Rough Start, but Great Recovery

When the app first came out, it was very clunky and had a lot of bug fixes. However, that was then, and the app is much improved and is easy to use. I think the most important thing is that the app creators really listened to user feedback to continuously improve the experience. Programming is great, and app is evolving to match. Ignore the early 1-star reviews.

Awesome

Really grateful for the team at FBB and the app and content/programming.

I know the first launch of the app was bumpy but getting everything into one place was so worth a few bumps. Having to manage one app and all info in one place is amazing and I’m grateful for it!!

Great job making it happen!!

Worst UX I’ve ever experienced

Programming is great. I love having a program created for me that more or less is attenuated to my goals. It also switches up the workouts on 6 week cycles so even if you’re on the same program, you’ll be mixing it up enough to avoid plateau. That is the only reason it gets 2 stars. The app itself is horrible and infuriating. Every time it updates it somehow gets worse. It straight up will not load sometimes, workouts are logged arbitrarily and sometimes you’ll have no record of an exercise you’ve done dozens of times, it’s ridiculously clunky. This app drives me insane and I hate it and I may finally be motivated enough to find another app with comparable programming but a halfway useable app

Disappointed

I have tried to wait out a lot of the bugs in this app, truly, but it remains an extremely annoying app. It constantly reloads and resets, it often unremembers a set, weight or reps for an exercise, and like this morning and many other times it just won’t even load. Not a single other app that I use has been anywhere close to as bad as this one, and I use a DIY App all day every day. Please fix this ASAP.

Great programming, bad app

Programming is great, but app sucks, supper buggy. Customer support is nice but can’t fix any of the issues, contacting them is basically useless. This wouldn’t be as upsetting if I could just transition to the online platform, but because I can’t actually access all of my workouts online/without the app it’s kind of a scam. If your app has bugs and is still being developed people should be able to use an online platform to access everything, and if you don’t offer that then you’re overcharging people for what should just be sold as a workout plan in PDF format. If not available online I would prefer my workouts available as a downloadable PDF so I can use a different app to track my progress, because this app constantly deletes my data.

Great programs, terrible app.

Great programs, but, the app itself is aggravating to no end.
When it times out than takes 5 min to reboot is beyond annoying.

Holy bad app

I think you could ask Gen 1 ChatGPT to write a better app than this. This seems like psychological test for rage baiting.

Scam

App doesn’t work. They don’t refund money for trials. The workouts are as basic as it comes. Don’t buy. Marcus will take you.

Solid App and Training Plans

The app has improved significantly and offers a variety of training plans for the difference audience. Marcus and his team have done an excellent job in creating a product that serves not only CrossFit professionals, but also amateur fitness individuals. I highly recommend this program.

Tracking

Annoying that you can’t easily access your last week’s "notes" for the exercise. You gotta go back to the calendar and open up that day’s workout and go into the exercise to see any notes you left.

Exceptional programming

I’m a personal trainer myself and the programming on here is solid. Marcus has a way of keeping it fun yet still keeping it within those lines of making actual progress when it comes to strength and hypertrophy. The low ratings might be due to bugs they’ve had in the past but i think this app deserves a 5/5.

Buyer beware: The app ruins the workouts

Terrible app experience. Things constantly breaking, getting fixed then breaking again. Data retention is questionable making most progress logging kinda useless. Big step down from their previous platform.

Great content, poor app function

Been using this since before the migration from Atom. Great training content, great concept for the app - but really poor execution. Many bugs, updates overwrite saved content. I appreciate they continue to work on improving - but prior platform functioned without similar issues.

Programming is great

I love the programming, but the app leaves a lot to be desired. For single movements, once you go into the page where you enter you reps/weights, there is no going back for the notes that show tempo and other important info. It’s hard to remember what notes there are for drop sets, etc. The notes are there for super sets. But single movements they go away and you can never navigate back to them. It is super frustrating.

It’s the best!

Best training system out there!

Innovation but annoying

Prefered the old app, less bugs and glitch. Info was more accessible.

Improving every month

App does have not great ratings, it has come a long way in less than 6 months and now great for everything. Hopefully continues to improve and add features to become one app for everything fitness related.

Great app

Had some bugs at first like any new app but compared to other online fitness programs, this one is by far the best. Honestly shocked with how cheap it is

App Review

Amazing program, absolutely terrible app. It could be really great, but the dev team is clearly having issues bridging the gap between user experience and development/execution.

It errors/times-out most of the time and that’s when I’m actually able to get into it.

The program itself though, phenomenal 10/10. Snag a better developer who can execute on the vision for this app.

Big fan of FBB!

This platform has been a game changer for my health and fitness. At 43, I’m stronger than ever before and also have more mobility and less pain. I still play sports and feel better on the basketball court and soccer field than I did in my 30’s. I’ve never had issues with the app. Highly recommend!
