MOTOACTV for Android
Absolutely horrible software, I've fought with it for hours still isn't working correctly. Avoid this crap. Did I mention I freaking hate it? Wtf? Sell me something but have zero software support for it? Well done moto...
I'm a fat out of shape trucker its useless to me. Please take it off my phone and put it in the market so the healthy people can download it. How about a cupcake app? Pizza and beer maybe?
Motorola I want to thank you for, keeping this app running still, created a new Moto cast I'd work perfectly, please keeps this running strong, Got my new motoactv an it's amazing device light years still ahead of watches today, an all you dumb asses out there this app is still running perfect, 5/5 stars!!!
If Verizon and moto after going to force this app to sit on the office then please give me the product with phone for free. Other wise, give us the option to uninstall. Most of us will never use it, even off it is great. I don't want it and don't need it. Its a waste of space on my piece.
I've had the MotoActv for about 2 years now and its been a GREAT device! The main issue since I bought it is the lack of support/updates for it. I still use mine for every run. I just wish Motorola still cared to keep updating it to give everyone a better experience.
Bought the MotoActv today and will be returning it tomorrow. The $250 device simply doesn't do anything that my $3.99 phone app can't do. Took a total of 22 minutes to lock on gps, then lost signal 3 blocks later- failed to record the trip at all! The headphones are awful and Motocast requires a usb to transfer music to the device- FAIL! The app is okay, but the whole MotoActive system is just unimpressive.
The app works perfect, but if I get out of blue tooth range and get back in it doesn't reconnect. Instead it disconnects, and I am forced to go through the pairing process all over again.
Just started using motoactv, and I can see one big issue on the apl for me will be lack of golf workout data which doesn't sync. Also can't seem to figure why they wouldn't have any type of auto sync setting..? Must manually sync all of your workout data. This device and service has huge potential. Hope they sink more into development.
Please give us access to gmail via a motoactv app! The ability to get email notifications with subject header and a few lines of body text would be invaluable. It would also allow the watch to be used for business application.
Never works, never syncs, never anything! The developers have given up on this app. They do not care if it works or not! Would highly suggest "A GARMIN WATCH" or "SUUNTO"
Had this since 2012 and used it in Jan 2015. Now I'm getting a sync error on the phone app (I have a Droid RAZR). Ridiculous! Can you at least make sure that your own devices remain compatible, Motorola? Fix, please!
Had my motoactv for years now and it's still going strong. I did not participate in the class action lawsuit because it did not feel right. Motorola, please support this device/app/website again! It's still better than any newer smartwatch out there! I've literally tracked thousands of miles on this device.
This used to be a somewhat decent app but now I can't even synchronize my account. Did Moto abandon the app and platform?
The only hardware this watch lacks is vibration motor! Otherwise if this app gets the support it deserves and some new features it will easily leave behind the current gen ot smartwatches. I don't want GoogleNow on my watch, I want it to easily reconnect with my phone, display all my notifications, be able to browse my phone, initiate sending files and making calls and stuff like that. It has so much potential, it's time someone put it to good use!
No longer able to log in through the device or app (history still accessible through browser, but cannot use device). 2 years of data locked up, cannot track/save/sync new data. Customer service calls dropped.
This app works with RAZR HD and RAZR Maxx HD. You must install software from Motoactv to your computer first and give the Motoactv program the ability to go through your firewall to get to the internet. Once this is done you should be ready to pair your phone and Motoactv. Finally figured it out and it works perfectly!
This app virtually never syncs with the portal or with my device. It always has some excuse for not being able to connect with the server. Doesn't properly connect to allow full the full phone functionality on the Motoactv. Basically, it's useless.
Would give it zero stars if I could. What is the point of forcing people to keep an app they don't want or use?
In dire need of an update for Android 4.3. Both the app and the device firmware. Like the functionality but lots of room for improvement. One complaint: I can't answer calls, or call back directly from the device. Also, sometimes I get sync errors.
I am not sure how this device gets anything below 5 stars. Device is amazing. Music (including FM antenna), GPS(extremely accurate), personal training features and notifications from phone all in one device. I use this for running, cycling and all other forms of exercise. Works better as a bike computer then comparable cycling computers at half the cost, not to mention it does everything else. Race myself and use map to follow. Double tap for current stats, mp3 player works great. Add a bluetooth headset and you forget you brought a player. Get real people. This is the best fitness device out there minus the mktg. efforts of others.
App cannot sync without having to log off and on every single time. This is extremely annoying. Would also like to be able to export the GPS data into Google earth. Its too bad we can't port Google mytracks onto the motoactv. Also needs a Car GPS tracking function.
Have downloaded the app thought it would be easier then connecting to the computer to sync. But go figure they it wouldn't allow me to connect. I have had the watch for over a year and love it but I just want this app to work.
But now it is just junk. GPS won't connect app won't log in! What am I supposed to do with it now? EDIT: IT SEEMS MOTOROLA FIXED THE ISSUE AND NOW THEY PAIR AGAIN! WHAT A RELIEF! NOW IF THEY WOULD BUILD A 2.0 VERSION I WOULD UPGRADE TO A NEW MODEL.
Shame on verizon for forcing this crap on to our phones. It updates all the time, and now it can read our sms and track location. Obviously, this is used for marketing purposes, not because they expect anybody to use this junk. Ignore the Motorola hacks posting positive comments
I know they don't want to support it anymore. But what does it cost to keep it as is! Now it cannot show text messages or calls. This is so annoying. Why would anybody want to buy 360 if that's how they treat loyal customers! If someone develops an equivalent app I will be happy to pay $5 for it. Any takers? Updated on march 11, the app is now working again. I guess the server is fixed now. Thank you.

