The free version is generous enough for you to give it a try and i recommend you do. Quite possibly the best fitness app available on iOS. ### 2/5 — Pink Tax *2026-07-30, version 5.12.9* It’s very frustrating that menstruation data requires a subscription. This is just another example of the pink tax that functionally affects HALF of the population! I’m sure the app is great but it doesn’t sit right that data only affecting people who menstruate is hidden behind a paywall. ### 2/5 — Weightlifting not registering as “good” workouts *2026-07-08, version 5.12.7* My main form of workouts is doing strength training. And I’m consistently pushing and progressing. But the app basically doesn’t recognize the benefit of anything other than doing cardio. Just got a message that I should bump up my activity. Mind you I’ve done 2 60+ minute hard lifting sessions this week with 10 minute Metcon work after. A bit annoying that all the app cares about is long cardio sessions. Could be a good app for motivation but that’s a really annoying way of looking at fitness. Might uninstall ### 3/5 — Presentation is babyish *2026-06-24, version 5.12.6* That has wonderful features, but they’re all duplicated from the APPLE Health app. Apple health app is more businesslike, but it seems you can see the data more coherently in the APPLE Health app. The Gentler Streak workout tracker is fine, but it’s kind of childish presents the information and it’s all over the place you dig into it to see the information it’s not presented in a logical fashion at least to me I could be wrong. I’ve had the app for a little over a month or maybe less than a month. I’m not sure but I have put in a request for a refund. That is great maybe for others but for me I found it a little too hard to find information readily. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t sync energy data *2026-06-11, version 5.12.6* It’s cute, but language is annoying. Mostly it does not write data to apple fitness about energy, just time, unless you have an Apple Watch. ### 5/5 — Gisell fit *2026-06-01, version 5.12.4* Abundante, exitosa,bendecida ❤️ atraigo siempre cosas buenas ### 3/5 — App works, but lies about real fitness levels *2026-05-28, version 5.12.4* The app works. However, it tells me that I have to keep taking 3 day breaks. I’m a healthy persons with no issues, but when I do a workout, like a 30 min easy walk, it complains that I am overreaching and demands I take three days off. That’s not healthy…that’s messed up. If the heart rate stays below 110, it’s safe to walk everyday, but this app feels differently. I’m thinking of canceling my subscription because I refuse to pay for a service that is basically lying to me. ### 2/5 — Watch app is broken *2026-05-23, version 5.12.4* Watch app never stays in sync, making this useless. Watch app usually says “Ready to raise the bar” or “Great day to push”. Phone app says” Do what feels good” or “You’re pushing too hard”. It’s a shame because this used to be a great app. No more subscription from me. ### 5/5 — 比较喜欢的健身记录软件 *2026-05-22* 通过活动路径记录并显示自己运动历史与强度很好用。社区故事希望可以多引入本地化的内容。一直订阅的用户。 **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for sharing your experience with Gentler Streak and for supporting what we do 🧡 We'd love to share community stories from our people from any part of the world! You can share yours by tapping Tell Your Story in the app and sending it to us ☺️ Thanks, Vid ### 2/5 — So far a waste of money *2026-05-18, version 5.12.4* It keeps promising to reveal something special eventually. 12 days in and there is nothing that I could not see on the Apple Health App. ### 2/5 — Bad app *2026-05-16, version 5.12.4* It tells you the same things over and over and over. It does not track accurately one minute to tell you that you’re over exceeding, then the next day you need to work out like you’ve never worked out in your entire life. It use to be better, but with all the “upgrades” it has become awful. I have had this app for several years and I am now going to get rid of it. ### 5/5 — Needs one more workout!🏀 *2026-05-15* Gentler Streak is seriously great for people who don’t want to exercise intensely, and gives us feedback of resting or pushing more effort to their body! Just one more thing for disability people who use Gentler, we need one more workout, and that is wheelchair basketball! It will make the app more accessible! Please and thank you! 