★★★★ Clint Richards 5/2/2026
Deems like it may work, but it is also just another in the ever expanding list of apps that provide 0 value unless you're willing to pay monthly. Sad times
★★★★ Shane Harrison 4/30/2026 v1.42.2
facebook said its free but its not.
★★★★ Charlene Shawl 4/25/2026 v1.42.2

★★★★ Shebr8dbd krndjmck 4/22/2026 v1.42.2
charges for plans
★★★★ Zoilo Rivera 4/15/2026 v1.42.2
Couldn't even get it to open, screen just stayed blue 😂 uninstalled
★★★★ PERIWINKLE 45 4/15/2026 v1.42.2
are we serious? make me put all my info in and set a plan then tell me its a monthly or yearly bill? gtfo . thanks for the disappointment.
★★★★ Alexis Cruz 4/10/2026 v1.42.2
this app is good, but you always need to pay for everything I didn't liked that fact thats why I give this app 1 star
★★★★ Mountain Man63 4/8/2026
I thought it was free, but naturally it wasn't not even a $FREE.99 Trial! 😡😔😭
★★★★ Mahmoud Rezk 3/31/2026 v1.42.2
its not free
★★★★ Louie Balcazar 3/27/2026 v1.42
fix your app. the constant glitches, crashing, its frustrating.
★★★★ s Man 3/22/2026 v1.41.1
all they want is money
★★★★ Mr Cruz 3/22/2026
App is 2/10 for a beginner, but after using it u notice it gives u random muscle workouts Ex.Legs with Chest and bi's it really has no structure. I created my own workouts around what i needed it doesnt track accurately,doesnt allow muscle rest time. if ur just trying to get the flow of things just use for a month or 2 then fly on ur own theres no yearly benefit. Ai is great for some things but one of them is not tracking fitness progress. Use free trial and find another app. 👎👎
★★★★ Terry Thompson 3/22/2026 v1.41.1
disappointed every single time I try to set up the app it crashes even after uninstalling it time & time again , I dread to think what the actual app situation would be like if I did get it set up . Going back to Hevy great app & never let me down
★★★★ Linda Gant 3/19/2026 v1.41.1
I signed up for Gravl today and paid tje year upfront and set up a username and password but I am unable to get into the app as a user. a Trying to get help has been unsuccessful.
★★★★ Smithy 3/13/2026
1 star due to fake reviews claiming it's free to use. Many of the reviews are likely fake. Makes you fill out a bunch of information to surprise you with the subscription later, overall the app seems like it might be decent but I won't entertain the deceptive marketing.
★★★★ Alison Grainger 3/4/2026 v1.41.1
not a free app
★★★★ Mark Whitwill 3/1/2026 v1.38.3
Unfortunately the app kept crashing when trying to set up. This continued even after reinstalling and even when using an alternate mobile device. I'd love to try it if I could make the darn thing work.
★★★★ Theo Wenrick 2/26/2026
another subscription
★★★★ Melvin Prakasan 2/3/2026 v1.38.3
the app has been crashing on me for a few days now. quote disappointed
★★★★ Javier Lopez Gonzalez 2/2/2026
Missing a lot of exercises, and those the app offer are really simple, the worst I have paid for 3 hours of use.
★★★★ Matteo Del Sal 1/31/2026 v1.38.3
after the update doesn't work anymore
★★★★ John Besi 1/29/2026
subscription. just use your own a. i.
★★★★ Charlie Karabulut 1/29/2026 v1.38.3
You can't start from workout 2,you must do workout 1 first in order to use the app. If I download the app on Thurs let say and if I'm already on my day 2,3,4 of my gym routine, I'll need to replan whole thing which doesn't fit the purpose of "AI"
★★★★ Jim Wright 1/27/2026 v1.38.3
Horrible. The UI is just awful.
★★★★ J B 1/26/2026 v1.38.3
I thought Fitbod was bad! They are constantly changing things, custom workouts get changed, conflicting info on different reports, reps and weights don't follow user guidelines that are custom set. Don't waste your money. You'll spend more time correcting things.
★★★★ Xavier Jenkins 1/24/2026 v1.38.3
pay to use
★★★★ Andy Jasman 1/18/2026 v1.36.4
why is this app charging me twice for a years subscription
★★★★★ Chelsie Rivera 5/6/2026 v1.42.2
inconsistent in working. you can like one work out and not be able to select the next. for what it charges it runs like a free app.
★★★★★ David Goode 4/10/2026 v1.42.2
not free, starts asking for money immediately, also wastes time asking too many questions

★★★★★ Ibrahim Baz 3/24/2026
I used to find this app useful until I tried "Budy - Fitness Buddy" it's far better with less subscription fees.
★★★★★ Christopher Barnes 1/22/2026 v1.36.4
instead of paying a subscription, it should be a one time purchase. if it really is ai powered, why are we paying continuously for something that is left alone and someone else is making all the money, I don't like the trend of letting AI do the work and people put a price tag on it because they thought to come out with it. this is a great app, I can edit the workouts to be the exact same as my routine. two stars for continuously billing for something that generates on its own.
★★★★★ Kyle Rebstock 1/18/2026 v1.36.4
Update: Changing to a 2 until app is fixed. app crashes every time. You can't open a previous workout session if you added/edited/deleted a custom workout? oomph. Previous: well done. pretty good design design. Only 300 workouts, it's mostly machines. I've tried 32 apps and others have over 800! 10 minute warmups doesn't count calories.
