### 5/5 — Just What I Need

*2026-04-28*

Logs notes from each class, rolls, what submissions work for me, what submissions I fall for and tap to (I log a lot of those). Pulls all the data together in a clean way. I like that I can export the data for analysis outside the app if I want. 

Latest update seems to have worked out a lot of bugs that made it laggy. That made me come on here and endorse it with 5 stars. Excited to continue using it.

### 5/5 — Great overall, active devs

*2026-04-24*

a little bit buggy but gets way better after each update. maybe add a way to remove a custom move after it is added, cuz i accidentally made like 7 of the same one 😅

### 1/5 — Don’t trust this app

*2025-10-03, version 3.74*

Randomly, all data that I had been entering for years just disappeared. I tried contacting customer support and no one replies. Avoid this app

### 5/5 — Great app for training tracking

*2025-09-19, version 3.73*

Aura

### 1/5 — Uninstalled twice and made new accounts. Stops working each time.

*2025-08-22, version 3.73*

Advertised features stop working and all training log dates revert to the August 23 1970 for some reason.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2025-08-06, version 3.73*

Beats writing in my notebook

### 5/5 — Solid tracker

*2025-01-23*

I just started Jiu Jitsu and one way I hold myself accountable is tracking my classes and if it’s no gi or gi. This does both as well as how many rounds you rolled and the time and notes etc. It has lots of cool features.

### 1/5 — UI issues

*2024-11-27, version 3.68*

Lots of bugs can pick a date for goals, comp results do not show up, a lot of UI issues that need to be resolved.

### 2/5 — Buggy, basic journaling is broken, loses data

*2024-09-13*

I was entering detailed notes on my session, tapped save, got the save confirmation. Unfortunately it only saved one sentence and lost everything else. This app has so many interesting and advanced features and detailed settings but if I can’t trust it to save basic notes all of that is for nothing. Going back to using the Notes app.

### 2/5 — Lots of potential but lots of bugs too

*2024-08-01*

I really wanted to use this app, but unfortunately, the frustration of using it has now overshadowed the benefits.  I like the layout and design, but every time I use the app it either looses information I’m entering or buttons stop working or when I try to save a log it looses the data in part or whole.  If the developers can work out these glitches I think they will have a winning app, but for now it’s unusable.  Feels like it’s not even quite ready for beta, if I’m honest.
