### 4/5 — Scroll wheel for weight is the worst

*2026-03-31, version 3.0.4.1*

Great app, I’ve been using this for multiple years now. My one single complaint is the “scroll wheel” to enter the weight used during a workout. Get rid of the scroll wheel!!!!! Or at least make an option where we can enter weight used with a number pad versus the scroll wheel.

### 3/5 — It’s ok - good for beginners

*2025-10-31, version 3.0.4.1*

App is kind of buggy. I often have to force quit the app and re-enter sets. AI scan is not usually very accurate (to be expected probably). The workouts are just not for me personally. Needs more exercise selection for substitutions.

### 3/5 — Glitches

*2025-07-05, version 3.0.4.1*

So many glitches

### 4/5 — It’s good but

*2025-06-12, version 3.0.4.1*

I like the app and the workout, it keeps me focused and on a plan. the macro tracker needs work. can you please let us edit food we scan in?

### 4/5 — App is good

*2025-04-19, version 3.0.4*

I came back for the AI macro tracker, but I feel the workout section could be better.  Maybe go off a style like fitbod and let us create supersets and pick from more than 2 excercise substitutes in the programs .. this is close and could easily be the best all in one app hands down.  I just prefer the flow of other workout tracker apps

### 2/5 — Great app but very buggy

*2025-03-05, version 3.0.0*

I have tried this app multiple times once when it first came out and this year. Great idea but the functionality is not where it needs to be, I can’t finish workouts because it’s picking up my yearly subscription that’s been paid. Waste of money do not recommend

### 4/5 — Bug error

*2025-03-04, version 3.0.0*

Hello, I need assistance with a bug in the app.  It keeps telling me to start a free trial after I click start/finish on my exercise.  I am already a member.  Please help with this error thank you

### 3/5 — Sharing

*2025-03-04, version 3.0.0*

Make a Family Share plan for this app. It’s what families want. And what better way to stay connected and fit together. Get in front of the curve on this.

### 3/5 — Fix the app

*2025-02-28, version 3.0.0*

When are you going to fix the app from restarting in between sets. It starts your entire session over.

### 4/5 — Almost Perfect (2 Things)

*2025-02-09, version 3.0.0*

Connect to Apple Health + Community Feature. Aside from that, it’s awesome! STAY BEASTLY

### 4/5 — Awesome.. Besides one thing

*2025-01-21, version 3.0.0*

The app is ALMOST exactly what I’ve been looking for. The ability to customize our own macros would be a game changer!!

### 4/5 — Love this app!

*2025-01-14, version 3.0.0*

Love this app, have been using it for a while. I love the workouts and not having to guess what to do. The one thing I don’t like is the new number scrolling for recording weight and reps. I liked being able to enter it. The scroll is too slow and sometimes doesn’t move. I’d suggest either going back to keyboard entry, using the default iOS scrolling or provide keyboard entry and scrolling entry.

### 3/5 — Notifications aren’t working

*2025-01-14, version 3.0.0*

Hi David, 

Massive fan of yours and have had the app for years. Best app in the business and has definitely led me to more gains. Unfortunately, since the update the notifications won’t push so I don’t know when it’s time to start my next set. I turn my phone off mid workout to try and get away from my phone for the day but now I don’t know when to start my next set. 

Also, as far as I’m aware you can’t skip workouts any more and sometimes due to my schedule that was huge for me so would like to see that back too. 

Massive fan and if these two things get fixed it’s be a 5 star review. Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Stay Beastly!

*2025-01-11*

Been using this app for about 3 years now and it’s awesome one of the best fitness apps I’ve ever used and very organized over the years, Love how I can track my calories & also has some good recipes for your fitness goals never seen an app that helps u cook some good food that’ll hit your protein or diet goals! and also shows what workouts to do so u never go in the gym again without knowing what to do, has it organized for u throughout the week.

### 5/5 — The Best App Ever!!!

*2025-01-09, version 3.0.0*

I been using this fitness app for almost a year now. So far this is the best beastly app I ever use in the gym! It can track my progress with my body and my nutrition. It brings me more challenges in the workout routine. The workout plans change my life around to gain more muscle and lean physique. I highly recommend to level up your gains!

### 1/5 — Charged me for no reason

*2026-07-17, version 3.0.5*

I had clicked on the “ free trial” button and proceeded to charge me a year trial. Pretty much says it’s out of their hands.

### 1/5 — Caveat Emptor - you have been warned

*2026-01-23, version 3.0.4.1*

Can't fault the hypertrophy portion of the app. However, I found that the app is not intuitive when it comes to account management on the user side - in fact, you can't make ANY changes without contacting their support team. Which, if you're using iOS, is not viable through the in-app portal - it says a message was sent but rest assured, it wasn't. If you want to cancel your subscription, you'll need to send an email directly (found on their website). Was charged $100 for a subscription I did not want, and was declined a refund because this business flat-out doesn't provide refunds, even when progress is limited by their app's unreliability or lack of functionality. It almost begins to feel like this system was designed to draw you in, and engineered to make it impossible to escape without paying a high price for it. I can not recommend this product or service to anyone based on their shifty business practices.

