Excellent support
I was one of the unlucky ones who experienced major issues with this app after the iOS 27 update. When I eventually contacted support they were very quick to respond in an informative and friendly and released a fix that solved my issues very quickly. In light of that I have put my review up to five stars as this is an excellent app with excellent support.
Original review:
This is generally a friendly and useful app with lots of guidance, stats and health content which I used to use every day.
Since updating to iOS 27 it’s become almost unusable unfortunately. It will often load with blank screens and spinners, with no history of health or activities, which then blocks access to anything and everything. It also makes my iPhone 17 Pro run very very hot. None of this was fixed after a delete and reinstall either and it’s very unfortunate that my annual subscription renewed a few weeks ago.
Hoping the developers are working on a fix to make the app usable again.

Taking long to load the home screen
Its a great app that i have been using for long. I have purchased the premium version as well but recently after an update the home page takes forever to load! Please fix this…
Very good for people who are NOT data crunchers
I use Apple Health/Fitness, Withings Health (premium), Hume Health (premium) and Gentler Streak (premium). I also use Apple Watch 12, Hume Band2.0, Withings Body Comp scale and Hume Pod scale. So for the data junkie in me I look to Hume and Withings but I find polar opposites in recommendations. Today Hume said rest, low activity, recovery. Withings said Very Ready. Apple said Favorable/Ready. All gave various metrics and data. Gentler Streak was a lot easier to understand, skips past the metrics and offers simple written suggestions. It gives a simple graph that shows your path, cardio health, etc. it does so my drawing conclusions from your Apple Watch collected data and your scale’s data, collected in Apple Health. I like the simple direction and simple graphics. If you are NOT a metrics junkie, this is a great app to watch the direction of your health.

Tired of “AI” being shoved into everything
I’m giving Gentler a grace period since I saw you tell another reviewer that your “AI” features are on-device Apple Intelligence (which was forced on us all like it or not) and optional, but you’re on notice. “AI” in its current form is a destructive technology that was released into the public many years before it was ready to be out of a purely research environment. Data centers are poisoning the water, electricity bills, and sound levels of the communities forced to host them. And generative “AI” only exists because it was trained off of work stolen from human artists. Not to mention the financial sleight of hand maintaining this nonsense, dragging us all towards a bubble that needs to pop sooner rather than later.
Tread carefully. And I better not see even a hint of a genAI Yorhart!

stopped working
The app is frozen and no longer works, I do have a paid subscription. I am very disappointed!
Good app but I really need step tracking
Developers of this app correctly point out that steps are tracked.
But, what they don’t tell you is that you can only see the past 14 days of steps. In other words, it’s not for serious walkers.
The app layout lends itself well to simply adding Steps to the tab which already very nicely tracks distance, elevation, time, etc for weekly, monthly, and yearly comparisons.
Just adding Steps to that page would solve it !
The app is very good in not being pushy and letting you take control of your fitness journey. This is precisely what us walkers are looking for in a fitness app. Just better step tracking, please.

Doesn’t work since IOS update
Love this app and it worked really well before the latest IOS update. Since the update it will not load any of my metrics, I just get stuck on a loading screen indefinitely. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it but now the app is stuck on the welcome screen. It prompts me to click an arrow to continue which I do but then nothing happens and the screen becomes frozen.
Overall very disappointing. I understand it’s expected to experience some bugs with an update but in this case the app is completely unusable which is extremely disappointing as a premium user.

Love This App
Gentler Streak provides me with better exercise and health information than any other app I have subscribed to. It helps me to make informed decisions and I love the health items that it tracks! Five stars all the way!!!!
Easy
Finally an exercise app that fits what I want to do, which is walk use rowing machine and ride a bike. Very easy to set up you
do not have to jump through hoops to eliminate things that you do not need.

Not what it once was
I’ve had this app for years. In the early days it worked well. But not so much any more. New features get bolted on while bugs accumulate.
If your Apple Watch should run out of battery while in use, the app gets terribly confused and stuck.
I spent the last year with the Watch complication saying “Getting to know”. I’ve no idea what it wants to learn nor how to teach it.
This month my green thermometer streak meter will appear one day at the top, on the verge of “overreaching”. Next day the streak meter is at the bottom of the green, implying little activity. Today it got worse, declaring my “streak is lost” with my streak meter dropped dead into the red. Meanwhile my actual activity, mainly dog walks, has been the same two to three walks a day, everyday.
Apparently I’ve been paying for them to add superfluous features I’ll never use, while bugs accumulate in the very core of their basic functionality. So I’ll be ending my subscription, instead relying on Apple’s built-in improving exercise tracking and health advising features.

Eff AI
Not interested in AI so I'm deleting
The absolute best!
I’ve been using this app since it debuted. I am an endurance athlete. It gives me everything I need in a snap! Plus it’s adorable and independently owned. I recommend this app over any other fitness app!
Terrible app
Only tracks sleep and half the steps and no calories. It’s unusable for the most part. Try adding exercise and it does allow it. Terrible usability. A complete waste of money. I wish I could get my money and expectations back.
Good for tracking exercise load
It’s a good app to let you know if you overtrained or can push a little more.
Not worth it
I guess maybe the app isn’t intuitive, at least not for me. I might as well just fill in a spreadsheet.
One problem
If you could make it so your data could get synced through iCloud, to your watch like what you should do today, or if your pushing too hard so you don’t need to carry around a phone. it would really improve your app.
