  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..

  9. [R63] Fitness Verv 4/5 · US Good but lacking: I really enjoy how easy it is to get started on the workouts and the recipe suggestions, and most of the exercises are pretty fun. However, there is definitely room for improvement. 1) The calorie/food input is super limiting. It would be helpful if we could just scan barcodes in or manually input food and calories when it’s not available in the list. 2) It doesn’t seem to REAL

  19. [R72] Fitness Verv 1/5 · US No trial, no preview: Must not have much confidence in your app if you dont let people even peak at what it is before buying. No thanks.. too many Apps out there to spend $11.99 without any idea what you are getting.
