Please help! just got kicked out of the app and can't seem to get back on - the app doesn't recognize my email. Today is the last day of the Challenge and i'm in the top 15 spot. I've spent so much time on this app this whole week, I just want to finish strong. I spoke to someone else and even my name is disappeared from the rankings. :'( update: The developers and IKEA support were very responsive and able to help me.

There are a lot of people making a mockery of the intent of this app. I think the developer needs to tidy up the review process because the temporary limits seem more like a day ban and I see others who post actions that are, I'm sorry to say, completely BS. It's discouraging for people who actually are trying to live sustainable when we are not being rewarded for giving well thought-out posts and images and the guy on top of the leaderboard are taking images from google and claiming it as his own. You guys need to fix this mess. IKEA shouldn't reward those people.

The app is okay and it works as it should. Actions time out which can be a bit annoying especially if they are repeated actions like refilling a water bottle or turning off the lights. But then most frustrating part of the app are the people on it. There is a Sustainability Living Challenge going on until Apr 30. People post their actions that show that they are living more sustainably, however, the top players and some others have been cheating to get to the top. They are posting screenshots of images or taking images off the internet and claiming that they are performing the action. I have been trying my best to live sustainably even before I joined the challenge and I'm grateful to share how I live sustainably and hopefully get awarded for it. This challenge has made me even more aware of things I can improve on in my lifestyle and hopefully do the same for others. However, if there are cheaters hoping to win the $2000 prize and not actually living sustainably, it is truly unfair. I hope that Ikea and the app developers, really assess the winners and award those who truly do their best to make a difference in this world. But good job Ikea for facilitating change especially with the things we use in our home and in our lives. Keep it up!

I was super keen on this at first (I was in the top 5 total scores for the first few days it was out) - and it was really motivating me to do environmental things. But I used it enough to realize that the scoring mechanics actually incentive driving (you can get way more points related to how/when you drive than you can by not driving). Great idea - but disappointingly counter productive.

Looks like you have to have a Yammer account to use this app. When I tried to sign up for Yammer, it wouldn't take me email. Uninstalled.
