Also steps are too steep. Also it automatically takes you to publish results in socks media. Bad UX all round and not recommended. ### 2/5 — Nice app.. but way too expensive *2020-12-02* C’mon guys...it’s a gif with a chronometer...nothing fancy...put it at 2€ and you’ll have paying for your “efforts”!! ### 4/5 — Все очень просто *2020-10-12* И без излишеств, только непонятно зачем делать перерыв каждые три дня ### 4/5 — Main focus *2020-07-04* This app does good for anyone who really wants to strengthen your core, I use this app along side of using the wheel to really help my get my core back in good shape.. Don’t forget to get more cardio into your workout so not only you feel the muscle tightening back up but you will be able to see the results as well...i like the company because they also have the pushups & squat challenge.. ### 2/5 — Not good for seniors *2020-05-20* Sit-ups shown are not good for spine so I decided not to use this app. ### 2/5 — I need to be able to set my own times. *2018-07-06* This has preset times in the app. I am already well past the 20 second plank so I want to be able to put in my own times. Uninstalled ### 3/5 — It’s good but could be better *2018-07-06* The challenges start off easy enough but definitely do get tougher. Once you hit day 20ish the difficulty sets in. The timer doesn’t seem very accurate. I swear it changes speeds throughout each challenge. ### 4/5 — Все хорошо *2017-08-22* Нормальное приложение, выполняющее свою функцию ### 4/5 — Basic but good *2017-08-11* App is basic but good at what it is. The optional daily reminders are nice, and the timer function is what I really needed. The daily progression of 7 additional seconds is doable - but after a rest day (which do seem a bit frequent), it jumps by 14sec instead. Which I know doesn't sound like a lot, but once you are really pushing your limits can be too challenging. I wish there were a way to select frequency of rest days and to reduce the time increase after them to the same 7 sec, but overall a good app for what it does. ### 4/5 — Definitely works :) *2017-03-16, version 27.1.2* And works well. If you're thinking about it you can do it. Excellent pace for building strength. There are 6 levels at 30 days each. So that's 180 days and can be repeated to keep in shape. Each level adds a few seconds per day, rest day scheduled too. Very functional and enjoyable:) ### 4/5 — Super App! *2017-03-13* Es macht Spaß mit der App zu trainieren. Auch die anderen Apps aus derselben Reihe sind super. Sehr praktisch durch das Video, das immer mitläuft! ### 2/5 — Don't bother *2017-02-07, version 27.1.2* OK, but not worth five dollars, should be free ### 4/5 — Bom app *2017-01-23* Ajuda muito quem tem opinião!!!!! ### 5/5 — Хорошо, но... *2016-09-21* Не даёт авторизоваться на новом телефоне. Программа принуждает повторно приобрести про-версию. PS разобрался, нужно восстановить покупку Pro перед восстановлением статистики. Нетривиально, но заработало! Поэтому 5 звёзд!)) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Обман *2018-04-09* Приложение вымогает подписку под видом логина. Это обман ### 1/5 — Реклама закрывает кнопки *2017-07-02* Реклама закрывает кнопки, закончить упражнение в силу этого невозможно. Достаточно убогий способ заставить купить pro версию. ### 1/5 — Take another one *2017-03-29, version 27.1.2* Better apps are available ### 1/5 — Are you kidding??? *2016-09-05* Just downloaded the app and wanted to get started, but when I try to create an account to try it out, it doesn't let you do that. Instead you can only option you have is to "upgrade to pro". Without doing that, you cannot do ANYTHING on this app! Ridiculous. A shame too, since it looks like a nice simple app to work with. Creators, can you fix this? ### 1/5 — Porn *2016-08-20, version 2.4* Pop-up ad for porn site. ### 1/5 — iTunes updare *2016-08-06* My husband and I are both using the app at Level 2. Since the app updated a few days ago, the plank times are about four times longer than previously. Day 4 was over 4 minutes, Day 1 is now 3 40, which is quite aggressive. Please correct the app. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2016-06-21, version 2.1* At day 25 out of 30 the app makes you upgrade to continue! What?! It's not like there aren't enough ads on there. Aside from that, it's pretty good but I feel majorly ripped off. ### 1/5 — ужасный баг *2016-03-31* зависло на обновлении и ничего не даёт сделать с иконкой приложения ### 1/5 — Plank Challenge *2016-02-06, version 1.8* Free service is only 24 day challenge. On day 25 you have to upgrade to continue. I've switched to another free service ### 1/5 — Junk *2016-01-25, version 1.8* Can you make it to Day 30? Only if you Upgrade to Pro on Day 25...really? Has too many bugs, like resetting to Day 1 overnight, losing all previous tracking. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple, and very effective. *2020-07-13* The worse reviews are just because of the difficulty. You can make it easier or harder just by pressing the star at the top right and choosing a level. I agree with one review saying that after the quite frequent rest days, it adds 14 seconds to your time to plank, which IMO is a lot. The app doesn’t have any glitches and the ads are fine. I like the little reminders they send you. Only complaint is that the rest days are quite frequent and there is no way to change them. I think all it needs is some more customization (like being able to add or subtract time to make it easier or harder, or being able make the rest days more or less). Either way, the app is great, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants nice abs!!! ### 5/5 — Good! *2019-09-07* Bem legal a progressão de exercícios. Mal vejo a hora de completar meus primeiros 30 dias e ver o resultado!! ### 5/5 — Review *2019-06-20* This app help me with my core and makes me stronger day by day . All you got to do is do it everyday ### 5/5 — Social invitation to challenge *2018-03-10* Haven't had a chance to use app yet but would love to see an option to invite other friends that use app to challenge and be notified when they complete their challenge for the day. Similar concept with fitbits. Looking forward to using the app for challenges! ### 5/5 — Best plank challenge *2017-06-20* I tried several apps before this, but that's the only one that I'm happy with. I upgrade to the full version, and I will use it for months. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2017-06-03* Really like seeing my progress using this app! ### 5/5 — 👍🏻💪🏻 *2017-04-20* Удобная программа, идет обратный отсчет секунд, можно поставить на паузу и возобновить треню через какое-то время. Правда мне пока пауза не нужна, 30 сек я и так отстоять могу))). Учтены выходные дни, чтобы мышцы восстанавливались. ### 5/5 — Excellente *2017-03-31* J adore ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2017-01-21, version 27.1.0* Simple and straightforward ### 5/5 — Buen reto *2016-10-02* Me gusto la app para el reto plank --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
