GROW is everything and more. I had the progress trackers and the meal plans, and you could switch out workouts if you didn’t have the right. I have it for a year and it removes the choice that held me back. Highly recommend. ### 3/5 — Great at first *2026-06-06, version 2.2.1* I have been following Anna for years. I started on her YouTube channel and moved to the app once it launched. At first I loved it. Lately there has not been really many new videos posted and I feel like I have to do the same work outs over and over again. Some of her newer content is much shorter workouts than her usual workouts which is frustrating. I feel like more videos are posted on her YouTube channel that should also be on the app (unless they are and I am just not seeing them). I feel if I am paying a monthly fee I should have access to all videos on the app that I am regularly tracking my progress on. Also why pay when I can just see them for free? Otherwise I love the app and have no issues with it. ### 3/5 — Not quite worth it *2026-04-21, version 2.1.25* I love Anna and her workouts, but this app just didn’t meet my needs. The app is beautifully designed but some limitations made it unusable for me. You can’t filter workouts or programs by fitness level, equipment or duration. You can’t retake the custom plan quiz. You can’t view what exact equipment is required on workouts marked as requiring equipment. I also found it worked really poorly with AirPlay and screencast was not available. Several times in the middle of a workout it jumped to the cooldown and I had to restart a few times to get back to the main workout, then scrub to where I left off. For me, just searching Anna’s YouTube channel works best. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-03-31, version 2.1.25* Love this and love Anna! But it would be great with the meal plans to have a weekly view and for the meals to be more meal prep friendly instead of completely different each day….a grocery list would also be amazing! 😊 ### 5/5 — Amazingly effective workouts! *2026-03-08, version 2.1.25* You WILL get fitter, stronger, and probably slimmer if you stick with Anna. I’m a peri-menopausal woman who GAINED muscle mass with these workouts!! Thank you, Anna! ### 5/5 — AMAZING (best fitness app EVER) *2026-01-21, version 2.1.25* This app was totally worth the money! The Grow with Anna app had so much for you! It has yummy healthy recipes, and, workouts to do,and ,challenges and workouts that the app only has not her YouTube channel.I am just going to say that THE GROW WITH ANNA APP WAS WORTH THE MONEY! It really helped me feel my BEST!! Hope you find this helpful! ### 5/5 — Bugs and limit funct *2026-01-18, version 2.1.25* Unfortunately, there are a lot of bugs in the app — even more lately than there were at the beginning. Although I really love training with Ann, these issues make using the app uncomfortable. There is no way to see all the programs I am following in my account; I can only see one program at a time. This creates confusion and inconvenience, because every time I have to switch back and forth between different training programs. I would really appreciate it if the team could work on improving the app, its features and functionality, and also fix the existing bugs and inaccuracies. I truly believe in your team and that everything will get better, so we can continue training comfortably and with pleasure. ☺️🥰 ### 3/5 — Pas si utile *2026-01-08, version 2.1.25* Je suis Anna sur YouTube depuis quelques années. J’adore ses trainings, j’adore ses vidéos. Je me suis abonnée à l’application mais honnêtement, je ne vois pas le plus value que de la suivre sur YouTube. Oui, elle a des plans d’entraînement intéressants mais rien qui ne se trouve pas sur YouTube. En fait, c’est plus complet sur YouTube, on dirait. Je trouve aussi qu’il est difficile d’adresser des commentaires au service à la clientèle ou avoir des réponses à mes questions. Je continue de recevoir des offres d’abonnement pas courriel alors que je suis déjà abonnée. Tout cela est très confus et il est difficile de comprendre comment se désabonner de l’app. Aussi, je n’arrive pas à ouvrir l’app sur mon ordinateur. Je dois brancher mon cellulaire sur Mon laptop… Beaucoup d’inconvénients. Je ne pense pas renouveler quand mon abonnement va expirer… si je trouve comment faire! lol ### 3/5 — Andere Erwartungen *2026-01-04* Leider bin ich sehr enttäuscht von der App. Es wurde einiges versprochen, was meiner Meinung nach nicht gut umgesetzt ist. Die App allgemein ist sehr übersichtlich und verständlich. Dennoch finde ich es schade, dass sie ausschließlich auf Englisch ist. Die versprochenen Zyklusgerechten Workouts sind toll, allerdings hätte ich erwartet, dass man diese direkt mit dem Zyklus tracken kann und sich diese nicht selbst raussuchen muss. Generell fände ich Übungsalternativen innerhalb der Videos schön, wenn man ggf. noch nicht so fit ist. Die Workoutpläne sind jedoch toll, man