### 3/5 — Bugs with audio

*2026-08-19, version 2.4.5*

I love this app so much but recently it has been causing any audio I am listening to to glitch out. This only resolves once the workout is complete or I reset my phone.

### 3/5 — App glitches

*2026-03-06, version 2.3.79*

App constantly crashes. You can’t see any previews of any workouts unless you click begin. It would be good to see more options for progress overload rather than 12 reps each set. Also would be good to see more workout splits e.g. back and biceps rather than a full body one. Also when I try to log my workout, it freezes a lot and doesn’t save.

### 3/5 — Great workouts let down by a bad app

*2026-03-01, version 2.3.78*

As other reviews say, the workouts are really good but the app itself is basic and frustrating to use. 
Feels like it’s missing some extra features too such as the ability to more easily track your progress with weights lifted and overall volume increase/decrease, and somewhere to view the details of workouts you’ve recently completed so you can see things like PBs etc. 
Please invest in improving the app’s UX to make it easier and less frustrating to use as the workouts are really good!

### 4/5 — Glitchy

*2026-01-31*

The content itself is great and I’ve followed Meggan for years, but the app is still so glitchy even after years of having it. 

If the positive affirmation does not pop up when you first open the app, you can’t access any of the workouts. Sometimes I have to close the app and reopen it 5 times just to get the popup to be able to access the workouts. As well as this, when I am halfway through a workout, the app will sometimes crash and I have to restart the app again. 

The notifications/leave a review popup is really annoying. If I don’t want to put them on the first time, I’m not going to put them on the billionth time. The app should save my choice and stop pestering me. 

The weight history icon is too close to the video example icon so when I am trying to look at my weight history, the example videos always pop up instead. 

When I want to restart a fitness plan after already completing it, the app recognises that I have already done it, and auto-completes all of the workouts, making it difficult to keep track of my new progress. 

Yes, the app is extremely affordable, however, I would rather pay a bit more for an app that works well without these annoying glitches. It’s a shame as Meggan is great and this has nothing to do with the actual content, but these issues have me considering cancelling my subscription and finding a better fitness app.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for your loyalty over the years and for this detailed feedback. Based on the time of this review some improvements were made, so we do hope you are able to use the app much better.

### 4/5 — Really good app! Some tech issues though

*2025-12-05, version 2.3.70*

I’ve used this app for 4 ish years and I’ve never got bored. It’s got great workouts that track your progress and let you personalise. 

My only issues with it are tech things that could probably be fixed but haven’t been for at least a year. Firstly, you can record your weight (that you’re lifting) in kg and lbs, but on your progress it doesn’t convert convert between them so the 3 workouts I recorded in lbs are stuck at my best even though I’m lifting heavier in kg now. Just a bit annoying, not a major issue. The other annoying thing is every time I open the app it tries to get me to turn on notifications. Every single time. 

Otherwise a great app! And I tried a few others before settling on this one.

### 5/5 — Best app ever!!

*2025-10-27*

I have used Beyond pretty much since it came out, i used to follow Megan's lockdown live workouts and enjoyed them so much when she brought out this app i was thrilled! I've never been someone to stick at the gym and have pretty much used every one in my area, had the memberships, gone for a week and then never gone back. Beyond has given me the motivation to be consistent enough for the last year and half. The results speak for themselves! I love the fact every work out is tailored to suit home or gym workouts, I can just get back from work, chuck my gymwear on and get to it and once I'm done, pop my stuff away and I'm done. It's so quick and easy and has workouts to suit every type of ability. I'll never use any other app and I'm looking forward to using beyond continuously throughout my different life stages! First stop is my wedding eeeek! Thank you so much Megan for creating such a motivating, positive safe space for women to embrace exercise and not be scared of lifting weights! Xxxxx

### 5/5 — I love this app!!

*2025-09-20, version 2.3.68*

I love this app so much, it’s really help me create a routine and stay motivated!! One thing that could be worth adding is the option to add notes to work outs - e.g could up weight next time or struggled here should do lighter next time - just a thought but this app is amazing!!

