Attain by Aetna for Positive User Reviews

✓ Very good AppI like this App more than I thought I would. The goals are realistic and keep me motivated. I already exercise daily so it has been relatively easy for me to meet the calorie goals but seeing my progress really helps on those days that I am tempted to be lazy. I also really like that it focuses on other areas of wellness: reducing stress, healthy eating, etc. My husband and I like this so much that we convinced our 2 daughters to participate. So far, they are enjoying it as well. I didn’t give it 5 stars because I feel that you should be earning more points as your weekly goal gets bigger and bigger (ie moving from 3 days to 5 and up) and I am concerned about what will happen once I hit a 7 day per week goal. There should be a way to earn a rest day or, the goal should max out at 6 days a week. I agree with other reviewers that a 7 day/week goal could end up being the downfall of motivation..Bluejay10Version: 1.5.1

✓ Ok if could set realistic daily goals and purchase watch through app.Started to use this app as was offered by my early insurance and incentive to get moving. I tried to order the watch and was never able to, would take me to start of app. After several attempts to order Apple Watch and not able to as app kept freezing, in order to get app to work had to click on have my own watch. Needless to say had to purchase a watch and cost of paying up front to get so to work wish I could have gotten through app and pay monthly. I called customer service to inform of what happened and they advised they would eventually offer purchase of watch to those who couldn’t purchase due to app issues, this was a year ago and still nothing. Liked the idea of paying monthly and use points to pay for watch monthly but that didn’t happen for me. Would still like to get watch through app as watch I purchased is not working well. Goals of hitting 750 daily points is somewhat attainable if you are very active. Even working in a shipping and receiving area I don’t reach my daily goal unless I track other work out from moving packages and walking around to deliver packages as nonstop for 30-45 mins. Goes from 3 times a week to 7 days to achieve daily goal. Watch is set to 600 as daily goal, most days I reach this but app has me at 750 and don’t reach this goal so much. Wish there was a way to change this to a more realistic goal..BellashearsVersion: 1.2.0

✓ High daily calorie burn starting outI just received this watch deal through my place of work. Only having it for one day, the calories needed to burn to reach your daily goal seems a bit high. Having primarily a sit down job, I know it will be quite the challenge to burn 520 calories in a day. But, this is for the whole day you just have to remember to wear it. But, isn’t that what it’s all about-challenge?😊 I love looking at the activities and earning those points as there will be times when those extra points are needed to go towards the monthly goal. Having the ability to roll forward some unused points is nice option to have. I am not sure I will be able to do that too often but having started off with 2 months of points allowance and earning the activity points will help with that. Or there are always those gift cards you can purchase with those earned points. I do think that it would be nice to be able to incorporate a food option with the app so that you can track your food intake. Food is a big component in a healthy lifestyle so to be able to see that all in one place would be a great addition..Feeling optimisticVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Attain: growth encouragedI’m gonna have to disagree with the other reviews for the most part. I’ve had the app for a little over half a year and been keeping up off and on, not as much as I should... but working on it! The activity goal starts at 3 days and moves up. My current daily goal is 600, I believe because that is what my watch is set to. If I do any exercise that day, including a chill 30 minute walk, I’m fairly likely to hit that goal. I am currently training for a half marathon and most days are easy to hit. Off days are more of a challenge, but I appreciate the goal of some movement, as I don’t take rest days to mean non-existent movement. That said, there are a couple bugs with points though they are typically uploaded later to compensate. They have daily information/goals to try which add some flavor to with mental, physical, social, and spiritual health. Was very impressed by these. I earned a $50 gift card to this point, and I think that is fair, considering I’m being paid for being healthy. Thanks for the motivation and half off Nike shoes, guys!!.Lsober11Version: 1.2.0

