Recurring themes

Custom Workouts negative
Many users report that recent updates have deleted their previously created custom workouts, making them inaccessible. There are also complaints about the difficulty in editing or creating new custom workouts, including issues with changing rest timers or logging progress accurately.R4R7R8R9
App Stability/Performance negative
Despite developer notes mentioning bug fixes, multiple recent reviews indicate the app crashes, freezes, or fails to load after updates, particularly for older iOS devices. This renders the app unusable for some paying subscribers.R60R87R98R99
Subscription & Billing negative
A significant number of users report being charged unexpectedly for yearly subscriptions after signing up for free trials, or having difficulty canceling subscriptions. There are also complaints about unresponsive customer service regarding refunds and billing issues. Some users feel the app has become 'pay to view' where basic functionality is now behind a paywall.R14R32R34R36
Workout Content & Guidance positive
Users consistently praise the app for its detailed workout programs, instructional videos, and clear guidance on exercise technique. Many find it effective for muscle building, staying motivated, and gaining confidence in the gym. The app is seen as a great tool for both beginners and experienced individuals.R10R11R13R22
Integration & Flexibility negative
Reviewers express frustration over the lack of integration with Apple Health or other fitness tracking apps. They also desire more flexibility in customizing workouts, such as adjusting supersets, swapping exercises, or having a wider range of exercise types like kettlebells.R28R55R71R75

Who it's for

This app is for individuals seeking detailed workout programs with instructional videos to guide their gym or home fitness routines, especially those focused on muscle building and consistent progress R11R13R56. It is particularly useful for beginners who need guidance on technique and a structured plan . However, it is not for users who rely heavily on custom workout plans that need to persist across updates, or those who expect seamless integration with Apple Health or other fitness trackers R7R28R55. Users sensitive to unexpected charges or who prefer a straightforward, transparent subscription model should be cautious R34R39.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, particularly regarding subscription issues, app stability, and deleted custom workouts, which contradicts the developer's notes about bug fixes. This recent sentiment contrasts sharply with the high lifetime rating, suggesting a significant decline in user experience post-update. The confidence for these negative points is high due to their recurrence across many recent reviews.

  20. [R60] 5/5 · AU Loved the app until it stopped working: Love this app until an upgrade was installed and now can’t even open. Not impressed when it’s a paid subscription.
  21. [R87] 1/5 · AU App freezes and no tech support: Ongoing and repeated freezing and unable to start new program, emailed them multiple times and once got an email saying looking into it. Since then two updates and I still can't use the app. The app is good, support is non existent.
  22. [R98] 2/5 · AU App won’t load - Latest update killed my app: Have been using the app for a few years and love it..

  23. [R99] 1/5 · AU DO NOT UPDATE FOR OLDER IOS DEVICES: Latest update has left my app unusable. App does not load, only black screen is showed.
  24. [R34] 1/5 · CA Delete it if you don’t like it: Tried this app for a couple days didn’t like it, then forgot about it and got charged for a year subscription automatically. Classic ripoff, got me this time!
  25. [R36] 1/5 · CA Terrible customer service: I signed up for the free trial, cancelled the service the next day, and then was charged for a full year membership ($140) I have emailed the support line 3 times for a refund but no response!
  26. [R39] 1/5 · CA Be careful: Selected the 7 day free trial and was instantly charged $120 for a yearly subscription. Haven’t received a refund yet.
  27. [R40] 1/5 · CA Cancel my subscription.: I recently got charged for a yearly subscription but I wanted the weekly plan because I’ll not need the app for a year.

  30. [R15] 5/5 · CA Great workout app. Would be the best if allows to alter program.: Wooûd be the best if allows to alter program
  31. [R71] 3/5 · AU Customised workouts are difficult to use: This rating is steered towards the customised training schedule. Had to stop using it as I was unable to keep a proper log of my workouts because the functionality doesn't allow for good editing during or after the workout. You have to follow it perfectly for it to save your reps and weight as you can't go back after a workout is marked complete. So makes
  32. [R28] 2/5 · CA Inflexible: Does not communicate with apple health app and has no flexibility for substituting equipment/exercises.
  33. [R55] 1/5 · AU Doesn’t sync with apple health at all.: I like the app but just wish the workouts actually synced with my apple health .
  34. [R90] 3/5 · AU I like it but: I really enjoy the app but it could have some improvement, for example something that I’d like to see is that I can see my training on my health app of apple. Like the app of Nike or fitness do
  35. [R95] 4/5 · AU Excellent app for getting back to the gym: I love this app as it really removes the fiction of going back to the gym. I always know I can walk in and not have to think about it, the app will give me a list of exercises and will keep pushing you by slowly increasing the weight. The only thing I’m looking for at the moment would be some data exporting function to have it track workout time and estim
  36. [R75] 3/5 · AU Wider range of exercises would be great: Great app and very well put together, very professional with great instructions, my Maine complaint and I do find this frustrating, It’s pretty limited to weights, I’d like to see a little broader range of exercises suck as kettlebells, sleds, and higher intensity type training, I like how the targeted muscle groups are shown, but would nice to have this b
  37. [R65] 4/5 · AU Use this app every day: It’s a great app. Started me getting back into the gym. I feel confident going in and following a plan. The workouts are good, I enjoy focusing on different muscle groups so the 5 day week works for me. I’m on week 6 and noticeably getting stronger and leaner from when I started out. It would be great if variations of exercises could be updated. There are so many new inno
  38. [R17] 1/5 · CA Pay big bucks: No sense in paying 23.99 a month, I can hire someone to help me for that price
  39. [R83] 1/5 · AU Stuck on pay screen: Not free. I used the app for a short time without paying and now everytime I open it it asks me to select a membership. Way too expensive for what it is.
  40. [R14] 1/5 · CA Scammed: Scammed me and charged me
  41. [R32] 1/5 · CA How to cancel free trial: You have to go into your App Store and then go to subscriptions to avoid being charged after the free trial.
