Camera won’t focus on the patch at all or scan it. It’s been a waste of money. ### 1/5 — App Doesnt work *2024-11-16, version 2.7.4* I bought a Gx bottle and everytime I try and sign into the app, it gets to the part asking if I want to allow notifications. No matter what I click after that it gives me a red banner sign at the bottom saying “Your session has expired. Please login again.” I’ve deleted the app multiple times and the same thing keeps happening. ### 1/5 — Can’t login *2024-10-18, version 2.7.3* I recently bought the GX bottle and was excited to see how it worked with the app. I can’t login and repeatedly get either “Session Timed Out” right after I hit the notification button to accept them or I get “Hmmm something went wrong.” This is truly sad to see as this issue is still happening after viewing previous reviews. Come on Gatorade, you’re better than this. ### 4/5 — Could have widgets and Dynamic Island stuff *2024-09-24, version 2.7.2* It a good app but I wish that for my smart bottle I hade stuff so I could look at my phone and It would tell me how much water I have had ### 1/5 — Does not scan *2024-09-08, version 2.6.4* Buy it. Wear it. Won’t scan. Useless. Don’t date your money. ### 4/5 — AppleHealthKit Integration *2024-06-13, version 2.6.4* Can you add AppleHealthKit integration to track “water” similar to how “Hidrate” does it? Would be more convenient! Thanks! ### 1/5 — Can’t create an account! *2024-06-07, version 2.6.3* Won’t allow me to create an account after following all prompts and creating a password matching their criteria. Have tried several times. Killing in the app, deleting and re-downloading. ### 4/5 — Amazing but could add something *2024-06-02* This app is grate but you should add widgets for your phone ### 1/5 — Log in issues *2024-05-12, version 2.6.3* Same issues as others. I get a “hmm, looks like something went wrong” error after allowing notifications and cannot sign in. ### 1/5 — Gx sweat patch doesn’t work *2024-04-15, version 2.6.3* Opens camera to scan but never scans ### 1/5 — Gx App won’t proceed past login *2024-04-10, version 2.6.3* Every time I try to login it lets me enter my information and then lets me continue to where it ask to allow notifications and when I click allow I either get an error message saying my session expired or I get a try again message and nothing works. Un installed and re installed and still didn’t work. ### 1/5 — Unable to get past the signup page *2024-03-30, version 2.6.2* I bought a Smart Gx Bottle and when it finally arrived I was excited to use it for my morning run to track my hydration. I charged it and downloaded the app. It prompted me to signup to make an account. It asked for my email, which I put in, and then my date of birth. When I tap the area to put it in the “Done” button slides to the top of the page and no other prompt shows up except for a grayed out background of the original page. There’s no keyboard, calendar, or scroll feature that shows up that allows me to put in my DOB. There isn’t even a line where I would type it as I tried to write it down in my notes and copy and paste it into the app. I’ve tried redownloading the app, restarting my phone, refreshing a new signup page and nothing will let me get past the first two steps. Very frustrating, missed my morning run trying to troubleshoot this. ### 1/5 — Won’t focus on patch to scan it *2023-09-28, version 2.4.3* App won’t use the right camera to scan patch. Cannot focus. Does not work on 12 Pro, 13 Pro, 14 Pro an now 15 Pro. ### 1/5 — “Silent Mode” removed *2023-09-28* After an app update, the Smart GX Bottle no longer has silent mode, meaning that the LEDs flash whenever you drink. This makes the bottle impossible to leave the house with, as it will just be distracting and obnoxious to everyone around you. ### 4/5 — Good App needs widget integration *2023-09-20, version 2.4.2* Good App needs widget integration ### 1/5 — Can’t scan patches *2023-08-16, version 2.4.0* App uses the wrong camera (iPhone 14 pro) and can’t get into focus when the path is close enough to match the guide outlines. iPhones camera itself will auto correct and use the close up lens to get into focus, but the Gatorade app isn’t designed to do the same. Until then this product is $25 wasted. ### 1/5 — I keep having issues signing in *2023-07-30, version 2.3.0* I’m not sure what is wrong, I’ve tried to rest my password and everything, but the app just won’t let me sign in. ### 1/5 — Insanely glitchy *2023-07-29, version 2.3.0* I created an account but could never log in due to the same repeated error message! I tried scanning the patch without logging in and kept getting error messages every 10 seconds. It kept getting stalled out at the effort level question. I kept trying to close the app and rescan until it said the patch didn’t have enough data anymore and it was now worthless! So disappointing 😭😭😭 ### 1/5 — Trash *2023-06-28, version 2.2.0* After like 30 min of lifting weights and it didn’t work, useless. