Have to close app and restart. considering deleting app and downloading a different app all together. And fact that you want us to buy the app to have more than 6 workouts in a session is ridiculous do better. ### 3/5 — No categories for glute workouts *2024-12-16, version 1.23.6* Just like a lot of other workout apps this one doesn’t cater to the girlies doing full glute days. It would be great to be able to search for glute exercises and include glute focused routines ### 4/5 — Workouts don’t match GIFs *2024-12-16, version 1.23.6* Several workouts don’t match the description or GIF. Easy to go through and fix hopefully ### 5/5 — Overall great, but won’t save to data to Apple Health *2024-11-08, version 1.23.6* I’ve been using this for years and have been very happy. Flexible, easy to use, and a lot of routine and exercise options. Nice design as well. Was 5 stars, but: Since ios18 update, my workout history (for many years) is gone from Apple Health app. It is still within this app. I’ve tried everything. I’m hoping the can fix it although I’ve reached out several times with no response. So they may not be working on this app anymore. Update 11/8/24: app developer reached out and trouble shooted some issues with me. It’s working again. So it is an active app and I still highly recommend it! ### 4/5 — Overall great, but won’t save to data to Apple Health *2024-11-03* I’ve been using this for years and have been very happy. Flexible, easy to use, and a lot of routine and exercise options. Nice design as well. Was 5 stars, but: Since ios18 update, my workout history (for many years) is gone from Apple Health app. It is still within this app. I’ve tried everything.

So they may not be working on this app anymore. **Developer response:** Hi there, sorry for the delay in responding! We’re working on a fix and should have an update later this week. ### 2/5 — There’s no perfect workout app. *2024-10-04, version 1.23.5* I have so many of these workout apps on my phone, trying to find the perfect one and the silly part is - it’s really not that hard but yet no app has got it right yet and it’s as simple as going to the gyms around you and making sure if there’s a machine in there that there’s a workout in the app that aligns with that. No app has got that down yet. Not a single one and there’s only so many machines and manufacturer’s for machines. Adding everything as custom is very cumbersome and for some machines - like try to type Glute in this app - not a single thing comes up - seriously? Ok I add it as custom - body part - glute isn’t on there either. I guess the search continues. ### 5/5 — Amazing App with a great team *2024-08-12, version 1.23.2* Stumbled on this app a few years ago and I haven’t made the switch since. The app offers great features and flexibility to help track all of my workouts. The dev team is consistently making updates to enhance user experience and are very responsive to feedback! 10/10 would recommend. ### 5/5 — Simple and free *2024-07-24, version 1.22.5* Simple to use and has all the features you would want for tracking ### 2/5 — Useless subscription for bodyweight exercises *2024-05-21, version 1.22.5* I was looking for a complete workout app and was curious about the content of Bolt. It may be that the concept was developed with a lot of attention to detail, but for my purposes, however, I could only find a few basic bodyweight exercises. The focus seems to me to be on free weights. Unfortunately, the investment wasn't worth it for me. ### 4/5 — Timer doesn’t work when not on the app *2024-04-11, version 1.22.5* I think this app is great. My only gripe is I can’t change out of the app to look at something else, when I set a timer between sets. The timer just stops. So I have to keep the app open. If they can fix that I would give them 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Great for planning and logging workouts *2024-01-29, version 1.22.5* Bolt is outstanding for logging and planning workouts. I use it for body weight exercises at home. It’s intuitive to use and very functional, with many options you can choose from to edit and expand your workouts on the fly. It also has video links on the exercises so you can see the right form if you’re new. ### 5/5 — no ads very nice *2024-01-16, version 1.22.5* clean. ### 5/5 — Account needed *2023-11-23, version 1.22.5* I really happily used Bolt a year or so ago and just wanted to get started again because I really liked it. Now I‘m a bit confused, why I need to make an account to just continue what I was already doing. Stop collecting data of users and stop forcing them to create just another account for a task they don’t really need one to use its functionality. ### 5/5 — THE best workout planner and log *2023-10-11, version 1.22.1* This does pretty much everything you need it to, at a reasonable price, and is always being updated with new platform features (the newest being interactive widgets). The developers know how to cram everything you need into this app without over-complicating things. If you lift, get this now. It’s perfect. ### 2/5 — Try’s to make you pay in the middle of your workout *2023-10-07, version 1.22.1* Just get a cheaper app this one is nothing special. