Trash
Complete trash. They don’t let you get a free trial like all other apps and like they advertise online and when I paid, the first work out it gave me is push ups and sit ups. Are you kidding me? Complete waste of money. I really want a refund.
Start Workout Button not working
Just downloaded and paid the monthly subscription and the “start workout” button stop working. Going on 2 days now
Unstable
Keeps crashing. Lost sets in workouts. Doesn’t save. Garbage
Bugs, workout
So much bugs - like wont record the workout after a workout or won’t start or open at times. Also limited workouts or exercises.
Waste of time
Can’t get any workout plans without a subscription
Major issues with latest build and watch synchronization
Been using this app for over a year and recently it’s been giving me way too many issues. When running the workout from the Apple Watch, it constantly loses connectivity to my iPhone which screws up my session being recorded properly. A few times the app completely crashed my watch and messed up the session. It’s been working great for a while but recent builds have been buggy. I don’t have any other crashes on my Apple Watch outside of when I run this app.
Unnecessarily complicated
Not as straight forward as they claim very few options in the app. This apps exercises are very generic you are better served searching the web. Not worth the money I’m trying to get a refund.
It’s okay
Can’t train the AI. Just does what it wants. Crazy focus on legs. Zero core exercises. Misses most of the small important muscles that help you not sustain injuries. 100% don’t recommend.
App not working
I signed up and it charged me a year subscription. I answered all the intro info and then it said training model for like 30 min and never worked. Tried redownloading the app, still didn’t work. Now it tres to reset up my profile and then just kicks me out. I want a refund
No keyboard on iPad
Was super hyped to give this app a whirl. Imagine my disappointment when I can’t even type anything in to set the app up. Clicking in a text box brings up some weird ai dialog thing but no keyboard. I realize this is optimal on an iPhone but I use many apps meant for iPhone on my iPad, yes they display small but they still work. Please fix this issue as I did see another review with the same problem. I’d really like to try this app!
Total garbage app
I’m very disappointed with this app they paint you the big picture and is not what it is ! I requested for a full refund from them and Apple and they refused to refunded me back my money! I’ll be seeking legal action against them and Apple for false advertising and deceiving people
No keyboard on iPad
I downloaded the app on my iPad. The app opens small since it was made for an iPhone, no big deal. However I cannot type anything into the app because the keyboard will not open when tapping a text box. The app is unusable in this state.
Scam
It's a total scam is not free and that's a false advertisement
F
App doesn't work without creating an account
CrossFit trash
Weird movements. Seems like it’s made for influencers.
Bad UX
Very bad ux compared to other similar apps. Requires you to save workout each time you make an edit and very complicated to start a different workout other than the very next one on your schedule. Little room to customize. Too bad
Copycat
This app is a straight up Fitbod copycat with and algorithm and design that is way worse
No Apple Watch connectivity
Should have done more research, not really a fan of using multiple devices to track my workout
Cheap knock-off
Save your money. This is just a cheap knock-off of Fitbod. The features are a basic copy without any finesse or depth, making it a poor substitute.
White screen
Couldn’t complete the setup because of white screen.
Too many bugs
Used it off and on for a while. Apple watch support is poor. Like it when it works but too many crashes, sound bugs, timer bugs, inconsistencies.
More Fexibilitu
The app does ok, but the biggest and maybe fatal flaw is that it only allows for limited muscle groups to be excluded
Strength score
The strength score is an absolute joke. You can’t measure strength like that. What because I don’t lift certain movements I’m not strong? Seriously take it out and the app would be fine
Not free like advertised
I guess you only get a couple free. I wish it was like it was advertised as a free work app
Trial was cut short
So I guess they let you use it for a few workouts to see if you like it well, my first workout didn’t go as planned so I had to regenerate it then second workout it went pretty well. By the time I got to the third workout I had the wrong equipment and I was trying to get any workout routines and I guess I’m maxed out and didn’t really get to try seems a little glitchy and not the right app for me. There’s a lot of other options out there that are not as difficult.
Better option- Shred
Interface is slow and clunky. iPhone app does not connect consistently. Ai on other platforms as good if not superior.
