Habitify Challenge: Streamlined Challenge Host, Improved Push Notification
Alongside our app updates, we have rolled out a significant upgrade to the Community Challenge system. We’ve modernized the look of the Lobby and completely rebuilt the "Create a Challenge" flow to make hosting easier than ever.
Here is what’s new:
🛠️ For Hosts: A Smarter Rule Builder
We have simplified the setup process so you can launch your challenge faster and with fewer errors.
Smart Activity Selection: We’ve improved how you define the challenge goal. Instead of searching through a long list of activities for each logging method, you now start by choosing the Logging Methods you want to allow (e.g., Manual, Apple Health, Fitbit, or Strava). Habitify will then automatically filter and display the list of activities that are eligible for the methods you selected.
Smart Duration: No more calendar math. When you select a duration (e.g., "30 Days"), Habitify instantly calculates and displays the exact End Date for you.
Simplified Skips: We’ve removed the confusing labels like "No More Than." Now, you simply set an exact number of allowed skips. It’s clearer for you to set, and clearer for your members to understand.
⚡ Log Progress Inside the Challenge
We have removed the friction of switching tabs to update your score. You no longer need to leave the Challenge screen to record your data. You can now log your progress directly within the Challenge interface.
Update your stats and watch your rank shift instantly, all without ever switching back to the Journal view.
🎨 Visual Polish & Experience
Modern Challenge Lobby: We’ve refreshed the design of the Lobby inside each challenge. Whether you are the host managing the group or a member checking updates, the internal dashboard now offers a cleaner, more seamless experience.
More Personalized Notifications: You can now see who is interacting with you at a glance. We’ve added User Avatars to push notifications, so whether it’s a comment or a leaderboard update, you’ll know exactly who it is instantly.
