Head to head
Pick Sharecare if you value a broader range of health content and coaching, and are willing to tolerate significant app performance issues for the potential benefits of employer-sponsored wellness programs R20.
Pick Terryberry Be Well if your primary use case is participating in step challenges and team competitions, and you are prepared to troubleshoot frequent syncing and login issues .
Evidence note: Both apps have a high lifetime rating, but a significant portion of recent reviews for both are highly negative, indicating a decline in app performance and user satisfaction over time. The free-to-download nature of both apps, often tied to employer wellness programs, means users may be 'forced' to use them, potentially skewing reviews towards frustration with mandatory usage and technical issues rather than a voluntary choice.

- [R2] Sharecare Works well but…: the Real Age is a joke!
- [R8] Sharecare My note: It helps me keep track and remember what helps me
- [R19] Sharecare Points is visits: Rarely do the points transfer from wellness, dental visits to Sharecare. Takes to long to get points and every year I’m emailing for points due to past preventative care visits. And I don’t sit in smoking sections yet it is making me older and it is suggested I sit in nonsmoking sections yet in the real age test! Algorithm is off or not accurate
- [R20] Sharecare Excellent care: Excellent way to take care of health in planned way.
- [R3] Sharecare Constant freezing/crashes: I don't know how this app has close to 5 stars. Great content, easy tracking, and very helpful/useful...when it works. But it constantly freezes and I have to restart the app. I've been using this (through work) for 4+ years across different phones and it's always been this way.
- [R4] Sharecare Bugs: Every time I try to use this app it locks up on me. It’s very try frustrating. Please fix this especially since workplaces incentivize using the app to get money toward wellness items.
- [R5] Sharecare Useful: Easy to use, easy to track
- [R6] Sharecare So laggy!: We use this for my employer and it’s gotten sooo laggy this year it’s unusable. Even if you can get it to allow you to select your data, if you put “yes” it saves “no”
- [R7] Sharecare Terrible: Terribly slow. Glitches all the time. Unusable.
- [R1] Sharecare No incentives anymore.: No incentives anymore to get points like the Engage app or Sharecare had last year.
- [R25] Sharecare It’s sooooo slow!: [4/11/26 update - some days ok, most days it freezes and is not usable. And why would I contact you to discuss when most reviews are about the same slow, laggy, freezing app. It’s frustrating when our benefits credits depends on us using this app. How does it have a 4.6 rating? It used to work well and I guess most reviews older.] Whenever an update happened a few months ago (n
- [R12] Sharecare Cashes: App crashes a lot and used to link to my step tracker automatically without me having to enter them. Now it doesn’t.
- [R15] Sharecare Not impressed: I just started using it today because of the company I work for but for some reason when I try to link the “tracking” to my Apple Watch and / or “health” app in my phone the app kicks me out? I have to manually enter the steps which I guess isn’t terrible but seems a little like running in circles. I may forget to do it one night and not get credit? Idk, it seems odd.
- [R45] Sharecare Site glitches: Due to the app glitching and freezing, I was unable to complete my first challenge. It also wasn’t syncing my steps with my apple app. This has happened three times this year and intermittently last year.
- [R56] Sharecare Third party APPs: Have you tried syncing with apple or Samsung health
- [R13] Sharecare too many glitches: the app barely loads. there are too many glitches that the app is basically not functional.
- [R47] Sharecare Awful Customer Service: No one ever answers the phone, emails or chats. I have tried to sign up through my employer for 3 years. I get so frustrated with customer service I gave up.
- [R57] Sharecare Nobody to talk to when you have issues: I haven’t been able to find any place to get help with the app, I am missing a key feature that everyone else I know has and I don’t have a way to get it resolved.
- [R107] Terryberry Be Well Not syncing: Terrible platform to track activities and steps. Mine stopped syncing and I’ve tried disconnecting device, deleting the app, and reinstalling and reconnecting, and still no solution to the syncing problem. Contacted support, and they are slow to help. 0 stars if I could.
- [R118] Terryberry Be Well Data sync to AppleHealth: Customer service is not helpful when trying to troubleshoot issues. They have resorted to only communication via email and will send out troubleshooting prompts from previous app name “Walker Tracker,” which to me, is indicative of lack of care. I have resorted to contacting my wellness team for manual input until a resolution is found. This solution is inconvenient and t