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — GX patch scan faulty *2026-06-28, version 3.1.0* The camera for gx patch scan doesn’t focus, preventing scan, so the patches are useless ### 1/5 — App sucks *2026-06-18, version 3.1.0* This is a huge waste of money. I spent how much on the patches and it’s the stupid app that doesn’t work? First off - why do I even need a stupid app? But I have now downloaded it twice, and either I am immediately logged out as soon as I log in or I get a “something went wrong try again “ message. So damn annoying!!!! Total waste of money and time!!! ### 1/5 — Faulty glitchy app *2026-01-24, version 3.0.1* App doesn’t work at all ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2025-11-18, version 2.9.7* App keeps hanging up when trying to enter DOB for sweat patches scan. Can’t use - waste of money. ### 1/5 — Sweat Patch with Forgetful App *2025-11-18, version 2.9.7* Tried using the sweat patch. Everything went ok. Finished exercise, took a few times to get the scan picture acceptable. Then I was prompted for questions about the exercise, had to wait a few minutes before I could come up with how much I drank. Too slow to enter that I guess, the app resets and prompts me to scan the patch. So it lost all the info entered, including the patch scan. Since the patch keeps filling up with sweat as time goes on, my results are now messed up. Wasted a patch. Why does the app develop ammesia after a few minutes? Please fix. ### 1/5 — Sweat patch *2025-10-23, version 2.9.7* Wouldn’t scan the patch no matter how hard I tried after my workout. Pretty upset as I wanted to get someone information on how my body works during a workout but guess not wasted my 2 patches for nothing ### 1/5 — Camera won’t focus *2025-10-06, version 2.9.5* The camera will not focus on the patch resulting in all scans failing. ### 1/5 — Can't open app *2025-09-10, version 2.9.4* I downloaded the app I was trying to the app it opens to the lightning bolt and boots me back to my Home Screen on my iPad ### 1/5 — Big Brand Fail *2025-08-19, version 2.9.3* A brand as big as Gatorade, promoting the app through the sale of the Gatorade sweat patch and smart bottle, you would think that they would have a working app where you could AT LEAST get past the sign in page. Nope. And looking at 4 years of reviews, nothing has changed. What are we doing here besides wasting time and people’s money? ### 1/5 — Temperature *2025-07-18, version 2.9.1* App has a glitch when inputting the temp. Useless. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2023-02-06, version 2.0.8* This app was amazing! It provided an amazing workout. I did the DK training sessions all 10 weeks. The numbers for weight can be a little bit conservative, but I’m assuming that it was more for beginners. I increased weight to where I felt comfortable and still able to complete the workout. The videos helped with my RDL form as well. This would really help those who are just starting. ### 5/5 — Daily toolkit for athletic performance *2022-11-11, version 2.0.6* Great suite of tools in this free app. Comprehensive training programs with realistic programming for results. Hydration coaching. Sweat testing. And science backed information to dial in how to fuel, train and recover. This is not the app for off-one workouts for buns and abs (check out Nike Training Club for that.). But if you are an athlete, or just want to work out like one, check this out. ### 5/5 — Gx App *2022-11-02, version 2.0.6* Great way to track daily hydration with the Smart Bottle and love the workout programs! I use it daily. ### 5/5 — Please fix your app *2022-10-17, version 2.0.5* Gatorade allow me to sign in to your app ### 5/5 — . *2022-08-22, version 1.2.12* I got a bottle that had for the pod and it said when i signed in to put my email and went to spam it said this app steals personal stuff information i dont know if i trust it? ### 5/5 — So cool *2022-08-04, version 1.2.12* Love it ### 5/5 — Easy to Use *2021-09-25, version 1.2.6* The app is easy to use with the Gx patch and gave me a lot of information about my workout. I received the Gx patch complimentary from Influenster. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2021-08-27, version 1.2.6* I did feel the app was easy to use. I enjoy seeing what work outs work best for me with my higher heart rate and uncontrollable breathing. Highly recommend this app and sweat patch to anyone trying help figure out what works best for you and your workouts. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2021-08-25, version 1.2.6* At first it was hard to use but then when I figured it out how to use it. It was nice and interesting to know what it tells you about your sweat ### 5/5 — Cool *2021-08-23, version 1.2.6* While it did take some time to figure out how to work with the patches, but this app is awesome! I found the interface to be clean and navigable. You should check it out --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
