Pay for extra bells and whistles. That it is subscription is probably a bit silly. ### 4/5 — Great app *2026-06-16, version 18.4.0* Almost nothing is ever free forever ### 5/5 — Best *2026-03-15, version 18.1.2* Best exercise app for good result in short time. ### 5/5 — Time Conscious Workout *2026-03-06, version 18.1.2* An all over body workout for people with limited time. Quick and easy or make it more challenging with adjustments. ### 5/5 — Wonderful aid! *2026-02-18, version 18.1.0* I love this app, how easy it is and how it syncs with apple Health. ### 5/5 — Perfect for quick workouts *2026-02-14, version 18.1.0* I’ve had this app for a little over two years now. I have never had any issues with it. The workouts are awesome if you want to just do a quick seven minute workout, or if you want to go ahead and extend it and do two or three rounds. They will definitely leave you out of breath, even though you can’t imagine how. I always do two sets in a row, and I extend the break time in between sets to 10 seconds. I can’t imagine not using this app in between my longer workout days. ### 5/5 — 3000+ workouts. Thank you! *2026-02-13, version 18.1.0* Thank you for maintaining this app for so many years ### 5/5 — Best 7 minutes to do daily. *2026-02-03, version 18.0.4* It only takes 7 mins, very easy not too but I know after several months break I am not as strong in the legs or arms. So back on the bike for me. ### 5/5 — Nice mix of exercises suitable for beginners *2026-01-25, version 18.0.2* This is nice mix of aerobic and resistance training exercises that are easy to do without any equipment except a mat and a chair. ### 3/5 — Animation *2026-01-22, version 18.0.2* Good to the point would be better if animations were on Apple Watch so not to need to have iPhone with you. ### 5/5 — Amazing!!!👌👌👌 *2026-01-12, version 18.0.1* I am sooooo fit after yrs of this ### 5/5 — Top application *2026-01-09* Very useful application, various workouts and top quality. **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad to hear that you're finding the workouts useful and of top quality. If we can help future please reach out to us at https://support.bytesizeapps.net ### 5/5 — 7 min home workout *2026-01-03, version 18.0.0* Grate app,video clearly. I m 2 years out of training and this 7 min kill me ;) ### 5/5 — Use it everyday *2025-12-31, version 18.0.0* I love that I can design my own workouts and set time periods. I use this app almost every day ### 5/5 — Shaya *2025-12-21, version 18.0.0* 8900 ### 3/5 — Not my style *2025-12-15, version 17.2.0* I like to download several apps when I’m looking for a new one and then try them all and pick my favorite. Not very many free options on this one and I’m not a fan of the AI. ### 5/5 — Really Solid App *2025-12-14, version 17.2.0* I’ve used this app for 5 years and it’s just really simple, straightforward and complete. I would have purchased this several times over because it’s so effective. Sooo happy to use it and will continue to as long as I’m breathing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — iPad version refuses to restore purchase *2026-06-22, version 18.4.0* I’ve had this app for many years but haven’t used my iPad version in a long time. When I launched it today, it refused to restore my purchase and it forced me to sign up for a subscription to continue. The help article shows an iOS screen that doesn’t look anything like the version on my iPhone or my iPad. ### 1/5 — Cash grab *2026-06-19* Another app that hooks you with a long onboarding process (sunken cost) and then provides … nothing in return. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. The original 7 Minute Workout is free to use, and the onboarding helps personalize workouts based on fitness level, goals, and available equipment. We’ve been supporting and updating the app continuously for over 12 years, with regular improvements, new features, and workout content. While some features require a subscription to support ongoing development, we aim to provide value at every stage of the experience. We appreciate you giving the app a try. ### 1/5 — it’s a good workout but the AI sucks! *2026-03-06, version 18.1.2* as a middle-aged woman, just trying to get some exercise in in the long winter we have in the snowy tundra, I just needed to start somewhere. I did seven minutes in the morning a long time ago. I can’t remember the app that I used clearly it wasn’t this one! as soon as the seven minutes ended, the AI voice said you look like you could go again. How demotivating! You’re right I do need to do it again. I’ll do it again tomorrow, but not with this app. ### 1/5 — AI “Progress” Photos *2025-11-16, version 17.0.2* A really great and accessible app but i have to outright give 1 star for the use of AI before and after photos when setting up