### 5/5 — Truly Unique

*2026-05-02*

This app and the Coach Cat system is really unique. It is easy to get a custom plan started and the system works with you everyday to make any needed adjustments. Also, I LOVE the way CoachCat does long rides! It is a perfect balance of intervals, zone 2 endurance, and real-life riding. Very pleased!

### 4/5 — Good modern coaching app

*2025-11-14, version 5.4.5*

Innovative cycling coaching app that provides a large catalog of structured plans with interactive AI coaching guidance to customize or modify your day to day workouts based on health metrics from your fitness tracker and accumulated training load.  Responsive support and frequent new feature updates.

### 2/5 — Lacking too many features

*2025-09-23*

The good: The plans are good and the app gives you some flexibility. 

The bad: AI is useless and the app as a training platform is severely lacking features. 

AI Coach review:
- AI is very slow to respond
- Responses are 90% ai slop. For example, I will ask it for a replacement workout since I missed a day and it will give me an impossibly difficult workout.
- Frequently does not perform the actions you ask of it such as replacing a workout will just add a second workout and you need to ask again

Missing App Features:
If you’re expecting a Training Peaks replacement this app doesn’t cut it. 

- can’t upload workout GPX
- can’t mark workouts as completed
- poor UX for viewing training data
- Very expensive

### 5/5 — Digging it

*2025-09-11*

This is a cool app and concept. Workouts are good. Love having my training calendar at the ready. Love being able to interact with Coach Cat AI to adjust/manage training plan. Love having a better sense of how my sleep/recovery are playing into my training.  Looking forward to continuing with it. One niggle: I bike commute to work sometimes after doing a full workout on the trainer before. Coach Cat doesn’t seem to understand this and will send me a message as though I had not already done the assigned workout. Feel like it should know what is “extra”.

### 5/5 — The closest thing to a real coach

*2025-08-21*

While other adaptive training apps will adapt your training based on availability and how you may have performed on yesterday workout only CoachCat goes deeper looking at your true body condition. 

CoachCat loos at your HRV and sleep to gauge your real health to adjust your training. 

But it goes further. You can discuss with your CoachCat any related cycling questions. 

For example, I just had shoulder replacement surgery and when I was cleared by my doctor to do indoor training only CoachCat was able to create a truly custom recovery workout around my health condition. 

It’s truly the closest thing to have a personal coach. Give it a try and you will be hooked

### 2/5 — Use to Work Well

*2025-05-04*

The end of 2024 the app worked well. I enjoyed it and saw progression. However, like the previous review states, something happened to the app in the last few months where it no longer request access via Apple Health when installed. This results in no sleep or HRV data being passed to the CoachCat from Apple Health. You can enter your data each morning manually but this is inefficient and not what’s advertised. I’ll continue to use the plans, as they are functional until my sub runs out.

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your experience and for sticking with CoachCat 🙏 We’re glad to hear the training plans have been valuable for you.

You’re right: there was a temporary issue with Apple Health permissions not prompting correctly on install. Our team deployed a fix so HRV and sleep data flow automatically again. In the meantime, manual entry is a temporary workaround, but we agree it’s not the ideal experience.

If you’d like, you can also reach us at help@fascatcoaching.com in the future so we can work with you more directly, faster and personalized

### 5/5 — Be amazed!

*2025-03-22*

Every time I ride my bike I find myself writing yet another glowing review of CoachCat in my head. From the seemingly hundreds of training plans, to the empowerment of the OTS feature on the app that collects data from your wearables and rideables to keep your training personal to you, to the incredible features of CoachCat the AI coach that can tweak your plan to whatever’s happening in your life (CoachCat could probably tell me where I put my keys) and the ability to chat online with one of the very experienced Fascat coaches, CoachCat is amazing. I am so stoked that I took the chance. Thanks, CoachCat!

### 5/5 — Awesome so far!

*2025-02-04*

Just started working with this training app last week (January 2025).... training for Unbound Gravel this year, along with several other races. All centuries  /-. 

I am new to gravel, and to events, so ALL of this was new for me (including FTP, how to think about training, etc.). I have found CoachCat to be an excellent guide and coach as I get myself ready for my gravel journey this year!

Moreover, as an app, the company has been increadibly responsive and helpful as I get set up and rollign with my plans.

### 5/5 — Fun and Effective

*2025-01-29, version 4.1.3*

For me this is as close to a real coach as I might get and a whole lot cheaper. The workouts and plans are designed well and the app is easy to use. I can see this getting even better in the future with more feedback and app development. It’s a lot less robotic than other apps that I have used and to me feels more real world.

### 1/5 — Half baked, twice the price.

*2025-01-29*

This app promises big things with AI training and optimization scores, but it fails at the simple things. For me, I can’t get my rides or health data to sync. This makes the app essentially a list of workouts with no adaption or feedback. I contacted support about this, their response “that’s weird, I pass it on to the engineers.”  That is the last I heard from them. Save some money and go with more polished product like Trianerroad, Xert, Join, etc.
