I have been a member & app user of Fitocracy for about 4 months. I'm not entirely sure.
Fitocracy is a mix between a social networking, fitness diary, and game website. Track your workouts, earn points and level up and get feedback from other people. I think it is a great idea but the website needs a lot of work.
You cannot fix workouts after a week.
The app and the website aren't very user friendly.
You cannot delete your account. You have to ask a moderator to send a message to the developer on a weekly basis for your account to be deleted.
The website ONLY works on Chrome. My laptop is too old to work with Chrome. I've tried. This isn't a major gripe because I have other computers I can use, but it is inconvenient.
I have one workout that doubled itself - because the app wasn't functioning properly. I tried to immediatly delete the activity but the app fritzed out on me.
I have a 10 mile hike that materialized out of nowhere. Unless, of course, it was another user error because the app is difficult to use.
I have a 20 mile hike which I know is user error and I supposedly fixed that immediately.
I really don't think the points adjusted after I fixed the workout. So I feel like I am being unintentionally dishonest.
The app and the website should not be that difficult to use.
A good idea. A bad product.
Do you know of a similar website and app that does it better? Let me know!
