### 4/5 — From Couch to Cut

*2021-05-12*

Couldn’t get in to this 5 years ago, tried it now to get rid of the Covid pounds while all the gyms and activities are closed. Finished the Beginner program and on to Intermediate, noticing a big difference and am always challenged. Modify as needed. Enjoy! It’s nice to have a fitness app you can buy and don’t have to subscribe to.

### 2/5 — Again, needs some changes

*2016-06-23*

This app needs work PLEASE! The exercises should be broken up differently, there's just no need to do one set of triceps ext (or others) for TWO minutes! I prefer more of a circuit style with more repetition of focus on muscle groups.

And even if put in settings that you have a variety of equipment it doesn't really include them in the workout. 

Also, when the trainer counts reps it results in the volume of your music going up & down, up & down. Keep the timing feature, maybe get rid of counting reps.
Thank you so much!

### 4/5 — Does not link with My Fitness Pal

*2016-01-06*

Despite being advertised in the MyFitnessPal app and having directions for linking on the lolo website the linking option is not functional pending an update with no anticipated release date.
IN THEIR DEFENSE... Customer service offered me a refund on the app purchase once this was made known.  It was just a bit frustrating trying to link it assuming it was my device with the problem and not the app.  Probably should correct their website to display accurate information.
I am choosing to keep the app anyway because I am enjoying the extra push to work just a little bit harder every time.

### 4/5 — Myfitnesspal integration not available

*2015-11-23*

Myfitnesspal integration is not available at the moment, this was one of the reasons I bought it so a little disappointed. As a standalone application it's good.

### 3/5 — Had potential

*2015-11-14*

The workouts look like they had some potential but ended up being too repetitive and boring (amount of time spent on one move). I stopes using it after a few tries.

### 3/5 — The Good & The Bad

*2015-09-11, version 1.7.2*

I bought this app because it's supposed to sync with myfitnesspal but every time I try to send the info to myfitnesspal I get an error. But outside of that I really like it. I use it at the gym and it's easy to follow even if you don't have headphones in.

### 4/5 — Great little app

*2015-04-20*

This is a great app. Not only do you get a great workout between 6 and 20 minutes you can set and change the intensity before and mid workout, you can alter a certain move with a number of options if you don't want as much impact etc. It works quickly with My Fitness Pal and I've found the calories burnt quite accurate. It's so varied from day to day that you don't get bored. Would recommend for anyone that needs a structured workout routine.

### 3/5 — If it would only work like it's supposed to

*2015-04-03, version 1.7.2*

I am so tired of it never starting where I left off. The scroll of exercises in the left will stop, but the exercises keep going. I have to take a snapshot of what exercise I'm on because it always starts over at #3. I've followed tech support advice to reinstall it. Can't you just fix it? Love the program, sick of the glitches. Easy abs and arms does the same thing.

### 4/5 — I highly recommend it!!!

*2015-02-22, version 1.7.2*

I really enjoy working out with this app. the exercises are easy to follow but though.  You will see results if you put your heart into it. My only complaint has to do with the app. Maybe they should try to improve it. I have to adjust the settings every time I'm going to work out.

### 4/5 — Love this app!

*2014-12-05, version 1.7.2*

There are some issues with this app, such as it won't keep up with what day I am on for some reason.  However,  I have lost nearly thirty pounds in a little over a month.  I need to loose about fifty more if that tells you where I started out.  It is not easy, but I though with lots of determination it was doable.  I will continue using this for sure!

### 2/5 — Whoa!

*2014-08-24, version 1.7.2*

This is geared for people who are already fit. Even on beginner settings, too much is expected. Boo.

### 4/5 — Ótimo Aplicativo

*2014-06-19*

O melhor que conheço do estilo "personal". Ganhou 4 estrelas pela falta de atualizações, mas fora isso… sensacional!

### 3/5 — Great app

*2014-06-05, version 1.7.2*

Love these workouts. I don't have to to spend at the gym. I can do these great workouts at home while the kids run circles around me. :)
I'll bump it up to 5 stars when they fix the connection issue with My Fitness Pal.

### 3/5 — BUGS

*2014-05-18, version 1.7.2*

Will not connect with myfitnesspal like it says it can, when trying to connect it connects me to the App Store to download the bootcamp app...I have it already! Please fix bug stopping the connection between myfitnesspal and bootcamp

### 4/5 — Great workouts but music needs help

*2014-04-19*

I love these workouts.  So much variety & a definite challenge.  However if you decide you like the day's workout and leave the app for some reason you will likely come back to a different workout. The reason I gave it 4 stars is the music randomizer/player needs major help. It plays the same songs over and over (with 500 songs to choose from) and will sometimes change songs back to one already played. About to turn off the beat sync and maybe that will help. Very frustrating to have to stop my workout to change music (which often will only let me fast forward or rewind to one of two songs in my playlist).
Other than the fact that the music randomizer needs an overhaul, this is a great fun way to workout.

### 4/5 — Won't sync

*2014-03-18, version 1.7.2*

Apparently I'm not the only one that can't sync to MFP. 

Can't fully rate application since I'm on day 1.

