A Great Workout App
One of the best apps of its kind! I rarely write reviews for apps, but this one makes me want to make an exception. I love everything this app has to offer. It is extremely easy to use, never lags or crashes, as some of the apps that I used. The workouts are not tiring, yet effective. They also take not that much time, but you can literally feel how your muscles get stronger. You can also try various challenges, which spices up the routine and keeps it interested. It is a perfect option for you if you don’t like gyms but want to melt some excess fat. I also want to mention the diet plan, because that was the thing that caught my interest and made me download it in the first place. So, your meal plan is completely customized, I believe it is a once-in-a-lifetime finding for vegans, cause I’ve heard that it is rarely that apps offer you a decent vegan meal plan. Anyway, you won’t regret downloading this app for sure!Show lessHoopsters12
Loving this
I had back surgery a few months ago. I am 68 and looking to get back in shape. Last year at this time I was 121. Two weeks ago I was 160. With being home recovering and with the pandemic; this 5’5 foot person was OUT OF CONDITION and feeling miserable. I couldn’t get through my day without sugar be it candy or cakes or ice cream. I was eating junk food for my meals. My only exercise was from a comfy chair to the fridge or pantry and back. 😬😎 I don’t have those cravings anymore. I have followed this program with ease. It keeps me on track and I am down 7 pounds. I expect to be 130 by end of September. I am never hungry between meals and the exercises are awesome. You put as much energy as you’d like for 15-18 minutes and your done. You can add more if you’d like. I like to walk and add walking every day. Something I couldn’t do before my back surgery. Lastly, it keeps me accountable. I used to talk myself into sugary this or that but if I stay true to this program; the results will be a happier and more fit me!!!Show lessPurdue70
Not worth the money you have to pay
For the cost of using this program it could be set up much better. The food tracker part is seriously lacking. I can not even accurately use it. So I’m paying monthly to use the app, but I have to use a completely different app to accurately track food which is a hassle. The food can only be recorded in ounces. If I am eating a cheese stick on the go, I have no idea how many ounces it is. If you scan it on the app it may show up as a kraft Colby cheese stick, but you still can only document it in ounces. You can’t just log one cheese stick with the correct nutrients. Several items I have used are not in the database. If you have to manually enter the item, you can only enter the calories. When watching carbs, proteins, and fats, only being able to record calories is not efficient. All the food that is not in the database for this app are in the database on other apps with accurate measurements. Any challenges you want to do have to be paid for on top of the regular cost. The program is not that well set up to account for the cost of using it. There are much better apps available that are significantly cheaper.Show lesssunflower652
Not worth the $
I really wanted to give this a try. Had the free version for a while so said why not. The workouts are tailored to your goals which is rlly a nice touch and different than any other app I have used. They get points for that.
But! And it’s a big BUT. After purchasing there’s not really anything added from the free version aside from simple log/tracking, most of which it just grabs from the iPhones health app anyway. You get these ads for extra “challenges” that are like 30-60$, not included. The tracker doesn’t let you log your own work outs which you will need to do some Bc theirs feels like it misses a few things. It tends to force quit when doing the outdoor walk/running work outs. The meal logging also makes you do some guess work as to the weight of any item you eat so it’s not so accurate.. That being said, You will end up using several other apps to fill in where this one fails. They do have a great IG account with plenty of challenges and food/diet recommendations. They have a support person on your account you can reach out to as well which is nice. But again, There’s no reason to spend your money here, the price is kind of outrageous for an app considering how much better the competition is in this space.Show lessmrstealyomeme

I started using this App yesterday. Already have huge agitations. Let’s start with the Calorie tracker. I have used other meal log/ macro Apps that are way easier and less time consuming. For example if I meal prep I should be able to copy the meals from the day prior into my next day of tracked meals instead of individually typing items all over again, the food items are scaled to Oz even though they are inputted as grams which is time consuming to go and covert the serving unit every single time. Now let’s talk about the workout. Day 1 was labeled Brazilian Booty in which there was no glute exercise. This is a full body workout that had abs and shoulders. The movements being demonstrated are jerky and fast lacking in proper form/technique. I DO HOWEVER enjoy the way the workout is designed so you can move along with it, timer and everything. Water tracker, if I accidentally click too many times I see no way of deleting my mistake in order to accurately track water intake over time. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST the app opens you to another item to sign up for (which also costs) once you have already paid for the services, I chose one that says “ live coach access” where is the live coach ?
Well I’ll see how I do in the end I already paid but I will be sure not to continue the subscription once completed. This app has such great potential just really needs to tighten things up for efficiency and accuracy.Show lessCharlyn95

