Long time user
TLDR: Silent workouts are soul crushing, but the meal plans and the workout plans are very effective when followed.
I have used 8fit as a pro user since 2019 and have seen some things change over time. I used 8fit to lose 40 lbs in six months. It is an excellent app for meal planning and picking workouts that fit my fitness level. If you stick to the plans, it delivers excellent results.
I love this app, but I took away one star because of changes I've seen (or haven't seen). There used to be integrated music into workouts, which was great for me because it was one less thing to think about as an obstacle to getting into a workout. There also used to be countdown chimes to let you know when you should move on to the next movement in a workout. This was SO helpful and I find myself absolutely annoyed and struggling without it. Workouts are now silent in the app and I hate that.
A change I haven't seen over time, that I'm dying for, is a "dessert" or "sweet treats" category in the meal planning. Sometimes I just want a healthy dessert and I don't want to dig through all the meals. You also can't search more than one category at a time. For example, I can look up "High Protein," or "Breakfast," but not "High Protein" AND "Breakfast," which is annoying when trying to find something that fits multiple parameters.

Workouts just freeze…
I have been having serious issues with the workouts just freezing and no options to upgrade the app, now I am told I have uninstall and reinstall….
Wow
Love it
Programme pour débutant
Vraiment très bien fait!! Facile à suivre!! J’adore!!
Good
Very good love the work outs it gives you a warmup and a cooldown and after the workout it asks your opinion on what you just did
Great idea but....
The idea is great but it crashes every time I try and open it. Plus what you get for free is not worth it. So unless you want to pay a ridiculous amount of money to get the full package, don’t get it.

i think this app is pretty cool and helps you reach your objective (lose weight, gain muscle, exc) there is also a premium version you can choose to pay for that comes with a meal plan and specialized classes. 10 out of 10!

AVOID
Took out a free trial, cancelled during the trial period, no subscription left in Apple Subscriptions or way to reset the password on my account. But this company tried to take £56 payment—without warning—three times in a month. My bank flagged each transaction up as a fraud, I cancelled my debit card multiple times, but 8Fit kept attempting to charge my account. When the bank finally put a block on the entire company, 8Fit changed its name slightly a month later so that a charge would be forced through!! I have now raised an official complaint through my bank.
There are way better apps out there for fitness, which are easier to use and have far better customer service. This app is a scam, and it’s not even that good. There’s a reason people are cancelling during the trial period.

Has potential
Not going to lie, I’ve used this app for about 5 or 6 years now. HOWEVER, I find that the app is only great for certain things. I absolutely love its large variety of yoga, stretch, and meditation activities. They really hit the nail on the head with those options. There is a yoga workout for any situation you can think of. That’s why I’ve kept this app. First, I’ve tried to use the meal planning a few times, but it’s just not in-depth enough. There is no calorie counting, or macro tracking. It’s not easily customizable. It makes it appear like there’s calorie counting, but it’s just not detailed enough. Second, there are NO gym workouts. This is great for people who want to workout at home. But I wish they integrated workouts for those who use gym equipment. So the workout portion is useless to me (except for the yoga and meditation). You can log any type of workout you’ve done that day, but I want to see everything in one place. I find that I have like 4 different apps for one specific thing. Example, I use this app for yoga. I use another app for detailed calorie and meal planning. I use another app for gym workout planning. I use another app just as a general day-planner. I have YET to see an app that has everything in one.
