Testimonials

    I am in my first year at university. I have found the Moves+ app to be a fantastic way to stay motivated with my training, as I am constantly aiming for the next reward. I was fortunate enough to win the Fitbit Versa 4 in the DeStresstival Prize draw, which took place during the end-of-year exam period. Running allows me to get outside and distract myself for an hour each day during stressful times and the DeStresstival challenge provided an opportunity to convert my movement into raffle entries. I look forward to making the most of the Fitbit's features and continuing to use the Moves+ app.

    Oshi Adey - Destresstival FitBit winner

    I have really enjoyed using the moves+ app this year. It has helped encourage me to continue my training in both running and cycling, especially last year training for a half marathon, knowing I could get jacket potato (Spud truck) points was great motivation.

    I would encourage everyone across campus to get involved in the Moves+ App. It is a great addition and benefit to being a University of Warwick student or member of staff as it rewards you for looking after your own health! You get rewarded for walking and not just on campus meaning that you can earn points by walking the dog at home or walking to meet your friends, and the inclusivity means that you don’t have to be fitness fanatic to benefit! I look at the app every time I’m on campus to see how my points are adding up and have added my colleagues to help encourage them to use it. It is a really user friendly app and the competitions to enter vary throughout the year! I won a t-shirt in March and use it every week to get a free coffee (redeemable in a reusable cup, which is great for the University targets for sustainability!). Sign up today and reap the rewards from the Moves+ team!

    How do I join a challenge?

    Moves+ is completely free to download and sign up.

    • Walking (steps)
    • Running (miles)
    • Cycling (miles)
    • Swimming (metres)

    Fitness trackers

    Moves+ supports a number of trackers, some of which are free such as Strava and Google Fit that allow you to track your movement through your mobile device. On average your tracking app or wearable will sync with Moves approximately every 24 hours.

    • Apple Health (iOS devices only)
    • Withings / Health Mate
    • Fitbit
    • Google Fit
    • Garmin Connect
    • Strava

    Connect with friends

    You can send a friend request to other Moves+ users. If they are not already registered, you can get yourself an extra 50 points if you invite them and they sign up.

    To add a friend, just go to the ‘Explore’ tab and select ‘People’.

    Once you have connected as friends you can see where each friend is on the leader board, and you can create your own private groups where you can work towards collective goals.

    Troubleshooting
    • Points are not syncing from Garmin tracker
      • Disconnect your tracker, log out of Moves+ and delete the app.
      • Go to your Garmin app and revoke access to Moves+.
      • Garmin Settings > Accounts > ‘Manage Data’ > ‘Manage Third-Party Apps’ > revoke access to Moves (if it appears in the list).
      • Reinstall Moves+ and login (do not connect tracker yet).
      • Ensure sync is enabled on Fitbit.
      • Garmin app > View account > Select the Garmin tracker > Check sync is turned on to All-day sync enabled and preferably turn on ‘Always Connected’.
      • Complete some activity and open Garmin to check that your tracker is showing up-to-date activity for today.
    • Why is the number of steps on Moves different to my tracker app?
      • This is due to the way watches record data and what is then sent to the Moves platform. When a wearable device logs an activity, it shows the user the ‘Perceived’ activity (e.g. you completed 10,000 steps today). When the tracker is sent to Moves, the data that is sent is the ‘Actual’ activity (e.g. 8,000 steps). Therefore, it is only possible for us to show the ‘Perceived’ rather than ‘Actual’ steps on our platform.
    • I'm logged out of my account and cannot log back in
      • Try deleting the app, reinstalling and logging in again.
      • If this doesn’t work, please ensure you are logging into the correct institution by selecting WarwickMoves+ and not Moves at the top of the institution list.
      • Ensure you are using the @warwick.ac.uk email address which you registered with originally, and make sure you are not adding a space after this.
    • My points are not syncing with Google Fit
      • Disconnect the tracker in the Moves app (Edit profile -> Disconnect tracker).
      • On your device, go to Phone settings.
      • Select Accounts -> Select Google / Gmail account linked to your Google Fit (e.g. yourname@gmail.com).
      • Click ‘Account Sync’. Ensure that the toggle or setting ‘Turn Google Fit Data on’ is set to ‘On’.
      • Go to Google Fit settings and check that measurements for activities are in miles (rather than km).
      • Re-connect Google Fit in the Moves app.
    • Activity is not syncing

      Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync manually added data. For example, if an activity is added to Strava manually it will not sync to the Moves App.

      • Only tracked activity from the device will be synced across.
      • If you are experiencing problems with syncing from a tracker then please try removing your tracker and re-installing. We suggest doing this overnight so any activity completed in the time where no tracker is connected is minimal.
      • If there are still issues with syncing after this please try syncing with an alternative tracker. Some models or makes of devices can impact the tracking depending on configuration. Unfortunately, this is not something that Warwick Moves can resolve as the app was configured by OpenPlay.

    • Tracking, connections, and points
      • For trackers and wearables please see FAQ’s.
      • Moves+ app can only provide points for the information pulled in from the tracker and these may vary marginally across tracking apps/devices. Where possible, we will always round-up.
      • There may be some cases where trackers fail to connect with the Moves+ app. Although we always do our best to resolve these issues via troubleshooting guidance, any absolute failure to connect is not always attributed to Moves+ and we cannot accept responsibility for the failure to connect in these cases.
      • Please note that not all trackers have the ability to track swimming - Apple Health needs Apple Watch, Strava and Google Fit require a waterproof phone, Fitbit, certain models which allow for Swimming and GPS capability. Withings does not record distance or GPS data and therefore Moves+ is unable to read swimming from these devices.
      • Please note that all user points will re-set to 0 at the end of financial year (31st July) each year. Any points remaining on accounts will be lost and not re-imbursed.
    • User Survey and personal data
      • The user survey is compulsory at registration. It is a condition of your use of Warwick Moves that all the information you provide is correct, current, and complete.
      • All personal data in connection with Warwick Moves will be kept in accordance with Open Play’s privacy policy.
    • Groups and challenges

      • Private group goals: we reserve the right to limit the number of private group goals available.
      • You can only join one type of challenge at the same time. For example, the platform will prevent you from competing in two walking challenges at the same time. This is to ensure that users are not gaining bonus points across two challenges when they have only logged one instance of an activity.
      • If a user syncs their activity after the end date of a challenge, we cannot retrospectively add that activity to a challenge.
      • We urge you to only join public groups that are relevant to you, including any respective challenges within that group.
    • Rewards
      • We will always endeavour to keep rewards up until their finish date, however, we reserve the right to remove rewards before their finish date if stock levels are depleted, or the item becomes no longer available, or unable to distribute safely.
      • If a reward has no stock, then it will no longer be available. All rewards are subject to change throughout the year based on availability.
      • Rewards must be redeemed within the active date stated.

      • Merchant claim: rewards should only be redeemed at the point of sale with a member of staff present. If rewards are redeemed any earlier the reward claim will not be valid and a replacement not provided. Rewards and instructions on how to redeem are detailed on the app. Type of Merchants and where you reward can be used is also stated on the app.
      • Discount claim – on claiming the reward a unique code will be revealed. Instructions will be given on how to claim your reward. Users must only use a code once and must present this code as per instructions on the Warwick Moves app. Codes are presented to the merchant when redeeming. The code will not remain on the app once presented.
      • If a reward is incorrectly/mistakenly redeemed the associated points will not be reimbursed to the user. Once a reward is redeemed, it cannot be undone.
      • We reserve the right to increase the points associated with each reward without notice. This is due to price inflation at the time of purchasing stock.