✓ Getting healthy has never been this easyI am so happy that Aetna offers this app for getting healthy. I am currently going through a divorce so everything has been chaotic for a while. I have found that the app and Apple Watch have me paying more attention to myself and my health. The “exercises” the app brings on a daily basis are actually teaching me and giving me great ideas to change different aspects of my life. It’s not all about just physical exercise but mental health and eating habits as well. I don’t think the daily goals are unrealistic. But when I do struggle to meet a daily goal, I just know that it’s going to make me feel that much better when I do. I highly recommend this app to anyone looking to feel better and improve their health..MadrigalgsVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Great Fitness AccountabilityI love the way this program is designed and how user friendly the app is. The daily challenges are fun and educational. It’s very easy to track your progress and keeps you accountable in staying active and healthy, with great motivation. However, the app does often log you out or crashes pretty frequently. The other thing I don’t like about the program is the way the weekly goals are determined. The way they determine your average goal for the next week based on the previous week does not make much sense, so it’s been a little hard to get any amount of points worth redeeming for prizes, especially after points are used to pay for the watch. I know that’s not the case for everyone though! It’s very different person to person. Overall I’m fairly pleased with the program..Jaerose94Version: 1.5.7

✓ A great app to keep you healthy!I started using Attain almost 2 years ago when it was suggested through Aetna, my health care provider. I’ve enjoyed the benefit of having an Apple Watch that I am able to pay for by being active. Any points above the ‘cost’ of the watch, you use to purchase gift cards so I’m basically being paid for being healthy. The Attain app sets daily goals based on your activity level and although challenging, they have been attainable. There are also activities or daily challenges that help you stay healthy and earn additional points. I have had very few questions for the support team but they have responded quickly and resolved. This is a great app if you need a little motivation to stay on track as it makes you want to close your ring and earn those points!!.Momma21andVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Great motivationI installed this app over a year ago and agree with some of the comments below about the seven day goals. Attain a listen to the comments and reduce the girls down to six days. Attain pays attention to the feedback they receive. My job has me in front of a computer all day. This app keeps me on track to move throughout the day. It is sometimes tough to reach the 12 hour standing goal but is great to keep me on track. They also offer challenges throughout different parts of the year so that you can obtain more points and help improve your Health. I feel in the last year that my overall physical stamina has drastically improved . I would be lost if this app goes away..2corcodVersion: 1.5.7

✓ A year later and LOVE it!!I have been using the app for a little over a year now it’s so great!! The goals are set for you and are totally attainable. The daily goal set for me is 450- 6 days a week and there has only been 1 week that I did not reach my goal. I have my personal daily goal set to 620 so the attain goal is not difficult at all. On rest days I usually only get to 350 so Attain motivates me to at least get a walk or yoga workout in to reach my goal. It’s great motivation to move your body!!! In my opinion everyone could benefit from this program. I ask all my friends if they have Aetna so I can recommend this program. I was skeptical before I signed up because of the reviews from people saying their goal was unattainable- bottom line, they aren’t moving their bodies enough. This is totally doable! I also like the challenges they have to earn more points- I have earned $100 in gift cards so far. I am in the best shape of my life at 35 after having 3 kids, thank you Apple and Aetna!!!!!!.AllieRCMVersion: 1.5.4

✓ Working out by someone else’s rulesOverall, this app does what it advertises it to do. Encourage people to become more active by providing a set goal and rewarding them for attaining that goal. The app provides the set goal of meeting the required caloric burn for a set period of time as well as some bonus points if you complete the daily challenge of the week by doing specific activities like breathing exercises, walking more than a certain amount of steps or miles a day. It has changed the way I approach how to be more active on a daily basis over the past year. The only two issues that I think about 1)the logout issue continues to persist forcing me to check daily to avoid being logged out. The developer is correct that if you are logged out, as long as you login again with 90 days, you can recover your activity but it still seems weird that this is needed. 2) the bulk of points are designed and are achieved by meeting the weekly caloric goal by exercising “x” amount of days which steadily increase until it asks you to achieve the goal about 6 days a week. So the app works if you are just trying to meet your calorie burn goal, create more active lifestyle and potentially get a free watch, but in terms of fitness, this app does little to help with actual weight loss..WSC3231Version: 1.5.8

