Amazing workouts - awful app UX
I’m only writing this review in hopes it will get back to the developers and they will make some serious improvements. This app UI is great and the workouts are the absolute best! Bret is the goat for a reason!! So I have nothing bad to say about that aspect. But I absolutely despise this app and how laggy it is. Trying to do one simple thing like change the weight and it freezes/lags trying to enter the numbers. Sometimes it’ll crash and close out all together. Just so frustrating and I hope some improvements can be made to make it more seamless.

Trash
The app is complete garbage. It's unusable. It's crashes and it glitches constantly. Customer service is a nightmare. Customer support is pointless. They responded no need to reply to this email were working on it. They have yet to fix the issues and it's been at least a year.
Great fitness aid
The Booty By Bret program is highly touted and provides results. The BBB app provides multiple workout approaches and options, and includes coach feedback, video demonstrations, and data logging to track progress. Although there are a few app usage bumps here and there, I would say most are “user errors”. The BBB technical team is very helpful and responsive in addressing user issues.

Great App!
Love that the app has videos before each exercise the program schedules for each workout day. If you’d rather sub out an exercise, the app lets you skip the current one and look up the substitution to add that exercise to your workout that day. Bret also has a video going over the goals and instructions for the workout month so you can know what to expect. I started this program before the app came out so this is a great addition and much more convenient as you really have everything you need all in one place!! Thank you!!

Great Workouts, Frustrating App
I really love the workouts and the programming, but unfortunately the app itself is extremely frustrating to use. For $30 a month, I expect the app to function much better than it does.
The lag is constant and makes it difficult to get through a workout. I’ll be trying to log sets, move to the next exercise, or save a completed workout, and the app will freeze or take forever to respond. It ends up delaying my workouts and taking away from what should be a great experience.
I’ve already opened multiple support tickets, updated the app, logged out, rebooted, and tried the recommended troubleshooting. If anything, the most recent update seems to have made the problem worse. I’ve even had completed workouts fail to save correctly.
I also tried submitting feedback directly through the app, but the feedback form itself wouldn’t even submit.
I genuinely enjoy the workouts and would like to continue using the program, but at $30 per month, the app needs to be reliable. I really hope the developers focus on fixing the performance and lag issues because the workouts are great! the app just makes them unnecessarily frustrating.

LOVE THIS PROGRAM AND THE APP!
I have been a Booty By Bret member for almost two years now and I absolutely love this program! The app is a game changer in helping you complete and track your workouts as well.
This program is extremely flexible, allowing you to choose whether you work out in a gym, a home gym, or at home with only dumbbells and bands. On top of that, you can customize your workouts to be 3, 4, or 5 days a week. That’s a ton of flexibility!
The app makes it easy to log workouts, weights used, reps/sets completed and more. If you’re unable to do an exercise for whatever reason and need to substitute it for something else, the app also offers similar movement alternatives if available. I’ve seen a ton of progress and muscle growth since joining BBB and am excited to see where the program continues to take me!

Review is for app only
Bret's workout are fantastic but the app is NOT. The app has constant issues and glitches. The app times out and crashes continuously. The issues make it difficult to complete workouts. You find yourself keeping another app to track. The app is disappointing. They really need to upgrade so it can be functional.

Amazing
I tried his program awhile back and I remember feeling like it was confusing and I didn’t care for it. But he must have made some awesome changes this app is so good. The structure is clear, plenty of videos to help understand the exercises, as well as written info. I felt very confident doing this at the gym, which has been a problem for me historically. I am actually excited to try the next workout and that is rare too. I think this is something I will stick with, finally. I highly recommend this app. You have options to pay monthly, quarterly or yearly. I started with quarterly but will probably do yearly since it saves a little. And you don’t have to have access to a gym either. You can do a plan with dumbbells and booty bands at home too. Very comprehensive

Great complement to Bret’s program
I love the app, since it launched there have been some glitches here and there (as you would expect from a beta), but the app itself is well designed and it’s excellent to access the program as well as additional material (like the tutorials and workout videos), and to keep track of progress. A massive step up from PDFs and external links.