This app has never worked for me. I tried it on a note 2,note 4, note edge and s5 all says the same thing. AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED. IF I could rate -5 stars I would. Until I am able to use the app my rating will stay at -5
Cant get it to sync (bluetooth or WiFi) with Motoactv device or website most of the time. Would like it to resemble the website a bit more, too, to streamline the experience. Can't always log into a PC to look at my info.
Agreed, most reviewers do NOT get that the app is designed to work WITH a Moto ACTV device. Pair it with your phone and get text and phone calls on your wrist. Golf course auto loads for GPS and upload scores and club selection to track stats. AWESOME!
Good god people, the app is meant to accompany the watch to make it function, it isn't meant to be used on its own. Just like Android Wear. That said, I got the watch late in the game, so all I could really do is store workout data on my phone and use it for notifications... rooting the watch and putting your own software on it is the way to go, and the app does still work well for pushing phone notifications. The watch itself is still a good little watch - sized tablet, and the app works well with it.

So I'm actually someone who wants to use it, got the watch and all. Now I can't even sign in with my account, every time it just says it cannot sync and try again later. Yeah I did that, re installed it. Same thing. You guys suck.
I have used my MOTOACTV watch for several years and still think it is brilliant. However, having used it as late as September 2014 for golf, walking, biking with no issues, I can (EDIT) log into the website to sync my data or see the details that the website provided. Can't export from the watch or the phone app. It's a pity Motorola abandoned (sold by Google to Lenovo) one of the best watches out there. I know there were issues with sweat and moisture, but I took care of my watch to avoid those known problems. EDIT: PORTAL IS AVAILABLE BUT WITH SECURITY WARNINGS!

Too bad Motorola never followed it up with decent apps, fitness tracking,or interoperability. Lost S fitness on Samsung Note 3 and unfortunately none of my watch records transfer to device In useful way. So much possibility, literally years ahead of Apple Watch but developers evidently were unimaginative or lacked a long term plan. Would never buy Apple Watch as it is now bc Motoactv is as good or better despite being 3+ years older.
I can log into the Motoactv website. But, I can't log into the app on a Galaxy Note 3, which makes the app worthless.
Great app for what it is. Has some minor bugs that can be navigated around. It needs to have better training programs, shoe mileage tracking and integration to other apps to be competitive.
Finally this app worked, for everyone trying to use this app with the motoactv watch. .. I happened to try n sync it and it worked, idk if I got lucky or they actually fixed it, thanks to the development ppl... I got a s4 galaxy
I realize this program is installed as bloatware on a lot of phones and that's very unfortunate, I hate bloatware as well. The problem itself is really great though if you own the watch and I hope development continues.
