GoVida Reviews: 5.0/5 — Highly Rated

A very good app which encourages you to be active due to the incentives and rewards given through the app when you otherwise might not have been, especially working in an office job

Currently, no feature which encourages you to try different activities; therefore only beneficial if you already do fitness/well-being activities

Helps to ensure you stay active

Really useful to help me stay active most days. Downloaded as my workplace signed up, bringing my steps up from 4k average to 10k for the year. Useful as it encourages healthy competition and bonding through challenges. Rewards are also great and there are a wide range of choices

The steps dont sync daily as you go and you need to open the app to sync. this can sometimes be slow.

see above

The platform has some good challenges and rewards. It encourages me to be a little more active, getting off a stop earlier when commuting or having a lunchtime walk to make sure my goals are achieved. It's easy to use and enrol on challenges, and the leadboard functionality (with teams) is also a great feature.

I have had some connection issues with Fitbit and the App not syncing. When flagged, the team resolved really quickly.

This helps the team have some collaboration and an element of competition, as well as assisting from a Wellbeing point of view, encouraging a little more activity in the workday.

The support the GoVida team provided us was excellent. This was our first time working with a wellness provider and they helped us with each step to make the initiative a great success. GoVida team listened to our needs and helped us create exciting personalized challenges that maximized engagement with our team. When the app went live, the customer support offered was great! They quickly resolved and responded to any queries our team needed answering. Engagement levels were pretty high for our company because of the advice GoVida gave us in marketing the initiative before it went live. These engagement levels remained high throughout the challenges. Our colleagues' feedback was fantastic, and the app helped many of our team. The mindness suite got a lot of mentions during our feedback questionnaire, and people have continued using similar material to date. The app itself is easy to navigate and looks great. It synced up with all the leading fitness apps such as GoogleFit, Strava, Garmin etc. The biggest compliment is that we will be teaming up with GoVida again because our colleagues loved the app, which positively helped many people.

Nothing of note; everything was super positive for us.

Helping us create healthy habits for our employees. Building positive working relationships as there are group challenges Improving mental health with material readily available to help our employees.

The App encourages you to be active and lead a healthy and lifestyle

I don't like that you have to go into the app to update your steps. It would be nice if this was automatic.

It helps me keep active and be mindful of my lifestyle

Using Govida keeps me motivated and engaged to all the rewards I can claim

I wish the app was compatible with Samsung smartwatches

Not business benefits but personal benefits, like using the health app and listening to the podcasts , especially the audios on Menopause

I really have enjoyed the team challenges, enjoying the competitive fun with team mates, along with a little cultural enlightenment won the way! Daily goal setting and banner rewards are a really nice pay in the back.

I have only really had a positive experience since using the app. So no dislikes to date.

I am motivated to complete my steps goal and have tried to incorporate these extra steps into my sedentary periods e.g. when sat for prolonged periods - try to make a chance and have a quick walk.

Variety of content and that it is user friendly

As it's still in development there are a few elements that can't be customised in challenges

Encouraging team involvement and awareness of holistic wellness

We really enjoyed the well rounded holistic approach to health that GoVida provides. We are also extremely impressed with the customer centered approach to support. The GoVida team is always available for both technical support and recommending new ideas for us to implement. In my role I work with many providers of various solfware solutions and GoVida rises to the top.

Nothing to report here, we have been absoutely impressed with GoVida product and services.

We were looking for one platform that would allow us to engage employees in wellness intiatives, build up comminity and provide a wide range of wellness related resources. We have ran walking challenges before, but have heard from our staff that they would like to include cycling or gym check-ins or other classes and we were able to find all these options with GoVida.

The step counter has got my team up and moving as has the personalised step challenge. The mind section is great for relaxation with the meditation being the most used

The check in function could be more prominent and at the end of the meditations sessions you get a ping alert which wakes you up from the relaxed state!

Making the team realise that moving around in the day is vital for mental health and wellbeing and will make for a more productive team. It is a topic of conversation amongst team members and has introduced some friendly competition. A high proportion of the team are engaged with the App and clearly benefiting from the offering

GoVida has a number of challenges that has really helped me increase my step count and also aided my understanding of mindfulness subjects.

Nothing. Can't see any negatives about the app.

Increasing daily movement. The various challenges help keep you moving and motivated.

Earning points for discounts and helping raise money towards charity. I enjoy the challenges too that we have within our teams!

Sometimes I forget to check in when I am doing a walk or go to the gym etc. maybe a pop up notification throughout the day to remind you to check in might help? But probably should have the option to turn it off as it could annoy some people.

Helping people who don't usually do many steps get moving a lot more!

The tracking of my activities and the associated challenges are great for motivating me to keep exercising which really helps with my wellbeing.

So far I have not encountered any downsides

motivating myself to exercise. the challenges are a great way to give me that motivation and that's a big benefit to me.

It's very user friendly and the team in the background are always helpful and quick to resolve and issues or queries

It's a bit hard to keep the team engaged by that's more our issue than Govida's

Employee engagement is pretty good and most people seem to use the app daily

GoVida is an easy to use App. We like the fun activity challenges the best. With these there is the ability to create different teams amongst your staff, as well as view a team's and an individual's progress on the leaderboards in real-time. We are a large GP practice in Manchester, UK and our staff (40+ people) have really taken to the App. It's a fun exercise and has been great for team-building, with resultant improvements in staff energy, resilience levels and morale. Activity levels have been evidenced to have increased and our staff have greatly benefitted from the Mind section on the App that has various meditation exercises and relaxation techniques within it, in what has proven to be a very stressful year for frontline NHS staff. The App is constantly being developed, with new features and rewards appearing on a regular basis. The support team are very helpful and responsive to any queries or feedback. The App is appears well priced and a good investment, due to the resultant benefits in terms of increased productivity, reduced stress levels / sick days.

At first not all wearable devices were supported. However, as mentioned above, the App is constantly being developed and improved; this has led to improvements here with Apple Health, Fitbit , Strava and Garmin devices now all connectable, which is great as all our staff members can now track their activities and get involved.

The App has helped create a way of getting our staff to engage in an acitivity together that is fun, with an element of friendly competition (optional) with tangible rewards at the end (eg vouchers, discounts, extra days holiday, etc), all whilst improving their physical and mental health and resilience along the way. Our staff have felt valued that we as their employer have invested in their wellbeing. All in all this has boosted staff morale, created a positive energy and fun talking points in the staff room.

GoVida is great at engaging people in not only the fitness aspect of wellbeing but also the mental health aspect

I can find nothing negative to say about Govida. It is a fantastic app.

As a business based in an office, we became increasingly aware that people were becoming increasingly sedentary. The app encourages movement

We can earn points after moving our body and exercising our mind. After this we can redeem our rewards, this could happen in a competition with our peers as well.

there is an error coming up in the application

I am exercising more, being more cautious about my health. I think it is fun to compete against my peers, although sometimes it is hard to keep up with them. I like the rewards, however those do not motivate me much.