Best program, Worst app
There is, in my opinion, no better, body-changing program for women out there. Bret is a science guy with deep knowledge on the published research and a great coach/programmer. Alongwith a proper diet, this program has allowed me to experience actual body recomposition. In short, my body has never looked better or been anywhere near as strong. The app, however, is horrendously poor. It stopped working properly several iOS updates ago and now is barely functional. Incredibly frustrating loooooong lag to do anything at all. It’s a shame because the app includes many great features, but you can’t use them without waiting an eternity. I just screenshot the workout and ditch the app at times. Fix it, please!

Amazing program, very poor app
The Booty By Bret program is one of the best out there. This app is awful, so many glitches, and every time I email I get told it’s resolved then another glitch. It doesn’t always show the right workouts, it’s confuses the pump days, and when you go back out of an exercise it takes you to the start. This has been operating for months now, instead of continued fixes which don’t improve issues or create further ones, a permanent fixture needs to be implemented

Glitches are crazy
The workout program itself is good but the app interface is the worst I’ve ever used. Always glitching and crashing. I’ve been using the app since it came out and every update is worse than the last with more or new problems. Unfortunately, I’ll need to cancel soon if it’s not fixed.
App needs work
Workouts are great, app is hit or miss. Lots of glitches and limitations. Been problems for at least 6 months, so not a new user.
Customers service
As a customer of Booty By Bret for approximately three years, I have experienced exceptional service . During this time, I have only needed to contact support twice for technical issues. Each time, the response was prompt, thorough, and effective in resolving my concerns. I am highly impressed with the professionalism and dedication of the team supporting Bret. Their commitment to excellent customer service, combined with the quality of the programming, has left me extremely satisfied. I commend Bret's choice in assembling such a competent and responsive customer service team.

THE BEST!
Bret and team do an amazing job! I’m so glad to be part of this community! Don’t sleep on this!
App is a game changer
I love the BBB programming. The workouts are challenging, videos make it easy to learn, and the BBB community is one of the bets on the internet. Before the app I struggled to enter the workouts into another app and then click back and forth to the BBB website to watch form videos during a workout. The app has made all of that so seamless. Plus I love being able to track my progress and easily see what weight I did the last time I did an exercise. It’s the best workout program and app I’ve used!

Terrible
Terrible! A veces no deja guardar los resultados, se pausa muchísimo o simplemente no abre y toda la pantalla queda en blanco. Toca esperar hasta que vuelva a funcionar.
Además, algunos días no permite agregar un nuevo ejercicio y otros sí.
Otra cosa que me disgusta es que, si hoy hice la rutina de piernas del miércoles y quiero continuar con el mismo peso la próxima vez, no puedo ver con qué peso iba. Me toca regresar a la semana anterior para revisar los pesos que usé y poder continuar.

App isn’t consistent
This app is still glitching. Takes forever to open. When I list my rep weight and count it just keeps getting hung up. And that’s after the latest update. Just seems like it’s always something with this app and not working consistently.
I don’t recommend this app
I would strongly recommend waiting until the app is significantly more developed before subscribing. Unfortunately, my experience has been deeply disappointing. At its current stage, I do not believe it justifies the $30 monthly subscription fee, nor does it reflect the level of quality, expertise, and value that I have come to associate with Bret’s work and reputation.
What made the experience even more frustrating is the lack of a refund option, which leaves customers paying for a product that may not meet their expectations or the standards that were implied. I genuinely hope the app improves over time, but in its current form, I cannot recommend it.

Great program, great concept, but the app…
I love the program, I’ve been following it since even before the app came out. I want to keep loving it. Bret has clearly put so much thought and effort in, from the workout programming to the instructional videos and workout breakdowns every month. I so appreciate his knowledge. The way the app is SUPPOSED to work, with the trackers and timers would be impeccable. However. Someone is really dropping the ball. The app is so insanely and consistently glitchy. In fact, it’s worse now than it was on the very first week it came out. Freezes, can’t save workouts, kicks me out randomly, looks like it’s saved a workout but then it doesn’t carry over. The list goes on. I’ve had to start opening it on the drive to the gym because I know it’ll take forever to come up. I’m strongly considering getting a tracker app and then either going off program or maybe following on the web based version, which I think still exists. The potential is so close you could touch it, it’s a shame it falls short of what I’m sure Brett was aiming for!
