I need an app that is simple and most importantly easy to use, (technology doesn’t come easy for me). This app provides countless of workout programs, an endless amount of meal plans and nutrition, and a whole community of people to uplift your spirits. A place of no judgment and where you can share your victories. There is an overwhelming amount of positivity throughout this community and that inspires me to push harder. Most importantly Noelle has created these programs to build strength and endurance, all you have to do is stick to a program and you will see results. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your victories with us and helping others to celebrate theirs :) ### 5/5 — Love the App *2022-11-11, version 3.2.10* I’ve had this app since spring ‘22 and there some freeze moments at the beginning and sometimes during the warm ups. Idk if it’s my area/ service. I do close out all my other apps before using Forward with Noelle. Other than that I love the program. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2022-11-10, version 3.2.10* Easy to use and love the community part of the app! Noelle’s videos are detailed and easy to follow along. ### 5/5 — Challenging workouts to push you *2022-11-10, version 3.2.10* This app and trainer have been my go to—not only for workouts but also for some mental and emotional push. The community is made up of amazing ladies that are so motivating and encouraging. Thank you Noelle for being so raw and genuine and coming up with the best workouts. ### 5/5 — Get UNSTUCK with this app! *2022-11-10* I got comfortable in my lifting routine and haven’t missed a day in the gym for years… I wasn’t feeling as successful and didn’t know why. I joined one of Noelle’s challenge, downloaded this app and have been feeling successful and purposeful. I see a major change in just four weeks! Didn’t honestly think I would keep the app past the challenge, but I’m hooked. You need this app and you don’t even know it. Can’t wait for you to love it as much as I do. **Developer response:** Hooked on feeling good! Congrats on your progress and we can't wait to hear about more wins :) ### 5/5 — Amazing App! *2022-11-10, version 3.2.10* The app is easy to navigate, her tutorials for every workout are awesome! There’s a community feature that helps keep you motivated, super supportive and friendly. Love love love! ### 5/5 — A MUST *2022-11-09, version 3.2.10* One of the best Apps I’ve used in a while when it comes to fitness apps. Simple to use and Noelle and her team are just absolutely amazing. ### 5/5 — Highly Recommend! *2022-11-09, version 3.2.10* This app and this community are absolutely amazing! The app itself has great features and options to support fitness and nutrition goals and I can’t say enough great things about Noelle the entire community! Be sure to check it out! ### 5/5 — Worth it. *2022-11-09* The community and whole set up of this app is exactly what I needed in my life. The Power30 challenge has been killer, but having the LIVE workout option with Noelle (for the challenge) has given me the extra push I needed. The community is such a fresh, positive, safe space to just learn and grow. If you’re looking for something new to try, this is worth it. **Developer response:** Woo! We love that you're a part of the app AND the community! Thanks for sharing your review. ### 5/5 — Theeee best fitness app content available!! *2022-08-13, version 3.1.7* Noelle is amazing and so real. Her content shows you the right form and actually so easy to follow. My life has changed so much since I’ve bought her app. ### 5/5 — AMAZING 🤍 *2022-08-13, version 3.1.7* Noelle is just amazing 🤩 Her app is easy to use and the community is just beautiful that she has created. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Augh! *2023-01-22, version 3.2.16* This app keeps crashing. I joined a 6 week program and I can’t log into the app because it’s a blank screen. ### 1/5 — Have to hold my phone to change each exercise *2022-09-23, version 3.2.2* Love Noelles live workouts on instagram so i thought the app would have the same LIVE vibe and energy. I hate that i can’t just play the video and workout. I have to constantly go to my phone switch each workout or have it near me. Its annoying. Cancelled on second day. ### 1/5 — Ads *2022-07-05* They released a new challenge in the middle of a an ongoing challenge, so many women had to decide to jump ship from one to move to the other. Then when the new app was released there were glitches up until half way through the new challenge. They did work hard to get it resolved but if they would've waited until the last challenge was over and took there time on quality assurance, maybe there wouldn’t have been so many issues. Also please give appropriate home modifications if you’re stating it’s for such. I would’ve been okay with just the above because I give credit where credit is due, her team did a great job with following up and working on fixing the bugs. But my BIG issue why are you giving ADs we are paying already?!? We are constantly bombarded with influence all day long, news social media, blogs, friends, family, etc. Why would you do this? It’s literally only about money. Idc if they can be skipped, I am a PAYING customer that’s the whole point, NO AD. Is Katy Hearn giving ADs about your app on her app? I am not the only one who feels this way. I really hope this is the last challenge with these ADs because I will have to move on because the reality is, that would mean Noelle is no different than the rest of these money hungry fitness influencers. I pay for workouts that’s it. Not ads. **Developer response:** Hey there! Please contact support@plankk.com and they can explain the in-app promotions and encouragement banners to you. We want to ensure that you are having an enjoyable user experience while getting your workouts with Noelle in :) ### 1/5 — Can’t access to my account *2022-06-21, version 3.1.5* I been using the app for past months but for some odd reason it stop working. I already got charge for the month subscription, I need some answers to whats going on. I have already deleted the app and downloaded again and again but it’s still not working ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2022-06-13, version 3.1.2* Save your money. Joined and PAID money to start a contest today 6/13 and app doesn’t work. Not a good look and to top it off no one is responding. Contacting apple for review. I don’t recommend this if they can’t fix the issue. ### 2/5 — Wish the app wasn’t so glitchy *2023-01-25, version 3.2.16* I love the concept and I love Noelle’s workouts. This review is solely based on the app. The app glitches out often throughout my workouts. The videos freeze and the arrow back button doesn’t work as it’s supposed to. It is quite frustrating to use. ### 2/5 — Don’t recommend it *2022-07-29, version 3.1.7* The app never works and it’s so complicated to use. Th workouts are great but I waste so much time trying to make the app work and I keep trying to download the new version and not even that works. I contacted the support and they don’t get back to you. ### 2/5 — Update? *2022-06-21* I love Noelle and her workouts. I have been following her for years and purchased many of her challenges. I was very excited when she launched her app and have been using it since she launched it, however since her last challenge released, the app freezes on a white screen. Yesterday and today, I can’t even get it to load. