  1. [R5] Peloton 5/5 · US Great app for everyone: I was using the peloton app simply for the bike and then threw on yoga and stretching my wife and kids. I just started doing the 20 minute weights workout, which is amazing as well. Not a lot of time wasted getting a mild sweat going targeted specific muscle groups daily.
  2. [R8] Peloton 5/5 · US Personalized stacks: I would like a feature will personal generated stacks
  3. [R9] Peloton 3/5 · US Playlists are gone for a majority of rides: Playlists are gone for the majority of rides. It would be really nice if I could at least see the genre of music tagged for those that don’t have a reference to it in the title.
  4. [R14] Peloton 5/5 · US Peloton: Fitness & Workouts , Yoga, Cardio & Gym Training: The most enjoyable accessible addictive fitness platform I’ve ever used as in I just couldn’t finish off a day without getting a peloton class in
  5. [R1] Peloton 1/5 · US Barely had this app an hour 🙄 for my neurodivergent folks this is NOT for you: A friend told me about the app and I am beyond disappointed. The interface of the app does not cater to neurodivergent individuals. The app is beyond complicated. I did a quiz to create a plan. Tells you what to do on which days etc. I cannot locate that plan ANYWHERE for me to go back and review etc when I’m ready. Thi
  6. [R12] Peloton 3/5 · US No convenient way to search programs: Cannot filter to find Programs that are relevant to me, even after following the trouble shooting tips online. This is basic stuff!
  7. [R44] Peloton 2/5 · US Stack and Workout Schedule editing bugged since update 15.125.0: Please fix the new bugs, it’s very annoying not being able to edit my workout schedule or rearrange my stacked classes. The dragging and dropping feature of these is bugged.
  8. [R48] Peloton 2/5 · US Good programming. Annoying app: I've been subscribed to Peloton for over 8 years and have been a regular user of both the apps and the bike (I'm considered Legend on their loyalty tiers, though as far as I can tell that doesn't mean anything). Over the past several months, Peloton has taken to delivering an in app pop up literally every time I open the app. They are constantly bombarding me with a
  9. [R3] Peloton 3/5 · US App not usable for 5 days: Peloton upgrade crashes the app on start up. Peloton identified the issue but the app is still broken still 5 days later. This is unacceptable. The fact that this is an identified issue and still broken 5 days later is insane. Where is the update?
  10. [R4] Peloton 2/5 · US Please fix issues with Apple Watch syncing: There’s nothing more frustrating than starting a ride after you’ve launched the app on your phone and tapped connect and started the ride and you’re minutes in and come to find out the app is not synced with the bike and yes eventually it connects but then the workout app on Apple Watch only starts tracking from THAT point forward even though Peloton tra
  11. [R6] Peloton 3/5 · US Crashing since last iOS update: Worked great until last iOS update. Now can crash every use…
  12. [R7] Peloton 1/5 · US Constant Crashing - Unusable: After 26.5.2 update on iPhone, app crashes immediately or within a few seconds of startup. The app is currently unusable.
  13. [R42] Peloton 1/5 · US Too Expensive: I really wanted to like the peloton bike + app but the subscription model completely ruined it for me. After spending a premium price on the bike itself, it’s ridiculous that so many features are locked behind yet another ridiculously high monthly fee. You’d think owning the bike would give you access to the basic functionality, but instead it feels like you’re renting a part of a p
  14. [R50] Peloton 1/5 · US Bike is now paperweight: After paying thousands of dollars for a Peloton, they discontinued classes and bike is no longer anything more than a stationary bike. Don’t trust this company.

  16. [R13] Peloton 1/5 · US App Crashing: App has been crashing since the latest update
  17. [R21] Peloton 5/5 · US Walking outside: Wow why didn’t I try this before I walk outside once a week to take my break from the bike how motivating to have Rebecca Kennedy and Olivia Amato. Music great encouragement great and help me stay focused and paced!
  18. [R33] Peloton 5/5 · US Obsessed with my Peloton: I started my peloton journey doing the cycling and then realized I can work my entire body with this one app and explore things I previously not done before like yoga. It’s really helped me become consistent.!