Update!!! To sync to MFP - click on history. On the bootcamp application. :) easy.

### 3/5 — Lots of issues with program now

*2014-03-09, version 1.7.2*

The exercise on the left does not always match what she is doing on the right. The count is off for reps way too fast! Lots of talking over counting. She some times stops counting down. Lots of problems now, was way better before the update. Please fix as I love this app! 😊

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Useless!!!!!

*2018-03-03*

DO NOT BUY THIS APP. I would give this negative stars if I could because this is deceptive!!!  It will work for a while, but then you won’t be able to get in. I used to really like this app but now Lolo did some sort of upgrade and I cannot even get into it. I paid for this app and not I cannot even get into it and there is not even anywhere on the login page to contact anyone for help! They make it so you cannot even get back in. You have to re purchase it!!!  DO DOT BUY THIS APP!!! Unless of course you don’t mind throwing your money away.

### 1/5 — Login required

*2015-10-17, version 2.0*

This app requires registration and login. You must consent to their privacy policy.

### 1/5 — Caiu

*2015-10-08*

Eu adorava esse App, mas aconteceu algo e ele está com uma queda de desempenho. Toda vez que abro agora ele pede pra logar e tem hora que fica tentando e não loga. Alternar app ele reinicia e tá perdendo o histórico de exercícios. Por favor ajeitem. Esse app era muito bom pra cair tanto assim.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2015-04-03*

Really boring, no variation past a point, the only way to increase intensity is by increasing the time you do one of the moves, only 10-15 different moves. Also not really safe, there's no guidance on how to get into each move correctly and do if safely and it's very rushed

### 1/5 — I WANT MY MONEY BACK

*2015-01-24, version 1.7.2*

Hi there so I never purchased this app and i don't appreciate being charged more than it says its cost! Please get back to me asap! Because this is unacceptable!!!

### 1/5 — Just crashes

*2013-12-20, version 1.4.2*

I was super excited to try this app, but I can't even open it...

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2013-04-04, version 1.4.2*

It's just the same things everyday doesn't matter if you're a beginner or expert

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2012-09-11, version 1.0.3*

Freezes after starting exercises.  Useless.

### 1/5 — Great idea in theory

*2012-06-02*

One first proper session. Just crashes at 17 mins so I reload it and it moves up 2 mins please sort. I can see potential but I need motivation not a reason to give up especially after paying over £2 for it

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2012-05-01, version 1.0.3*

It has bad ui interface and it crashes a lot.

### 5/5 — Good little boot camp app!

*2017-10-21*

This boot camp app is simple but effective! You can pick your level, what equipment you have or don’t have, change the intensity, and switch the exercises if you don’t want to do certain ones. I love boot camp classes but I really can’t afford a gym membership and this is a great option for me. I’ve gotten a lot stronger and my body has definitely changed for the better. It works you up time wise to longer workouts each time you do it. I do it probably 2 times a week. If you’re looking for inexpensive way to workout and do a boot camp class, this it.

### 5/5 — 非常易用，有效的健身软件

*2016-02-22*

设置简单，不需要道具就能完成，一套动作做下来非常的舒服

### 5/5 — Awesommme

*2014-08-06*

This app is amazing! Always something different and challenging. Also if you go to history in the app click "connect" a calendar will pop up and you select the date then click "My Fitnesspal" in the top right corner. THIS is how you sync it...so all other users take heed. It's not broken, it just works differently

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2014-04-10*

It progresses as you progress. Great app!

### 5/5 — Very cool app and way cheaper than joining a club!

*2014-02-25*

I was at an expensive boot camp gym ($140 per month for 3x per week) for 2 months.  This app is way better because I was able to load my favorite songs and the app calculates the beats per minute and changes the music as needed.  The demonstrations are great.  The variety is awesome.  I wish it had a countdown timer for each move but not a big deal.  I wish it could ignore me when I hit pause! I currently have it set for beginner and I'm sure there is much more intensity awaiting me.  I haven't figured out how to get it to sync with myfitness pal yet though.  Your supposed to be able to add the workout to it automatically somehow.  I also think that this could be good for apartment dwellers as there's not a whole lot of jumping and bouncing.  Allot of floor work and yoga type moves.  Worth the money to be able to hop out if bed, do this exercise routine and have your own tunes.  Would highly recommend .

### 5/5 — Question

*2014-02-04, version 1.7.2*

How does the app sync up with my fitness pal? And how does this work with beat sync if I'm not holding my phone or if it's not strapped on me.. Can anyone explain?

### 5/5 — Update is fantastic

*2014-01-25, version 1.7.2*

So happy with the new exercises and improved music synching. Was super surprised and had an intense workout today! Love boot camp!

### 5/5 — Great, great App!!

*2013-12-02, version 1.4.2*

100% recommended. It really works!!

### 5/5 — Wow!!!

*2013-11-26, version 1.4.2*

I am part of Bootcamp challenge boot camps here in my town and my trainer actually suggested this.  I love how it shows you how to do the exercises that are done!!!  Love it so far!!!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2013-11-26*

Great app if you don't have time for the gym.
