### 3/5 — Wish it was better

*2026-05-21*

I love DA but the app is not user friendly. I also have to login in every time. (Annoying) and The challenges do not advance to the next day or track accurately. I hope this gets fixed soon! If not , maybe I’ll try Katie’s app!

### 2/5 — Love Denise but not the app

*2025-01-23*

Love Denise but app is terrible. I constantly run into problems signing in, not recognizing me as member, and currently it is saying videos aren’t available. Even on her latest challenge, it says the video does not exist.

### 3/5 — The app needs fixed

*2024-11-26*

I love Denise and Katie Austin but Denise Austin app is difficult. You have to re-login every time and it’s annoying. It doesn’t keep track of your progress the way it should..only challenges and then there’s issues with that as well. It’s too bad. I really love her but not the app.

### 3/5 — Not helpful at all

*2024-11-15*

I have been a life long fan but this app has soured me on DA.  I learned from her shows and have what she taught me instilled in my daily routines.  This app is of no use, not easy to navigate, not the reliable guide I PAID for!  Another lesson learned from Denise, look before you pay.

### 2/5 — Not pleased

*2024-04-23, version 1.1.8*

The app won’t open. I paid. Did one work out.

### 4/5 — Great APP

*2024-03-10*

I love this app!!! It has a lot of good workout videos. But, today I’m unable to pull up any workout videos on my iPad. I deleted the app and re-installed it. But, I’m still unable to pull up any workout videos.

### 3/5 — Glitches, but DA’s encouragement is 5⭐️

*2024-02-18*

- video stops when airplaying; had to restart from beginning; now I just use my iPad

- grocery list on challenges won’t load. Either fix or remove this option 

- cannot add/tweak workouts for physical limitations (i.e. knees). Seems like an obvious miss for a fitness app?

- please add a video glossary of exercises, especially names and proper form for yoga poses. Not all of us know them

### 1/5 — No such thing as a free trial!

*2026-06-04*

I stupidly signed up for the monthly plan, with understanding I would not be charged for 30 days. I signed up on June 3 and was charged on June 3. 

It looks like a great fitness program, but misleading me from the beginning is a major issue for me. 

Also, the misspelling of lose (loose) and you’re (your) aren’t giving me great confidence.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2025-06-23, version 1.5.0*

Can’t use the app on the tv, lots of glitches, doesn’t track progress, feels like a demo app. Katie Austin app is better, but I like Denise Austin workouts more.

### 1/5 — Great APP

*2024-04-25*

I love this app!!! It has a lot of good workout videos. But, today I’m unable to pull up any workout videos on my iPad. I deleted the app and re-installed it. But, I’m still unable to pull up any workout videos. The videos don’t work on the iPad app. When I click on a video it just spins. Please fix this issue.

### 1/5 — Awful App

*2024-04-23, version 1.1.8*

The app feels cheap and almost like a demo was put out. Her daughters app Katie Austin, is a lot better. A workout everyday, recipes, I can airplay no issues. Not sure why her and her daughter have such different apps.

### 1/5 — Disappointed, it’s like a demo was released

*2024-04-14*

I really wanted this to be my new workout app but its lack of updates feels like this will be forgotten. The developer hasn’t even respond to reviews so that says something as 2.21.24 It would be great if they would feature a new workout everyday so you aren’t stuck scrolling and filtering through hundreds of workouts. The app is stuck on “its leg day” no Denise not everyday for the past 2 months is leg day. AirPlay doesn’t work, no Apple TV app, this buffers and stops working. Grab a snack button is great some nice recipes.

Update 4.14.24 - app still show everyday is leg day. I think this is supposed to change daily and when clicked you get a series of workouts. Developer released a minor update nothing to fix any issues mentioned from users and still not commented on reviews. I won’t be renewing for May subscription

### 1/5 — Really liked this app

*2023-08-30*

But after multiple attempts to try to get it to airplay, it keeps freezing up, regardless of which device I use. It often freezes up in the middle of playing and then when you get it to start again, it goes back to the beginning so hopefully you’ve remembered where it froze. Otherwise you spend time trying to figure out where the video left off. Ended up having to cancel my subscription because I just couldn’t get it to work.

### 1/5 — Payment IS Required!

*2023-05-30*

Denise, I began working out with you in the ‘70’s.  As much as I would like to again, only deceiving us by having your payment options on your last sign-up page has made me wonder:  Do/have you actually cared for us, or - have been a con all along?

### 2/5 — App not working

*2026-03-01*

I am doing the 10 week better than ever challenge and I can't get in to view the video for today.  Was working yesterday afternoon but today no luck.  Very disappointed and frustrating.