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes constantly *2025-12-03, version 1.23.6* Love this app but it crashes every single time I use it, at some point during a workout it stops responding and I have to force close it and re-open it to run it. So frustrating ### 1/5 — Constant crashing *2025-10-01, version 1.23.6* The app crashes consistently. In a 2 hour workout it will crash at least 5 times. It’s not a sophisticated, complex app there is no reason it should freeze/crash that frequently. ### 1/5 — Greed and just another bad programmer’s job *2024-12-15, version 1.23.6* False start, nomtasticapps! ### 1/5 — Can’t process subscriptions and email is down *2023-11-29, version 1.22.5* DO. NOT. BUY! I let my subscription lapse and went to re-up. It’s still pending after days, all emails to workoutwithbolt.com bounce. They released an update right before BF and then went to sleep, presumably without a QA step. AVOID! ### 1/5 — Now they require a login thru Apple *2023-01-10, version 1.21.4* Why do you make a user login? Don’t bother with this app. Find a better one ### 1/5 — Try’s to make you pay in the middle of your workout *2022-09-14, version 1.19.6* Title says it all ### 1/5 — Cant save a workout *2022-02-09, version 1.19.2* I tried to save a days worth of training and could not figure it out. It looks promising but was a disappointment ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2022-01-20, version 1.19.2* Does not work, they want you to buy it for any decent features to work ### 1/5 — Paid Usage *2020-09-30, version 1.17.1* I downloaded this app in hopes of having a decent experience with a free version of the app. Generally, fitness apps have a basic version then an optional premium membership which just wasn’t the case. Don’t download this app if you’re hoping for a free membership. ### 1/5 — Not Freemium. *2020-09-23, version 1.17* No free version of this app. You hit a subscription fee wall when you first open the app. Do not download assuming there are any free features. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Worth it *2026-09-03, version 1.23.6* Great for tracking and customizing your workouts, includes functionality for rest between sets and ability to add various types of exercises and workouts, i.e. intervals super sets, etc. ### 5/5 — What I need *2026-09-01, version 1.23.6* Has the features I want and not a bunch of ads or other nonsense. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed *2026-08-22, version 1.23.6* Finally found an app that makes logging my lifts and keeping up with my gym progress completely effortless. ### 5/5 — Great lifting log *2026-07-24, version 1.23.6* Very easy to use ### 5/5 — The Best Weightlifting App *2026-07-07, version 1.23.6* I have used this application as my primary gym app for 3+ years. I didn’t have a subscription at first, but now I subscribe every year. It’s perfect. I love how you can add different exercises. The subscription really isn’t that much and I’m just so happy with what this app provides. ### 5/5 — Bolt workout App *2026-03-26, version 1.23.6* Just love love the app. I have used it for 2 or 3 years. I am a weightlifter and a senior. It is easy to adapt and adjust to my needs. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-01-16, version 1.23.6* Really enjoy using the app ### 5/5 — Got me to switch *2025-01-22, version 1.23.6* I’ve been using Bolt for a few months and it’s got me to switch from my 8 year reliance on pen and paper. There are a bunch of little improvements I’d like to see but it looks as though most of them are already on the developer’s road map. I can surely sense the thoughtfulness and passion that’s gone into this application. Happy to be a part of the Bolt user community and I look forward to see where the app goes from here. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2024-12-23, version 1.23.6* But i would love it to have it in german language ### 5/5 — Bolt - certainly will make u big *2024-12-15, version 1.23.6* If the illustrated pictgrams can have zoom feature would be perfect. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
