It’s simply amazing, I have used other fitness apps out there like Centr as well as just simple workout logging apps, but this one surpasses them all. They listen to the growing community within the app and it just keeps getting better and better. The medals you receive encourages you to workout to achieve them, the community that’s within the app is very supportive and the interface is so easy to use! Buff gang, I have been waiting for years for this to come out and the wait was well worth it! Keep up the amazing work, as it caters for all levels of fitness! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-02-25* Been using the app since launch and it’s been fantastic. Love the game like leveling up and social aspect, cheering and encouraging other users. I do have a couple of issues. 1) the rest timer is a little too quiet, sometimes I miss it. The rest timer also stops and disappears if you switch apps or even doing something within the app itself. 2) when setting a timer from the top left corner, the timer automatically starts before I even do anything. 3) would gladly pay for a lifetime subscription. **Developer response:** Hello, We're very glad to hear that you're enjoying the app and really appreciate your feedback. I will forward it to our team of developers to incorporate these improvements! Thank you, Aga ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-12-18, version 2.3.4* I actually really like this app. Easy to use. You can design your own workouts. And when you perform the same workout, it even tells you what you did last work out weight and reps. That is great for improvement and of course gains! ### 5/5 — Won’t load *2025-12-15, version 2.3.4* Keeps saying something went wrong try again 401 in a red banner on the bottom But I do want to try the app once it’s fixed ### 5/5 — Jinnbyte *2025-11-05, version 2.2.2* One of the best fitness app I ever used ### 5/5 — Love this app! But, login issues still. *2025-10-30* Outstanding app for getting into weightlifting. Worth every penny IMO. The selection of plans is vast, the encouragements are great, the badges and medals you get are hilarious, and the process of the plans is spot on. Only issue is the app is getting stuck on the login screen and locks you out. Bug fixes have been saying they fixed it for a few weeks now, but the issues persist But I believe it’s just a blip and will be handled asap. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your review! Please message us at support@thebuff.app if you're still experiencing the login issue, we would love to help. - Aga ### 5/5 — Buff Dudes strike again *2025-10-17* I have been a loyal Buff Dudes follower for the better half of a decade. I understand this app is still fairly new and developing so I can absolutely overlook every little issue that comes from time to time. I can tell they’re putting their heart and souls into every update. With that said, this app has motivated me to more of a high degree than anything I’ve experimented with in the past. The amount of singular workouts, plans, and reward badges provided are well worth the monthly investment. I lost my son last month and this really helped me out of my rut. I love keeping my daily streak and showing it off. I love that all the plans are provided and I can come and go from the ones I choose or switch it up and build my own plan. When I get a workout over and done let me tell you, it’s SO rewarding to see those stats go up and share with the community. The Dudes are on to something BIG and I am happy to be in on it. Thanks Dudes 💪 **Developer response:** Zachary, we are so sorry for your loss. Your support and kind words are truly appreciated. We're glad we can be of help to keep you strong and motivated. Wishing you all the best! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-10-11, version 2.2.0* I been a buff dudes fan for a long time. I have done several of their past 12 Week programs and had great results. They have certainly outdone themselves on this app! The workouts are great, the app is intuitive and easy to use, and the community is great. I love the feed section which feels like its own sort of private social media experience. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Get Buff!!! *2025-10-10, version 2.2.0* I’ve been using your programs for a few years now! It’s great that most of them are on this app!! Helps keep all my logging and shows when I hit a new PRs! ### 5/5 — Yes!!! *2025-09-30, version 2.1.2* Been following you guys for a long time on YouTube! I bought your workout plan book. Loved it! But now you guys created an app. I even love it more! Love your guys content as well! 🙏❤️ ### 5/5 — Great Exercise App *2025-09-11, version 2.1.2* This is a great app. Really good exercises to follow and a fun ‘levelling up feature’ which helps you feel motivated in your progress. I’d like to see a few more varied programs, like for women or home. It’s also got a feature to mark sessions to failure or otherwise - but could do with a bit more promotion as that’s a fun feature. Sometimes it feels like it loses connection a fair bit, and sometimes takes ages to load the exercises. Would be amazing if all exercises had videos, but like 90% seem to have them to help. The exercises are extensive, but would be good to see even more or search for any words rather than the specific way it’s described. Like if you type in ‘bench’ it’ll find it if it starts with bench otherwise if bench is the second word, alas nay. but you can add your own and customise your own exercises, mark reps, see your progress, set super sets and tri sets - which is good but could be a bit tighter as it’s marked as super set but feels like separate still so maybe it’s just a tag. But great list and it’s awesome how you can select the body part to get a list of exercises - ideally you want even further to have a tag like if you want to know the one you’ve chosen is upper or lower chest for example. Overall I’d recommend it, 100% worth the subscription and looking forward to further development from the Dudes in making it even better. Very very happy with the app. ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2025-07-29* I’ve been following these two guys for years, and I can honestly say this app is everything I hoped for and more! Their passion, creativity, and attention to detail really shine through in every feature. It’s so user-friendly, beautifully designed, and full of the same energy that’s made me a fan for so long. I’m beyond happy this app finally came out, it’s been worth the wait! Can’t recommend it enough! 