The interface and usability is good, but I was disappointed to find that many of the stretches/exercises are overly complicated and difficult to the point that I can’t even do them on the ‘easy mode’. Most of these are targeting basic muscle groups that could easily be covered with a simpler movement. There is also no way to mark specific stretches/movements as not wanted, so I’m running into the same movements that I can’t do or are painful to do in every single session. If I was flexible enough to do these workouts I wouldn’t need the app in the first place. ### 4/5 — Bien mais perfectible *2026-06-21* D’une façon générale l’application est bien sympa et c’est un véritable game changer pour son bien être. Cependant deux choses me chagrines après 1 an d’utilisation. 1) la durée des exercices. Sur de l’activation parfois 1 minutes c’est trop long. Ca serait bien de pouvoir choisir ce temps. Sur une séance d’entraînement un peu courte je préférerais faire 20x30s plus tôt que 10x1min et être passé par plus de mouvement. 2) sur de l’activation pour de l’haltérophilie par exemple, si je renseigne squat snatch et clean & jerk alors j’aurais quasi toujours les memes mouvements… **Developer response:** Bonjour, Merci pour votre retour et votre fidélité. Vous soulevez deux points très pertinents. Concernant la durée des exercices, celle-ci est définie pour garantir l’efficacité des mouvements proposés, mais nous comprenons que certains utilisateurs puissent souhaiter davantage de flexibilité selon leur pratique. Pour l’haltérophilie, nous travaillons également à enrichir la variété des mouvements proposés afin d’éviter les répétitions. Merci pour ces suggestions constructives, elles nous aident à améliorer l’application. ### 4/5 — Great app, but some inconsistencies *2026-06-21, version 5.10.1* I love the app, but there are a few problems with it. My biggest concern is that some of the targeted muscle groups and Stimulus appear to be wrong or incomplete. The lunge rotation in my Daily showed different targets areas than the Library and the pec stretch on the ground doesn’t list the back list the other big muscles that are impacted like other stretches. These are minor points, but they are not accurate and inconsistent. ### 4/5 — Great app but excludes many sports *2026-06-07, version 5.8.5* LOVE this app- very helpful for me as someone who does gymnastics competitively. The only thing holding me back from 5 stars is that there is no option for gymnastics as a sport. It is also a weird coincidence that cheer, dance, skating etc are not included! Great app but please include ALL sports. ### 3/5 — Paywall *2026-05-25, version 5.8.4* This app is great but it feels like you can only use it by spending money. You can't favorite stretches without paying for a subsciption. It would be a lot better if it was less restrictive for those who don't want to pay money. Even if you want to start the 7 day free trial you need to enter your credit card info without even starting the subscription, and it automatically takes $125 right after the 7 days run out. ### 4/5 — No skateboarding? *2026-05-14, version 5.8.3* This is a great stretching and mobility app, but why is there no skateboarding under sports? ### 3/5 — GOWOD Review: the only thing holding it back from being a 5 (1 major issue please read developers) *2026-03-19, version 5.6.0* The app is amazing towards those with very specific goals and serious users. The user interface is extremely clean. The only issue I have with this app is the fact that it doesn’t have widgets. I use widget to see my weekly progress easily on my phone for my protocol, but I have to use a shortcut instead. I know you guys can do better. I bet it’s not hard to create one, and it would make this app even more tolerable. That’s the only thing holding back my review from being a 5. If you guys change it I will change it because the app would be more complete. We just need amazing, clean looking widgets. ### 3/5 — Super appli mais…. *2026-03-16* L’appli IOS est vraiment super bien faite. Les exercices sont compréhensibles, très bien expliqués évacué les détails, le chrono permet d’avoir le teps de changer de position et elle prend à compte le matériel du moment. Malheureusement, la synchronisation avec une Garmin, ce n’est vraiment pas ça! Apres avoir télécharger le mode pour la Garmin, il n’y a pas de synchro qui se fait dans l’appli Garmin, du coup la séance n’apparaît pas, et il n’y a pas le détail des