### 3/5 — Way too may pop up windows

*2024-07-09*

This app could be good, but there are too many windows to navigate just to log a workout. It’s a bit overwhelming and frustrating. Why so many windows just to log that I walked for an hour. Maybe I’ll try it again someday, but today seemed like it took too long just to do something as simple as logging a walk.

### 4/5 — Good app, room for improvement.

*2024-01-07*

After using this app for 11 years, it hasn’t changed much. Reward/point based system. Great. Video based examples for (most) exercises. Great. Nice library of exercises. Awesome. Way to submit a request to add a new exercise. Awesome. That request going into a black hole and never seeing it. Not great. No visual representation of progress (interactive graph). Not great.

This app is my main and has been for more than a decade. I wish they’d improve it more though and bring it up to the 2020s level of polish other apps are debuting with.

### 4/5 — App is great but one quality of life feature needed

*2023-11-26, version 3.5.7*

Just need to be able to move a finished workout with the edit button to another day. Nothing worse then starting a workout on another day  finish inside then you have to create a custom workout of the workout you just did, add it to the correct day then delete the old workout. Should be able to just change the date on when the workout was done. 

Besides that. Pretty decent app for recording gym workouts

### 2/5 — Buggy in iOS with no fixes

*2023-07-26*

The app has been so buggy on iOS for the past few years with no updates or fixes. The + button to add sets hangs off the bottom of the screen and only works if you hit it just so. Finishing a workout takes forever to sync and half the time it times out and fails with an error. I only use this app to log workouts — its original expressed purpose — and it is noticeably difficult to do just that. And no updates in years to address. Sad.

### 1/5 — What the h*** happened to this amazing app?

*2022-11-28, version 3.5.7*

Fitocracy was awesome! I hat happened tho? No updates, no support and looks like no ability to log in. One of the best fitness tracking apps on the planet, if someone would just pick it up and revive it!

### 4/5 — Good app but dead

*2022-11-27, version 3.5.7*

Really needs some updates

### 1/5 — Submission problems!

*2022-08-08, version 3.5.7*

There are a number of bugs in this App that need addressing! Every time I come to submit my workout it takes at least 2 attempts. I keep getting a submission failure! Also when you type in the search the characters are invisible! You can’t see what you are typing or have typed! Annoying! This was a pretty good app but unfortunately it’s quality is slipping! Not impressed!!

### 4/5 — Fairly good for what you need

*2022-05-22, version 3.5.7*

Have been using for a long time. Let’s you track every workout you can think of. A bit finniky here and there in the interface. Would be 5 stars if the developers spent more time polishing it.

### 1/5 — Abandonware?

*2022-03-03, version 3.5.7*

Seems like this is not being updated anymore... Even the basic exercises do not show the images. Waste of time and space.

### 4/5 — Abandonded

*2021-06-14, version 3.5.7*

I liked this app because it would allow you to group more than two exercises into a group.  Sadly it appears to be abandonded.  No updates in years.  Too many fitness apps out there I suppose.

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2021-04-26, version 3.5.7*

The fact that this hasn’t been updated in 2 years is showing big time. I’ve been dealing with the little issues for a long time but now recently I can’t even get logged in. Facebook sign in stopped working, it doesn’t recognize my email or username and tells me my email isn’t found when I try to reset my password but tells me the email is taken if try to create a new account.

### 1/5 — Can’t login, can’t create a new account, can’t connect to Facebook

*2021-03-27, version 3.5.7*

I used this app several years ago and loved it! I stopped using it because I had to switch to an android phone and couldn’t find the app in the Google Play Store. Now that I’m back on iPhone, I wanted to use this app again so I downloaded the app. I tried to login, but the app wouldn’t connect to Facebook. I tried to login with a username but could not remember my username and password from so long ago. There was no option for forgot username and password to request this information or to have it reset. I figured I would make a new account, but because I already have an account associated with my email, the app won’t allow me to make a new account. This should be a simple fix for developers. I would love to be able to change this rating once the problem is fixed because I really did enjoy using this app way back when.

### 2/5 — Sad to see what it has become

*2021-02-21, version 3.5.7*

Used to love fitocracy a few years ago before I stopped tracking workouts. Downloaded it again today but had to delete within an hour.
 
- the app is too too slow - I’m reminded of the early 128kbps days of the internet

- Wish I could disable FRED. Takes ages to submit workout and calculate point

- clunky interface - had to keep tapping on the screen; added a few past day workouts and suddenly couldn’t find my way out

- can’t see the tracking details anymore (or perhaps it is just the clunky interface)

Sad that I had to delete it because it is the only app where I can log pull-up weights (adds as well as assisted weights as negative)

### 1/5 — No longer updated or supported

*2021-02-20, version 3.5.7*

Good app with exercise database, and it is fun how it allocates points for exercises, but several years ago they stopped updating it so there are just too many bugs. You can find the same kind of app for less memory usage elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Used to be cool

*2021-02-09, version 3.5.7*

Now it’s a piece of crap. App doesn’t even start up

### 1/5 — Have been locked out for weeks

*2021-01-19, version 3.5.7*

I liked the app but I have been locked out for weeks, and developers do not respond to contact. Either the app is no longer supported or their support is minimal. Hopefully they see this 🤷‍♂️

### 1/5 — Couldn’t use app

*2021-01-08, version 3.5.7*

I was so excited to use this app, I’ve struggled to find a good fitness app on IOS. 