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, restarting my phone, and trying different WiFi networks with no luck. **Developer response:** Hi Katie! We are sorry to hear about your experience. Our team is working very hard to ensure all bugs are fixed and the app is running smoothly. Please stay in touch with support@plankk.com ### 2/5 — I miss the old set up… *2022-06-20, version 3.1.5* The app didn’t work for almost a week so I couldn’t start on time. The old layout and sets from the previous challenge was way better. Paying for the app and challenge is a lot especially when it isn’t working properly and customer service keeps providing the same generic solutions. ### 3/5 — App Update *2022-06-19* I have been using this app going on 3 months and since the new update they took out some key features. There is no longer a bell sound in between sets/workouts or a 5 second break. Without the bell it forces you to keep your eyes on the phone to ensure it hasn’t moved on to the next set. Without the 5 second break you don’t have an opportunity to get ready for the next workout, and the time for the next workout is already running before you’re ready. In the warm-up when doing side planks it only has you do one side now. It also doesn’t specify “per side” above the reps anymore when working one side of the body, this may confuse someone not familiar with the app. I hope you guys can bring back these features, the old version was much more user friendly. **Developer response:** Hey there! We can certainly look into this for you. Please contact support@plankk.com and this team would be happy to investigate :) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Liliya *2023-10-31, version 3.4.10* Love the step by step workouts. Love all the different options Noelle has to offer. Quick workouts are great to add on to your daily routine. And the community is great! ### 5/5 — Love!!! *2023-10-30, version 3.4.10* I’ve always been a fan of Noelle’s workouts, but I especially love the follow along videos for the current challenge. Such great workouts and so easy to stay accountable! ### 5/5 — If you are looking for a great app look no more! *2023-10-30* This is the best app by far. It’s easy to navigate through. You have plenty of programs to choose from. The community within this app keeps you motivated to keep pushing especially on the days you need that extra encouragement. Hands down the best app and it’s affordable. **Developer response:** Thanks for the love, Tay! We love having you as a user :) ### 5/5 — Love the app and community for support *2023-10-30* I've have been following Noelle for a bit now, and have attended her in person bootcamps which I love so I recently started using her app to engage in her workouts and for the community of girls within the app. While I've always found her Instagram workout routines awesome, I needed a full week guide to stay on routine and I found that with her app. I find it affordable, and incredibly user-friendly. It fosters a supportive community with relatable individuals to keep your motivation high. The app also offers a way to plan your meals and a full list of meal ideas that you can incorporate into your plan. **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your positive experience with us (& others)!!! ### 5/5 — You’ll love you again! *2023-03-20, version 3.3.3* Words can’t express the mental an physical change Noelle’s App “Forward” has brought me. I’m a mother of 5 (youngest has T21😎) with really no time for me . This app had changed me an my family for the better. Love love love everything about the app. Have to try ! ### 5/5 — Solid *2023-03-20* I love the Forward app. I have a few online trainers I love that I route through, but what I really like about this app is how organized it is, how during workouts Noelle will remind you about things to keep your form in tact - and I absolutely love the recipes. The only feedback I have is, I wish I had the ability to search in the community section. Some times I’d like to locate others who may be doing a plan I’m doing just so I can get more tips, see how they are progressing to help me -or other key words to help me along my journey and research. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to provide us with your feedback :) ### 5/5 — Love this App *2023-03-20* I found this app several months ago after falling its creator Noelle for a while. This app has helped me tremendously in my weight loss journey. It is is so simple to use and easy to follow. Noelle shows you step by step what exercises to do with an easy to follow visual demonstration of each workout no matter what program you choose. The programs are very well structured depending on what your goals are. And she offers two versions, gym and at home workouts. Either way, you will changes if you stay consistent with each workout. Hands down the best workout app I have came across so far. I’m grateful for the app and Noelle’s guidance. I’ve lost weight but I’ve also gained my confidence and self esteem back! **Developer response:** Congrats on all of your hard work and dedication! We love having you as part of the community :) ### 5/5 — Great App *2023-03-20* Not only are Noelle’s challenges amazing but the app is everything I have always wanted from a workout app! Each work out has a video and explains the set along with a modification. I can listen to my music along with it and still here when sets are ending and beginning! **Developer response:** Woo! We love that you're grooving while you're moving! Enjoy the sweat sessions :) ### 5/5 — Best app on the market hands down *2023-03-17* I love this app!! You can definitely tell Noelle put her all into creating this app! First, this is the only app I’ve have seen that has the warm ups included in each daily workout. I’ve tried many apps and others tend to expect you to do them on your own. Second, this is the only app I’ve seen that counts down rest periods between each set and this is great since I tend to rush into the next set too soon. Third, this app is perfect for busy moms. I love that noelle includes challenges with 20 minute workouts. It’s also very beginner friendly. Finally, I love how genuine and supportive Noelle is. She takes time to answer all questions and concerns in her forum. You can tell she’s very passionate about helping others meet their fitness goals. You won’t be disappointed if you download this affordable app! Thanks Noelle!!! 🫶🏻 **Developer response:** Thank YOU for taking the time to share you user experience! We are so happy you're enjoying the app and the community :) ### 5/5 — Best workout app out there *2023-01-21, version 3.2.16* Noelle is the bomb! Love love love all the programs she creates.
