### 3/5 — Sign in process

*2025-12-25, version 1.6.3*

Sign in process isn’t easy at all on mobile.

### 3/5 — Email Spam issue

*2025-12-07, version 1.6.2*

Decently made app, however the amount of spam sent by the management team is unbearable

### 3/5 — Started in January 2025, but recently got the “black window”

*2025-05-10*

with no matrix to check off…  I restarted phone & app, reinstalled app and nothing worked. Sent feedback about it not working for me with pictures. I’m waiting on a fix I guess?

### 3/5 — Cool app

*2025-01-30, version 1.5.2*

The app is cool, but it keeps crashing. I like this approach more than the EQH one for day to day quality control of living life .  it’s been very helpful in keeping me honest in what I need to do .

### 4/5 — Glitches

*2025-01-14*

I started this with my husband this year and the app is great. There’s so many glitches. I can’t post a photo erases after I put something in I mark something and it on marks it. I definitely love the app. I love how it keeps me focused and I myself personally like checklist. It helps me throughout the day. The only problem is the glitches.

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2025-01-10, version 1.5.0*

I have been using this since it first came out. I have trouble logging in a lot of times and get a message about a handshake error randomly and can’t log in. I’ve deleted and reinstalled and it persists.

### 2/5 — Don’t need to be berated

*2025-01-09, version 1.5.0*

Deleted the app when I was repeatedly told I needed to “up my game” when others arose earlier in the morning than I. Very annoying.

### 3/5 — It’s Okay

*2025-01-06*

Just feels like it’s missing something,maybe they should incorporate a system to where if u reach a certain milestone of working out and showing proof of weight loss,they give u a good big discount from their products or something like that ,motivate people to use the app a bit more,idk,just an idea.

### 3/5 — A bit buggy

*2025-01-06*

Decent app, but please make it so the workout videos can be expanded to full screen otherwise you can barely view them and if you turn your device sideways, it shrinks it and gets locked in that position. Also, no way to edit things you check off like getting up. I have no desire to immediately open my phone when I wake up just to check it off.

### 4/5 — Nice concept, some bugs

*2025-01-05, version 1.5.0*

“I'm open to receiving random messages from Jocko” toggle reverts when toggled.

### 2/5 — Needs some tweeks

*2025-01-04*

I agree with other users, the app is for my own personal accountability and data, but I, too, am unable to enter my profile to listen to “The Word,” which I was REALLY looking forward to this Def Reset. Hopefully the bugs will be fixed soon and old users can enjoy the new perks.

### 2/5 — Needs Some Work

*2025-01-03, version 1.4.8*

Would like to be able to change the types of workouts presented. When I first set everything up I selected “minimal equipment”, but now I’d like to change that and I can’t seem to find any option to do so.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-02-19, version 1.6.4*

Was excited to use the app and start training.  Once you boot up it does not go past the user agreement as it just processes forever.  Tried WiFi, cellular data, reinstalling, and making a new account. App simply is broken please fix it.

### 1/5 — Poor function

*2026-01-06, version 1.6.3*

No access. Continue to be knocked out. Using website for workouts is doable. Just not convenient.

### 1/5 — Worked, then didn't

*2026-01-05*

I was never able to set up a password. I used "magic link" which worked for 4 days, then didn't. The app is mostly designed to sell supplements, but I did enjoy checking off daily items as I accomplished them. Since the app isn't worth checking on until fixed, I'll uninstall it and track progress on paper.

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2025-12-24, version 1.6.3*

Won’t let me login to my account and am forced to use pdf.

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2025-12-10, version 1.6.2*

Unable to log in or use magic link function flashes to a brief internet interface then goes away Tech support has confirmed this function works them I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program and logged in to jockofuel and still no response

### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Worl

*2025-12-04, version 1.6.2*

App doesn’t work, won’t let me log in regardless of how many codes or jocko fuel logins i complete.

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2025-01-06, version 1.5.0*

I can’t login or reset my password. Claimed I’ve attempted to reset too many times, on my first attempt… stoked to get this going just need to login.

### 1/5 — Can’t use

*2025-01-05, version 1.5.0*

Won’t let me set my password after signing up for the program.

### 1/5 — bug ridden - cool idea, poor execution

*2025-01-03, version 1.4.8*

won’t let you update anything on your profile, just gives you a perpetually grey load screen 

app won’t let me sign in, says my password is wrong. clicked link to reset password, gives me an error message saying to try again later. tried again 8 hours later, tells me i’ve exceeded the login attempts limit and to try again later

### 1/5 — Can’t get in

*2025-01-02, version 1.4.8*

Signed up for the program, downloaded the app…can’t get past setting a password because it tells me on the first attempt that I have used my limit of attempts…”try later.” Nope.

### 5/5 — Get some

*2025-02-03, version 1.5.2*

Great app in progress! Used this app for 2 resets and bam. Bum, thighs, stomach…disappeared…like straight up vanished! Also I used to fear burpees. Now I destroy them.

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-01-25, version 1.5.2*

Good

### 5/5 — Works as it should

*2025-01-13, version 1.5.0*

Simple app built for accountability.

### 5/5 — Great concept however;

*2025-01-12*

Thank you for making something worthy of my time. If possible, can you make a year round calendar with tracked progress? This would be great for yearly check ins.

### 5/5 — Useful for remembering to be healthy

*2025-01-11, version 1.5.0*

I spend all day studying and this helps me remember to work out 👍

### 5/5 — Legendary

*2024-12-21, version 1.4.8*

Echelon front, the podcast, ORIGIN, and Jocko fuel are humbly and effectively making the world a better place. This app is awesome for public accountability, and building community.

### 5/5 — The perfect app for personal improvement.

*2024-08-06*

I love the user interface with the app. After going through multiple others this one is simple and the easiest to navigate. The fact i can see others posting their times they achieve a daily activity and each activity being so general is motivating. Keeping everything general rather than being overwhelmed with greater achievements than my own is great in my opinion. Also love so far how the workouts are laid out and kept at pace for the individual. It is clear with how they are explained that you are their for your benefit of future progress and not to burn yourself out.

### 4/5 — Good App

*2025-09-19*

I love this app and it has helped me do better. However when you search the recipes there are no amounts for the ingredients. Everything else is there though.

### 4/5 — Well, the Gray Window Changed Color!

*2025-02-09*

As of 2/9/25, the gray window problem has become the black window problem! 😃 I see they tried to fix this in a recent update, but for some users, it hasn’t changed anything. I also can’t access some other features such as some workout vids. 

I’ve been on board with the app since summer reset, so I’m holding out for them to work it out. I can still access the training and workout vids and keep up with daily habits. The app as a whole has helped me immensely! 

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 18.3

### 4/5 — Issue with iOS 18?

*2025-01-21*

Love the accountability of the app and that you can follow your friends and connections. Searching is a challenge. Also looks like there may be an issue with it running on iOS18. Tapping the icon in top left corner just displays a white screen. On my son’s iOS 17 phone he can see his image and settings.

Update 20 Jan 2025. Have had two app updates. Icon on top left corner now displays a dark grey (not white) screen. At least they are trying to fix it now.
