When I started, I noticed some quality of life improvements that need to be made so that everyone can enjoy the app to the fullest. For example, let me rearrange my routines and plans around. Another, have more exercises already in the app and have timers for certain exercises like planks. It can be a hassle for the user to try and add simple exercises even if they may already know them, think of the convenience for the customer. I noticed that when I changed my rest time for certain exercises, they didn’t save and weren’t utilized in the actual workout. (Fixed!) In the workout, some of the exercise names were cut off and were hard to read. (Fixed!) It can be hard to understand what may be added when adding a custom exercise because the wording of the alternative names for muscles isn’t uniform yet. Some are straightforward and others left me scratching my head. These are some of the issues i noticed with the app, but I’m not worried because as long as the app gets updates (and funding), then this app will likely be a successful hit! Hopefully when the app gets updated, I’ll rewrite my review to reflect on the positives of the app. It’s got my attention, and I’m betting it’ll likely get yours too once those changes are made! Till then! Cheers to the Dev team! **Developer response:** Thank you for the detailed feedback, this is exactly the kind of input that helps us improve! Just to update you — routines now sort based on last used, and exercise timers were added in our latest update. More built-in exercises, clearer muscle naming, the rest time saving issue and exercise names being cut off are all things we're actively working on. Really appreciate the patience and kind words — cheers, and we hope to earn that updated review! ### 4/5 — Really Neat *2026-07-30* This is great. It’s fairly straight forward way to gamify workouts and track your progress I would love to not have to manually put in as many basic machines as I seem to have to like the treadmill for cardio but all in all I am really enjoying this app! ### 4/5 — Pretty fun fitness app *2026-07-20* Engaging progress, would like Apple Health integration ### 4/5 — Looks VERY promising!! *2026-03-22* I was enamored by this app as soon as I found out about it and its theme.

Only thing that would make it better is a character that grows with you and an rpg quest :) ### 5/5 — Makes me feel like Sung Jin-Woo! *2026-07-31* I’ve only had it for a week so far but it’s got me back in the gym, tracking my macros, and eager to level up my stats! Even without the upgrades and premium directives, this app is seriously addictive. Outside of some rare issues with the UI during routines, it’s a solid app and has me excited to reach S Rank! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-25* I’ve been using it for about a month and i am horrible at tracking my workouts. But this really made it fun and easy. I also like the rpg aspect of it. **Developer response:** That's awesome to hear! Making workout tracking fun is exactly what we set out to do. Really glad the RPG aspect is keeping you engaged. Keep leveling up! 💪 ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2026-03-11* Really helpful for getting started on your workout routine **Developer response:** Thank you!