💪🏻😎 **Developer response:** Thank you Raul, we love to hear that and truly appreciate your support! Stay BUFF! - Hudson ### 5/5 — I never leave reviews *2025-07-28, version 2.0.1* These dudes knocked it out of the park with this app. Whether you pay for the subscription or not, this app is worth having, simply for the excellent workout demos for most exercises that you can think of. I only recently started following their content on YouTube, which is how I found the app, but the B.U.F.F. Dudes nailed it. Better Understanding of Food & Fitness? Yes, that’s a life changer. Use the app, get healthy, be better. ### 5/5 — Seriously Impressed *2025-07-20, version 2.0.1* I’ll be honest, when I first learned about this app I imagined that it was going to be a bit cheesy. I was very wrong! The exercise lists, tutorials, breakdowns, and workout plans are exceptionally well done and thought out! Super useful app with extensive content. I absolutely love it! Thanks Dudes! ### 5/5 — Stay Buff! *2025-07-02, version 1.9* I love this app. I’ve subscribed to these guys for years on YouTube and I finally got their long anticipated app. It makes going to the gym and working out so much fun. Far more fun and motivating than all of the other apps or programs I’ve used in the past. Since it’s so interactive and tracks everything for you, it makes completing a workout easy and not feel like a chore. I’ve been using it for a month and I’ve recommended it to several friends so also got a subscription. Yes, there’s a subscription, but it’s 100% worth it. The free app is good, and thanks Buff Dudes for making a free version, but once you unlock the full features it gets gooood. I’ll never use another app. Thanks Buff Dudes! ### 5/5 — Awesome easy to follow program *2025-06-24, version 1.9* I’ve been watching buff dude videos for 10+ years, and I was excited to see there workout program tracker was coming out. It’s perfect and will be subscribing. It’s clear, concise, and I’m seeing great results already. I highly recommend this app for the gym. ### 5/5 — The best fitness app out there. *2025-06-09, version 1.9* This is probably the first fitness app that I’ve used that has all of the basic things you’d expect from a fitness app…Doesn’t sound like much of a flex, but you’d be surprised how rare that it’s! It’s got everything you’d need to get into weight training + the fun and light heartedness that the buff dudes bring to the their YouTube channel. Great app. Stay buff 🏋🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ### 5/5 — Love *2025-06-01, version 1.9* Love the app, love the youtube channel! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Never loads *2026-01-22, version 2.4.7* I really wanted to like this app, however every time I go to use it, it either doesn’t load or takes a ridiculous amount of time to load. Also there is an error message that comes up when I go to select an exercise from the list of exercises. I live in Australia so not sure if it’s a regional thing or not. ### 1/5 — Fake *2025-07-14, version 2.0.1* Yes it’s free to download the app but you can’t do anything with it unless you pay. Waisted my time, immediately deleted. ### 1/5 — Can’t get past the login screen no matter what I do *2025-02-22* Like the title states, I downloaded the app and proceeded to go to the login screen. Tried to login with Apple ID, the google id, then signed up for account when those options failed. Came back to the login screen after signing up and once again could not get past the login screen. The login button seems to be completely unresponsive and it is extremely frustrating. Hope you guys fix this soon, could be a major reason why people will bother use this app. Marketing is on point, but the app needs to work for us to use it. Please fix! I use iOS btw. **Developer response:** Hello Ulric - yours seems to be a unique case. Please reach out to us at support@thebuff.app and we'll get this fixed for you as soon as possible! -Hudson ### 1/5 — Won’t load programs *2025-01-27, version 1.1* Uninstalled, reinstalled. Won’t load, won’t log me in. Cancelled the yearly subscription. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work yet *2025-01-24, version 1.1* I downloaded the app and I tried to create an account. For some reason it kept telling me there was an error. So I don’t know what’s going on. I’m sorry buff dudes. ### 1/5 — Fails to open. *2025-01-23, version 1.1* Great guys and business but my app only opens 1 in 10 tries. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-01-23, version 1.1* Wont let me create an account. It just keeps loading and going back to the create an account screen. I’ve tried different usernames and made sure the terms and policies were selected but nothing works. I’ve restarted my phone and redownloaded the app. Nothing. ### 2/5 — Can never save a workout or cancel it half the time *2025-05-08, version 1.8* I minimize the app and come back and when I want to finish my workout it won’t let me or it will be a gray screen and won’t allow me to cancel or finish my workout so it won’t let me save ### 2/5 — Sound control *2025-02-24, version 1.4* No controls over the sounds of the app ### 2/5 — I like it a lot but *2025-02-05, version 1.3* Only been using it 2 days, day one was great day 2 I’m getting errors I can t save my workout. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sold By Perry *2026-04-06, version 2.6.1* Love this app! Takes out all the guess work. Closest thing to having a personal trainer. ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-04-04, version 2.6.1* The app is great and a very fun way to record exercises. I wish there were more kettlebell style workouts for more cardio. Also, being able to adjust the workout time would be great. ### 5/5 — Fitness Tracking and more! *2026-04-03, version 2.6.1* This app is now the benchmark for recording your fitness, trying new programs, keeping track of your fitness journey and it has a great supportive community! I’ve tried a lot of apps but the BuFF Dudes app stands on top of the pile! ### 5/5 — It’s kept me consistent *2026-04-01* I have really loved using this app! I wake up at 5:30 every morning to work out with my best friend and we follow the workouts currently we are doing the 5 x 5 to focus on building strength and our core movements. It has kept us really consistent, which I have not been able to do for years. I also really love how it is not over complicated. I would love to see the app integrate Apple Watch data, it would also be cool to connect with Strava. It is really exciting to see all of the updates and changes The buff dudes have made over the last year. I just can’t speak more highly of this app. ### 5/5 — I wish i had this when i was 17 *2026-03-28, version 2.6.1* This has so much knowledge and plans, along with wonderful tutorials and directions I would recommend to people who have never worked out due to feeling intimidated. This will help keep you consistent, motivated and focused on whatever workout plans you choose. Absolutely wonderful!
