But it’s not. I want a desktop/web version- I don’t like having to look at such a tiny screen. I also feel like the company is Moving away from their original goals/purpose into making money selling equipment. Ugh!!! ### 2/5 — New updates and changes *2026-08-18, version 10.5.3* Not liking that you cannot swap the “leftovers” in the new update and choose your options. Also where have all the recipes gone? It’s like the food side has been downgraded and all the focus is on the fitness side only. It seems like the app is more suited to the American market, where before it was to metric standards too and had local ingredients for my region. It has become just like all the other apps out there. What happened Centr? Where has all the efforts gone that Chris Hemsworth put into it? ### 4/5 — Meals *2026-08-15, version 10.5.2* Centr is a great app with plenty of different programs and workouts for different people with different objectives. I can’t give them 5 stars because in the last several months they haven’t added any new meals. In fact since they changed ownership I feel the focus has shifted from overall wellness to trying to sell their own gym equipment and focusing on workouts that used said gym equipment. Hopefully they change course. ### 4/5 — Great workouts! *2026-08-14, version 10.5.2* These are great full bday workouts in just 30 min. My only complaint is that the stretches should be held longer & the stretching period should be longer ### 2/5 — Custom Music Playback No Longer Possible. *2026-08-07, version 10.5.2* With the latest update I can no longer play a custom Spotify playlist while following the training programs on my phone. I need 2 separate devices to accomplish this now. ### 3/5 — Same old programs *2026-08-06, version 10.5.2* Overall experience is not but it’s repetitive workout it’s been a while no new programs has been added! Maybe looking to try another app to see what’s out there even if it’s been more than 5 years I’m with Centr!😟 ### 3/5 — Screen Casting Issues *2026-08-05, version 10.5.2* I would’ve given this rating five stars but the screen casting in the app has changed unlimited information is available. Bring back the old screen casting. ### 4/5 — Equipment setup *2026-07-27, version 10.5.1* We are enjoying the workout, however we wish there was more instruction on how to set the equipment up for each exercise. Thanks ### 3/5 — Great app - would love to see more new programs *2026-07-15, version 10.4.0* I really enjoy using the app. I’ve found Ignite to be the most suitable for me in terms of a strength and cardio workout with dumbells. But after repeating the program multiple times I would love to see more options to try. ### 5/5 — Anthony ferriso *2026-07-05, version 10.3.0* Great app excellent very good ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-03, version 10.3.0* I’ve been using this app for over 5 years and really enjoy it. I think the workouts are challenging and I like that they have the meal plans too. It would be great if they made pregnancy and post partum workouts ! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-06-29, version 10.3.0* Been using Centr for years now and love the variety of options, the trainers, the flexibility to exercise whenever and wherever I like. Great as a young Mum with a busy schedule. ### 5/5 — Late 50s and my body is the best shape of my life from this app *2026-06-28, version 10.2.0* I have tried dozens of apps through the years. This app motivates me to WANT to get up in the morning and workout in my own home. My results have been incredible for a female in her late fifties ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bugs need fixing *2026-08-30, version 10.6.0* Hello, I wanted to submit a bug report but it says my account doesn’t exist even though I’m logged in and pay my membership (maybe another bug there). For the Hyrox for Women’s 12 week program, many of the later weeks are missing the actual workouts when you open the workout it has the warm up, run, and cooldown but missing the upper body component. Also for the “odd station” workouts it’s not the odd stations, same for even. Please look into this and fix the issue as I use the 12 week program when training for Hyrox. I will change my review stars once this has been addressed. I love Centr! ### 1/5 — Ruined *2026-08-29, version 10.6.0* Flipping entirely to mobile has ruined centr. Looking for alternatives right now. ### 1/5 — Web version much better *2026-08-26, version 10.6.0* Centr have discontinued their simple web access, so I can only access their programs through my tiny phone screen. Terrible idea. ### 1/5 — Watch where your subscription is! *2026-08-02* I had a free trial and assumed the subscription was in the App Store. I checked and didn’t see it there. They put the subscription through the website so you don’t see it on your App Store list. So you forget to cancel and they charge you for a quarterly subscription charge! I hate companies like this. Shame! ### 1/5 — Super buggy app *2026-07-29, version 10.5.1* Supper buggy app, constant glitches, poor performance and overall frustrating experience. Definitely needs major improvements ### 1/5 — Bad App *2026-07-17, version 10.4.0* Terrible App. Programs offered with equipment not chosen. A of bugs. Avoid this. ### 1/5 — Buggy App *2026-07-16, version 10.4.0* Unfortunately, the app frequently won’t open and often crashes. I would look for a more reliable fitness application. ### 1/5 — Very bad design *2026-06-14, version 10.1.0* The workouts were slow, poorly paced, and the weird thing they do with music getting much quieter every time someone talked made it feel very awkward. Music doesn’t turn down when you are working out in a gym. It ruins the energy, takes you out of the zone. That the product and design team made this unrealistic, strange choice is reflective of their much worse decisions in the app experience. Searching for workouts, filtering, are all very difficult and non-intuitive. They are either really bad at it or trying to reinvent something that has been perfected by 95% of apps and doesn’t need to be reinvented. Finally, don’t try to cancel. You can’t cxl on the app. Unless you sign up with your Shop account (which isn’t an option on the app), you can’t cxl on the desktop either unless you follow a bizarrely convoluted path to find a backend trick to get into your app account. It is easy to write me off because here I am leaving a 1 star review, maybe I am just disgruntled, but it is likely Centr is violating US law. FCC stipulates very clearly that it should as easy to cxl as to sign up. It is hard to, even with the most gracious of interpretations, say that their cxl process is as remotely close to as easy as sign up. I felt tricked and deceived. ### 1/5 — Enttäuschend für den Preis *2026-05-11* Für den Preis, den man hier zahlt, hätte ich deutlich mehr erwartet. Die Workouts sind entweder zu generisch oder so schlecht erklärt, dass man ohne Vorkenntnisse kaum durchblickt. Die App stürzt regelmäßig ab, mitten im Training – wirklich motivierend. Der Ernährungsplan ist komplett unflexibel und ignoriert, dass nicht jeder wie ein Hollywood-Star kochen kann. Support antwortet entweder gar nicht oder erst nach Tagen. Chris Hemsworth mag fit sein, aber seine App macht einen das definitiv nic **Developer response:** Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with the app has not met your expectations. We would appreciate the opportunity to look further into the crashes, workout experience, and support concerns so we can better assist you.

