Not what it used to be
This app has really gone downhill. I started using it in 2020 and it was affordable, my advisor was responsive, and I felt good about it. After a few months though, my advisor just stopped ever responding or acknowledging me, so I switched advisors and every single one I tried after that was worse than the one before. Since then there have been so many price increases but the value hasn’t increased. Canned responses and tips from advisors. Never providing any new tips or information. Zero personalization. Saved meals get deleted. The app crashes constantly and I get logged out. If I’m not mistaken, there used to be a free version of the app for macro tracking only and now that option isn’t available. Because I get no value from having an advisor, I’d be happy to use free version that let me track, or even one that’s $2 or $3 per month, but it’s currently not worth the cost of subscription. Every time I try to renew my subscription, within a month or two I’m reminded why I canceled in the first place. Super disappointing. I’ll still continue to recommend the products, however, with the constant increases the whole company is becoming cost prohibitive for its users across the board.

This app has the one thing you won’t find anywhere else
I’m going to share several key things, so I hope the review serves you as well as this app and community have served me.
First, the App has everything (all bells & whistles) you need in one place to succeed. How do I know? With the guidance in the app, I’m back down to a weight I haven’t seen since 2015. The important thing about this is that it’s NOT just about the workouts. They are critical, but when was the last time you tried a fitness app for workouts and you didn’t achieve the results you wanted? For me. Not only do I get a slew of workout plans that fit my needs, but the key thing that all of the other apps miss is coaching. You actually get a coach and someone that holds you accountable, that you can message with questions and will care just as much as you care.
If you’re the type of person who’s serious about your success, knows that you can’t do it alone and that it takes a village and is willing to put in the work so that you can achieve the life that you want to live, then this is the app for you.
Where’s what really interesting and the most critical realization though this journey: How you do anything is how you do everything. So by leveraging the tools, habits, community, and self-respect I’ve built for myself here, I’m also winning outside of fitness.
When you sign up you get assigned a coach. If you want to be around some winners, ask for Jicky.

OK, but you’ll likely need other apps.
This app is OK. I use it daily to track food, and that aspect works well-ish. However, there are a lot of shortcomings: - Can’t add your own supplements. Only 1st Phorm. If you use other supplements you can’t track them here, which means you need another app - Unless you exactly follow one of the workout programs, it’s essentially useless. You can use a custom workout, but you just type in notes. Another app needed. I wish activity functioned like nutrition. - No Apple Health integration, so you manually have to enter weigh ins. Nutrition entered doesn’t sync back to Apple Health. I use another app to track my weight. - Daily tasks - can’t add custom, so unless it’s the exact tasks that are in there, the checklist is not useful since you’ll need to use another app In summary, this app is not comprehensive, and there are much better options on the market. The only reason I use this is so my coach can see, but I’m even wondering the value of that. I think I would be better off sharing my Apple Health with him, and using apps that actually work (nutrition not withstanding)

A good app, but not for everyone
First the good: There are a lot of advisors and from what I could tell they all have the kinds of credentials you should be looking for: Legitimate CPTs and RDs with plenty of experience under their belts. But now the bad: If you’re starting from square one like I was and now still am, there is a case for spending more to work with someone in private practice. The problem is that the advisors are basically captains of teams that have many, many members, and if you’re like me and need somebody who can critique your food logs down to the smallest details and give you 1-to-1 undivided attention…you’ll be disappointed like I was. Support team tried their best to match me up (they’ll do that if you go to their website), but the kind of personalized fit wasn’t there for me because I needed a strict focus on 1-to-1. I guess I’ll have to settle for working with my life coach instead.
MINOR EDIT: I did talk to the team member who suggested I reach out to him, but when I told him what was needed we mutually agreed that it was more than their advisors could reasonably be expected give and I really had no choice but to walk away. I still don’t think it’s a bad concept, hence the middling rating of three stars, but if you have disordered eating problems and no access to a therapist, you’re going to find the advisors here won’t fit your needs.

Best App for Overall Health, Wellness, and Fitness
1st Phorm sets the standard when it comes to fitness and health. With only around $120 a year you get access to a fitness coach who can help guide you and hold you accountable to your actions. You could easily spend this much on one session with a personal trainer. 1st Phorm also educates you on how food, wellness, and fitness with daily live streams, which cover a good range of topics to how our bodies interact with food, impacts of sleep hygiene… etc. They simplify a very complex journey and make it so it fits beginners and experienced people all the same. An extra note my coach Seth Max is an amazing coach/human whom has helped me loose close to 50 lbs since the start of this year (6 months). Seth responds quickly to messages and gives detailed personalized answers to every question I have asked. Plus Seth has been great at encouraging me and pushing me, and holding me accountable when I need it as well.

Best Fitness App
Hands down the best fitness app, has almost everything together. You get a personal advisor on top of that with a very small monthly sub plan.
Paid
I saw it on Insta video and downloaded. Everything paid when influencer claim all free
The app is okay
Ive been using this app for a little over a month and found it alright. I like that they have motivational videos and tracking your weekly goals. Unfortunately the food tracking felt unfinished as a product. A lot of the food I scanned wasn’t in the database. I ended up having to use My Fitness Pal to measure food, and that app is free for the basic version.
Overall, I was not happy with the experience and request a refund.