### 1/5 — Constantly Crashing

*2025-09-10, version 3.0.4.1*

The app crashes every time I use it. Programs in it are good, but you have to have it open the whole time without locking your phone. Every time I unlock my photo to rest a set, it crashes, signs me out and makes me log in again then I have to start from scratch. It’s frustrating dealing with this during workouts. Been using it since January and issue as been on going.

### 1/5 — AI Feature and Nutrition

*2025-08-15, version 3.0.4.1*

The workouts are great for beginners but the AI function is limited and is the reason I got the app - the AI feature only lets you scan a few times per month, honestly you’d probably be better buying a dedicated AI nutrition scanner or using google gemini than this and then just youtubing some workouts. 

The app is fine for the first year of fitness, but offers nothing for people who’ve been working our for 2-3+ years. Won’t be subscribing again unless major changes are made. I do feel like I wasted my money unfortunately.

### 1/5 — Good

*2025-03-19, version 3.0.4*

The app works great for all tasks, except for the progress picture function, which encounters issues while loading images.

### 1/5 — Can’t use

*2024-10-13, version 2.5.1*

Been a customer for a year and no longer will let me on. 

Apple shows my subscription as active. 

I pay for it but says I don’t have access. Having to report as fraud to get money back.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2024-04-18, version 2.5.1*

Overpriced app! It’s malfunctioning from day one!

Food scanner is not working

You can’t Change any workout 

It also super overpriced

I contacted the developer five times and refused to refund me

### 1/5 — Terrible UX

*2021-09-21, version 2.0.4*

I have used a few fitness apps and while I liked the concept of this one, the user experience is almost unusable. You can’t skip to a different workout, and the app function is super glitchy. If you want to go back to a previous workout you lose all progress leading up to it. I wanted to like it but this app is unusable.

### 1/5 — Terrible all around

*2020-07-31*

The app is sooo glitchy like all kinds of glitch. Like not only that but the meals he suggests arent all that great either. If youre looking to get lean and shredded this app is NOT FOR YOU!!! If you just wanna eat whatever you want and hope to not get fat by all means download this app.

### 1/5 — A joke

*2020-07-30, version 1.0*

Miss advertisement. Advertised as free but you literally can’t access anything without paying a subscription of £14.49 per month! Absolute rip off

### 5/5 — Best workout app

*2026-05-21, version 3.0.4.1*

I’ve had many dieting apps and this has been the best for tracking. It’s also great because it consolidates my workouts and tracks my macros all-in-one. Not to mention the technical support is amazing. They get back to you within 45 mins or less and use the best troubleshooting techniques.

### 5/5 — Used for 1 year

*2026-05-21, version 3.0.4.1*

I love the workout programs

### 5/5 — 10/10 BEST WORKOUT APP

*2026-02-10*

Changed my workouts. Helps me stay consistent and disciplined to train everything even the muscles I don’t want to do. Makes it easy to track and super useful rest timers so I don’t have to switch to my clock app. Automatically ups the weight for you and or volume every workout. Has tons of workout plans. Recommend for everyone. I have achieved a physique I am proud of through this app naturally at 6’5” from 170lbs-210lbs lean. These programs are legit. Give it a try. You won’t regret it and your body will thank you later.🔱

### 5/5 — The beastly app

*2025-06-05, version 3.0.4.1*

This app is truly amazing it really helps you stay on a good gym schedule

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2025-05-06, version 3.0.4*

The app has its bugs, but before when I was using it religiously before my surgery, i was getting the best workouts and I got into incredible shape

### 5/5 — Best fitness app

*2025-03-16*

I’ve tried a lot of different fitness apps and every time I come back to beastly. It’s my personal favourite by far.

### 5/5 — A Beast of A Fitness App

*2025-03-02, version 3.0.0*

Amazing app! Actually best training program and fitness app I’ve ever tried. Just want to drop two suggestions for things I’d love to see in the future… 
1. Widgets (Mostly for the Macro Wheels and Steps) 
2. Preview Video Demonstrations for Workouts (Mini video with No Audio so music doesn’t stop, that Autoplays when on exercise, tap for full video explanation) Don’t know if I explain myself well on this one

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-01-17*

I use the app now for over 2 years and I really love it. The new update makes it even better. You have all in one place, the app takes care of increasing the weights/reps. The programs are very good, the food tracking is stupid easy, it is user intuitive. Would give it 6 stars if I could :)

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-01-15, version 3.0.0*

I’ve been using this app since its release back in 2020 it has helped me so much with tracing my diet and it has helped me with keeping all my recorded past reps takes all the stress out of keeping a notebook with the information. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-01-11, version 3.0.0*

Using this app has helped me keep count of my macros and the full body workouts are great!! Don’t regret signing up one bit!
