Downloaded the app today and while the exercises are helpful, information is inaccurate such as muscles worked. The search function also doesn’t work properly. I searched for abdominal exercises with a cable machine and probably over half of the available exercises didn’t populate. ### 2/5 — Downgrade from previous app *2026-08-26, version 5.3.4* I was a long time user of bodybuilding.coms previous workout social app and track, Bodyspace. That app used to be amazing but when it got phased out, i lost all my workout history. I tried to come back and use this new app but it felt stripped of many old features. One major feature is the ability to build workouts as you do them. You can only create templates and can’t edit once the workout starts. I used to use the search exercise feature to find new exercises and variations. Now the search/filter don’t work as cleanly. I can be searching for Bicep/cable and I’ll still get back/machine or other non related exercises. The main thing is like previously stated that i can’t build/ edit my custom workouts once i started exercising. Allow me to build my workouts, reps, exercises, and time as im doing them. Having to rebuild a template to adjust reps or exercises is frustrating and takes more time away from workout. ### 2/5 — Older Version was better *2026-08-23, version 5.3.4* The new version of the app is not intuitive. I want to supplement movements based on available equipment but I’m unable to. Also hard to track the strength progression without having a spot to log the weight. ### 3/5 — Not great, not terrible *2026-07-28, version 5.3.3* Old BodySpace app was better but this has potential. It’s not as intuitive as the old one. One issue I’m having is I can’t seem to find out to delete past workouts. I’ve initiated a few workouts but they got messed up so I had to start a new one and now I have a mess of workouts that never happened in my history. Please address this. ### 2/5 — Missing the old app *2026-07-18, version 5.3.3* Can’t add new exercises to keep track of my routine cause there not in the library and I can’t add it like the old app did .plus miss the old set up more it was easier and faster to set up for a work out . Pls update this feature just bring the old app back it was way much better then this Miss the the articles along with easier tracking your and nice layout, this new version idoesn’t work half the time or the videos really disappointed I thought they would work on it more ### 2/5 — Missing the old app *2026-07-08, version 5.3.3* Can’t add new exercises to keep track of my routine cause there not in the library and I can’t add it like the old app did .plus miss the old set up more it was easier and faster to set up for a work out . Pls update this feature. ### 2/5 — Horrible App *2026-06-23, version 5.3.3* This app is horrible. It’s difficult to use and it doesn’t work correctly. I have a subscription and it will not allow me to access workouts, even though I’ve paid for the workouts. Also, it doesn’t function properly when I can access it. bodybuilding.com has a lot of work to do with this app. It’s actually the worst I’ve ever used. ### 4/5 — Getting *2026-06-22, version 5.3.3* Love having the programs I’ve followed on BodyBuilding.com for years built in an app that tracks progress. I will say when they first launched it, it had a ton of issues but, it looks like the developers have made a lot of updates and fixes since launching and it is improving. So, if you have up on the app after the major update, you might want to give it another go. I do wish they made some of the supplemental material for the programs available. Back when these were on the website, they would include PDFs of things like diet and an overview of the entire program. Another big drawback is that you can’t do more than one workout program at once or it will kick you off the existing one. I also wish it would save the weight for your last set for the next for each workout, instead of zeroing out watch set. ### 1/5 — Use to be great app, sucks now *2026-06-04, version 5.3.2* This app use to be great until they turned it into a social media platform. It use to be all about the workouts but the app lost so many features with the new update. It burns through so much of my battery if I’m using it and listening to music I can’t go into the gym with less than 50%. The rest period timers don’t make any sense. Super sets in the app don’t save correctly. Saving my workout history is a hit or miss. I still used the app after the big update hoping they would fix all the issues. They did fix some and I did suggest a few via instagram and saw them implemented. So that was nice. But no one asked for the social media platform and their server and interface does not look like it was built to sustain it. They should have made the apps separate, a workout app “BodyFit” and a social media app maybe called “BodyFitBook” or something. Melting both ideas together before establishing market demand sandbag the great aspects of the fitness app and created disdain for the social platform. Not recognizing your competition is Instagram and the quality of their platform already far exceeds what you released. It seemed like all of your trainers hated the update as much as everyone else because all of their lives people were shouting how much we hated it and no one wanted to address the issue. The trainers ignored the cries of the people like a red headed step child. Icing on the cake is I’ve still been paying the $9.99 monthly subscription and using the app on a regular basis. Then today I go to look at my workouts and it says I need to pay the subscription fee… again! I just got charged last week! Now I can’t do my workout. I can’t justify this anymore. I’m switching to Hevy. ### 1/5 — Can’t restore purchases *2026-06-02, version 5.3.2* Reached out to