Whats the point of this app if you can’t use it? ### 1/5 — Confused *2025-11-03, version 2.4.1* Tried to make an account, says email is already in use. Tried to make an account and pressed “forgot password”, says account with email does not exist. ### 1/5 — Major Downgrade *2025-10-21, version 2.4.1* We lost the ADF active app which was simple to use and had loads to do and read. This new app is utter garbage. ### 1/5 — Register no response *2025-10-18, version 2.4.1* It’s been over 2 months since signing up and it’s still under review. ### 1/5 — Why fix what wasn’t broken? *2025-10-18, version 2.4.1* I used to use the adf active app for at home work outs. Not even trying to join the ADF tbh. It was great. It gamefied it for me. I would try to complete all the work outs each week and reach 100% consistency. Then it started glitching and not letting you log in. And now you’ve replaced it with this thing, which is like, what, some buggy videos? Much worse UI. The push up rhythm for the practice PFA is ever so slightly off rhythm and it is so annoying. ### 1/5 — Still waiting access to App after three month - « your request is under review ». No way to contact *2025-10-06, version 2.4.1* As many, I was gobsmacked to see the ADF active app go. I have tried to register into the new app. More than one month later, my account is still under review and I cannot access it ### 1/5 — Stuck at login *2025-09-14, version 2.4.1* App won’t let me login, or change my password. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2025-09-09, version 2.4.1* As a current member of the ADF even I cannot get an account sorted to use this app. The support is non-existent and to be quite frank, this app is in the same shape as overall ADF recruitment; useless. Save your energy and the stress for the gym, find another preparation app. ### 1/5 — Pretty disappointing - what’s the point? *2025-09-06, version 2.4.1* You can’t sign up because no-one responds to your application being under review. I have tried twice now, and the app support is just the ADF Recruiting website. Why bother? ### 1/5 — Not a good training app *2025-08-01, version 2.4.1* The ADF active app was so much better. ADF ready has too much information but seems to be missing the point of training and improvement of physical health in action. ### 1/5 — Why change it? *2025-07-30, version 2.4.1* This app is so much worse than its predecessor. Why fix it if it’s not broken? ### 1/5 — Massive downgrade *2025-07-28, version 2.4.1* ADF active app was so much easier to use. The constant lagging of the videos is frustrating. This app is a massive downgrade from the ADF Active app. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-07-07, version 2.2* No audible beep on the beep test ### 1/5 — No sound? *2025-07-04, version 2.2* I understand this is a new app release but I feel having sound in your videos should be pretty obvious to have? Why discontinue to the ADF Active app when it wasn’t broken in the first place ### 1/5 — Sad to see the ADF active app go *2025-06-26, version 2.2* Adf active app was a lot better with a lot more variety of workouts and all the other features🙁 If they’re planning on keeping this app up and running I’d personally say to introduce the same interface as the old app and all of its features as it was a lot more user friendly and informative and just a good workout app all round even if you’re not joining the ADF? Recommend my friend to use the ADF active app and was told it’s been decommissioned which is really sad to hear ### 1/5 — Go back to ADF Active *2025-06-25, version 2.1* Terrible app, don’t understand why they got rid of ADF Active, this is a much worse version that is extremely poorly laid out, don’t recommend using it ### 1/5 — This app currently stinks *2025-06-24, version 2.1* There was nothing wrong with the adf active app no clue why they shut that down and came out with this trash of an app. The training plan was perfect on the previous app, which this one lacks: ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-07-25, version 2.4.2* Literally can’t even make a password that will satisfy it even though I’m doing everything it’s asking for ### 1/5 — App is stuck on main menu. Glitch? *2026-07-05, version 2.4.2* I used to used the old app for fitness & it was fantastic. The new one doesn’t go past the “Start Here” part. I agree with the previous review, from 12 months ago: bring back the old app until you have ironed the bugs out of this new version ### 1/5 — Can’t register *2026-04-08, version 2.4.2* The link to the terms and conditions goes to an Example.com page. ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-03-24, version 2.4.2* I can’t register it just glitches as soon as I click the sign up button after entering my details. Please fix this ### 1/5 — Won’t let me log in *2026-03-20, version 2.4.2* I’ve tried many times to login but I try to and it won’t let me login so I can’t even get past the login bit and was really looking forward to doing this workouts on the app but I guess that’s unfortunate. ### 1/5 — Can’t open it *2026-03-17, version 2.4.2* I try to sign up but clicking the button doesn’t do anything. I’ve completed all the boxes and accepted the terms (the links don’t even lead anywhere) and I’ve even tried logging in with my sign up info but nothing works. This is actively being maintained the ADF and so I expected better. ### 1/5 — Cannot join *2026-03-04, version 2.4.2* Sent me an e mail to verify email address. Showed fault ‘token missing or expired’. Therefore cannot access the app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-02-19, version 2.4.2* It won’t let me past the register part. I’ve refreshed reinstalled restarted my phone I’ve done everything and it won’t let me register just freezes when I press the button. Very annoying and I also can’t even get any IT support because I’m stuck at the starting page. ### 1/5 — Can’t even create account? *2026-02-12, version 2.4.2* So I can start enlistment at 16 join by 17 but can’t use the fitness app until I’m 18? And it doesn’t even tell me that I had to say 18 then it started loading before I just decided I’d rather map out my own workout ### 1/5 — Bring back active *2026-02-02, version 2.4.2* The personal trainer on the old app was amazing. This is basically an over complicated piece of paper with your workouts written down ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The good and the bad *2025-08-31, version 2.4.1* Honestly the other reviews had me worried while it is a little bit more confusing I do believe this app is much more comprehensive and allows for better progress would highly recommend whether your goal is to just improve fitness or to join the ADF ### 4/5 — Excellent info, slightly glitchy *2025-06-27, version 2.2* I've learned a lot from this app, especially about recovery and mobility. A bit on diet and hydration would be handy but you've got to stop somewhere I guess. It'd be 5 stars if the videos were easier to pause/rotate through on warm ups. Very useful app and ideal programs thanks. Just what I need. ### 2/5 — Good but not great *2025-08-19, version 2.4.1* Not as good as the other one as it had workouts and knowledge. But it’s good to show your progress. ### 2/5 — Needs a lot of work. *2025-06-11, version 2.1* Very basic app with a few errors. Such as, Press ups. App advises arms to bend 45°. I could smash those half presses out all day. Also no fitness standards for shown Reserves. ### 2/5 — ADF Active was bettet *2025-05-19, version 2.1* ADF active was a great app for doing my exercises! It got canned for this app which is convoluted, bloated and inefficient. The UI is a mess let alone trying to exercise with this app. ### 2/5 — ADF active app *2025-05-18, version 2.1* The ADF active app is much easier to use and it’s good having the workout countdown and person doing the workout with you. ADF ready app is not exactly easy to use and the workouts you have to do on your own with no person and no countdown. Much prefer the ADF active app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
