Don’t use the app

Do not like this new ‘upgrade”. They did away with the GWJ content and completely changed the app…for the worse.

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear the changes haven't met your expectations. We're continually working to improve the app and appreciate your thoughts as they help guide future updates. Give us a chance!

In total agreement with other angry GWJ supporters

I can’t say much more than other reviewers already have, but can reiterate this is not a cool way to do business. I chose Grow with Jo because of her, the ability to do her program at home, and most important because of her faith in the Lord! I see this rebrand is phasing out Jo and any inkling of God, while replacing prayer and scripture references with “meditations & affirmations”. I will absolutely be figuring out how to request a refund and follow Jo wherever her program goes. No thanks “Radiance”.
Update 10/16: the developers of the Radiance app replied to my request for a refund saying they will not issue a refund due to my subscription already being past 14 days. Aside from that nonsense they told me that I will have access to all of Jo’s content on the app until my subscription ends July 2025. Today I try to open the app to do one of Jo’s workouts and all of her content is completely gone and oddly enough a bunch of the other ridiculously content I don’t care to access is now showing locked?! So you took my money, lied about still being able to access Jo’s content, and now have basically locked me out of actually utilizing the app. “Companies” with business ethics like this won’t get far. Shame on you Radiance.

Thank you for your feedback, BriKVineyard. For several years, we co-created this app with Jo. However, she has decided to go her own way. This doesn’t mean that users are losing access to the app. Everyone who purchased access for Jo’s content will have access to her workouts until the end of their subscription period. The app will continue to evolve, and soon there will be plenty of new content. Give Radiance a chance!

Stealing Grow with Jo fans $$$! Shame on Radiance.

Previously grow with Jo app. They are not telling users that the app is no longer grow with Jo - trying to steal peoples money. Not transparent.

Response from developer

Hi Etak97! We informed customers about the transition from Grow with Jo to Radiance through our website, in the app, and via email. While we’ve made changes, we’re not trying to deceive anyone, and all users who subscribed before the rebranding still have access to Jo's content until the end of their billing period. We're sorry if the transition felt unclear. If you have any concerns, we’re here to help! 💜✨

Totally different app now

I joined for grow with Jo but the app has completely changed so I’ll be removing it and downloading her new app.

Response from developer

Hello! Jo has taken a different direction after our partnership ended, and Radiance is moving forward on its own. We’ve already introduced some amazing new workouts and programs that we think you’ll really enjoy. Stay tuned, because we’re just getting started with more exciting content! 💜

Hacked???

Why does it seem like this app was hacked? It was Growwithjo, and suddenly it’s Radiance with no warning. I woke up one day, and it had changed—no transition, no familiar features. When I clicked on the meals section, I got an unexpected application error. Please do not renew my subscription.

Response from developer

Hi, Jo decided to follow her own path as our contract ended, and Radiance is now an independent app. Before the change, we sent 2 messages to our users' inboxes informing them of the changes. We were concerned by the mention of the bug you experienced, please send us a message in this regard to our e-mail address: contact@joinradiance.com If you would like to cancel your subscription, also please send a message to the above address.

No one explained why GrowithJo is now Radiance

I didn’t receive notice that Growwithjo was taken over by radiance.

Response from developer

We're sorry to hear that you didn't receive this information. Each of our users was sent an email informing them of the changes. Please reach out to us, and we'll be happy to verify the situation for you.

Shady af

Pretty shady what they’ve done with Jo’s app, just changing it to their own and using all the reviews from the previous app, using someone else’s hard work and creativity.

Response from developer

Hi, Jo decided to follow her own path as our contract ended, and Radiance is now an independent app. We’ve created various new programs and workouts that we think you'll love, and we intend to expand that list very soon. We can assure you that no one has been robbed of content!

Took away Mom programs

Hi there. From what I can see the Pregancy and Postpartum programs have been taken off the app since it went from grow with jo to Radiance. I’m super disappointed as that’s the only reason I got the app. Please add them back or offer a refund

Anonygirl1, please reach out to us via the contact form. Our team will definitely propose a solution for you.

What happened to Jo

I noticed that the name of the app changed and most of Jo’s workouts will be removed soon, why did that happen?

Response from developer

Hi love! At this moment we don't have a free-trial for the app, but I would love to answer any questions you might have about it! Feel free to email me at contact@growwithjo.app and I will help you out!

I loved grow with jo… the new update to radiance is a problem

When i had my first son in 2020 i downloaded this app and paid for 1 year of membership, I managed to lose all my baby weight, feel strong and eat well while my brain was fully baby focused and i was breastfeeding by the end of the year. I didnt renew my membership because i was happy with where I was and had learned alot. Fast forward to 2024 I am having my second baby. I downloaded “growwithjo” again because of the positive experience i had originally. It seems the app has changed significantly, 1 being the “add ingredients to instacart”, this used to be easy and convenient, now it doesnt actually work the way it used to and only uses US stores not stores in your area. 2. It’s increasingly harder to find the work out programs, looking for 3rd trimester programs on the main page doesnt work, i have to find 2nd Tri and hope it suggests the 3rd.

3. -the most important to me- the meal plan: what used to be brilliantly designed has become an ugly headache, no pictures and sometimes it crashes the app entirely, click on a title and get an error message, cant go back cant refresh just have to close out the app. Not having pictures of the meals but having a spot for photos is simply an eye sore.

All together im very disappointed in much purchase. To be clear i purchased the year while it was still grow with jo and not even a week into my membership it updated to “radiance”. Never been more upset about a $70 purchase.
