Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about PushCheck

Getting Started

What is PushCheck?

PushCheck is a push-up accountability app designed for friend groups. Track your push-ups, challenge your friends, and see who actually shows up. Unlike solo fitness apps, PushCheck focuses on friend-group accountability through leaderboards and challenges.

How does PushCheck work?

Download the app, log your daily push-ups, and add friends to create accountability groups. Your progress appears on a shared leaderboard, so everyone can see who's showing up and who's making excuses. It's simple: track push-ups, challenge friends, see who shows up.

Is PushCheck free?

Yes! PushCheck is 100% free with no ads, no hidden costs, and no premium upsells. We built it for friend groups who want real accountability, not a subscription service.

What platforms is PushCheck available on?

PushCheck is currently available on iOS (iPhone). Download from the App Store. Android support is coming soon.

Features & Functionality

How do I track my push-ups?

Open PushCheck, tap the "+" button, and enter the number of push-ups you completed. Your total updates immediately and appears on the friend leaderboard. You can log push-ups multiple times per day.

Can I challenge my friends to a push-up competition?

Absolutely. Create a friend group, invite your crew, and start logging push-ups. The leaderboard updates in real-time, so everyone knows exactly where they stand. Competition breeds accountability.

How do friend groups work in PushCheck?

Create a group, share the invite link with friends, and everyone's push-ups appear on the same leaderboard. You can be in multiple groups at once (work friends, gym crew, etc.). Each group has its own leaderboard and stats.

Does PushCheck automatically count my push-ups?

No. PushCheck uses manual entry because we focus on accountability, not gimmicks. You log your reps honestly, and your friends hold you accountable. It's simple, fast, and doesn't require camera access or sensors.

Can I see my progress over time?

Yes! PushCheck tracks your daily totals, weekly streaks, and all-time stats. See your progress graphs, identify trends, and watch your numbers climb when your friends keep you accountable.

How do leaderboards work?

Leaderboards rank your friend group by total push-ups in a given period (daily, weekly, monthly, or all-time). You can see exactly who's showing up and who's falling behind. Rankings update in real-time as friends log their push-ups.

What are streaks in PushCheck?

Streaks track how many consecutive days you've done push-ups. Do at least one push-up per day to maintain your streak. Your friends can see your streak on the leaderboard, adding social pressure to keep showing up.

Accountability & Motivation

How is PushCheck different from other push-up apps?

Most push-up apps focus on solo training plans or automatic counting. PushCheck is built for friend-group accountability. We don't care about fancy AI counting or complex workout programs. We care about one thing: seeing who shows up. Leaderboards, streaks, and friend challenges keep you accountable in a way solo apps never could.

Why friend accountability instead of solo tracking?

Because talking about working out in the group chat is easy. Actually doing it? That's different. PushCheck makes it visible who's showing up and who's making excuses. Social pressure and friendly competition are way more motivating than tracking alone.

Can I use PushCheck without friends?

Yes, you can track solo. But PushCheck is designed for friend groups. The accountability angle is what makes it effective. Solo tracking works, but you're missing the core feature: seeing who shows up.

How does PushCheck help me stay consistent?

Three ways: (1) Your friends can see if you skip days, (2) Leaderboards create friendly competition, (3) Streaks give you a visual reason to show up daily. It's harder to skip when your crew is watching.

Privacy & Data

Is my push-up data private?

Your data is only visible to friends you explicitly add to your groups. We don't sell your data, show ads, or share your stats publicly. What happens in your friend group stays in your friend group.

Do I need to create an account?

Yes, to sync data across devices and participate in friend groups. Account creation takes 30 seconds and only requires an email or Apple Sign-In.

Comparisons & Alternatives

PushCheck vs. other push-up trackers?

Most push-up trackers focus on solo training plans (like "0 to 100 push-ups" programs) or automatic counting via camera. PushCheck focuses exclusively on friend-group accountability. If you want complex training plans, use those apps. If you want your friends to keep you accountable, use PushCheck.

PushCheck vs. general fitness apps?

Apps like Strong, Hevy, or Nike Training Club track all workouts. PushCheck is push-ups only, with a laser focus on friend accountability. We're not trying to be everything for everyone. We're the accountability app for friend groups who want to do push-ups together.

What about apps with automatic counting?

Some apps use your camera or sensors to count push-ups automatically. Cool tech, but it requires setting up your phone, dealing with lighting issues, and privacy concerns. PushCheck uses manual entry because it's faster, more reliable, and doesn't require camera access. Trust your friends, not sensors.

Common Issues

My friend isn't showing up on the leaderboard

Make sure they accepted the group invite and logged at least one push-up session. Leaderboards only show friends who have activity in the selected time period (daily, weekly, etc.).

Can I edit or delete a logged workout?

Yes! Tap on your logged entry and select "Edit" or "Delete." We trust you to be honest, but accidents happen.

I lost my streak, can I get it back?

Streaks are sacred in PushCheck. If you missed a day, your streak resets to zero. No streak savers, no excuses. Show up daily or start over. Your friends will notice either way.

How do I invite friends to PushCheck?

In the app, go to your group, tap "Invite Friends," and share the link via text, email, or social media. Friends download the app, create an account, and tap your invite link to join.

Support & Feedback

How do I report a bug or request a feature?

Email us at support@pushcheck.app. We read every message and prioritize features that make friend accountability better.

Is PushCheck open to feature suggestions?

Absolutely. We built PushCheck for friend groups like yours. If you have ideas to make accountability better, we want to hear them.

How can I help PushCheck grow?

Three ways: (1) Leave a review on the App Store, (2) Share PushCheck with your friend groups, (3) Post your leaderboard screenshots on social media and tag #PushCheck. Word of mouth from real users is everything.

Future Plans

Is Android support coming?

Yes! Android is on the roadmap. For now, PushCheck is iOS-only. If you want Android support sooner, let us know at support@pushcheck.app.

Will PushCheck ever add other exercises?

Maybe. Right now, we're focused on being the best push-up accountability app for friend groups. If demand is high for other bodyweight exercises (sit-ups, squats, etc.), we'll consider it. But we won't dilute the core focus: push-ups and accountability.

Will PushCheck stay free?

Yes. No plans for premium tiers, subscriptions, or paid features. PushCheck is free because we believe accountability shouldn't cost money.
