Great app & excellent workouts!

I have been exercising with Cathe Friedrich for years now and I love, love, love her workouts! I have most of her DVDs, plus I subscribe to both Cathe OnDemand and Cathe Live. This app makes it super easy, quick, and convenient to access all her on-demand workouts right from my desktop—even when I’m traveling. I highly recommend this app and this monthly subscription to any Cathe fan.

Latest releaaes not on

Older Dvds have different music
And latest workouts are not uploaded and when people ask on the forums they were given some answer that came across as rude to me about how many many steps are needed to make it happen. Cathe herself is great

$14.99 for no video to work

Tried rejoining today. Charges $14.99 for not one video to work so basically wasted money. I am disappointed because I liked all of these work outs.

Good variety

I’ve been using dvds by this trainer for years and have many of them. It’s time to change it up more so I went with this app instead and it has all of the dvds I’ve owned for years and many more. I have a spin bike so I love the spin classes. Also has yoga and stretching, weight lifting, hit, boot camp, etc.

Great library, terrible app

The workouts are great, the app is not. In fact, the app specifically states that the length of the subscription includes a 7 days free trial and that "Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period." I signed up for the subscription on December 9th and was charged the full amount ($14.99) by Apple on December 11, despite being only two days into my free trial.

On top of all this, when I went to cancel this subscription from my iCloud account, it only gave me an option to "resubscribe." Not only did they charge me two days into my 7-day free trial, but they apparently cancelled my subscription on top of that. I would have honestly kept it if I didn't feel like I was scammed.

Worth every Penny, and then some

This is a fantastic fitness bargain. The subscription I have includes both on demand and the live platform. Cathe’s workouts are amazing and accommodate a variety of equipment needs, fitness levels and time constraints. For the on-demand platform specifically, the apps pre-mixes are an excellent way to combine elated workouts or shorten up a specific one. The only thing I would change is to make the app a little more user friendly by possibly being able to better organize favorite workouts by categories like timeframe, no equipment, 15lb weights or less, etc. I highly recommend using this platform to keep in shape a build up cardio and muscle strength.

Another update glitch

I LOVE Cathe and have been a faithful subscriber to Cathe onDemand. But the updates seem to do funny things. After this latest update, I can’t get a full screen for the program I select. It’s like the aspect ratio has shrunk so you see it covering about 3/4 of the description behind it.

Fantastic, but needs a “search by equipment” function

I love the access to the full library. The one feature I wish it had was to search by equipment used. Example- if you search for “high step” only workouts with “high step” in the title appear and there are workouts that use this equipment that are not listed. Being able to look for workouts that utilize the equipment you want to use (high step, bands, sliding discs, etc) would make this app even more valuable. Thank you!

Great!!

Love the app and the variety of workouts. Love that Cathe still does aerobics along with the new trends!! It really helps me in this season of my life due to taking care of my mom!! Time is of the essence for me!!

No way to recover password!!!

I paid $14.99 for a subscription to this app. When logging in a second time, I found my password was not automatic on my iPhone. There was no way to recover my password. I was simply locked out of the app, with no way to login again. Even though I was being charged for the app, I was not able to access what I was paying for. Customer service at Cathe was no help, said I needed to contact iTunes. iTunes had no way to help me gain access to the app. It was an endless loop of NO help at all. I’m going to sign up for some other exercise service, as much as I do love Cathe.

Don’t purchase through iTunes unless you have Apple TV

If you purchase it through iTunes you won’t be able to use a fire stick or roku tv. You should purchase the app directly from their site if you plan on using a roku tv or firestick to workout affront of your tv just saying.

So far, so good

I have had no issues with this app. I would LOVE to be able to go in slow motion to learn some of the step sequences? Any chance you can make that happen?

No longer recognizes My subscription

I can’t use iPhone or Apple TV apps tp use my paid membership

Great content but difficult to use

Logs you out constantly which is a real pain on an Apple TV. Premises aren’t as good as on dvd and are sometimes missing altogether. You can create your own via the workout blender but you can’t do it in the app and it’s very complex and time consuming to do. Rewinding and fast forwarding is nearly impossible. Fantastic content you really cannot beat Cathe’s offerings anywhere else in the fitness world.

Great but glitches

I love this App but every time I try to save my favorite workouts, it deletes them.

Amazing App!!!

Beautifully designed, easy to access, stunning presentation! I love previewing Cathe’s workouts & exploring all the premixes with this app. Now that the rotations have been added, I just can’t imagine how this could get any better. I just love having all of this in the palm of my hand!!! Thank you!!!

Love this app

I love this app and that I can access Cathe videos on demand from my phone, iPad and Apple TV with it! I love that I can save favorite videos AND premixes.
I have two suggestions: 1) it would be excellent to have a feature that lets you know if you have done the workout already (I like to try new ones and often cannot remember which videos I have already done) - even something as simple as a check next to it and 2) I would love the ability to rate videos and premixes just for me to see or a place to take “notes” on videos. I really would like a way to track why I liked a workout or why I would not want to do it again.

Love it but would like “offline option”

This is a great app, but I would like an option to download my favorite videos and premixes for offline viewing. Other than that this is a great app!

Frustrating

No matter what I do I cannot access the videos through this app. Every time I put in my user name and password it tells me it is wrong. I finally close out the app and just access the on demand from the direct website. Love Cathe's workouts but this app doesn't work for me.

Outstanding

This is great! Good for people who travel. Requires a subscription to Cathe On Demand but it is worth it. App functions well. A very wide variety of workouts available.
