Thanks for the positive feedback James. Best wishes to you and your team

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

I am using GoVida from last 6 months and now I am addicted to it. I was not fitness freak earlier. I got busy with my work and daily routines but this app motivated back me to healthy lifestyle. I can track my all activities here. . Competitions, Challenges keep me active all time along with that I get rewards for that too. Just Amazing !!! Grab rewards like for anything from exercise to Meditation. Healthy life + Happy Mind. Love this concept . Thoroughly recommended.

App is like saviour in this pandemic. Getting rewards for your physical fitness and Meditations is like double bonus. Really like rewards concepts and different mindfulness programs. All are in one place from taking care of all your activities to your mental health.
Cons
Nothing much but having different wearables connected along with different kinds of reward will make app more enjoyable.

GoVida has caused me to look at the little things to improve my overall physical and mental health. The team features have allowed me to push myself when doing my usual activities and has made me venture out my comfort zone and do more activities than I usually would.

The app is very informative and offers a lot of self-help/mindfulness tips. The app encourages you in a positive way to take even the most simple steps to becoming a healthier you.
Cons
Syncing to certain fitness apps can prove to be a little difficult in the beginning but once set up the app and concept is great.