exercices. Ensuite, sur la dernière maj, le temps indiqué pour chaque exercice est 60 min et non 1 minute. C’est vraiment la grosse lacune pour moi de GoWod, la liaison Garmin et la compatibilité avec Garmin Connect qui est inexistante. Dommage **Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour. Nous avons effectué une mise à jour de l'app concernant les désagréments que vous pouviez rencontrer entre l'app et la montre Garmin. Si vous avez toujours des retours a nous faire, vous pouvez contacter directement notre support clients directement depuis l'app, qui se fera un plaisir de vous aider. Merci à vous! ### 3/5 — Good for stretching *2026-03-01, version 5.5.7* Could do with a talk through not just pictures. ### 3/5 — Review *2026-02-28, version 5.5.7* I don’t like how little you can do without the premium. I would like to be able to take multiple tests without having to buy the app for my second one. ### 4/5 — Apple TV App? *2026-02-04, version 5.5.5* I’d love it if there was a native Apple TV app like ROMWOD has. It would make the experience perfect. ### 5/5 — Excellent app. *2026-01-30, version 5.5.2* Great instructions. Easy and hard modes offered. Personalized to the sports I play. And great flexibility app. Little pricey but strong value. ### 5/5 — Stretching streamlined *2026-01-29, version 5.5.1* Being told what to do is so much easier, and its timed with instructions. Following a routine never has been easier. ### 5/5 — Great app, but would love more physio focus *2026-01-25, version 5.5.1* So I love options provided and stretches. The only request would be if you could include more physio specific fixes, I.E if you have pain how can you fix it well? ### 4/5 — Wish there was audio *2026-01-20, version 5.5.1* When I get to the gym, I like to just start with this app I feel like I have to stop read through every instruction before I start the stretch to make sure that I’m doing it properly. If you’re looking for something super super super super simple then maybe this app is for you. I wouldn’t pay more than $45 a year for these. It’s just organized stretches. ### 5/5 — Absolutely love it *2026-01-19, version 5.5.0* I absolutely love this app, it is pricy, however the most user friendly and motivating app I have used. Highly recommend and I am seeing results! ### 5/5 — Love it. *2026-01-14, version 5.4.4* Please add a different option for the bell, maybe not one so sharp. ### 2/5 — Very good *2026-01-05* Didn’t start, they want my money ) **Developer response:** Hey, If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our support contact@gowod.eu :) Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Free Version is B.S *2026-07-07, version 5.10.2* Everything they do is to push you into the paid version. Response to dev team: Yes a free library that i can get anywhere. The only useful thing about this app was the mobility test. And that is no where near what you are charging. ### 1/5 — They need an editor *2026-01-11, version 5.4.3* The very first exercise they gave had written instructions that did not match the video with it. I have no interest in trying to figure out which thing they want me to do. Glad there was 7 days free. I tried it for 2 minutes and found it to be useless. ### 1/5 — Not much of a free version *2025-12-28, version 5.4.2* The app itself is $14 a month or you can get a discounted price of $125 for a year. If you’re looking for guided routines you might as well go to YouTube and save yourself the money. Overall, very disappointed at the “free“ version of this app. ### 1/5 — Can’t access any sessions *2025-12-15, version 5.3.1* A week ago I started getting pop ups every time I tried to start a stretching session asking me if I wanted to upgrade to premium or change my subscription When I decline or close them down they just keep popping up. Logged out, deleted the app and logged back in - no change. Sent a query to GOWOD - no reply. Tried to contact them via the app - error loading the page. Completely useless. I have cancelled my subscription ### 1/5 — Garbage since it’s only paid now *2025-07-08, version 5.1.7* I used to use this app years ago and then recently decided to use it again. What a disappointment. Everything is a push to buy a subscription. Such a waste. ### 1/5 — Money, Money ,Money *2025-06-30, version 5.1.6* Typical, entices you in by saying it is free, then wants money to access the actual stuff it lures you in with. Enough, get away from me… ### 1/5 — slick, but