I got the app years ago & have been in a love/hate relationship with it since. When it first came out the exercises were not as detailed as they are now and I was impressed with the updates they made until the most recent update. I started using the app faithfully (with a faithful monthly subscription) since March but since the last update, last week I believe, every time I open the app their challenges pop up and I have to click on joining one just to be able to get to the home screen. I refuse to pay an extra $10-30 for a challenge when the app barely allows me to enter my meals daily because elf the limited food selection. I shouldn’t have to go through the challenges just to get to the home page to perform my workout, log my weight for the week, or log my water for the hour.
Update: I agree with other reviewers, this app is a scam! It’s not worth the $9.99/month. The calorie counter section does not include many options the barcode scanner does not pick up barcodes leaving you to enter them on your own. It does not let you go back and fix previous day entries (i.e., water intake from the previous day), if you do a different workout aside from the one assigned to you in the app or in a different app it does not count towards your progress for the day. It is pt worth it.Show lessOfficialNerd

I haven’t been using this app for too long so I don’t think I’ve seen all flaws if there are any. But I think it’s great, I love the quizzes to give on nutrition and exercising. There is one thing, the tracker to see how many steps you take is great. Although I’m not sure if it’s tracking when I’m driving as well. I don’t know if it knows when you’re going too fast and that you’re not walking, but if it doesn’t I wish you could turn off the tracker temporarily or be able to edit the number. But besides that this app is great.
Edit: Like I said this app is great but then apparently I’ve been using premium features I guess? I don’t know but all I know is that I’ve been tracking my calories, water in take, doing quizzes and getting my steps in. Then I open the app today on home screen and it said get premium and it won’t let me access the home page. So I can’t use anything without paying and I’m not paying so I guess I’ll just delete the app.Show lessBrianna8362728
Could Be Great But Lacks Basic Functionality
This app could be great, but it lacks one important feature. I signed up on my iPhone with my Apple ID as my login. However, I like to work out with my iPad because the screen is bigger. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered there is no way to login to the app on my iPad with my Apple ID. There is only the option to login with my email. ‘No problem,’ I thought. I’ll set up an email login in my iPhone so I can login on my iPad. Reader, you can’t. There is no way to set up an email login if you signed up with an Apple ID login. I reached out to support and they said that even if I could login on my iPad (which I can’t), my workout info wouldn’t sync. What?! My other workout apps all sync across devices. It seems like that should be standard for any workout app these days.
I really like this app. The workouts are great and it has many cool features, but not being able to change my login so I can use my iPad and not having my info sync across my devices is a deal breaker for me. I’m canceling my subscription. Until they fix these issues, you’re better off choosing a different app.Show lessMs. Planet
Great idea
This app would be excellent if it was executed a bit better. I paid $20 for a year membership and would not pay a penny more. I feel bad for those who have paid $120. The calorie counter is not at all user friendly. Half the foods I search for are not there. I can’t log that I’ve eaten one hard boiled egg, I have to log the exact grams or ounces of egg I’ve eaten. Honestly, that’s way to much work for a full day of meals. I wish that when adding in calories you could add the macros from that item as well. The workouts are good, but there is no timer or beeping so that you know when to switch to the next workout. It’s annoying to constantly look over at my phone so that I know when to switch exercises. It’d be nice if there were like 5 seconds between exercises to change positions. That way I’m not wasting time going from a squat to laying down for sit ups. You also can’t restart the timer for a set once it’s started. There are lots of little things about this app that just make it not worth it to me.Show lessBawnquisha
Disappointing
While I want this app to be great it is not. It looks pleasing to the eye but the ease of use is poor. The calorie tracking is off, they offer you recipes with the option to press “log” but pressing that does nothing. You still have to manually log in the meal. It’s very frustrating. I like the fitness training portion of it but it’s not guided by voice or ANYTHING. so you have to stare at your screen to see when the time is up and you move on to the next exercise .rearing your neck around to check the time is counterproductive. Plus you have to manually press next through a lot of the warmups . So basically you kind a need to hold your phone or have it so close because you need to touch it to proceed. I’m super disappointed . I paid 60$ so I’m using the app but most def using Lifesum app for my food calculator. If they could make the fitness portion guided, and update the food tracker to reflect the content that they put into the app logging wise it would make this app much better and user friendly. The exercises are good and I do feel like I’m getting a good workout. Also the recipes are good too.Show lessBlongirl220