✓ Bugged checkout experience[update] I was having a rough day and I apologize for how harsh I was. I was able to try again later that night and get my order in. Not sure what the issue was - same OS version. Nothing that I know of changed. I will update to four stars until I give the core app experience a try. I still think your initial UX would improve a lot with a different solution for selecting the watch. For example, I use my digital Apple Card for online purchases, but there’s no way for me to switch over to my wallet app and get my card info for your purchase form because this causes your web app flow to refresh. [original] Couldn’t get a new Apple Watch through the app because the forms would reload as you complete them - erasing all inputted data. Even before this complete show stopper, the checkout process would kick me back to the start for something as simple as jumping to a different app and then back. Seems like one of those half-baked solutions where the mobile app is taking you through a web app flow. I would’ve loved to just order my watch from the website (since this is just a web app form that you are seeing through the window of a mobile app), but you are forced to go through the mobile app purchase flow which has an awful user experience. If this tells me anything about how the app experience is going to go, I think I’ll just pay for the watch...ArithMatticVersion: 1.6.7

✓ Realistic goals for me!I am able to complete daily actions and earn points even while there are some weeks I haven’t met goals due to illness. I haven’t experienced the issues many have had, yes goals were increased but even then did not require me to work out every single day, but as long as I am semi-active most of the day (I.e. getting up from my desk and walking around on my break), I am still able to make my goals. I Love this app! I have had since January, “payments” for my watch started in February, I haven’t had to make a payment yet- and if I took the next month “off” I’d still have enough points to cover 2 months of payments. I love it! It’s motivating without feeling unreachable. Today I actually got a notification that they’ve adjusted calorie goals for members- mine actually went down, which is good for my points, as this new goal will be easy- but I am a little disappointed because my previous goal requires that I stay conscious of my movement and I had to put in at least a little effort every day to stay focused on it. Hopefully they’ll use current activity to gradually increase goals. Overall I’m very happy!.XanthipipeVersion: 1.3.0

✓ Okay AppI have been using this app for at least 2 years. I agree with many others that the 7 day a week activity expectation was too much and a definite motivation killer when you missed a day, especially early in the week and knew no matter what you did the rest of the week you weren’t getting your weekly points. It made it easy to be lazy! With the change to 6 days a week I am definitely happier and most of the time hit 7 anyway. There are still a few things I think they need to look at doing that would make the app better. I would like to see statistics as to how I compare to others in my age group. I would also like to see the app designed for a walking pace that would make adjustments for elevation differences. I find it frustrating to look and see my “trend” showing a 19 and 20 minute mile when I am constantly dealing with the mountains and hills in my area and not walking flat streets. Maybe I should be logging that cardio under hiking instead of an outdoor walk, I don’t know. All in all I think the app does what it’s designed to do which is to keep you looking for ways to improve your health (I personally detest the “breathing” and “flexibility” challenges so being forced to do those weeks activities to get my points becomes a matter of my personal pride and keeps me on task). I also enjoy the periodic reward of a gift card when you have enough points. It’s not a lot but every little bit helps, right?.5 Dog FamilyVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Good App & Hope it Gets Even BetterInvited to try app by insurance company and I’m happy I did. After trying other activity trackers and apps, I splurged on an Apple Watch and started Attain. After nearly a year, it’s still keeping me motivated and active. I consider the points and gift cards a bonus, so I can see why some reviewers may be frustrated if they’re trying to earn a watch. Requiring 7-day a week goals to be met is rough and I’m not sure it’s a healthy balance. At some point, life interferes and there should be a grace option to miss daily goals once or twice a week without losing all the weekly points. I’m hopeful that the app will continue to evolve with insights gained from constructive reviews..TampaTimeVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Love this app, it’s a great motivatorI have been using this app for more than a year now and I just love it. Does the app has issues sometimes? Yes. But they are resolved too. I recently had a major issue with the app where it stopped recording my active energy daily/ weekly goals. I reached out to the support and the team was super helpful they provided me with multiple ways to fix the problem but unfortunately it was a bug. But as soon as the update was released the agent I was communicating with reached out to me and asked to update the app and the issue got resolved and I got points for the previous goals hit too. I am looking forward to use the app more, hit the goals, participate in the challenges, and see what new things the app comes up with. Thank you Audra Reeves and Wendy for helping me with the issue!!.Vishal_14Version: 1.8.3

