Step Challenges Broken?

Is the step challenge function being worked on? Or is it just broken. Step challenges are motivation for me, as it pushes me to finish first every week. It often has me out walking or running when I would normally be sedentary.

Does anyone else have this problem where it has not reset this week? Just says it's looking for a group to put me in - And it's Tuesday already!!!

I need my motivation!!!

    It keeps kicking me to lower and lower challenges. I had 88k steps last week and this week it moved me into a 0k challenge. So yes I'm not thinking they are working correctly.
  • Point is: It has not reset, and it's 7:00am on Tuesday.

    After several weeks of it moving me to lower challenges regardless of how many steps I took it also moved me into an "open" or 0 step challenge. The weird part is it didn't automatically add me like it usually does, instead I had to click the join challenge button on my dashboard to be added to it. Challenges are messed up and need fixing.

    Step Challenge issues

    There definitely has been an issue with the step challenges. It appeared as if everyone was at a 0K step challenge, and many were being asked to "Join", regardless as to how long they've already been participating.

    There were many comments from users wondering what was going on with the app. I emailed Garmin, but did not receive a response. Several hours later, all the comments from the challenge page were wiped out. In fact, trying to find a thread on these forums about this was difficult. I can best guess Garmin wiped out all the comments. I did take a screen shot of the numerous complaints, only because I have found that Garmin really likes to use the excuse: they haven't had similar complaints/concerns.

    As of this early afternoon, I am back in an actual step challenge, and again, all comments are gone, lol.

    Challenge issues

    Having same issue with getting put into lower and lower challenge goals for the past few weeks, as well as, not seeing any challenge info on the dashboard until later in the week (today - Wednesday this week).
  • For the third time now I've been reset to not be in a challenge at all. I was in one which was about 100k and I did more than that and it dropped me down to 80k. Then it threw me out totally. I got back to 75k and it has thrown me out again.

    Anyone at Garmin care to update us?

    Step Challenge Issues

    From all the comments, I see that others are having issues with the Step Challenge as well. I was automatically put into a step challenge group every week, until recently. For the last few weeks, I have had to rejoin the challenge, and then when the group pops up, it doesn't have a step "goal". So, what's the point of being in a step challenge if you don't know what the goal is supposed to be??? If I get 80,000 steps, is that over and above what I need, or is it not enough. I'll never know. And I, too, noticed that there were comments on this, but when I logged in the next morning, ALL the comments were gone!?? Sure wish Garmin would address the issue or at least let the users know what is going on.
