Who it's for
This app is for individuals looking for short, convenient home workouts and basic meal ideas, especially beginners or those with busy schedules R15. It is NOT for users who require advanced workout customization, specific dietary plans for diverse cuisines, or reliable workout tracking due to frequent app crashes and logging issues R12R3R49.
Evidence note: The recent reviews skew significantly negative, focusing on app stability and content limitations, which contrasts with the high lifetime rating. The trajectory suggests a decline in user satisfaction, especially regarding technical performance and perceived value of paid features. The developer's notes about 'behind-the-scenes fixes' are directly contradicted by widespread reports of crashes and tracking failures.

- [R13] Full fitness short plan: Doing 9 minutes a day to start recovering my fitness and already feel little pain all over. Best 9 minutes ever to start the day.
- [R15] Best Workout App: I’ve always had a hard time working out. I felt that I just didn’t have enough time in my day to get in the car and go to the gym. I’m a mom of 3, I work full time so my schedule is pretty busy. With these workouts it’s only 10 - 20 minutes very simple but effective.
- [R17] I absolutely love this app: Seriously it works me out and I don’t have to go to the gym
- [R32] Amazing & Helpful: I did the 1 week free trial and was 100% satisfied after the first day of having it so I purchased the year subscription. Makes working out easier and convenient. Plans all my workouts for me and has SO much to offer within the app.
- [R16] A New Start to Healthier Me: Not looking for a silver bullet. I am a newbie and I liked what appears to be the simplicity of the App. Really like the easy to make recipes for all meals and snacks for 30 days. That was a big attraction for me. I’m very hopeful and will share my progress. Day 1 - 4/14/21 🤞👍😊 Sharon
- [R47] Ready!!: So far I love it!! Been searching for something “dummy proof”, and here it is, eat this on these days, do these workouts these days!! Cant wait for the results!
- [R5] Ok Apo: This is an Ok app if you are new to working out. I like that it has real human shoeing the different sets. The exercises, though, have VERY little variety and the sequences are repetitive. The sound of the beeping between exercises is annoying and if you are playing your own music it - the beep- interferes with the music. Also, the names of the exercise series change but the actual sets a
- [R20] Love: Great workouts for yourself and others! Love that I feel like this is for me I told them what my goals were and just like that workouts just for me!
- [R29] Good app: Love how it’s getting to know me and trying to set my goal weight
- [R12] Not recording workouts: I have had several workouts that do not get recorded. The screen freezes or disappears. Sometimes the workout will stop midway and then begin the next one. It is frustrating because I got the app to record progress. Additionally, for the fitness workouts try to group standing and reclining exercises together. I have autoimmune disorders that prevent me from going up and do
- [R18] Started my first workout and app is crashing.: Sleek app, I like the look, I like the interface but I opened it up for day 2 of 21 Day Challenge and it said to complete day 1. I did day 1 over again thinking I stopped before the work out registered. Nope it crashes at the rate the work out screen. I skipped through day one 3 times to test this. Needless to say I’m dissatisfied. I’ll try somethi
- [R39] Turns off mid run: I am so disappointed. I have loved this app but for the last 3 months or so it just stops working mid run - I get frustrated trying to keep up with the interval and then I look at my phone and it has just stopped. Then I have to start it over skip ahead and it doesn’t count as a completed run. Are there any fixes in place for this?
- [R49] Welcome to the crash party: I want to really like this app because it’s great for those who are on the go but this app crashes right before you finish your goals and it doesn’t calculate anything beforehand! I am glad my Apple Watch does but I paid for this app and it’s not doing its job!! Once it fixes the crashing issues it really would be a great app
- [R43] Doesn’t log my workouts when complete: I like the workouts, but when I finish the workout it doesn’t log it as complete and wants me to repeat the same workout again as if I hadn’t done it yet
- [R42] Not a good variety of exercise: I liked it at first but after few days I realized there’s not a lot of exercise. They all keep repeating ,
- [R24] Meal Plan?: I signed up for the meal plan and once I downloaded and paid for the app, it doesn’t give you a meal plan at all. I can see options for recipes, but you’re only given access for the one day of recipes. How are you supposed to grocery shop for the week if you don’t get an actual plan?!?!?!?
- [R3] International Food Options: The App itself is fine but when it comes to tacking your calories the food options are limited. I eat a lot of Indian and middle eastern food and I had to choose multiple options just to come close to tracking what I am eating there are other free apps that have better for tracking your calories and they are free apps…
- [R9] Useless: Information is useless in the premium version of the app. Instantly regretted paying for membership and haven’t used it since. Will be disputing my charge.
- [R27] Misleading App Advertising: The ad for this app shows a cartoonish person running with the goals to choose from I bought the subscription, but there’s not much motivation. You can find the same exercises on YouTube for free. I thought the app was going to provide a visual of my progress. Don’t waste your money.
- [R33] Difficult to use: Not specific to individuals needs. Wish I can get my money back
- [R37] Not very please with app: I am not very pleased with this app because you cannot cast to your TV.
- [R41] Lacks ability to cast to TV: This app would be really excellent if there was a subscribe to option and you could get on screen notifications and schedule your exercises throughout the day. DOES NOT ALLOW CAST TO TV to view workouts on a larger screen. App support is responsive but I will cancel my subscription until further improvements are made.
- [R2] Workouts: I want to be able to select a part of the body I want to work out. Instead I got a work out plan. I dont want that and I feel I was tricked into purchasing this app
- [R4] False advertisement: I downloaded this app to help me out in the gym while lifting weights (like it advertise it on Instagram). I don’t see any options for the weight lifting.
- [R40] Need more back and arm programs: Need more back and arm programs for toned back and long slender arms
- [R7] Recommended exercises I can’t do: Since I have an auto immune disorder, I have issues with my knees and hips. I was very excited when I saw that the app asked if I had these issues. I thought GREAT! They will show me exercises I can do! Um....nope! Lunges, clam shells, squats, and weighted squats. Why ask about joint issues if the app is just going to ignore what you say.
- [R36] Run??: Hi I am checking this out and saw I new to run. I can’t run, Ivan with a limp. I am disabled, and depending on the run I might fall. I know because I have tried running lots of times! Is there anything easier I can do??
- [R1] Not the same…: I was using this app back in December/January and now I am disappointed to find, there are no free videos only individual exercise instructions.
- [R6] Verv: Best weight loss app ever!!
- [R25] Love: I don’t have money to pay for premium but I love