✓ The first time I’ve ever hit my work out goals!!I have an Apple Watch and was already checking on steps and trying to close things. To get paid, even if it’s a little, is so worth it to me because I’m ALREADY doing this. This app makes moving so easy!! I’ve had no real problems and have cashed out about $50 worth of gifts cards so far..... what’s not to like about that?? I also appreciate the apps tips and the fact that they go beyond “hey go run” but also include mental health and stress management, all necessary for healthy living. The only thing I’d change is including a tab that houses all the tips and tricks I’ve already “learned” for me to review if I want to or maybe challenge myself to do them again if it isn’t a habit yet..Mica676Version: 1.2.0

✓ This App is amazingThe Attain App is amazing with it’s constant encouragement to move and be active daily, with challenges and goals to meet, even ideals and suggestions to use my Apple Watch Apps for exercises, how to breathe properly, even educated and encourage you to get the proper rest, from bad eating habits with suggestions on how to make better choices, all to Help us with Healthy habits, I love it and need it, it’s easy to get out of control, at least it is for me. Oh plus they have Rewards, yes, gift cards!!! What a great incentive to reward me for reaching my goal for the day and completing challenges or just reading and trying their suggestions. What a great resource of healthy information. It really has helped me a lot. Thank you Attain.FlimdeVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Great design, some tech issuesThis app is really effective and engaging. It gently pushes you to do more and gets you excited about seeing your progress while keeping it interesting with a variety of ways to earn points. It has a nice friendly feel and is easy to use with the Apple Watch. My complaint is that it makes me log in constantly, like almost every day, and often has technical glitches that cause the Healthy Actions to not load. Happens about 5 times a week. If I forget to force a log in or don’t refresh the app, I don’t get notifications and I frequently miss the daily healthy actions points opportunities. Super frustrating, and would earn any other app a max of two stars, so it says a lot about how much I enjoy using it when it works. Still, great design and behavior change support means nothing if your stuff just doesn’t work—please fix this. Thanks!.ChiladylaVersion: 1.6.7

✓ I wanted an Apple WatchI wanted an Apple Watch because it worked better for the walking challenge we did at work plus I have an iPhone. But I didn’t want to pay $300 for a smart watch when I already had one. But I was getting ready to cave then a co-worker told me about the app and the deal with the watch. It has helped me get back into a healthier lifestyle even motivated me to sign back up for the gym and my kids are enjoying the walks we take so it’s helping us enjoy family time together too! And they are very understanding I emailed them a few days ago because I hurt my ankle and the walking actions were going to be impossible and they made accommodations for me to take the time I need to recover. I’m so happy my co-worker told me about the app and I even brought it up in one of our staff meetings because I knew a lot of my other co-workers were on the verge of purchasing their own watches as well.Joiie13Version: 1.5.7

✓ Motivation?Overall I am happy with the app and am happy to be able to “work off” the payment for an Apple Watch. But like others I have a problem with when you get to 7 days required for the weekly bonus. This isn’t like training for a marathon, the requirements aren’t so strenuous that you need a day of rest. The goals seem pretty much like push yourself a little more than usual and you’ll meet your goal. So I’m not going to complain about the 7 days as a whole. But, as a source of motivation, I think it’s bad. If you miss one day, that’s it. Your week is shot, and you will pretty much have to pay something for the watch that month. There is no margin of error and it is not possible to make up the 2000 points for that week by any other means other than paying the $2 for that missed weekly bonus. And again, the $2 isn’t the end of the world either. I just don’t think that is effective in motivation. To me, it feels more punitive if you don’t hit your goal. If it was maybe changed to a weekly average or something, you would have the motivation to work more to make up that difference. As of now, if you have a work trip or something and are unable to do much on Monday, then there is no motivation to do anything for the rest of that week, because you cannot make it up..LinuxdaemonVersion: 1.2.0
