Challenge points

It would be really nice if it were possible to just automatically "apply points" for a day when midnight rolls around. I'm not sure of the rationale behind making participants click a button saying they are done for the day, but to have a bunch of points sitting there that end up lost because a family member distracted me, or because I fell asleep early (or whatever reason) is very discouraging. I missed applying them for yesterday for just this type of reason...it's tempting to just quit the challenge, which I likely will do if it happens again since my total no longer accurately represents my achievements. I do like the points themselves, since it makes me focus on a variety of aspects of keto (instead of only carbs). I just don't need one more thing added to the list of stuff I have to do every evening.

    After a comment elsewhere, it occurred to me that an alternative to the "automatic" would be a prompt the first time you open the app the following day. Something along the lines of "You have 90 points that did not get applied for yesterday (or 3/13, or whatever). Would you like to apply them now?" - this would allow the capture of points you would have lost without the "automatic" feature which could possibly cause other issues.

    I woke up this morning expecting my first day on the challenge that my points would be included.  I think I will duck  out of the challlenge if it only rewards me for being overly obsessed with this app by having to log points when I am falling asleep.

    Just encountered this too and was hoping that in this forum I'd find mention of a way to have them applied. Seems not. Shame. It's also discouraging me from continuing the challenge - but, I will perservere and hope that other people experience the same, lol, and I get back up the leaderboard. Having said that, I did send a group message within the challenge to alert people of this problem :)

    I was wondering why my points weren’t being applied- where do I click to say I’m done for the day?

    Stacy Hi. It's at the very  bottom of the Today page where you log all your food and activity. Green button that says "I'M DONE TODAY. APPLY MY POINTS"  I missed it again last night, which is really frustrating.
