The Kids Heart Challenge App is a mobile platform created by the American Heart Association (AHA) aimed at promoting heart-healthy habits among children. Through engaging activities and educational resources, the app encourages kids to adopt healthier lifestyles while also helping raise funds for heart disease research and prevention. The app offers a fun and interactive way for children, parents, and schools to engage in health-promoting activities and build awareness of cardiovascular wellness.
It may be convenient if you are trying to easily raise money, but honestly the website works well enough for that. My issue with the app is that they get the kids all excited about making their stickers and heart heroes come to life with the augmented reality part of the app. Then it turns out that not all phones are compatible with that feature. I downloaded the app last year because she was desperate to use that feature. It worked last year. Now this year it says my device (same phone) is not compatible. Not all of us get new phones every year or 2. It really shouldn't be so complicated that a 2 year old phone can't work with the feature.
The "scan heart image check" does not work in app nor do any of the games. I saw someone else posted about this as well. My child was excited to see the characters come to life on the app but was disappointed when we found out that it was not working. Everything else worked perfectly fine. :)
Glitchy. It started glitching where I can't log the days in the challenge; it won't scroll to show it. I can't change it back to "be kind" when I can get to that part. Made a self donation and it's not checking that challenge off and that's all she needs to finish all 8.