### 3/5 — Great Workouts! App Needs Upgrades

*2025-09-20, version 2.3.68*

I’m really enjoying the training plans and the energy of the content. The app itself could be improved as it’s a little glitchy. Sometimes I get kicked out of workouts and I would like my phone to stay active while the timer is on so that I don’t have to unlock my screen to see how much rest / work is left.  I’m also having a hard time using the search function when substituting exercises. For example, when I search “row”, a bunch of leg workouts show so I then have to manually go looking for the exercise.

### 5/5 — The best app

*2025-09-17, version 2.3.68*

The best app I’ve ever been apart of ! I’ve been following Meggans workouts since lockdown and I’ve always seen the best results! I will follow her workouts forever ! 💕

### 5/5 — My fave app!

*2025-09-16, version 2.3.68*

I was struggling to stay consistent at the gym so I thought I would give beyond a go! It immediately motivated me, and I’m fitter than I ever have been! Loving it! 1 year and counting 🙂

### 5/5 — Favorite workout app!

*2025-08-28, version 2.3.67*

I love this app! It’s so easy and there are so many work out plans to do!

### 3/5 — Clunky app

*2025-08-19, version 2.3.67*

Really enjoy the workouts but the app is so clunky.
Doesn’t save workouts, stops the workout half way through and just isn’t easy to navigate.

### 4/5 — Great Workout app

*2025-08-19, version 2.3.67*

I’ve been using the app for the past 6 weeks, I am loving the exercises. I’m giving it 4 stars due to the app having glitches.

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2025-08-05, version 2.3.60*

Really glitchy. disappointed

### 5/5 — Super Helpful!

*2025-07-30, version 2.3.60*

I have been working out for years so I get tired of doing the same workouts all the time. Meggan's workouts and challenges in the app help me stay motivated. It's so easy to just pick a workout and follow along without having to think about it or plan workouts yourself. I have made significantly more progress while following these plans than working out on my own. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Meghann 4ever!

*2025-07-24, version 2.3.60*

I’ve been a huge fan of Meggan’s vibrant and natural charm (as well as her challenging but FUN and enjoyable workouts) for 6 years! This app has been my staple for exercise for FOUR YEARS! I’ve been into fitness for 15 years but this app is what gave me visual and real and lasting results. THANK YOU MEGGAN AND BEYOND!

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2025-07-24, version 2.3.60*

I have been using Beyond for a couple years now and absolutely love it, the challenges and programmes are perfect, the accessibility is 10/10 and the variety is great even when not following a programme you can pick random workouts catered to every occasion! Even based on your menstrual cycle its honestly fab! I love the challenges as it feels like you’re all doing it together :)

### 5/5 — Versatile app

*2025-07-24, version 2.3.60*

Beyond is great, there’s so many workouts and plans to choose from and it’s regularly updated so you’ll never get bored. There’s a variety of meals as well. I’ve never felt stronger

### 1/5 — Being charged Subscription after cancelling a year ago!

*2026-04-04, version 2.3.85*

Woke up this morning and I’ve been charged for this app that I cancelled a year ago. I no longer have account to go get into to cancel through so I’ve now had to contact my bank to block payments. I’ll have to do this again in 13 months time. And I won’t get a refund for it. 
Very disappointed. Please make it an easier process cancelling subscriptions because this is really annoying.

### 1/5 — Awful workout app

*2025-10-15, version 2.3.70*

It is so glitchy and the formatting is beyond frustrating. Not impressed at all.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2025-05-12, version 2.3.54*

I recently purchased a subscription. Predominantly for meals more than anything however the app constantly crashes. I try and scroll through the menus but it’s impossible to find anything without it crashing. By the time you have restarted the app and managed to find anything - it crashes again. Extremely non user friendly.

### 1/5 — Won’t let me sign up

*2025-03-14, version 2.3.0*

I’m trying to sign up and create an account but I can’t get past the sign up screen. Clicking buttons but no response

### 1/5 — Horrible and disgusting refund policy

*2024-08-21, version 2.2.31*

No refunds no matter what for an app that literally doesn’t work. I’m not one to complain about things and am typically a pretty tolerant user. This app and their policies surrounding it are disgusting. If I try to start a workout, it takes me back to the workout homepage. It simply doesn’t work as advertised. I don’t understand how it has 4.8 stars. I’m 28 and tech savvy… I work for a tech company. Don’t purchase this.

