  1. [R1] Fitness App 1/5 · US Fitness: This app doesn’t give you any new workouts. It tells you the same thing and doesn’t project anything new it’s not what you think.
  2. [R5] Fitness App 5/5 · US What you’re looking for!!: Best fitness app I have tried . Step by step workout plan with videos. Easy to use
  3. [R9] Fitness App 3/5 · US 3⭐️: The reason why I give this app three stars is because the choices you have to choose from for like your meals. It’s very limited like I can’t put my own personal meal and say this is what I ate today or type the name in and that mail pops up there’s none of that. it’s only specific meals that’s already programmed into the app that you’ll see and you have to choose from and if you’re not havin
  4. [R24] Fitness App 5/5 · US amazing resource: such a great app to use in the gym OR at home. really good for beginners to correct form and inform people to make a solid plan.
  5. [R3] Fitness App 3/5 · US What's with the update? Now the exercise GIFs don't load, and the fonts are HUGE. Do you test how it looks on different screen sizes? · translated
  6. [R10] Fitness App 1/5 · US Extremely deceptive, lacks basic features: I wanted so so so badly to give this a solid 4 stars. It’s a little difficult to navigate but you can learn. It’s a little confusing to set up but you can learn. I was ready and willing to give it an easy 4-star review and start recommending it. Boy am I glad I **DIDN’T**! For the first week of using it, I could see the calories burned, could set the rest
  7. [R18] Fitness App 3/5 · US Review: It was great until recently that it keep freezing and I have to delete and install every time now
  8. [R4] Fitness App 1/5 · US Unhappy: I get in a grove with this app and then next thing I have to pay for it. At least wait for a month or so I can see some results!
  9. [R6] Fitness App 3/5 · US Workouts: Some of the workouts are very high sets and reps for the average person, and even tho I said I don’t have a bench it won’t adjust the workouts that require a bench. Overall tho a very good app for someone who needs a free workout plane.
  10. [R7] Fitness App 1/5 · US Paywall: Used to be able to use basic features free. Now you only get 3 days.
  11. [R16] Fitness App 2/5 · US Heart rate disappeared: I didn’t know why the heart rate disappeared when i start the workout out in the app, it was before very useful!!?
  12. [R19] Fitness App 1/5 · US Lousy: I’ve been using it for over two years, but lately it keeps closing on its own. I have to open it every time I exercise, and it’s annoying that it keeps asking for permission to check my heart rate, something I’ve always refused. It’s stressful using it, and I hope they fix it.
  13. [R12] Fitness App 3/5 · US 7 bucks a month is a lot. For 7 bucks a month, it's not worth it. I would have bought the app for 20-25 bucks, but this way... I'm deleting it. · translated
  14. [R27] Fitness App 2/5 · US Nice pictures but horrible functionality: There is no way to export your data, and if you don’t subscribe for $6.99/month they don’t even give you a rest timer. The diagrams are nice but the limitations make this a subpar experience.
  15. [R52] Gymverse 5/5 · US Finally Excited To Workout: I've been avoiding the gym for years. We have a home gym and I'm finally excited to workout because I told Gymverse what equipment we have and I finally know what to do and how to do it.
  16. [R21] Fitness App 1/5 · US Se traba: La tuve por un año todo bien asta hace un par de días ya no abre se traba pensé que era mi teléfono pero en el de mi hermano también.
