Seemingly randomly the video player buttons will stop working e.g. can’t go full screen, can’t pause, etc. Closing and reopening the app once or twice seems to fix it. Please fix! Also would be nice if autoplay worked in screencast mode, annoying to have to manually click next after each section when watching on tv. Love you! ### 2/5 — Had no issue until last week *2025-12-24, version 6.0.2* All of a sudden I can not airplay any of the 20+ instructionals. Reached out and did everything that was recommended. Still can not airplay any of them. Not working from the bjj Fanatics website either. Interface looks different so I’m assuming they updated something and since then service had not worked for last week or more ### 2/5 — You lost a star from me *2025-12-23, version 6.0.2* You got rid of tap for sound and then brought it back. The dumbest feature I’ve ever seen for a video app. ### 3/5 — New features are great, but there’s bugs *2025-12-20, version 6.0.1* Love, the fact you got rid of the videos on mute when you started up the app. Although I’m having bugs with some videos, not playing because of network failure for an unknown reason. also, my auto play to the next lesson more often doesn’t work then works. ### 3/5 — Overall good *2025-12-12, version 6.0.0* Good basic functionality, but it has deleted my bookmarks multiple times, and would benefit from other ways to sort and filter courses. For example, being able to sort your own library by your rating or some sort of assigned priority. ### 4/5 — Broke the video sharing again *2025-12-11, version 6.0.0* The icon for sharing the video to an Apple TV is missing from the playback. This happened before a while ago and was fixed. Broken in latest update. ### 4/5 — Where is the AppleTV App *2025-11-02, version 5.4.1* Excellent content, the app is a bit finicky but what they are truly missing is an app for the AppleTV ### 2/5 — App is not good *2025-10-25, version 5.4.1* Content is good but app is terrible. It is very slow, and I know it’s the app bc everyone other app I use on my phone and accessing the web is fast. Also there are random times where the app literally just doesn’t work at all. For example, right now as I’m typing ### 4/5 — Features *2025-08-09, version 5.0.3* please please please get rid of the tap to unmute. Make it play with sound as soon as you hit the play button. ### 4/5 — Great App, but… *2025-06-25, version 5.0.0* I would give a 5stars if you could scroll the table of contents and keep the video player fixed on top. It’s probably an easy fix I hope developers read my review…. Last update fixed the scrolling, great job, still evaluating the rest of the UI for better feedback 🤙 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No casting to tv? *2026-01-09, version 6.0.3* What kind of monkeys do you have build this app? Casting only does audio, and I can't even go full screen anymore with out the app losing its damn mind. ### 1/5 — Can’t download and can’t Airplay *2025-12-27, version 6.0.2* Thanks to their recent update I can no longer download videos to my phone as a file and I can not consistently airplay videos to my TV. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t open *2025-11-30, version 5.4.1* App pulls up a white screen and never seems to load after. iPhone 13 ### 1/5 — Randomly resets course progress *2025-10-09, version 5.4.1* The app will randomly reset program and start all courses over. I’ve put far too many hours in just to have to constantly forward through videos to find where I left off because an app cannot function properly. ### 1/5 — Won’t let me login *2025-09-12, version 5.4.1* It keeps saying login is wrong but it’s correct and can’t login to my account and then I try to reset password and then I change the password and it says wrong password after putting in the correct password ### 1/5 — Nao reconhece a senha do site *2025-08-31, version 5.4.1* Nao consigo fazer login ### 1/5 — Terrible user account management *2025-08-26, version 5.0.4* If your payment email address is different then the one you create an account with you are screwed until support staff gets back to you. Also if you use a shop account you literally can’t access the app, again until you talk to support staff. This is ridiculous. If you pay $100 for a video, my expectation is that it’s easy to access. ### 1/5 — Terrible update *2025-07-21, version 5.0.0* This app is now useless. You cannot jump around the paid content and downloads for videos do not work. They are all erased once you quit the app and I get an infinite spinner whenever I go to a chapter besides one that the app decides to play. Although the UI on the older version felt a little outdated — it at least could play the video. Now you have a mediocre UI update with virtually no functionality whatsoever. This needs to be fixed immediately. ### 1/5 — New App is Terrible *2025-07-14, version 5.0.0* They just upgraded their app about 3 weeks ago and it no longer saves where you were in the video when you go back to watch later. I also downloaded a bunch of instructional last night which showed green checks indicating that they were downloaded, but when I went to watch them they had all auto deleted less than 24 hours later. ### 1/5 — Não reconhece a senha *2025-06-26, version 5.0.0* App n reconhece o email, só consigo logar no computador ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Why can’t we use Air Play on the tv anymore? *2025-12-12, version 6.0.0* Good app but why can’t we use Air Play on the tv anymore? ### 5/5 — This app has helped my game tremendously *2025-12-10, version 5.4.1* I live in Alaska so I never thought I’d learn from legends like this ### 5/5 — Great app for combat sports *2025-12-03, version 5.4.1* This app has helped me improve a lot over the past couple of years. I first saw it a couple years back and decided to start using it to learn a cradle series. I don’t know what I would have done without this app! ### 5/5 — BJJ Fanatic *2025-11-22, version 5.4.1* Everything you need to level up your training regardless of age or rank. A wide range of training courses form beginners to advanced. Any topic you can think of there is a video tutorial available. Also not just jiu jitsu. There is great striking training available as well. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-11-21, version 5.4.1* Easy to follow and well explained! ### 5/5 — Overcoming Learning Curves *2025-11-21, version 5.4.1* I needed ways to improve my jiu jitsu and judo outsideof practice, so using this app lets me watch sections of a topic at a time so I can pause and practice after at own pace ### 5/5 — LOVE IT *2025-10-30, version 5.4.1* As a practitioner who is in the move this is exactly what I need while traveling. I can still gain knowledge while being away from gym and training partners! ### 5/5 — Simply Amazing! *2025-10-07, version 5.4.1* This app allows you to watch the videos you own as well as purchase products you want. Very good teach by John Danaher as well! ### 5/5 — BJJ Fanatics App *2025-08-20, version 5.0.4* Very useful and helpful ### 5/5 — Neon Icon Licorice belt *2025-06-13, version 3.1.1* Great stuff all around --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