### 1/5 — So many bugs

*2024-04-23, version 2.2.24*

The app is so glitchy. I am gutted as I love the idea and the general content is great but I can’t see past the amount of glitches - this is a paid app, it just isn’t acceptable. I submitted a ticket to the developer team to highlight the glitches to them in case they weren’t aware, and the response to my ticket was a link on “how to cancel your subscription”. Really poor all round, a massive disappointment.

### 1/5 — Worst workout app I’ve ever used

*2024-04-14, version 2.2.24*

I fail to see how this app has 4.7 stars when every recent review is about how buggy the app is. 

The workouts never track properly, it freezes mid sessions, logs me out all the time and now I can’t enrol to the newest programme. If you were thinking about getting this app I wouldn’t bother as it doesn’t seem my years+ worth of subscription has been put to any use in making the app better for its users.

Really disappointed with this as it shows they doesn’t really care about their customers and can’t be bothered to fix a very faulty app.

### 1/5 — Awful. Took my money and now won’t give it back

*2023-12-11, version 2.2.15*

Signed up via the app - cancelled within 7 days. However money was taken from my account!! Now wont email back

### 1/5 — 2 week free lies

*2023-11-12, version 2.2.15*

Says 2 weeks Free trial but that's not an option.

### 1/5 — A nightmare to use

*2023-11-05, version 2.2.15*

this app had so much promise but it never works properly- constantly crashes, doesn’t allow access, buggy, not sure it’s worth the money with how slow they are to respond and fix either

### 5/5 — Fitter than ever!

*2026-06-04, version 2.4.1*

I have been using the app for 8 months as a new mum and it has made my journey with getting back Into fitness so much easier. I have done three of the programmes now and I have seen so much progress in my physic and fitness. Really easy to use and so much on there for all types of fitness levels.

### 5/5 — Best app by far

*2026-06-02, version 2.4.1*

Have been using this app for a while now and love the workouts! I usually just go for the programmes and follow them till the end and join a new one! Never get bored of the workouts! Such great value for money and you see results 🙌🏻

### 5/5 — I got abs!

*2026-05-19, version 2.3.85*

I developed visible abs for the first time ever, by following one of the strength plans! It’s like your own pocket sized PT, for a fraction of the cost. I love how there are videos for each exercise, and lots of workout plans to choose from (depending on your goal). A nice mix of exercise & wellbeing features.

### 5/5 — Love

*2026-02-20, version 2.3.78*

Always come back to this app, absolutely love it, always new and fresh content

### 5/5 — Jules

*2026-01-12, version 2.3.77*

I absolutely love this app. O follow Megan on YouTube and working out with her is amazing. I always make my Strava workout ‘strength workout with Megan’ the app has so much information and workouts and is a great community xx

### 5/5 — The best workout app for women!!!

*2026-01-06, version 2.3.77*

I have never ever written a review for any apps and have had an iPhone for 15 years at least. This is such a thoughtful app - from the numerous workout guides and recipes to the continuous updates. I have had this app for over 4 years. The best part, to me, is the latest update of the cycle tracking aspect. The app automatically suggests modifications for your workout  based on where in the month you are in your cycle!! You don’t have to leave your guide and choose a new one - the modifications are included when you open the workout. It is extremely helpful, thoughtful, and motivating. To me, seeing those notifications says“You’re a woman so it’s ok and natural if your body can do different levels of things during different times of the month - the most important thing is to get a bit of movement in, whatever that means today.” Seriously best app. Thank you!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Very good app!

*2025-12-31, version 2.3.70*

I’m really impressed by this App, been using it for a few months and have really enjoyed my training, following the focussed programmes. The workouts are all around 1 hour generally but you can just do as much as you want to tailor it to the time you have. The stretching videos to end the sessions are great too.

### 5/5 — The best!

*2025-12-02, version 2.3.70*

Brilliant app, great functionality and even better to have such high engagement and levels of new content from Meggan - you’re amazing.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2025-11-12, version 2.3.70*

There is something for everyone and it is so motivating in the gym because I have this!

### 5/5 — Best app!

*2025-10-29, version 2.3.70*

I’ve been using Beyond for over a year & it is exactly what I needed! Workouts are challenging & creating, the different progression tracks are engaging, and each day I’m left feeling sore but accomplished. I’ve tried so many different workout apps but I find that when they’re not curated by a woman, I don’t get the results I’m looking for.
