I Am Broke

I was pretty intrigued by the idea of a workout app that allows you to progress in it. The app has multiple different workouts plans, each with a specific goal in mind. Unfortunately, after making an account, inputting all of my information regarding my age, height, weight, and sex, and selecting my program, I was met with a subscription screen. I didn’t see anything about this before downloading the app, though admittedly I didn’t look very hard. I found no way to do a free version at all. If you’re willing to pay, I bet the app is fantastic.

Money

Can’t even use the app at all without spending money, it’s not like there are in app purchases that you can have better access to certain things, you just can’t use them.

Response from developer

Hello, CaliQuest offers a free two-week trial for annual plans, with reminders sent 3 days before so you are not accidentally charged. Please reach out to me at charlie@thenicslab.com if you have any issues with your free plan.

Misinformation

I was sold on the app due to a comment on the ad about no paywall. I make an account and boom paywall. A 2 week trial only available on a yearly subscription presumably with the hope you forget to cancel. Just make it a paid app instead of wasting my time.

Response from developer

Hello, CaliQuest is free to download with a 2-week free trial so people can try the full app before being charged. If we made it a paid app, we wouldn’t be able to offer that same trial experience upfront. We also send a reminder 3 days before the trial ends because we don’t want anyone to forget and be wrongfully charged.

Another Paywall Cali App

I was really looking forward to trying this out and messing around with the idea of a wizardly calisthenics app but I just spent 5 minutes looking for the „no thanks, I’ll try the free experience“ button just to realize it was either one payment or another. I understand that you have to monetize your work, and I respect that, but couldn’t we even use the interface as a questline thing maybe without the daily workouts and such? like the free experience would just be a skill tree you can fill out and get a rank on or something.

seems like a good app overall, but I just find it really discouraging to lock an entire app behind a mandatory paywall instead of just limiting the experience for free users. it seems a little counter-intuitive if you’re looking for growth because what if a free user recommends it to a user that would pay? food for thought

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. CaliQuest does offer a two-week free trial, so you should be able to try the app before being charged. If that wasn’t clear or you didn’t see the option, please contact me at charlie@thenicslab.com so I can help and understand what happened. I also appreciate the suggestion around a limited free skill-tree experience. That’s useful feedback as we keep improving the app.

Mostly AI Slop

An AI slop app that requires payment upfront. You can get a codex subscription and rebuild this for less than the subscription cost. Actually going to do this now. Full blocking of the application without a subscription is a horrible user experience. Gating features behind payments is more appropriate. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the feedback. But to clarify, CaliQuest does include a two-week free trial, so you should be able to try the full app before paying. If that wasn’t clear in the subscription screen, that’s useful feedback and something we’ll keep improving. I also want to respectfully clarify that CaliQuest isn’t a quick AI-generated app. It’s been in active development for nearly a year, with a lot of care put into the skill tree, workout progression, tracking systems, and the community around the app. The subscription helps support continued development, new content, and the community we’re building. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, even if the first impression wasn’t what we hoped for.

Not new but it is whooping me

I’m new to calisthenics but not new to lifting but it is much harder than I thought

Response from developer

Calisthenics has a way of humbling even strong lifters! Glad to have you here, and we’ll keep working to make the progressions feel challenging but achievable.

Great app and improving.

I would rate this app a 4/5 stars based on how the app is right now, because there is always improvement. But what got me to 5 stars was the community and the creator is always finding ways to improve and is willing to put your suggestions into the app if good enough. The community is immaculate, willing to help anyone at any age, any gender, any starting point. Join the discord if you get the app.

Appreciate the kind words! Nothing beats our community, and the feedback keeps CaliQuest getting better every day.

The only problem

Like in the title the only problem with the app is that you have to pay premium to get full access to the app but besides that it’s a pretty good place for unlocking skill and making working out fun

Response from developer

Hello! Glad you're enjoying the app. The skill tree, daily challenges, and starting workouts are all completely free — premium just unlocks full programs, additional quests, and other perks. Thanks for the 5 stars!

Really good app if you’re able to pay for it, it’ll definitely help you out

10 out of 10 the app gives you a really good workout routine and sets up a good plan. I got a 12 week plan just am unable to afford pro if they are able to do a monthly fee instead of a weekly fee, that would be really good because you’re only two options that either by the week or by the year but I’m going to stick with what I can they give you four days to test it out on day two I hope it doesn’t kick me out if I don’t buy it, but that’s neither here right now so don’t put that on the company just yet I’ll keep y’all updated

Response from developer

Hey there, super happy to hear you’re enjoying the app and workouts! We only offer monthly or annual plans (no weekly!) There is a 7-day free trial of premium, so that is where you might be confused. Hope that helps 😀