bodybuilding support multiple times with no response. Used the old app for years without issue. This update just sucks, can’t even use it. ### 1/5 — The old app was better *2026-06-01, version 5.3.2* This new one is not flexible with tracking workouts - if you’re in a program you cannot change exercises/substitute if needed bc of injury or availability of equipment. App is very glitchy as well have had a lot of problems with it. The old app occasionally had a glitch here and there but nothing major. Download this app if you want one that crashes/ glitches and makes tracking workouts frustrating. ### 1/5 — WORST APP, WASTE OF $$$$ *2026-05-31, version 5.3.2* This app is probably the worst workout app I have ever used. I am disappointed at the fact that it glitches 50% of the time, it doesn’t save progress as it should, it crashes randomly, you spend at least 30 mins logging your 2 hour workouts for it to later NOT SAVE your progress. Waste of money, I want a refund. ### 2/5 — Incorrect information recording *2026-05-30, version 5.3.2* Will not renew. I noticed that the app constantly records the wrong data after I review it every time. I thought it was a fluke. Then I noticed after every workout it lists the wrong data as I write it before I enter it. Additionally, the tool does not show what I lifted the session before for every exercise. I have to open the prior workout and write it down. No quality assurance performed nor review of competing solutions for their features. ### 1/5 — Lost over 5 years of workout data *2026-05-30, version 5.3.2* Extremely disappointed that Bodybuilding.com discontinued BodySpace and erased over 5 years of my workout history. BodySpace wasn’t just an app—it was a training log containing years of workouts, progress, and personal records. Retiring a platform is one thing; wiping out user data is another. Losing that much history has completely destroyed my trust in the platform. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-05-22, version 5.3.2* There are so many issues with this app. I am constantly having to go back and click through workouts that I already completed earlier in the week to track completion. Bodybuilding.com and its apps haven’t been the same since they got greedy and stopped offering workouts for free and went the subscription route yet somehow the apps haven’t more issues and the workouts are more difficult to access. ### 3/5 — Some plans with two workouts per day throw error *2026-05-21, version 5.3.2* 1- I’m currently doing one of Kris Gethin’s plans, to be specific 8 weeks hardcore the point is that when trying to enter the cardio workout it says Type Null it’s Not a subtype of type string in type cast. 2- I would like that when you bring it to the program, the completed days are already marked, but I don’t know if because of the previous error that doesn’t let me mark the cardio day is not completed or I don’t see the day marked as complete, I suspect that if ### 1/5 — Never seen such a useless workout app. *2026-05-19, version 5.3.2* This app used to be perfect for tracking workouts and setting up your own program. They updated it with all this needless junk, terrible formatting, annoying timers and 5 different buttons to press just to log a set, and ugly font. IT DOESN’T EVEN TELL YOU WHAT WEIGHT OR REPS YOU DID ON THAT EXERCISE IN YOUR LAST WORKOUT. WHAT IS THE POINT OF A WORKOUT TRACKING APP WITH ZERO TRACKING? It used to do this. Ruined a perfect thing for no reason. ### 1/5 — IDK *2026-05-19, version 5.3.2* Great! You finally brought back the bodybuilding app. But now you want us to pay for something we once had access to for free…? From the website to the app, you all have lost focus on who your target audience really is. ### 1/5 — New app is terrible *2026-05-07, version 5.3.1* I have used this at various times throughout the years and recently redownloaded and resubscribed to access a plan I like. Despite subscribing everything is still paywalled - tried deleting and redownloading the app and now it won’t let me past a scree that says I have to allow notifications (if I click “don’t allow” it won’t move on to the next screen…). I don’t know what you guys have done but if you listen to your customers at all you should go back to the old app - this current one is a big blunder! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update or downgrade *2026-08-16, version 5.3.4* I have been using bodybuilding app for years and stopped for a while for my pregnancy and was excited to come back just to find out that all the diet plans and the easy to follow format of the workouts is lost. I wish they gave me the option to use the old app ### 1/5 — I can’t look for products unless I am logged in.. *2026-08-09, version 5.3.4* Unfortunately, I can’t use the app without being logged in, which makes it essentially useless for me. Because of this limitation, the app has become obsolete in my experience, so I deleted it and went back to the regal homepage. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Absolute GARBAGE *2026-08-03, version 5.3.4* This app is absolute garbage and does nothing but ROB the user of $9.99. I subscribed and the app would not allow me to open ANY programs. 