They've really put the time in when creating this app! They seem to have been able to use scientific research in such a fun and encouraging way that you don't feel overwhelmed or bombarded with information. I don't see myself losing interest in this app. Partly, and I know this sounds weird, because it's a very supportive and non-judgmental (yes, I've felt judged by other apps lol). I also like the tranquil music always playing in the background and the characters senses of humor 😁
"Request was aborted by timeout" toast always appears on top of login screen, but you are able to log in anyway. (It doesn't look like most users realize it's dismissable by clicking outside of the toast, so they think they can't log in at all.)
Cannot create an account, or login with my existing. Unexpected error every time. Uninstalled and reinstalled, cleared cache, tried everything that has ever worked with other apps. Needs a fix somewhere along the lines. Note 10.
awful. slow to load, and have to go thru upmc 1st. I've tracked for 8 days and it wants me to upload baseline. cannot find a record of my time spent. why would app nit automatically do this. annoying bots. i just want to track my activity 1x max 2x a day and skip all the goofy stuff. plus im already using an app to track my food and activity, so this is crazy overkill. not sure how this relates to newest health promotion. follow up. had a great follow up call w Val from the team. more to come!
App is a great tool. Ive been using it for the managing stress classes and its well thought out and lets you tackle at your own pace. The only thing I dont like is that I have to sign in via a web browser everytime.
I also had an issue with my accout being locked with the initial opening. I attempted to call a help desk and no one knew what I was talking about, and could not assist. This took up way too much of my time to even try and open it. It should be automatically linked with MyHealth.
So far app is good if you could sync a fitness device to the app it would be a very good app. I would love to see it happen soon. A true fitness app should want as all the info that a tracking device can offer.
Odyssey is a great tool! I used it to stop smoking. It took about 3 months. The check-ins really made the difference. Now I am using it to get more active and drop some pound's. Use Odyssey to achieve your goals, you'll be glad you did.
I've had it for 2 days . Yesterday and this morning worked fine. Can't get back in tonight. Keeps saying it's timed out and my UPMC username or password is wrong but I can get on UPMC with them so they're right ones. So frustrated
Edited review: After getting all of the kinks out of logging in I really like this app. I'm just starting out, and it really keeps me focused on my ultimate goal, being healthy.
Im loving this app so far. Great Graphics, user friendly. I had a paid subscription to a healthy habit app that I can easily replace. I am actually looking forward to using this app
It keeps saying my step tracker reads 0. I can't find anywhere in the app to link my fitness trackers with this app. Other than that, this looks good.
Company's privacy policy is not the issue, it is Google play medium which is tracking all information including what should be private information. By loading this information via a Google play app you are allowing them to 3rd party intercept all information passing between patients and Odyssey. Have your data security team do some looking into just what Google is collecting from your app.
I have had it downloaded since yesterday (12/6/19) and it won't let me create an account. Keeps saying unexpected errors. How am I spose to use this and it won't let me?!
Not very impressed. It's quite a silly app, looks like it's designed for an 8th grader. I'll give it a chance through.
This app has kept me on track losing weight and counting calories you can not count on this app but the reminders and learning has been great
I wish I could review the app, but I can't even get it to log in. It's a shame my incentive dollars are tied to something that is not usable.
this app won't even give me the option to download it, I'm clicking download and nothing is happening. I've even re-started my phone
So far I have been unable to log into the app. Every time I try it keeps telling me there is an unexpected error.
Good app but it does act up. Could not always access it. Been out since last week and still can't get in.
Decent content but can't log in. Error: "An unexpected error occurred, please try again later."
just downloaded it, tried to log in for the very first time, and somehow my account is locked already. guess i wont be trying this app!
this program is mind numbingly boring...and you have to log in every time...and it wants you to do it 4 times a day....i quit at day 2..
I can't even create an account because an unexpected error occurs Everytime I try.
I am enjoying the learning and practical applications of what I've learned. Very helpful!
App locks up frequently. You get signed out frequently and have to log back in.
The app froze halfway through set-up. TWICE! Guess I won't be using this app either.
Poorly written app that only works 50% of time. Seems to have been designed for teens. App is a joke. Will uninstall as soon as I meet my employer requirements. The people who wrote this app have no clue about their intended audience.
The conversation is too long in the chat. Overall I recommend it.
Could be great... This app seemed fantastic once I was able to log in! Going forward I had repeated issues logging in and received the same error message others reported. I would have continued to use this program otherwise, but have uninstalled on day 3 out of frustration. It would also be helpful to have a calorie counter built in for convenience.
