### 3/5 — Brink is a great app

*2025-12-11, version 6.9*

So far so good I’m just now getting used to the app asked me to do a review and I think it’s doing a really good job so far we’ll see how it works. Soon!!

### 4/5 — Great app with tons of potential!

*2025-08-26, version 6.9*

I love the simplicity and Ai incorporation of this app! As someone who has tried almost every app in the market, this one is what I’ve been looking for… that being said , in the future I would love to see more about tracking progress.. maybe a spot to upload photos as your journey continues.. maybe a page dedicated to tracking progress something like that. Another thing I noted is that as you start your workout you cannot edit the number of reps per set. It simply stays at what you set when you built the plan. I know that for me I don’t always hit the target reps consistently so I feel that my data will be skewed if I cannot accurately put in the exact number of sets and reps while the workout is open and live. Again I love the simplicity of this app and I feel like it has so much room to grow!!

### 2/5 — The issue is real. App unusable. Cant have unuseable app in app store…

*2025-02-16, version 5.9*

I almost didn’t get the lifetime version for free because the screen wouldn’t scroll down on the push notification selection page. I’m using an iPad Pro 2022 12.9”, and I experienced the same issue at this step. I kept selecting and deselecting push notifications while switching between vertical and horizontal orientation until, eventually, it let me scroll down. Once I could scroll, it let me continue to the next page which not surprisingly was the option to claim the lifetime version for free! 🤔

BUT- after I claimed it, the app sent me back to the push notification setup, and now it’s completely stuck—so the app is unusable. Apps that do not function as they claim are not allowed in the apple app store. So it would be a good idea to take the issue seriously and fix it. Based on what I’ve seen, a lot of people are running into the same issue, regardless of their device type. That suggests this isn’t just a device-specific bug but a wider problem that needs to be fixed across all platforms. More then a few people are experiencing it and many- likely just uninstall and don’t reach out. So rather then asking each person to directly contact support about it.. might want to get on top of the issue making your app nonfunctional. . At this point, it almost feels intentional, like every few users are being hit with this issue on purpose.again the answer to the question you ask everyone with the issue- im on an IPad Pro 2022 12.9” latest software update. No other information i can give you then everything i just have. The same as everyone else with the issue. Same exact issue for everyone. Simple.

### 3/5 — Latest update killed photo food logging

*2024-12-30, version 4.7*

Update 12/30/24: I appreciate the response of the dev. I have updated my review from 1 star to 3. Unfortunately, photo logging still remains broken, even after I updated the app again today. I am still experiencing the app freezing after I take a photo of food. It also does not add the photo and meal.
Update: Okay, so I offloaded the app, restarted the phone, reinstalled the app, and now the app won’t function at all. Trying to open it just gets me a white page with the progress circle just going round and round. I am going to have to find a more reliable app for now. 
iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18.1.1. Updated Brink and the update broke the camera photo food logging. Tried several times to take photo of food, but app locked up each time and no photo entered the app. Prior to this update, photo logging the food was awesome.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-12-27, version 4.5*

Can’t even login with the Apple account

### 1/5 — (iPad os) Stuck on home page

*2024-12-13, version 4.4*

This bug seems to exist for long time. 
———————
Liar! After the getting life-free period, the bug has gone.

### 1/5 — Training

*2024-12-12, version 4.4*

.

### 1/5 — Seems like a scam

*2024-12-12, version 4.4*

The app is really slow and buggy. Tried to sign up for lifetime plan but it always fails. Stay away from this app.

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2024-12-12, version 4.4*

Downloaded and opened.  Flipped through screens as directed (swiping).  Midway...it freezes up. Can't click anywhere and cannot swipe forward or backward.

### 1/5 — FALSE ADVERTSING AND APP DOES NOT WORK

*2024-12-12, version 4.4*

I was supposed to get lifetime access to this for free and it is not accepting the promotion! False advertising!  BEWARE!!!!  Also, the app does not start!  It does not get past the initial splash screen!  PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-11-15, version 4.0*

I downloaded the app. When I opened it, it only goes mid way of the opening page. Doesn’t allow to scroll next or open the app fully. I’ve uninstalled it and reinstalled it still not working.

### 1/5 — Have to pay???

*2025-07-22, version 6.6*

App says it’s free on promo but as soon as you try to start using it it doesn’t let you move forward without paying. Very frustrating. App looks awesome but unfair to make people pay without even trying it yet. Misleading advertisement.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-07-09, version 6.3*

I had the same issue a few months ago and again today.  Cannot get past the onboarding.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2025-02-17, version 5.9*

Tried to use this app several times kept freezing and won’t go to next screen. If this is what AI is about you can keep it. I wanted to give 0 stars but it wouldn’t let me

### 1/5 — It does not work

*2025-02-17*

For days now I have been trying to submit the questionnaire, I get an error message every time.   I have tried different answers, still does not work.

### 1/5 — Too many bugs

*2025-02-16, version 5.9*

Such as can’t scrolling the screen,can’t exit from Paid plan interface

### 1/5 — Can’t get past “let’s get started”

*2025-02-15, version 5.9*

Ironic that the very first screen titled “Unlock Your Custom Plan” is locked and you cannot move past this screen. There is no way to scroll to the next screen, no “next” button, no way to advance. Horsesht.

### 1/5 — Can’t get out the orietation

*2024-12-29, version 4.5*

This is funny, i cannot get passed the introduction because the “next” button is way below and the screen cannot be scrolled.

### 1/5 — Technical problems?

*2024-12-28, version 4.5*

Downloaded the app. Swiped through the opening process., Got to the third page and then nothing. No Follow-through button, no swipe up, no swipe down. Just a locked page that did nothing. Not really a comment about how the app works.. Just a comment about how the app doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — This app does work

*2024-12-28, version 4.5*

I get stuck on the third page of the welcoming pages. I unable to scroll down to the next page.

### 1/5 — Latest update killed photo food logging

*2024-12-26*

Update: Okay, so I offloaded the app, restarted the phone, reinstalled the app, and now the app won’t function at all. Trying to open it just gets me a white page with the progress circle just going round and round. I am going to have to find a more reliable app for now. 
iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18.1.1. Updated Brink and the update broke the camera photo food logging. Tried several times to take photo of food, but app locked up each time and no photo entered the app. So……1 star for now.  TW, I also downloaded this app when the free lifetime offer was made. I went through the process to get it free, and then a few days later, I was no longer a premium member somehow. When I contacted the dev, they acted like I was lying. It is the same reaction I see to others complaining of the issue. The customer service seems to be lacking. I do like the app, but there are others with devs that provide “nicer” support. Maybe give the people who complain about the free process failing right around the time the app was offered for free, the benefit of the doubt?

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thanks for your feedback, and I’m sorry for the trouble. The photo food logging issue was due to a temporary API outage, which is now resolved. Please let us know if it is still not working for you. You can also try editing your plan in settings to reset the app. As for the lifetime deal, we’ve honoured it for you but we required information to apply it to your account, and was not questioning your honesty.

If you’re still having issues, please reach out at support@brinkapp.ca —we’d be happy to help!  

Best,  
Brink App