0/5 stars. Absolute TRASH. ### 1/5 — Terrible update *2026-07-22, version 5.3.3* What was once the best workout app for programs and tracking is now terrible. Used the previous version for years then it was updated and totally changed. Keep thinking they’ll bring back the old app but hasn’t and probably won’t happen. ### 1/5 — Mr smith *2026-07-20, version 5.3.3* What happen to this app? Used to be the best for tracking workouts now it’s the worst. Looking for something else… ### 1/5 — App down for nearly 2 weeks. *2026-07-13, version 5.3.3* ****Update 2026**** Wow this app has gotten worse. I signed up for a promised 7 day trial and was immediately billed. So I gave it a go, what can I say it’s an unusable fall from grace from the simple clean UI of the distant past. Avoid this app. —————— I missed the programs this app had, so after a long hiatus, I came back and… well deleted it promptly. Everything from the Font to the UI basic usability is a failure. They managed to make it near unusable from how the app was years ago. Do not install, pass this app up. They have a record of failure that your reps could ever achieve. Can Apple please audit this app and remove it from the store? It’s time bodybuilding.com shape up or lose the privilege of reach to users on iOS. ——— When this app works it’s great, but currently it has not been accessible for nearly 2 weeks. Fortunate for me my auto renewal would have started in a few days so I was able to cancel it. Please fix the app and I will come back, until then I advise anyone to look elsewhere for a fitness app. EDIT: Keeping it the one star they earned. Took weeks for them to acknowledge the app went down, been using this app for years and it’s apparent the dev lost focus on the community. Switched to Boostcamp, BodyFit needs to vastly update this app and put redundancies in place to minimize downtime before I would consider subscribing again. ### 1/5 — New app layout is frustrating *2026-06-29, version 5.3.3* I used to have great success with this app until they updated it. The new layout is overly complicated and doesn’t sync well some of the programs. I used to love doing Jim Stoppani’s 6Weeks to Shred but the app makes it functionally impossible to navigate and the accelerated cardio times don’t work. It’s beyond frustrating fighting with an app when you’re just trying to get through your workout. I wish I could just use the old version. This feels like a waste of money and a complete disappointment. ### 1/5 — Latest update *2026-06-22, version 5.3.3* Why you removed workout set weight number entry ? There is only set number but cant put in the weight. ### 1/5 — Barely functional *2026-06-17, version 5.3.3* Virtually every time I try to open the app, there is an issue with logging in, selecting a workout, or being able to select any option. The technical issues are embarrassing. ### 1/5 — Can’t see my workout program *2026-06-12, version 5.3.2* Can’t see my workout program. It just brings me to a subscription page each time, despite the fact that I’m already subscribed ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cart *2026-07-24, version 5.3.3* Great app, however it needs to be updated, because RN, items cannot be added to the cart 🛍️💸 ### 5/5 — Improvements *2025-09-16, version 5.1.2* App is great but two things need upgrading: 1. The annoying loud bee between sets. There has to be a way an ON/OFF switch. 2. The timer between sets stops if you do anything else like answering a text or checking your email ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-09-13, version 5.1.2* It covers everything that you need in the gym application ### 5/5 — App *2025-09-03, version 5.1.2* Shuts down right when u need it ### 5/5 — Inoperable *2025-08-04, version 5.1.2* This app was great, but now I can’t even stay logged in. As soon as I click on a program, it logs me out instantly. Once I log back in, I try to click on anything, and it logs me back out. ### 5/5 — Still a good fitness app, just not as good as it used to be *2025-05-30* They added doomscrolling to a bodybuilding app… why we’re just trying to use your app for like workout programs or workouts because it used to be amazing for that NOT doomscrolling in the middle of workouts. Also the programs they have now don’t really work as they used to like I can finish a day rate it 5 stars show my energy level and everything and the app will still not save that day so I have to use my camera app (yeah Ik it sounds crazy) to take a photo of like 6-7 days of the workouts they have and manually check out each day I have done because it doesn’t save workouts. Not to mention the fact that it’s way harder to find the program you subscribed to. In the old Bodyfit app which is what this was called, you could easily find your workout programs, go to the gym, and save your workout. It was a perfect app I would say but now it has honestly too many random things added to it and it has some flaws. ### 5/5 — Incredible app. But how do you delete a workout you already recorded? *2025-04-05, version 5.1.2* Incredible app! ### 5/5 — New update *2025-03-26, version 5.1.2* All was good until update. I login in and try to click on my workout program and it logs me out. Now I can’t even get to my work out ### 5/5 — New update *2025-01-14, version 5.0.4* Well last week I wrote a negative review about the update as I have been a subscriber of this app for a while now and I only gave them 1 star . Bit after all the fixes body fit have done and the update is beginning to look like just a better version of the old , I am now giving 5 stars ,,, thank you for listing body fit ### 5/5 — Don't waste your money *2025-01-09* 5* so ppl will see. Yeah. Let's add an update that gets rid of your music and only lets you see ONLY the exact workout you're on instead of looking at the whole session for the day (at any point). Plus we'll use tiktok holiday font to stay EDGY and make things unnecessarily "hip". We'll also add a social media element to this update!!! That literally nobody wanted. We'll also put it on the front page of the app, then be super surprised Pikachu face (but still double down in the comments about how GOOD the update is) when literally the WHOLE community speaks out in the social media tab about how awful the update is. No self awareness. Unusable app. Buyer be warned. I canceled early because of this. I still have 3 months pre-paid on the now unusable app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
