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

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!

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.

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!

Not “at home” friendly
I love Brett’s stuff & was REALLY wanting to love this app BUT can only workout at home right now & the “at home” version has things like - the leg press machine on there🙈 Most average home gyms do not have that equipment. After my 1st two days, EVERY day there were 1-3 of the exercises that I had to modify… as it used some piece of gum equipment that was beyond what I would consider an average home gym - really sad because I was planning to be a long term subscriber & had to quit after 1 month :( I hope they change this in the future. To me a home gym is dumbbells and maybe some resistance bands (plus cardio equipment)

Always something wrong.
The workouts itself are fine, tracking is nice, but literally EVERY week there’s a glitch: can’t access app, doesn’t track, screen freezes, doesn’t save workouts. I’m about to not renew my membership because of this. If it was a once or twice thing, fine, but it’s happening waaay too often that it’s frustrating to drive to gym and can’t access or track workouts, such a waste of time & money.

Great Programming, Frustrating App Experience
I know this app is still fairly new, but the constant glitches are becoming a major frustration. I've experienced issues with the app not logging in, logging me out unexpectedly, and not displaying my progress correctly.
The biggest problem is when I'm at the gym with limited time and can't access my workout because the app won't let me log in. I've even ended up using the wrong workout from the website because I couldn't access the app. It disrupts my training and makes it difficult to follow the program as intended.
At this point, I honestly find myself wishing I could go back to the old Excel version. It may not have been as modern or convenient, but it was reliable, easy to access, and never prevented me from completing my workouts.
I really enjoy the programming, but the technical issues are starting to get in the way of the overall experience.

The app is nice but why deprecating the original website
Ever since the app went online they have been deprecating things in the original website, e.g., the workout log sheet. Today I noticed most of that exercise videos show ‘not exist’. Not everyone wants to use the app to track their exercises and please keep the original option maintained.
Crashes constantly
Can’t even get through a workout without the app crashing and making me log in again (which takes several times opening and closing the app) and it resets all my options.
Great program, glitchy app
Awesome program, love Bret’s work. This is app though is so glitchy and crashes all the time. Logs me out frequently. Blank program screens. Have to constantly delete it and redownload for it to work.
The best!
Bret is so knowledgeable, and he and his awesome team have a great training plan. The app is the icing on the cake. It’s super easy to use! You can tell they are dedicated to getting things right. New apps always need tweaking at first, especially when there is a BIG audience waiting! This was worth the wait, and they keep making it even better!
UPDATE: this is a complex app and a couple times there have been tech issues. But they are always ON IT! They fix it quickly and are very responsive. So, also 5 stars for customer service.

Glitchy …but fixed in under a minutes or two
Love this app! I’ve been using/paying for this program since 2019 and I couldn’t be happier that an app is finally available! Thank you.
