It's time to switch from Walkingspree
Buggy syncing, walking-only challenges, and no recognition tools — your employees deserve better. Woliba brings wellness, engagement, rewards & culture together in one modern platform.
"Not accurate data captured by this app. I had contacted the developer team with my issues, but never got any solution for the problem. Even after 1 year, I'm facing the same problem with the application.I'm losing important points."

Here are five reasons Why HRs leave Walkingspree
Wellness programs should engage everyone — not just the people who track steps. Woliba helps HR teams create a more inclusive employee experience with wellbeing, engagement, recognition, AI-powered burnout alerts, and hands-on support.
"It's just a walking app" — and that excludes half your workforce
Walkingspree is laser-focused on step counting and walking challenges. Employees who cycle, swim, do yoga, have a desk job, or a mobility limitation are effectively excluded. When the platform doesn't feel built for you, participation drops after the first challenge and never recovers.
"WalkingSpree, while effective in promoting walking, may not offer a fully rounded approach to wellness that includes mental or social health aspects."
Constant sync failures frustrate employees — and kill participation
Walkingspree's most common complaint across hundreds of reviews is broken syncing. Samsung Health, Google Fit, and Fitbit all report issues. Employees have to manually open the app every few days just to sync — and still lose steps. When your wellness platform causes stress, it defeats the purpose entirely.
"It doesn't sync properly with my device. It continues to subtract steps as well. Was never contacted by a Member Support Agent."
No public pricing — just a "Book a Demo" wall
Walkingspree doesn't publish any pricing. You have to book a demo just to find out what it costs — a classic enterprise tactic that wastes HR time and signals inflexibility. And when you do get a quote, SSO and co-branding are still charged as add-ons. You get a walking app at an enterprise price with zero transparency.
"For this very high price, I would have expected a lot more. Definitely would not recommend this to other groups."
No recognition, no rewards, no surveys — just step leaderboards
Walkingspree has no employee recognition tools, no manager shoutouts, no engagement surveys, and no rewards catalog built in. It tracks steps and nothing more. When employees feel unseen, participation drops — and HR ends up managing multiple disconnected tools to fill the gap.
"Walkingspree is a specialized platform focused only on walking as a form of physical activity — lacking mental or social health components that modern employees need."
"Looks like something off an iPhone circa 2012"
Walkingspree was founded in 2006 and it shows. Users consistently describe the UI as dated, slow to load (2+ minutes), and difficult to navigate. After every update, new bugs appear. For HR teams trying to drive adoption, an ugly, clunky app is a non-starter.
"Dreadful app. Everything takes ages, it looks like something off an iPhone circa 2012 and now they've started bombarding me with emails with no way to disable them."

Frequently Asked Questions
Creating a work culture is a shared responsibility where every individual plays a vital role and it all starts with selecting the right solution. Allow Woliba to transform this into a reality.
How long does migration from Wellable take?
Switching wellness platforms shouldn’t cause your HR team a headache. We’ve seen companies migrate from Wellable in under 15 days — bringing over their challenge history, employee data, reward structures, and wellness program setup without missing a beat. Your dedicated Woliba CSM handles the entire transition, from data migration to employee communications to launching your first challenge, so your team feels zero disruption.
Does Woliba really only charge active users?
What's included in $2/user/month?
Everything. Wellness challenges, peer recognition, rewards engine, health resources, EAP access, social wall, gamification, analytics, and dedicated CSM support — all in one subscription at $2 per active user per month, starting from $100/month. There are no add-on fees for NOM-035 compliance or the recognition module. Compare that to Wellable at $4/user for wellness only, and the value gap is significant.
How is Woliba different from just a wellness app?
Wellness apps track habits. Woliba builds culture. The difference is the social layer — peer recognition, team challenges, a social wall that feels like a network your employees actually want to open. Husch Blackwell went from 46 posts to 438 on their social feed and from 55% to 90% challenge participation after switching from Wellable. That’s not a wellness app — that’s a culture engine.
What kind of support does Woliba provide?
Every Woliba customer — regardless of company size — gets a dedicated Customer Success Manager who proactively checks in, reviews program performance, and helps plan what’s next. This is not a ticket system. Your CSM knows your program, your participation trends, and your goals. Wellable customers on G2 specifically cited slow, reactive, templated support as a key frustration. That’s the opposite of the Woliba model.
Can we see Woliba before committing?
Absolutely. Book a free live demo and we’ll walk you through the platform using your real use case — your team size, your industry, your challenges. No generic slide decks. Pricing is shared on the first call, and there’s no commitment required. Most teams who see a demo make a decision within the same week.
Does Woliba work for remote/global teams?
Use the app in multiple languages so employees can easily understand and participate. Challenges and activities feel more accessible when everyone can engage in the language they’re most comfortable with.
