### 3/5 — Not as user friendly as it could be, and I would start on chart 2 if you are in reasonable shape.

*2026-06-03, version 4.3.4*

I will continue to use it, but there are times where I would have like more information about what the buttons do.   Example I stopped the running on the spot section because I hit the wrong button by mistake.   Counting at the very lowest stages is confusing.  Is it reps or is it sets.  Once you move up.  You learn it was reps.   I moved up to chart 2.  Things make much more sense, and chart 1 was to easy to hold my interest.

### 5/5 — Great exercises

*2026-04-05*

Almost as good as the booklet, but electronic.

### 4/5 — Good but

*2026-02-28, version 4.3.4*

The app is good but is could be better if you could skip to the next exercise in advance. You can skip straight to the run but I don’t see how to skip from exercise 1 to 2 before the time is up.

### 5/5 — A Great Classic Plan

*2025-09-01, version 4.3.4*

I have been doing this program most of my life since I was quite young because it has been around for decades and I am now over 60 years old and use this plan daily to keep fit it is perfect for people that don’t have a lot of time or money to invest in the gym membership or sports team. Doing this daily will keep your body strong and fit and then you can also do the walking or jogging in the evening or some other time as well if you like. I like doing this plan first thing in the morning. Doing this plan with participation in one or two other activities will keep you very fit and strong. I am a true believer that the consistency of 5BX is the key to what can keep a person healthy and fit. There is no excuse because everyone can put aside 11 minutes a day.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-02-20, version 4.3.4*

*Update* : New UI & Fix for voice prompts, this app is my new five-star app. 

Loving this app, its use of streaks is great at motivating you to get to next level and stay at the level for you’re age. Good clear explanations, sound prompts & help screens to explain the exercises are all great and well thought out. I do exercises first thing after getting out of bed so it’s part of my morning routine. Good job Turtle Bay on producing a great app and fixing the reported voice prompt bug :)

### 5/5 — Great app but sound is intermittent

**Developer response:** Thank you for leaving a review. I have fixed the voice prompt bug and it should work reliably now. Please let me know if you are still having an issue with it. Thanks again!

### 5/5 — Great UI. Does what it is supposed to.

*2024-11-19, version 4.3.4*

Absolutely great app. Gets last star when it has added HealthKit.

### 2/5 — 3,99€ ???

*2024-03-20*

The explanations are more than frugal. The graphics are less than minimalistic (which is acceptable). But: the voice or sound settings change back to nothing whenever he app is opened. This is just badly programmed. And there is no sync between iPhone and iPad. Sorry, but 3,99€ are incredible for this.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2024-02-25, version 4.2.1*

A timer and some rubbish graphics - if this was a physical product bought on line I would have returned it for a refund. 
£3-99 wasted which reduces the likelihood of me buying apps in future.

### 4/5 — Great app but sound is intermittent

*2024-02-25*

*Update* : A workaround for inaudible voice prompts, in the absence of a development update, is to toggle the Settings -> ‘Audible Prompts’ ->Voice button

You don’t even need to leave the button enabled for the voice prompts to work. The toggle seems to circumvent the bug preventing use of voice prompts while doing exercises. 

Loving this app, it’s motivating to get to next level. Good clear explanations, sound prompts & help however the sound prompts don’t always work first time (volume is up and silent button on side of iP is not on). I can eventually get sound but I have to restart the app and fiddle about, hence 4 stars not 5. Overall I would & have recommended. I do exercises first thing after getting out of bed so it’s part of my morning routine. Good job Turtle Bay :)

**Developer response:** Thank you for leaving a review. I have fixed the voice prompt bug and it should work reliably now. Please let me know if you are still having an issue with it. Thanks again!
