Looped video, unreasonable expectations
First thing I noticed is that they stole some sounds from the Nintendo Wii (namely the sound when you click a button while on an interstitial screen, which takes you back to the Wii main menu.
Aside from that, it was easy to set up a routine based on the tools you have to work with (dumbbells, chair, bench, etc.) but I immediately lost interest when the first exercise was doing push-ups for two minutes. You're told to count how many you do, but I stopped the entire thing after 45 seconds of doing push-ups at the same speed I saw the girl in the video doing them. Why? Because she's only done ONE push-up! She's on a loop! So of course she can do push-ups for two minutes straight and not crash to the ground.
I was on the beginner setting and push-ups were supposed to last two minutes. I stopped at 45 seconds at the rate she was going. Lowering the intensity to the lowest setting granted me some slack and the exercise set lasts only a minute, but still... it's not very motivating knowing that girl's on a loop while you're doing the real work.
Reps would be a much better way to start out and be able to build up to more advanced routines, not the number of minutes spent doing a particular exercise.
I'd ask for my money back, but someone else paid for this app.

Great concept, but keeps crashing.
The app crashes when trying to add music to the playlist and if it does add some to the playlist, then it loses the tracks when the app is opened again.
Could also add a couple of more equipment options like gym ball, kettle ball etc. Could also do with some options to select either a strength or stamina building workout; I think this is a blend of workouts. It would also be good to select or know more about the type of exercise and if they are compound or isolation or if they are grouped into, e.g. body part focus, core, explosive, superset, push/pull, post-exhaustion, drop set, back-off set, pyramid, wave loading, unilateral or cluster. The app doesn't seem to explain what it is doing or why; it's almost as if the exercises are chosen at random from predefined lists. Other than that i love the concept of the app; I just wish it did and told me more.

Loving it so far!!
This is exactly the kind of workout app I have been searching for. I actually look forward to working out now! Love that it's completely customizable. Definitely recommend this app!
Happy
Great workout. I like being able to substitute exercises. I would like to be able to see the number of reps from the assessment day
However since my phone updated I have to continually open the program I got it to work today I'm worried about tomorrow

Love it!
I love the new lolofit Boot Camp app. I like that I can use the music or turn the music volume off and still hear the instructions. It is a great workout - but remember to allow more time than it shows initially as there is time added between exercises!
Love the workouts, hate the bugs
This is a great workout app, it gives a video showing proper form as you go. It syncs music. However some days I need to open the app 3-4 times for it to really work. There are a few bugs such as double talking, a big picture blocking the video, and a few others. They only happen randomly.....I'd recommend this to everyone if it weren't for the inconvenient bugs

Gets Better Every Day!!!
Every time I use this app, I find more things I like about it. The workouts are great, yes, but the music bpm matching is soooo motivating. I really work harder with music that matches the pace of the exercise! I also love the ability to change my intensity at anytime DURING my workout... instead of AFTER the workout, like most other apps I've used. I'm recommending this app to everyone I know.

Wow!
I'm really, really impressed with this app. I don't know if I've been missing them, or nobody is doing this, but not having to touch my ipod to go through a workout is really awesome. And the movies look great!
Beginner
The video says it is for beginners, but does not give you directions on proper form. I know nothing about how to workout, and blew out my knee during day one because I didn't know how to do squats properly. Now I have to wait at least a couple weeks before my knee is in shape to even walk fast enough to exercise.
Don't buy this unless you are experienced with workouts. Not describing proper form is irresponsible

Wonderful for beginners too!
I've always worked out, until an injury and surgery halted it. I've been laying around eating junk for 9 months. I decided it's time and trying your program. I love it!!! I'm only on day 6 but I can keep up and already feeling progress. It's a winner!!! :-)