🙏 ### 5/5 — Just the best *2026-05-14, version 5.12.3* I like the simplicity! Pretty simple and straightforward! Best design and native feel like app! ### 3/5 — Non social... *2026-05-09, version 5.12.3* Supports Bluesky but not X...? I guess that's good for the six or so people on Bluesky. Hopefully this is not some sort of political decision. You shouldn't punish your users for politics. ### 5/5 — The best workout tracker app *2026-05-06* Baixei diversos aplicativos de monitoramento de treinos e o gentler streak foi o melhor. A versão paga tem um preço super justo e vale a pena demaissssss! O app é muito bom! **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience with Gentler Streak. And thanks for being a supporter🧡 It's what makes everything we do possible ☺️ Wishing you a smooth fitness journey, Vid ### 5/5 — 非常可惜 *2026-04-30* 更新：我收到開發者的回應後再次嘗試下載重新安裝，這次沒有問題了，我想可能是第一次安裝時，在步驟上出了問題。系統正確抓到了我過去的資料並且提供有意義的回饋，非常感謝 剛安裝完，開啟會員方案試用，接著在設定選取同步「健康」選項後，沒有立刻同步過去的各項資料，包含睡眠、步數、心跳等。我等待了半小時後沒有其他變化，看起來我需要花費幾天，建立新的健康紀錄，才能知道這個APP能給我什麼幫助。有其他APP提供更即時的回饋，因此我決定放棄這款APP 介面很討喜，我本來有很高的期待的，非常可惜。 **Developer response:** Hi! That doesn't sound right. If you already have health and workout data in Health, you should be able to see it in Gentler Streak right away. Could you drop by support@gentlerapps.com so we can check what went wrong and help you set it up correctly? Thanks, Vid ### 5/5 — Gentler Streak Workout Tracker *2026-04-29, version 5.12.2* Gentler Streak Workout Tracker ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The truth *2026-08-03, version 5.12.9* I hade this app for a month I want it longer but every 5 seconds there was a add ### 1/5 — Delete delete *2026-06-08, version 5.12.6* I wanted to like this app. I even gave it several days to accumulate my health data. Then I realized it’s just a cash grab. Once your data populates, it’s instantly hidden behind a paywall and you get bombarded with adds to upgrade to a subscription. There is nothing “freemium” about Gentler Streak! It’s just an attempt to get installed on your phone so it can pester you with subscription offers. All the data is useless because they won’t let you see it until you pay. I wish I could see what the app is like without all the paywalls, so I could decide if it’s worth paying for!?!? But no, you have to sign up for a subscription (and it auto renews if you don’t remember to cancel the “free” trial). Hard pass. ### 1/5 — 别买别用 *2026-05-26* 这家公司已经做了一个功能一样、更完善的新APP，而不是完善现有的这个，最好两个都别用，都会被背刺。 ### 1/5 — Unable to edit *2026-04-25, version 5.12.1* At first glance, this appears to be a good app to summarize activities. Unfortunately, I quickly found out that you are unable to edit or delete activities that may be duplicates or other related options. I also noticed that there’s no place for putting in your weight?!? They have age and height as part of your metrics, why not weight? As such, cancelled my subscription within a week - what a waste of money! ### 1/5 — Garmin Lack of Support *2026-04-24* This app is for iPhone / Apple Watch users. I made the switch to a Garmin from an Apple Watch and the usability of this app has suffered tremendously. The flow is now: Garmin Watch -> Garmin Connect -> Apple Health -> Gentler Streak. I’ve paid for the app in full, I’m not on a subscription. If I had known Garmin wasn’t fully integrated I would not have purchased. **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with Gentler Streak. This doesn't sound right. Could you please drop by support@gentlerapps.com so that I can take a look and help you set it up correctly? Thanks, Vid ### 1/5 — Don’t know what this is for or about, but would like to cancel or stopped! *2026-04-17, version 5.12.1* Thanks ### 1/5 — No free trial and got no money back !!!! *2026-04-06, version 5.12* Very disappointed. There was no free trial as advertised, and I did not get any money back. The offer was misleading and not clear at all. I signed up expecting to be able to try the service first, but instead I was charged and then could not get a refund. Customer service was not helpful in fixing the problem. I feel like this was unfair and a waste of my money. I would not recommend this service to anyone unless they clearly explain the billing and refund policy first. ### 1/5 — No way to see if this is the right fit for you without paying up front *2026-03-22, version 5.11.3* Be weary of apps like this that don’t let you test a premium version with a trial. This app wants your money up front so you can’t see if it’s a good fit without giving them money up front. And you only receive the 50% off discount for 24 hours after downloading the app. I primarily use iPhone widgets and my Apple Watch complications for viewing my data at a glance. I can’t test the accuracy of this app without premium off the bat. Don’t waste your money on a chance to see if this works for you. ### 1/5 — Locking up *2026-03-06, version 5.11.3* Having trouble when doing a dog walk my watch locks up and have to reboot my watch. That did not fix it. Had to take gentler streak off of watch to stop it. Have apple watch ultra 3. Just renewed app and not happy about spending the money. This is not the first time it has done this. Update: Found out this is a bug. Waiting for the fix. ### 1/5 — Corrupt *2026-02-27, version 5.11.3* Bought the membership and was unhappy with the product. Unsubscribed and instantly lost access to the app while still paying for the year. