Waste of time ### 1/5 — Misleading ads and thumnails *2024-07-23* There is no such thing called 28 day challenge. Sheer wastage of time and energy through all those boring exercises like plank running jumping jacks . Terrible waste of time ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2024-07-15* Work out require machinery, not ideal for home use. **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback! Our app includes a variety of workouts, including bodyweight exercises for home use. We’ll work on improving the content to better suit users without equipment. Thank you for your input! ### 1/5 — I don’t want this app, can’t cancel it, yet $50 per month? *2024-07-07* Tried this once, it’s (politely) garbage. Cancel this …. Stop charging me. **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear about your experience. To cancel your subscription, please follow the cancellation process through the app store where you subscribed. If you need further assistance, our support team is happy to help — please reach out via the support link on the app's page. We appreciate your feedback. ### 1/5 — Not very good app. *2024-06-12* For one the “contact us” option does not work. It was my first option. I tried it many times, different days and same result. Second, third and fourth: I would like a refund please. The images in the exercises are not complete hence you can’t see all the positions of the exercise and explanations are poor, no video of any workout. Also, I am at home and it gives me exercises that require equipment, even though I selected Home workout. The App closes when doing the workout so it does not take your work-out time properly which is very annoying having to unlock every time. I would try some other app until they fix these. **Developer response:** We are sorry to hear that the "Contact Us" feature is not working. We will look into this issue immediately. If the problem persists, please contact us using the link on the app page. We will review and adjust our exercise database to ensure it aligns with your selected preferences. We are continuously working to improve our content, and your feedback is valuable in this process. ### 1/5 — Apps too confusing *2024-05-28* I’ve been trying to cancel this subscription from day one but the contact us section keeps failing and the subscription doesn’t show up in my subscription se tion in settings! **Developer response:** We apologize for the inconvenience. Please ensure you have the latest version of the app installed. If the problem continues, contact our support team using the link on the app page for further assistance. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-07-24* App is very confusing. **Developer response:** We’re very sorry to hear that you had this experience. This is certainly not the experience we intended to provide. Please contact our support team and describe the issue in as much detail as possible so we can better understand what happened and assist you. We always value our users’ feedback and do our best to listen and improve our app. ### 1/5 — SCAM AI APP *2026-06-22* Useless app with incredibly useless workout routines. Does not allow you to set it up with personalised training but rather sets up useless routines for you. What I mean by useless is it just gives you a huge list of random exercises to follow for one set each. No rhyme or reason why **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry the workout plans didn't meet your expectations. We understand that everyone has different training preferences, and we're continuously working to improve our programs and offer a better experience. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts, as they help us make the app better. ### 1/5 — Total workout time *2025-11-16* I was disappointment in the total time for each workout. I set up beginner than intermediate than advance only to find out running in place for 15 minutes is included in each level. A shorter, more effective 28 day challenge would be more appealing to me **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Our team is always working to improve the program, and feedback like yours helps us understand what users truly want. We appreciate your suggestion for a shorter and more efficient challenge — this is exactly the kind of input we take into consideration for future updates. ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-10-14* When I tried to contact them it said someone could be impersonating the app to get my info. Also no 28 day challenge as advertised in App Store. Very poor. Don’t waste your time or money **Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you letting us know. Please make sure you’re contacting our official support channel listed in the app description to avoid any phishing attempts. As for the 28-day challenge, our team is reviewing this issue to ensure it’s properly available. Thank you for your patience while we work to resolve it. ### 1/5 — Misleading app, beware of what you’re buying *2025-02-27* Thought this was calisthenics exercises but all simple body weight exercises and not an app to build on your calisthenics technique and form **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback and understand your expectations. We're always working to improve the app, and we'll take your comments into account to better support calisthenics technique and progression. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! ### 1/5 — Worst experience need subscription for everything *2025-02-17* Bad experience ### 1/5 — So so so so so so so so BAD *2025-01-22* Ugh ### 1/5 — I regret my purchase *2024-09-18* No video tutorials, just a picture of the exercise and a written description. ### 1/5 — Not Calisthenics *2024-09-04* I signed up to do body weight workouts as I do not have access to gym equipment. The very first workout it made for me requires dumbbells and barbells. If you have equipment it could be a good way to track but definitely not a body weight workout. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We understand your concern and will work on improving the app’s content to better align with pure bodyweight workouts. Your input helps us enhance the experience, and we truly appreciate it! ### 1/5 — Worst Calisthenics app ever!!! *2024-08-21* Cant customize a work out for your self and is not a real calisthenics workout app, its supposed to be body weight only and its not have had better results with YouTube and Pintrest for better workouts **Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear the app didn’t meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and are working on improving customization options and ensuring more bodyweight-focused workouts. Your input helps us make the app better — thank you for sharing! ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 📦 *2026-07-30* best app everrrrr!!!! its everything i ever wanted. **Developer response:** Thank you so much — this made our day!
