### 5/5 — Great app, great features

*2026-08-15, version 4.5.18*

Came across the introduction video to this app on another platform and bought the hybrid program. So much available in the app! Super intuitive layout and I can add/change exercises

### 3/5 — App bugs out when adding custom exercise days

*2026-07-09, version 4.5.17*

The app is otherwise fine, but when adding a custom workout, it carries over values from the previous workout, meaning you have to delete them all line by line.

### 5/5 — Great all around

*2026-02-16, version 4.5.11*

I bought the hybrid bodybuilding bundle and I absolutely love it. The programs are awesome and the app is very well thought out. Also, a shout out to their customer service for being on point helping me get things sorted out

### 3/5 — App overall works okay

*2026-02-10*

The exercises offered are different compared to other workout apps. I have two complaints, 1. It would be nice to have a a tone or indicator when the rest period ends. 2. My current plane is hybrid bodybuilding 4.0 phase 2. During the workout, the phone screen closes and I have to reopen the phone. This is annoying especially when doing timed cardio. This didn’t happen with phase 1.

### 1/5 — Customer support nonexistent

*2026-01-21*

Customer support is not answering my emails. I sent them emails asking if they have an update on my request and they didn’t even bother answering. App may be good but don’t expect customer support to help you.

### 2/5 — Major bugs/design problems

*2026-01-07*

The developers of this app have clearly opted to prioritize paying fitspo influencers for their programs over functionality and user friendly interfaces. 

The first major issue I have is that no music or video app will consistently playback while this app is open. My music stops every 5-10 seconds while I’m lifting, and god forbid I have it still open when I try to throw on Netflix while doing LISS cardio. And before you suggest troubleshooting, I have tried every single thing I could find while scouring the internet. 

The user interface is clunky. Nobody I have ever met logs reps THEN weight, especially with RPE/RIR based training. You pick a weight, then log the reps. The app needs to add warmup set functionality to be fully useful. One other thing: the fact that the requires so much wifi bandwidth is absolutely infuriating. Not every gym has WiFi, and if it takes 5 minutes to load or complete a workout, you’ve lost me. 

Disappointed with this. Hope it gets fixed.

### 1/5 — Support won’t reply

*2025-12-08*

I contacted the support, but they just reply nothing even just want to change email address and login name. I will give 0 star if I can.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2025-11-27, version 4.5.5*

It's good app for all people who want improve yourself. Recommend!

### 5/5 — It’s fantastic

*2025-11-19*

It’s deep, challenging, worth every penny, worth your time. If you commit, it pays you back in spades.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2025-11-13, version 4.5.4*

i'm very insterested in
