★★★★★ "The app became unusable. Somehow, it's ruined. It started tracking steps and logging random walks. If I disable the steps permission, it stops syncing all workouts and doesn't allow me to add manually. If I re-enable steps, it logs countles…" - Ale G

The app became unusable. Somehow, it's ruined. It started tracking steps and logging random walks. If I disable the steps permission, it stops syncing all workouts and doesn't allow me to add manually. If I re-enable steps, it logs countless past walks at once. It's not worth the trouble.

Nao funciona no meu Galaxy S25 Plus. Quando vou fazer.um check-in ele fecha.
after update i cant update what my watch posts... it says cant post in the future ????? whatever that means, there is not even a date to alter clearly a bug. also it double uploads every time from samsung health and google health so i wish it could understand those two are the same thing....
Cant even start the app. When i press "I'm ready" to agree the tos, the button disappears but nothing happens after. Its a shame because the app looks interesting
tentei fazer conta ontem, tentei fazer conta hoje. mas só não faz, nem com Google nem com email. ao apertar no Google, trava o app, ao apertar no email, deixa o app em tela preta. app não serve para nada
kind of frustrated with this app. it doesn't connect automatically with my fitbit. I have to keep refreshing and sometimes even that doesn't work. I'll see the update days later.
i cannot even set up my account. I can upload my picture but cannot type my name in as the keyboard is not popping up. Tried restarting my phone, the app, uninstalling the app and reinstalling...
dando problema pra subir atividade
Poor ui, bad design, not intuitive, doesn't support Google Fit.
don't get data automatically from device
Horrible app. So many reliability issues. Uploading media almost never works.
Cannot read data from health apps, I tried installing Google Fit, FitBit, and Garmin yet, GymRats is unable to read data from Health Connect to record a check-in. When I open the health apps I clearly see the data, I have accepted all the right permissions and in the logs, I see that GymRats accesses data from Health Connect but it shows the message "No activities from Health Connect yet..."
The app does not sync with my watch and I even paid for the subscription.
It's not what I thought it was. You have to show evidence of a workout via photo or device. Basically, you can't track your workouts if you lift weights. Am I going to take a photo of my gym every morning? Is there a way to track it? I'm not sure
it doesn't open even though I've updated it already "app has stopped" over and over again it's been dayssss
integração com o galaxy S21 não está funcionando. Não consigo registrar minhas atividades
Suddenly it stopped sync
It doesn't work on Android nor synchronize with Samsung Health or Galaxy Watch.
a lot of bugs in chat and post activity, no connect to strava (this is basic for me)
faltou integração com relógio Huawei
Unfortunatelly my check-ins are not captured as expected for the group competition :(
The new update is horrible, with unnecessary options like eating, drinking, studying, and reading, plus it has bugged all the group customizations.
I like the app but after the latest update it stopped working with Google Health. I'm able to get workouts from Hevy directly but from Zepp to Health to here, not working anymore.
bad integration with other bands
Doesn't synchronise properly via Google connect and as an android user this is quite frustrating.
Great app. But me and a legion of people still waiting for the integration with Xiaomi smartwatches through the Zepp system.
the widget is not updating with the picture from the latest workout added to the challenge, and it doesn't show my picture even if I just logged on last
won't sync with fitness devices
