Not paying for some dumb AI app that I can't even try.
why the hell do you want a review before I even get to use the app?
asked for review after asking questions
I downloaded this app hoping for a fun, engaging way to track my workout progress, but it turned out to be something entirely different. Right from the start, the onboarding questions assume you're unhappy with yourself. For example, it asks, "When was the last time you were proud of yourself?" and the most recent option is "last week." I'm proud of myself every day, so the premise felt strange and unnecessarily negative. This is just a click bait app that feeds on depression.
I got as far as seeing it requires a subscription and noped out.
They charge money for everything. They don't give even a little thing for free. 😞👎
pay wall, dont bother, people who make little apps like these are going to HELP you? make ot free if you want to help!
No trial, straight to the money. the asking for a Subscription for a really basic "training" this is a scam.
not even a free trial is crazy.
interesting design. before actually using the app, it asks me to write a review and then goes on to ask for money.
the fact that you have to pay $25 to use this app which is nothing more than a checklist is ridiculous.
I don't know why I paid for a year. I thought it would be something different. Definitely not for me. I could see how this would be helpful for some people but for me it isn't. wasted money. canceled. if I could figure out how to get a refund I would.
Nothing but a "fancy" check list. Don't waste your money.
This is paid only. you can't ever try it without dropping 50 bucks on a subscription, what a rip. I'm not going to risk not being able to cancel it.
"Sure we can help you improve your life" "that'll be $15 a month"
not able to use without sub
dont waste your time unless your about to pay for the subscription....wish it would tell you that up front before wasting your time going through the tutorial
You have to pay just to use the app at all.
just started the app
they hit you for 50 bucks before they even show you the app
requires money, self improvement is free
They conviently leave out the part that its $15/month until you have already entered all your info. If you want to improve yourself, start by not wasting a dime on trash like this.
What a waste of time.. & the audacity to ask for a rating in this long drawn out process before you're told you gotta spend $50🤣😂🤣😂
This app wants money before you know ANYTHING about it. Biggest joke ever.
how are they gunna tell me to review when you can't even start without a required paid subscription? it sucks, I saw potential in this app. I'd be open to try it out for a free trial but they don't even give that. I'll update my review if they really do give a trial.
neat concept, paid subscription
no free version, no indication of what it actually does to help you. just a cash grab apparently.
I couldn't proceed the setup process without subscribing
Scam Subscription. it says the coach is supportive but then expects you to do all the talking rather than be an actual coach. the checklists will reset themselves despite your doing it. no wonder they expect you to pay for a subscription bc they just want your money.
I paid for a year but didn't open the app for like a month now it wants me to pay again. do now I cannot use the app and I'm out $50. I can't even get in to contact customer service so I have to complain here.
You have to pay to experience any bit of it -- just a scam for people not happy with themselves or their life.
Unusable without paying? That's fine, but be upfront about it. Don't get me to download your app, answer a bunch of questions, then stop me from continuing unless I pay a subscription.
well, it asked for a review before doing anything. then asked for a subscription before doing anything. Dawg helped improve my life by not wasting money on it.
wish I didn't commit $$ without a trial. no real depth or value for me
there is not much to the app pretty basic for the cost that there asking honestly you can find something free for what this has. if you just feel like having something like a game mechanic maybe worth it but even the ai coach is useless does do anything. feels more like a scam.
pay to play, more of the same bs.
Doesn't make it clear before you install that there isn't a free tier, which is crazy considering this is 90% AI slop from the beginning so it's not like they had to put in any effort.
Was really excited for the App... -They should make the app free, and have a monthly payment for premium users for cosmetics. I don't mind a subscription, but if my friends wont be in the app because it's behind a paywall, then I don't want it.
$50 just to even try it
was excited to try this but it's locked behind a pay wall. I don't mind paying, but not even a trial to see if I like it? $50 on a whim for a year is crazy imo. if there ends up being a trial then I'll readdress the review.
You have to pay before evening knowing what the app is all about. Turns out its just a checklist. Solo Grinding app is much more involved with challenges.
haven't used it yet so why am I giving a review
Paid subscription w/ no free trial. They'd have your money already before you can even test to see if this app is right for you- that is a huge red flag.