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pedido *2026-08-24* Gostaria da versão vitalícia somente para mim sem ser familiar ### 5/5 — Excellent app, I recommend it! *2026-08-24* Excellent app, I recommend it! I was surprised by the exceptional features of the app, undoubtedly one of the best on the App Store. ### 5/5 — 좋아요 *2026-07-31* 앞으로 나날이 발전하길!!🫪🤩🤩 **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for sharing that! We're working hard on that ☺️ Wishing you a great fitness journey! Vid ### 5/5 — A dynamic approach to fitness *2026-07-10, version 5.12.8* Gentler Streak is a core (yet unobtrusive) part of my day to day. The flexibility of the Activity Path and the encouragement of rest days helped me form good habits without feeling all-or-nothing. Gentler Streak helped me ease into an active lifestyle again after coming out on the other side of years of debilitating illnesses and not only helped me establish my new normal but provided me the tools of how to work with my body without making me feel like missing “progress” days was a setback. I can’t recommend Gentler Streak enough, especially for those who struggle with the rigidity of an all-or-nothing approach or those who wish to understand how the rhythms of their body impact fitness/activity goals. ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2026-07-05* I’ve been using Gentler Streak for a few years and recently decided to get the lifetime because it’s truly such a helpful tool. As a woman with ADHD exercise is the biggest struggle (after laundry) especially when I’m not feeling 100%, but this takes the decision making and negotiation out of it. The activity suggestions are automatically matched to my energy level and menstrual cycle phase so I can either do it or give myself permission to not without feeling guilty. **Developer response:** Hi! First of all, thanks for supporting what we do by purchasing the lifetime plan and for being with us for all these years! We're glad to hear Gentler Streak has been able to help by taking some of the mental load out of deciding when and how to exercise. Knowing it helps you move without the guilt means a lot. Thanks for sharing your experience with Gentler Streak!🧡 Vid ### 5/5 — 非常好的应用 *2026-07-02* 使得我运动更有动力，也更能掌握自己身体运动时发生的状态变化！ **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Gentler Streak! We’re really happy to hear the app is helping you stay motivated and get to know your body a little better with every workout. Cheers, Vid ### 5/5 — 好用 *2026-07-01* 非常好用一款软件，赞赞赞 **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for the super sweet review! 🧡🥰 All the best, Vid ### 5/5 — Gentler Streak hat mich zurück ins Sportleben geholt *2026-06-30* Vor 14 Jahren habe ich eine traumatische Sportverletzung erlitten, weil ich aus den falschen Gründen (Selbsthass), viel zu viel Sport gemacht und mich grundsätzlich körperlich überfordert habe. Sie hat mich viele Jahre begleitet und aus Angst habe ich mich sportlich nicht mehr herausgefordert. Long story short: ich hab endlich ne Therapie gemacht und habe mir GS heruntergeladen, um meine Opferrolle endlich hinter mir zu lassen. Ich habe mit der App nach und gelernt, meinem Körper wieder zu vertrauen und meine Grenzen neu kennengelernt - das hat mir soooooo massiv Lebensqualität geschenkt! Ich bedanke mich beim gesamten Entwicklerteam und empfehle eure App bei jeder Gelegenheit weiter - ich den Lesern, die bis hierhin gekommen sind 😃Bitte macht weiter so 🙏 **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks so much for sharing your journey and experience with Gentler Streak! We're so glad to hear you're better now and that Gentler Streak has been able to help you regain trust in your body and create a healthier and more sustainable fitness habit.🧡 Thanks, Vid ### 5/5 — Perfect app ! Just one request. *2026-06-29* Fantastic app. Not pushy. Really has helped me. The one important improvement to make is to add a tab on the activity page that, in addition to the distance, duration, and flights, you get to see and compare the actual number of steps per week, per month and per year. One small change but an important one. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-06-29* When I started following the app guidance, I stopped getting frequent small injuries caused by the lack of appropriate recovery. Also this app really helps me to avoid overexercising which triggers my migraines. It supports stable progress in my fitness journey. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
