★★★★★ "You Ruined It. Logged on today to an update. Short story: nothing works now. Won’t sync with my Apple Watch. Ruined what would have been a great workout. Thanks for nothing. Will be canceling my subscription after nearly two years. Pretty poor!" - iOS Version Doesnt Work

Too expensive
Canceled right after downloaded due to price and they still charged me super disappointing!
New update is annoying
Whatever y’all did made the app worse, when I’m working out and tracking it and go to edit my reps or weight it keeps asking if I want to update everywhere or just that exercise. Maybe it’s a setting now but please fix this. When I’m training to failure or trying to increase my max rep or weight it’s annoying AF to be asked EVERY TIME if I want to update it everywhere. No I just want to in that page and workout day.
You Ruined It
Logged on today to an update. Short story: nothing works now. Won’t sync with my Apple Watch. Ruined what would have been a great workout. Thanks for nothing. Will be canceling my subscription after nearly two years. Pretty poor!
Subscription
Thought this was free till I saw $10/month. I’m not paying that
SCAM!
I don’t get it!!!!
I paid $39.99, now every single workout i cannot do because it needs for me to UPGRADE again!! The free version is better!!!
Do not subscribe!!!

New update broke app for me.
New update (7.8.2) broke AI features specifically the paste text feature. Message says “Error Importing Routine: Detected content likely to be unsafe”, however I only wrote “Monday” in prompt. This severely cripples the features I use for adding gym workouts fast.
I have tried reinstalling app, turning off Apple AI (and resetting), latest software iOS 26.4 using a iPhone 17 pro max.
I have a premium+ account.

Meh
Nice workouts. Very expensive. Too “clicky”, too many buttons to push. Doesn’t support circuits which is the only way I workout.
Not that good
Only reason downloaded this app cause it was recommended by Apple but it’s not that good. There are other apps which are far better than this.
Not feeling it
Logging isn’t very good and very often doesn’t record sessions. No ability to change either. Skipping a routine sometimes throws the whole thing off
Not great.
Way too many limitations, bugs and flaws for the price point.
Expensive $60
Requires full year paid. Unable to use app at all otherwise. Wasted my time setting it up and reading through it to not get any benefit from it.
Glitchy
Randomly starts over before finishing a full set and cannot delete progress for today to try to start it over. Instead it wants to finish set 3 of 3 on some while I haven’t even got halfway through the list.
I have 16 pro with ultra 2 both with the last updates of iOS & the app.