After the mini tutorial at the beginning of getting the app to show you how to use it “Fred” calculates the “results” - and it freezes there. It never loads fully.  Ever. 

Even when I exit the app and relaunch it didn’t “save” anything so I’m stuck in the introduction tutorial. Completely unusable. Really disappointed.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-10-11, version 3.5.7*

Tried to download this to both my iPhone and iPad. It freezes on the “Ready? Time for a Tutorial” screen

### 1/5 — Used to be great, now abandoned

*2024-10-11, version 3.5.7*

I loved this app years ago. I used to call it the last positive social media site on the internet. They have clearly abandoned the app and never removed the listing. The website is down, there is no support, the app doesn’t get past initial few screens, and the last update was 6 years ago.

### 1/5 — doesn't work on modern iphones

*2024-07-24, version 3.5.7*

app doesn't get past loading screen after intro tutorials. also doesn't accommodate the notch on latest iphones.

### 1/5 — Hacked?

*2024-07-08, version 3.5.7*

I should have read the reviews before I download and started fiddling with the app, which seemed pretty cool when I first started using it. I sent a link to my mom and bf to “Friend” me in the app and they both got a link that their phones are going to be hacked 🙄

Apple should be removing broken, useless, and potentially dangerous apps from the App Store.

### 1/5 — Finally, fully dead

*2024-03-11*

Welp, after five years of being a zombie app with no further development, it is fully and totally dead. App content refuses to load and attempts to log in to Fitocracy’s website view dead ends to a 500: INTERNAL SERVER ERROR screen. 

 I wish there was some notice of the impending doom, so I could have exported my custom workouts and logged progress to something else, instead of cobbling things back together from memory. 

Fitocracy should now be housekept and deleted from the app store.

### 1/5 — Buggy and Abandoned

*2024-03-01, version 3.5.7*

This app has clearly been abandoned. No longer even functional.

### 1/5 — Not maintained and slowly deteriorating

*2024-02-10, version 3.5.7*

Workouts now take multiple attempts before they log. Buttons on the bottom of the screen overlap the edge of the screen on iOS, such as the + button to add a set. Makes using the app cumbersome and frustrating. The internal feedback link goes to a broken page. Sad to see what’s become of this app.

### 1/5 — Scammers

*2023-07-02, version 3.5.7*

Paid for a coach, didn’t receive plan, still got charged twice, tried to cancel because this is obviously a scam, website so broken couldn’t, no working contact options, y’all are thieves

### 1/5 — Used for years, finally uninstalled

*2023-04-02, version 3.5.7*

An issue developed where it would take forever to submit a workout so I’d quit the app and leave the gym and forget about it. Then next time I’m at the gym, I check and the workout was marked as completed but also there was a duplicate on the same day marked still in progress. I submitted a bug report and nothing changed. Moved to an app called Strong

### 1/5 — Abandon

*2022-12-04, version 3.5.7*

There has been absolutely no development in four years, but they happily take my money each year for being a Fitocracy hero. I get the same notification badge on the same event no matter how many times I mark it as read. Was really promising until it was parked.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-01-09, version 3.5.7*

Excellent app, only one like it, motivating and easy to program workout

### 5/5 — Awesome fitness app

*2021-07-01, version 3.5.7*

I have used this app and website for years, it’s definitely my favorite fitness tracking tool and motivates me to workout! I love the point system and the community is always super positive and supportive ✨

### 5/5 — It’s freee

*2021-03-06, version 3.5.7*

So before this app I used fitbod and although I loved it I didn’t think it was worth the 10.99 
... so after months of gaining weight cause I didn’t have routine ... I finally found my app... I love love how you can make your own work out ! I love the checking off and the points ! And I love that I can do a full exercise and feel it the next day ! Yea some glitches but I’m getting it for free so no biggie lol

### 5/5 — Stuck on robot calculating points

*2020-08-11*

I’m stuck on the robot like everyone else and can’t start the app but rating 5 stars because it looks great and I’ve heard great things once it works. 

I hope the other users saying the devs abandoned it are exaggerating. It seems like it happened all at once so I’m assuming it’s probably just a bug in an update that can be fixed.

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2020-02-15, version 3.5.7*

Been a long time user.  App is great and community is cool too.

### 5/5 — Please keep this updated.

*2019-08-21, version 3.5.7*

Even if you want to change the app to a one time purchase I would do it. I tried looking for another gym app and they all want a subscription and they don’t work as well as this one. Thank you for an awesome app!!

### 5/5 — Love

*2019-08-19, version 3.5.7*

I love this app! I love tracking my workouts and the accountability it provides for me. I’m super competitive so the point system helps me with that part of my brain. I love that I can quickly save and redo workouts it’s so much fun!

### 5/5 — Simple and so much more

*2019-04-01, version 3.5.7*

Without a doubt in my mind it is the best gym workout tracker. And it also offers so much more than that.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2019-01-04, version 3.5.7*

A great app that allows you to record and track progress. Also abundant exercises to choose from to keep the muscles guessing, progressing and getting results.

### 5/5 — Great way to keep track

*2018-11-05, version 3.5.7*

I need something to keep me on track and being able to track my workout helps me see my progress, but accountable.