### 2/5 — Be transparent on the price

*2025-05-05*

Have to fill out your email and phone number for your “free” account and then find out you have to pay for your “free” account. Don’t bait and switch. Better not sell my info.

### 5/5 — This app is great!!!

*2025-05-08*

This app rocks!! I cast from my phone to my TVs with no issues at all. I have the premium membership. The app is easy to use and navigating is simple and straightforward. For workouts, the search function is fantastic- you can pick the length, type (body area), ease, and sort (newest/oldest).  I Love that search! The workouts are great. The old TV ones are a blast! - Are they dated? The video quality might not be up to date 1080p (Full HD) and 4K (Ultra HD) but they are completely viewable and some of those workouts are quite the challenge and really fun to do!! The workouts range from current to older and all of them are very good. I like and do Les Mills (bodypump, bodycombat, bodybalabce (I don’t care for super jumpy or dance) and I run. So, if you are a fan of Bodyattack or like Insanity you might not be happy with Denise Austin. Everyone is different. But if you want a positive workout with a trainer who is great, will work ALL of your muscles and not get you hurt (for me that is huge) you this is a great app! I’m whole food plant based so the recipes for me are limited but there are lots of them for most diet choices and there are even some for me. I’m really blown away by how many options there are for workouts and that is super motivating when you can do 30 minutes full body workout and then add in a couple of extras like today where I added in a 10 minute arm workout and a 5 minute ab routine- you can fit it where and when you have the time and I personally like Denise Austin’s cues in the workouts and positive, encouraging attitude.

### 5/5 — Always admired Denise

*2024-08-08*

She is down to earth with lots of info and knowledge while working out with her. Used to do Lifetime TV 2 shows back to back in the early 2000s! Love this app. Can get a quick workout in anytime/amywhere!!! TY❣️

### 5/5 — Denise Austin

*2024-06-26*

I am not happy with this I can’t seem to navigate it well Please delete my account sincerely Lucinda (Cindy ‘) Hasterlik I will try it again another time Thank you

### 5/5 — 😍 THIS APP IS FIRE! 🔥

*2023-05-02*

I had trouble working out my entire life until I discovered Denise Austin! I’ve been using Denise’s app for a while now and and I can’t stop, won’t stop! She makes working out fun! Not to mention her amazing recipes! 

What makes her different from all the modern workout trainers is that she doesn’t stop motivating you the entire way from start to finish!

Thank you Denise! 🤩

### 5/5 — Great Fitness App!

*2023-04-28*

I was looking for a workout regimen to get myself back in shape. This app has a ton (100’s!) of different workouts for every part of your body. Along with the workouts, you also get access to a ton of healthy recipes that you can favorite and swap around. They’re delicious and really help you on your fitness journey. I also saw there were Challenges you could take part in which seems interesting. I was super excited when I saw Denise released a new app and happy to start getting back in shape at home!

### 5/5 — Quick & Easy Workouts for Home

*2023-04-28*

This is the perfect workout plan for older women and/or someone on the go. You can do majority of these workouts anywhere with no equipment necessary. Denise’s meals are better than what I can find on Pinterest - plus I know they are healthy!

### 5/5 — Best app for fitness and nutrition

*2023-04-28*

This app is fantastic! I no longer have to use several different apps to achieve my fitness goals. The challenges are great and they include workouts and recipes with corresponding grocery lists for the week that you can just check off right from the app as you shop. It’s so easy to use and helps me keep up with everything in one place.

### 4/5 — Please add easy login

*2024-08-30, version 1.1.10*

Denise Austin is awesome and there is no complaint there. In 6 weeks time I have really seen results. I will keep subscribing because I love how motivating she is. I have the worst memory and the app randomly logs me out, please add cloud login capability or some type of easy login, if you can add this I would give this app 5 stars. I know that’s not an easy get. I am someone who has worked with developers and know a little about code.  I know when you change one thing it can mess up 50 others, I’m just asking if it can be added please do. Need any beta testing, I do this for my job so I am game!

### 4/5 — So far so good

*2024-07-07*

Pretty good.  However, why do I have to sign in every time I use the app?  Kind of annoying and makes me less apt to use it.  Plus, I would like an audio walking workout to take with me on walks.  I have used Denise’s cassette tapes in the past and they are very motivating!

### 4/5 — Love the app, but not currently working

*2024-04-17*

I love being able to workout with Denise via this app. However, it hasn’t worked for me for 2 days. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled, but there’s no content in there any more. My only suggestion other than that would be the ability to look up a weeklong series— like 1 week of being in Hawaii or 1 week of being in Antigua.
