H&F Age Challenge

Load of crap. I suffer from chronic heart/lung disease(primary pulmonary hypertension& a right/left shunt) amongst other chronic illnesses. Yet this crappy app makes no allowance for this nor for the fact that being in my 70s and no longer work.

Usekess app. Keyboard does not apoearcso I cannot even get started. Waste if taxpayers money

Could not get the app to install on S5 phone or Tab S tablet let alone use it?

This app is a waste of public funding by the government!!! It is based on information freely available to anyone...without having to provide personal health info.

I asked for high notification but don't get any. Even when I log a small portion it tells me I can better. Less than small is nothing.

This app was made by a Queenslander smh

But I'm a vegetarian, my plate is full of vegetables and legumes so it shouldn't matter how big my servings are!

Seriously...who paid to develop this app? I hope not tax payers! Complete waste of time!

Piece of crap app can't calculate my H+F age because I am under 18. Waste ofyime and money. Our government is f*cked

This app is a waste of public funding by the government!!! It is based on information freely available to anyone...without having to provide personal health info.

Like the graphs.

Clunky inconsistent non intuitive interface.

I loved it I was 70 kilos I am now 60

This app is fine but even though I always had small portion sizes it kept telling me they shouldn't be staying the same but going down. Do they want me to skip meals or something?

Good

I have put in my stats and it told me I was 44 changed all the settings to see what I would have yo change in my life and still came to age 44 so then I changed stats to like 50 serves of veggies and execising for 18 hours a week and still came back at 44 year's old

Be careful you read their privacy policy and who they give your private information to before hitting the road block "I agree" button. There is no option to limit what information you allow them to access or hand over to 3rd party or not agree to. I object to not being able to restrict my private info being handed over before even being able to see what the app does. Another epic fail by the Newman overlord

I found the progress feedback patronising. It focused on the negative. If I didn't constantly improve my outcomes it didn't motivate me to get back on track but to feel disparouged. I think it would be better if it had a perdometer so you could get real data on how much you are moving and a comparison to a healthy but realistic target and if I had a day sitting in the car driving for work it didn't have a go at me.

It's well intentioned, and funny to some degree, but it rapidly becomes tedious. The health age is a good idea, but this app is a waste of time. Can't see it helping anyone.

Doesn't even ask if you're a smoker. I put in that I am overweight but eat healthy, dont drink and exercise 4-5 times a week and got a health age of 49 (I am 27). So I redid it and put in that I was skinny, drink alcohol every day, eat no fruit or vegies and never exercise. Voila, age of 27. Being overweight doesn't mean I have an unhealthy lifestyle and being thin doesn't mean you're the picture of health. App is pointless and inaccurate.

Not bad expected alot more out of it but we will see how it goes and get back to you guys in a couple if it d oise me any great and wonder full improvements thank you guys tania

Not happy with the installation process on my tablet. The App didn't recognise that the keyboard was needed to enter details. Finally got it entered through my Samsung Galaxy phone, but then couldn't shut the App down. Hope these bugs will get fixed, or I will be uninstalling it.

Not tailored for shift workers (again) we are not all day workers typically a public servant app

It is way too condescending, and navigation is very inconsistent and ambiguous. Poor testing comes to mind. I had to stop the app because it seemed to have got stuck during the weekly feedback part.

Didn't Gov review the app before spending thousands on bus and radio ads? I eat small meals no more than 400ml coz of illness, yet I get commented "you stayed the same all week - let's try and make it less OK?" After 9 consecutive days of Small meals You want me to eat nothing? No check on exercise completed, just "stop sitting". Standing only burns 200kj a day for 6 hrs worth... Only useful for office workers. MyFitnessPal is 10x more useful.

Very one sided, and like most of these government apps, it forgets that not everybody works in an office...doesn't really seem like it's been tested properly either..

Like the graphs.

AT school it won't let me in YouTube!

I am a shift worker. I worked 12 hours in front of a computer screen and hit the gym afterwards. I couldnt state anywhere I went to gym and since my sitting down time rose to 12 hours - this stupid app literally said shame!

This app helped me I lost 5kg in 3 weeks

This app really has to be one of the worst I've come across, I go to the gym everyday and count calories and yet it's still not good enough? I call bull****.

Can not use the keyboard

Love it

This add for me is not to good. Im a courier in the city so i do a lot of driving amd alot of running around. Bit hard to get a good understanding from this app but i can see the positive side of the app and can see how.it can work.

Has potential, however, as I worked through it, the app seemed to become less and less responsive. You tap the screen, the button moves but the app often doesn't respond. Very frustrating. So frustrating I almost gave up on it until I discovered t works best if you stab quickly at the buttons. I know it shouldn't make any difference on a touch screen but it did on my Galaxy S4.

I don't understand why it asks for sedentary hours but doesn't ask for any active time when I spend at least an hour at the gym most days plus other bits of intermittent activity. How can it help if it doesn't account for activity? Decided to uninstall.

After 2 days it's telling me that eating the recommended 2 fruit 5 veg a day isn't good enough, that I should have smaller than small portions and that my physical activity level is slipping because I spent 3 hours sitting while driving today, half an hour more than yesterday, because I got stuck in Brisbane traffic.

Oh, yes, it runs, but doesn't bring up the keypad to allow you to type in the initial user values. Which means that I couldn't calculate the fitness age. Uninstalled.

It is pretty limited and has alot of glitches. Not sure if this is a government made app or privately made but it needs alot of improving done. It also has the potential to send out alot of damaging messages to people which really alarms me