everything behind paywall *2025-05-25, version 5.1.1* Nice design, but everything is behind a paywall! You go through a ton of screens to try to set up a workout, and once you hit "go", then you get the pricing. Don't bother trying to figure out if there's anything you can try or do without a subscription because it's all behind a subscription. ### 1/5 — So many issues *2025-05-04, version 5.0.5* I really regret buying the annual. This app never connects for airplay, the sound is always gone so I constantly have to stay glued to my screen timer. The big update they did a month or so back made the app so much worse. Stop and Go with pliability. ### 1/5 — GOWOD subscriber for years *2025-04-02, version 5.0.2* New version broke a number of things I loved about the old version… Garmin integration no longer works, can’t seem to stop autoplay, etc. I’ll find an alternative. ### 1/5 — Everything is behind a 14-day free trial, then a paywall. *2025-02-04, version 4.23.0* Title. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent app for stretching *2026-07-12, version 5.10.2* It’s the only stretching/mobility app that I’ve been able to keep to. Doesn’t ask for too much or too little and you can adopted to your skill set. Good range of different types of stretches and different varieties and different options. I highly recommend as I’ve been keeping to this for over a year now. ### 5/5 — Reaches parts you wouldn't expect! *2026-04-09, version 5.6.2* Very very pleased with this App. I used to be a yoga teacher and these stretches are finding muscles workouts I've knew. Really helps me with my sport, keeps my back well and overall body in great shape. Clever and simple! Nice job! ### 5/5 — Incredible *2026-04-05, version 5.6.2* GOWOD has been a great addition to my daily routine. I used the other popular mobility app for a while before switching and this is by far the best of the two. I have no complaints! This is strictly feedback for small improvements that would be beneficial to *some. My first suggestion is to make an option for a widget on the phones home screen. Those are great reminders to open an app. Another suggestion would be to allow a selection of multiple positions for one sport. Ex: for (flag) football or basketball, some play multiple positions. I’m not sure what really changes from position to position but it would still be nice to select, just in case. My last suggestion is to add more of the popular Crossfit Programs to the list. I understand it’s only the list of partners, but Mayhem would be another great addition to that list. Thank you for hearing me out! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-03-20, version 5.6.1* I am using this every day and have seen a significant difference ### 5/5 — The best mobility app *2026-03-02, version 5.5.8* I’ve tried all mobility apps, this is by far the best one out there and it’s not even close. The test is fantastic at understanding where I need help, and I’ve been following the personalised mobility routine every day or so and have felt an immediate difference. Highly recommend if you’re like me and don’t have the best mobility! ### 5/5 — Parabéns *2026-02-23* Excelente **Developer response:** Thank you, Robin! ### 5/5 — It’s become a treasured habit *2026-02-19, version 5.5.6* When my husband bought the GOWOD app, I told him “why would you buy an app to tell you how to stretch? But oh my goodness, he was right as usual. It’s been a game changer for my mobility, flexibility, and preworkout activation. I use it daily to warm up for lifting, and I use the Sleep routine before bed nightly. I HIGHLY recommend this app. I enjoy stretching for the first time ever. ### 5/5 — Tolle App *2026-02-18* Vielseitige Übungen, die sich leicht in den Alltag integrieren lassen! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you appreciate the variety of exercises and how easily they fit into your daily routine. That’s exactly what we aim for with GOWOD, effective mobility work that integrates seamlessly into everyday life. Thank you for being part of the journey. ### 5/5 — Great help *2026-02-16, version 5.5.5* Iv been using this a month now and Iv got to admit the difference is incredible. Iv been using it to warm up and down and the occasional personalised flow. According to the assessment Iv increased my mobility quite a bit. Iv noticed my balance is getting better too - which is surely related ### 5/5 — Epic *2026-02-06, version 5.5.5* Loving this. So good.