But the last few months it’s been buggy as hell. Sometimes I can’t even log on when I am at the gym to do the workout. Please level up here or else you will lose me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best workout app I’ve ever used. *2026-09-01, version 10.7.0* All through HS and into College I played multiple sports and maintained a high level of fitness. During that time I used many apps and programs but Centr is by far the best I have ever used. Not only do they provide detailed workouts that fit just about any and all needs they also focus on diet and what you put in your body. Their recipes and protein shakes taste amazing and provide an excellent energy boost to get you through any day. Working out and living a healthy lifestyle has never been easier or more fun. I genuinely look forward to my workouts and the meditations to help me fall asleep quickly. I would and have recommended this app to everyone that has mentioned living a healthier lifestyle. One improvement I would recommend for the app is better connection with Garmin. The Apple Watch has a widget for centr which greatly improves tracking calories, if they could implement the same thing with Garmin, that would be perfect! ### 5/5 — Love this app!!!! *2026-09-01, version 10.7.0* This is an amazing app, keeps me moving and mixes it for me!!!! ### 5/5 — Still the best with one flaw *2026-08-24, version 10.5.3* I’ve been a member of this community since 2019. I use the app almost every single day and it’s awesome for workouts (it’s exactly my style of workout) and the meal feature I use daily, too. Don’t know how I’d function without it. However, there is one flaw that got added recently. With the newest update, they took away the web browsing functionality. You can now only use the app to view your workouts and meals. The app is not available on all devices. While 98% of the time that’s how I use it, I do occasionally use it on my computer if I am traveling or wanted to use a larger screen. That feature is no longer available. Still the best though. ### 5/5 — Best App to get you healthy *2026-08-14* I started with this App in the Covid time. It helped me for my body and my head! Now I continue using it. I live in Brazil and any place I go I can get my routine with me. This App helped me to get tone, and healthy! I love it! And not only for the exercises, but when I need a meditation session because I’m stressful, or a a different dinner. Congrats for this! **Developer response:** We're so glad to hear how much the app has helped you in various aspects of your life, from fitness to mental wellness. Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Your feedback motivates us to keep improving our services. ### 5/5 — Hyrox Prep & Follow On Weight Training *2026-08-07, version 10.5.2* I used the Hyrox Beginner series of workouts and it prepped me perfectly. I am 51 yrs old and was in not great shape and it brought me off the bench and through a Hyrox with no injuries and touch faster than average time. A win in my book. I shifted gears to wanting to build muscle and have been using their intermediate series and have seen solid results. Oddly, the body weight I dropped in the Hyrox prep has continued to stay off though there is no running and my heart rate rarely gets above low 140s. Anyhow, I love the app. It’s challenging me, I’m injury free, and I look/feel pretty darn good (I think, ha). Much appreciation to the Centr folks that put it together! ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-08-04, version 10.5.2* Had issues with subscription. The team was very helpful to resolve the issue. App is good!! ### 5/5 — Fitness for life *2026-07-26, version 10.5.1* I have used Centr for 7 years now! It helps me consistently build strength and maintain my weight. There are classes for any fitness level. I appreciate the balance of planner workouts that include HIIT, strength training, yoga, pilates, and functional training. I also love the excitement and variety of the programs. The recipes are easy and delicious, I especially love the smoothies. The meditations and sleep visualizations helped me finally stick to a mindfulness routine. Chris’ affirmations were especially helpful during lockdown. If you want social interaction, the facebook group is supportive and helpful. ### 5/5 — Change of life *2026-07-23, version 10.5.1* I’ve been using Centr since COVID and it has genuinely changed my life. What I love most is how versatile it is there’s a workout for every fitness level and every kind of day. Whether I’m feeling strong, sore, or just need something gentle, there’s always an option that suits me. Living with arthritis, finding an app that lets me move safely every day has been life-changing. From yoga and Pilates to strength training and recovery sessions, Centr has helped me stay active consistently, regardless of how I’m feeling. I can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s more than just a fitness app it’s become an important part of my daily routine and has had a huge positive impact on my health and wellbeing. ### 5/5 — Centr won my business *2026-07-21, version 10.5.0* I’ve tried a good number of apps but Centr works for me better than the rest. Some of the reasons are that it has follow along work outs and there is a variety of them depending on your goals. Also, diet recomendation are endless. The combination helped me loose 20 pounds and have been able to maintain healthy weight for 6 years now. I highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — It works *2026-07-08, version 10.4.0* Stick with it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