the app. Unrealistic expectations for weight loss are already bad enough for people but using generated images of weight loss is downright dangerous. This app already has enough positive reviews that the inclusion of these images isn’t necessary. It’s pretty shameful and I hope the app is updated to remove them. ### 1/5 — Not free! *2025-10-01, version 17.0.2* Lies & data tracking ### 1/5 — Bogus Charge *2025-05-17, version 16.0.4* I haven’t even opened this app, let alone subscribe to a Pro membership. I look at my phone and there’s a charge. Then when I try to mess with my settings in the app it conveniently can’t connect. ### 1/5 — Not able to add injuries... *2025-05-06, version 16.0.4* I can't use this app. I have sciatica in my back, a repetitive strain injury in my knee, and carpool tunnel in my wrist. You should be able to add injuries to your exercise plans so that you're able to not do certain exercises. Your app needs to be more planned for people who are human beings, who have injuries that can't be fixed. To be honest I find this app useless at the moment. ### 1/5 — Zero stars is more like it *2025-03-30, version 16.0.1* Open app. Click get started. Get a screen that brags about all you can do and then NOTHING!! Nothing to click, no way to leave screen. Totally non-functioning app. :( ### 1/5 — Worst workout app ever *2025-03-08, version 15.3.2* Why is this so bad, you ask. Well, first of all you can only do one type of workout that is free. The rest, well, YOU HAVE TO PAY!!!!! So, my children wanted to do a workout so I got them this app. And we did the first and ONLY free workout. It was fun and tiring, but when we went to do another, different workout it said “Please sign up for a trial. Just 69.99$ a month!” SO PLEASE DON’T GET THIS APP!!! PLEASE!!! ### 1/5 — This all tries to fool you into thinking you’re torching calories like a marathon runner. *2025-02-06, version 15.0.1* This app promises a calorie-burning miracle in just 7 minutes but delivers inflated metrics instead imho—i noticed on my Apple Watch that after the 7-min core workout and 7-min leg workout it had nearly closed my move ring and after looking at my stats, they were padded way more than my effort. One star for turning exercise into a fantasy of false numbers. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Consistency! *2026-07-23, version 18.4.0* The seven minute works out app is fabulous. I created my own core workout and have done it 2500+ times in the past 7 years. Since the workout is short that makes it easy to do every day! ### 5/5 — Lifesaver! *2026-07-08, version 18.4.0* This app is a lifesaver. This 64-y.o. guy has beeb completely rejuvenated by using this. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-22, version 18.4.0* Slowly but surely I will get fit. ### 5/5 — Fast and easy *2026-06-17, version 18.4.0* Workouts are easy demonstrated with videos multiple workouts countdowns between routines. You can do one after the other if you feel like doing more than a seven minute workout, you can do the same workout twice or multiple workouts. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Big Help *2026-06-14, version 18.4.0* This app helps keep me on track and motivated. I feel the benefits daily. My mantra is “The hardest thing is getting started”, because once I start, I know that I will finish. ### 5/5 — Quick and Easy *2026-05-26, version 18.4.0* Don’t have to think about it. Just start the app and sweat ### 5/5 — Oldie but goodie! *2026-05-05, version 18.3.0* Great fillers into your daily workout! ### 5/5 — Perfect workout for me for the time I have! *2026-04-30, version 18.3.0* I love this 7 minute workout! I don't have much time to exercise, so this is perfect. These simple exercises work out my whole body just in 7 minutes on days that I don't have time. It get most my major body muscles, ligaments, fascia and bones! ### 5/5 — Skeptical *2026-03-21, version 18.1.2* I am breathing and sweating like I was at the gym did the workout twice !! I’ll subscribe ### 5/5 — The App That Helps Me Exercise Every Day *2026-03-16, version 18.1.2* I’ve been using the 7 Minute Workout app and I’m really enjoying it. What I love the most is how easy it makes exercising, even on busy days. The workouts are short (only 7 minutes), but they are surprisingly effective. The app guides you through different exercises with clear instructions and a timer, so you don’t have to think about what to do next. You just follow along. It’s perfect for people who want to stay active but don’t have a lot of time. I can do it at home, without equipment, and still feel like I did a good workout. Another thing I like is that it helps me stay consistent. When a workout is only 7 minutes, it’s much easier to say “yes” to exercising every day. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
