  1. [R9] Daily Workouts 3/5 · US It’s great but I few things I wish would change: This app is amazing!! I do this everyday and it works perfectly! It’s a great quick workout if you haven’t exercised in a while. All though a few things I’d like to say, and change, is the calories you’ve burned isn’t accurate.. And the quality isn’t the best.. But, a few positive things I’d like to say is, that I like how it was a lot of options o
  2. [R13] Daily Workouts 5/5 · US Abs: I love it but more ab work and legs
  3. [R14] Daily Workouts 4/5 · US Daily Workouts -Home Trainer: I am in highschool and used this app for the past week There are advantages as well as disadvantages to this fitness app. I liked the variety of exercises as well as streaming videos on multiple components of fitness such as the core, yoga, abs muscles etc. In addition to videos demonstrating before and after workout routines. Something that I didn't like about this a
  4. [R15] Daily Workouts 5/5 · US Butt workout: I tried the butt workout for 30 days and my butt is super big now all the girl in my grade are like what app do you use for your butt

  6. [R20] Daily Workouts 5/5 · US Awesome for building muscle!: I have had this app or a week and I am noticing a huge difference! Will use this app again 10/10 best app I can find with the easiest controls. Amazing app and I can make a bigger difference. You should download, it is the easiest workouts with customized timers and has helped me so much on my journey to get in good shape!! 💞
  7. [R24] Daily Workouts 5/5 · US Awesome convenient app for everyday use!: I use this app everyday for about two weeks and I’m starting to get abs, I only do it for five minutes a day and it’s working. All you need is a mat for the abdominal workout and if you do it for about two weeks for five minutes you'll either be toned or start forming abs. I like that it’s fast quick and easy, so that working out isn’t dreadful.
  8. [R4] Daily Workouts 1/5 · US Spam App: Morning! Do you want constant advertising while working out, well here it. I have deleted this App.

  10. [R10] Daily Workouts 2/5 · US Daily Workouts: I didnt try it because you have to pay for it even though it says no in app purchases.

  12. [R18] Daily Workouts 5/5 · US Loving so far: So I just got this app but I did a few things and I love it. I have tried so many workout apps and I can never find a good free ones but this one is the best of them all. I will never pay a month subscription on an app because you could be a huge scam and not do anything. But I just did a few work outs here and already I can feel the work outs working. I am starting school soon and
  13. [R30] Daily Workouts 5/5 · US This app is awesome: You don’t have to pay
  14. [R32] Daily Workouts 5/5 · US G: I would rate this as a great option if you are looking for a good, free, workout
  15. [R51] Home Fitness Coach 1/5 · US No way out: I somehow have a monthly fee, although there is no email confirmation on record and none of my emails are signed up. But, my card is being charged.

  17. [R60] Home Fitness Coach 1/5 · US Can not cancel subscription: I’ve tried multiple times to cancel my subscription and it does NOT happen. It will say “your subscription has been cancelled “ but you can still use it until whatever date. I unfortunately used PayPal to do it and cancelling them paying it is next to impossible. I’ve been trying to cancel this subscription for over a year! But every 3 months they still charge me over
  18. [R65] Home Fitness Coach 3/5 · US Cancel: How do I cancel this!!!!!
  19. [R99] Home Fitness Coach 1/5 · US Nothing is free… no chance to try: Workout is very personal, what works for one person won’t work for the other. There is no option to even view what COULD be your plan, until you purchase. I’ll save my money, create a YouTube playlist of workouts I know will work before tossing money at an app that may or may not work for me.
