### 1/5 — App not connecting with iPhone anymore

*2022-02-07, version 3.0.4*

Since it is almost impossible to diagnose whether it is a hardware issue or software issue I assumed that the app started to have problems with connecting and synchronizing with the M5 trainer. It’s very frustrating and there is almost no support (Facebook, emails doesn’t work). I think this app is not being maintained anymore since the newer trainer use the new JRNY app?

### 2/5 — Not properly synching with Apple Health when using watch.

*2021-12-29, version 3.0.4*

This app was fine until I got an Apple Watch. Now I want my workouts to sync and not duplicate/overlap. Other apps handle this just fine. It seems the time that the app records for the workout is out of sync with the phone/watch. So Apple Heath thinks it’s a different workout than the one the watch recorded. Pretty annoying. I don’t see any way to fix the time issue. You can see in Apple Health that the Max Trainer app is recording the wrong time not the watch.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2021-10-29, version 3.0.4*

Bowflex Max Trainer app is worthless garbage. To be fair, the M5 machine is great and highly effective. But the app is a waste of time. My first workout said I burned 2 calories, second day I burned 5633. Yes, over five thousand calories in a 14 minute session. Now it doesn’t sync at all. I’m uninstalling and keeping track in a different app.

### 1/5 — Apple Health Integration Broken

*2021-05-19, version 3.0.4*

I have no issues with the app connecting to the device via Bluetooth, however it seems impossible to add the app as a data source to apple health.

### 1/5 — Worthless. No support help.

*2021-04-07, version 3.0.4*

I’ve had my bowflex M6 for over a week now and it won’t connect or sync to the app. I’ve emailed customer service twice with no response.

### 4/5 — Tracks Workouts!

*2021-03-25, version 3.0.4*

I love this app. It’s simple and easy. No subscription or proprietary programs. Simply tracks workouts AND connects the data to other apps like Apple Health and Fitness. Super useful. I hope Bowflex keeps it updated!!

### 3/5 — Please update the app. Thank you.

*2021-03-17, version 3.0.4*

Looks terrible on iPhone mini 12.

### 1/5 — We pay and get 0 support

*2021-02-24, version 3.0.4*

I’m constantly slapping myself for purchasing the M7. Why pay a thousand plus dollars for equipment that the company does not continue to support? Stupid, Stupid, stupid...I don’t blame the company I blame me for thinking, no assuming this would have lasted more than a few gens of an iPhone. But, make no mistake I for one will NEVER 👎🏽 make a purchase with Bowflex again!

### 1/5 — Sad app all around

*2021-02-17, version 3.0.4*

Welcome to 2021 bowflex. When your app should fit correctly in the screen for phones with a notch since they’ve existed for years. Fitness Apps should properly sync with phones and watches so they reflect workouts. No updates in 2 years? What an awful experience for users. Be better.

### 1/5 — Don’t work with Apple Health

*2020-07-08, version 3.0.4*

The app doesn’t work with Apple Health, I’ve tried following the steps they have listed and their app doesn’t show up as requesting access to data. Don’t bother with the app, it’s worthless.
