★★★★ Giorgos D 11/23/2025 v2025.10.1
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
★★★★ Thalyson Nepomuceno 11/15/2025 v2025.9.4
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

★★★★ Hania W 8/26/2025 v2025.7.16
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...
★★★★ Renan Vasconcelos 8/12/2025 v2025.7.16
dando problema pra subir atividade
★★★★ Jeff Campbell 8/4/2025 v2025.7.16
Poor ui, bad design, not intuitive, doesn't support Google Fit.
★★★★ Eduardo Hennemann de Oliveira 5/22/2025 v90
don't get data automatically from device
★★★★ Carlos Moro 5/17/2025 v90
Horrible app. So many reliability issues. Uploading media almost never works.
★★★★ Seth Gyekye-Boateng 5/7/2025 v90
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..."
★★★★ Alicia Adams 5/2/2025 v82
The app does not sync with my watch and I even paid for the subscription.
★★★★ Chris Holliday 4/25/2025 v82
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
★★★★ Rebeca Lisboa 4/16/2025 v82
it doesn't open even though I've updated it already "app has stopped" over and over again it's been dayssss
★★★★ Leandro Giordani 3/11/2025 v78
integração com o galaxy S21 não está funcionando. Não consigo registrar minhas atividades
★★★★ Marylly Silva 3/7/2025
Suddenly it stopped sync
★★★★ Taynã Piccirillo 2/7/2025 v70
It doesn't work on Android nor synchronize with Samsung Health or Galaxy Watch.
★★★★ Thairlan Anjos 1/12/2025 v70
a lot of bugs in chat and post activity, no connect to strava (this is basic for me)
★★★★ Carol Pettirossi 1/6/2025 v70
Péssima integração com Samsung Health. Simplesmente não funciona com android.
★★★★ simple man 1/5/2025
Terrible. Doesn't pair up with devices Only works if you have your phone on like an arm band or in your pocket. There are much better apps out there.
★★★★ Bruno Hensel 11/9/2024
Android experience sucks bug time. The app does not sync automatically with Fitbit or Google Fit, and it has no business getting access to gallery folder or camera to force you take a picture to do the check-in.
★★★★ Jed 11/8/2024 v67
Avoid if using Android. Doesn't automatically import activities from Google Fit, even when Health Connect is enabled. Even after manually adding activities, no points are given. My colleagues with iPhones have no similar problems. Seems this company prioritizes iOS development.
★★★★★ Sami P 1/11/2026 v2025.12.27
Unfortunatelly my check-ins are not captured as expected for the group competition :(
★★★★★ Caio Nogueira 12/4/2025 v2025.12.3

★★★★★ M Carolina da Silva 5/21/2025 v90
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.
★★★★★ Fábio Kock 5/13/2025 v90
bad integration with other bands
★★★★★ Carol Pereira 3/5/2025 v76
Doesn't synchronise properly via Google connect and as an android user this is quite frustrating.
★★★★★ Eduardo Rapanos 2/6/2025 v71
Great app. But me and a legion of people still waiting for the integration with Xiaomi smartwatches through the Zepp system.
★★★★★ Larissa Lucena 2/4/2025 v70
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
★★★★★ Angela Wise-Rhone 1/27/2025 v70
won't sync with fitness devices
★★★★★ Thiago Camargo 11/5/2024 v62
I love the concept but the app is buggy, if you add seconds it counts as days. It was working fine before the update