muss nicht selbst welche auf YouTube raussuchen **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing this honest feedback. Your suggestions have been shared with the team. We are glad the workout plans and app layout have been a positive experience and hope to see these improvements come to life for you soon. ### 4/5 — Lots of great stuff but could be a bit better *2025-11-17, version 2.1.25* I enjoyed her videos on YouTube and decided to get the app! It’s been a week and I love it. Initially I had some issues with the app but the technical support team were fantastic and helped me work out the kinks! So far, I find the workout plans and the tracker very helpful. I wish the meal plan could make a meal plan for the week instead of just the day as I meal prep for the week! I haven’t tried out the progress tracker yet but I don’t know if I will use it! ### 2/5 — Before I buy - temporary rating *2025-10-26, version 2.1.17* Hi! I’ve been following your YouTube workouts for years now but I would really love to commit to the app and have a bit more structure. As a broke college student, I need a bit more exposure what I’d be getting once I have the app. I watched the video “tour” but it’s not much of a tour. I feel a screen recording with a voice over of the app itself would be way more helpful and persuasive in pushing me to make the purchase. If I pay, can I watch the workout videos from more than just my phone? What does the tracking look like/how does it work? What do the plan structures look like and their flexibility? I need a visual rather than a run down. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Great app but have to pay for a plan *2025-09-23, version 2.1.10* This app looks great but you have to pay for the plan to get the app ### 5/5 — Love the positivity!! *2025-08-22, version 2.1.10* I originally found Grow with Anna on YouTube and I loved all of the videos! Anna’s positive attitude and strength motivated me to get moving and I finally bought the app and I’m so glad I did! There are so many awesome workout plans which keep me on track and help me avoid debating forever over which video to do for my morning workout. The music is also great - I never thought I could work out from home because in the past I didn’t find home workouts challenging and I couldn’t stay motivated. I’ve been working out with Anna for the last year though and still going strong! Always challenged, motivated, and inspired! Thank you Anna! ### 5/5 — Anna is the BEST!! *2025-08-17, version 2.1.10* I found Anna on YouTube one day when I wasn’t feeling very motivated to work out. I did one random video and I’ve been hooked since then!! I’ve been inconsistent with working out for many years but after I found Anna’s YouTube videos I have been working out with her AT LEAST once a day for almost 2 months. The videos on YouTube are free, but after about a month I decided these workouts were worth something and I downloaded the paid app. I haven’t explored all the features of the app, but I love the workout tracking and the fact that I can cast to my TV or take it on the go. I love that she doesn’t talk at all during the workouts. Just the music (which is fantastic btw). I used another paid trainer app for a couple years on and off and the instructor talked a lot, as if she was talking to beginners the whole time. That’s great if you’re a beginner but I constantly found myself annoyed, thinking “just get to it already”. I definitely don’t want to be annoyed or have a negative mindset during my workouts. This app is a game changer for me! I’ll be finishing one of the 28 day challenges this week and starting her 75 hard challenge and I couldn’t be more excited!! ### 5/5 — Pros, cons, suggestions *2025-07-19* Pros: I love the simplicity of this app. I like that it offers various 30min programs. I love that you can pause your program to start a new one allowing you to go back and pick up where you left off. I love the stretching, recovery, yoga. Love the music option that allows me to set my own. Cons: I cannot handle all the jumping/high impact. I modify often. Additionally I don’t like the mix of 40min workouts with the 25-30min programs. Lastly, I think 20min abs/core is too long/intense and boring. I hope ab-day gets spread out into the other workouts and not set as its own workout day. Improvements: It would be nice if I could add workouts to my 3Xweek program, so that it’ll keep track of additional workouts, as apposed to right now only the 3 day workouts from the program are recorded. Also, there’s no history record for programs completed. Maybe a Trophy section can be added to the “Progress” section every time a program is completed. Lastly, moving forward I hope she adds warmups to ALL of the 25-30min workouts. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tbh want my money back *2026-01-31, version 2.1.25* Hey guys. You can’t charge people for a workout app that freezes every five minutes. I just got the app and it’s my second time using it and both times I’ve had technical issues. Please reach out to me to fix this or I will be escalating this issue. ### 1/5 — Major bug *2026-01-16* The app is stuck on the program page. It’s impossible to change it. I’ve closed it several times, still won’t work… **Developer response:** Hi there, we are so sorry to see this, we do hope you did get in contact with our support team and it is now working much better for you. ### 1/5 — Poor customer support *2025-11-30, version 2.1.25* Do not recommend, poor customer service who don’t get back to you at all. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — False advertising *2025-11-27, version 2.1.25* I bought this app because for Black Friday she claimed for $99 you get a lifetime access. I paid $99 and the app does NOT give full access. I can’t access the main app homepage, I can’t even see the meal plans and I can’t even see the full workouts. If you’re going to advertise a lifetime access for $99, you better commit to it. Don’t false advertise. ### 1/5 — Disappointed Cancelled Subscription *2025-05-14, version 2.1.0* Unfortunately the lack of guidance in the videos were extremely unhelpful. Additionally, it is so hard to follow a workout on a phone screen. We should be allowed to cast it on a TV. Would make it a lot easier and smoother to follow. Sadly this was a no for me. ### 1/5 — Not able to see the plan *2025-02-17, version 2.0.9* Keep showing technical problem on main page on iso app, on both iPad and iPhone ### 1/5 — Trying to sign up for app *2025-02-16, version 2.0.9* I’m trying to sign up for the app but the app keeps saying sorry there are technical difficulties even after refreshing the app. ### 1/5 — No free trial *2025-01-21, version 2.0.8* I don’t want to commit to pay for something without even being able to see the interface or what’s in the app. A video of you explaining what’s in the app isn’t enough … ### 1/5 — Impossible de diffuser les vidéos sur la tv *2024-12-27* Je regrette mon achat car application inutilisable sur mon iPhone **Developer response:** Hi there, we're really sorry to hear this. We'd love to see how we can resolve this - please contact our support team here: https://support.growwithanna.com/hc/en-gb ### 1/5 — Langue *2024-11-04* N’est pas en français ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Loving it *2026-08-24* I’m in love with the app, it’s so complete ### 5/5 — Moving My Body with Intention *2026-07-13, version 2.3.0* Started by following Anna’s YouTube videos and thought those workouts were great! Decided to give the app a go since there’s recipes along with a much bigger range of workouts! Feeling so strong after just 4-6 weeks, and I feel so good being on my feet for work, outings—anything! Love that just 20-45 minutes 4-5 times a week keeps me feeling like my best self 🥰 Thank you for this amazing app and these killer workouts! UPDATE: I’ve been using this app for almost 3 years now and while I can sometimes fall out of routine, when I’m ready to come back, workouts with Anna are all I can think about. I’ve been finding higher energy levels in the summer, and I love that I can choose to ease my way back in with beginner workouts, or go right into a killer workout! This app is so amazing—thank you Anna for creating a beautiful community where we can keep coming back to feel like our strongest selves 🤍 ### 5/5 — Best working app so far *2026-06-21, version 2.3.0* I subscribe for a year and decided I would switch app each year to keep things fresh. Try another one who is great but I just subscribe back to Grow with Anna about 8 months after. The workouts are easy to follow and quite challenging. Perfect for the gym or at home. The challenge are super fun too. I would also say that de price is really good for all that you’re getting. Totally recommend. ### 5/5 — I love this app!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ *2026-06-15, version 2.3.0* I love this app so much i discovered Anna on YouTube and absolutely loved all her stuff i soon after got her app and its great I am a vegetarian so the food ideas are great to I love how you can customize it and I like how you have the option to choose ur own music definitely worth it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Best gym app ever! *2026-06-10, version 2.3.0* I had been doing at home workouts for about a year before I found this app. Grow makes me feel strong, committed, and confident. These workouts are everything you need in a small amount of time. I have seen soooo much progress in the past 6 months of using this. I strongly think if you want to better your endurance or strength you should use grow. Love you Anna❤️ ### 5/5 — Feeling strong and motivated *2026-06-07, version 2.3.0* Started with Anna on u tube was drawn in. Love grow with Anna I had to have the App it is a game changer so much choice challenges health food made simple and easy to prepare. I would definitely recommend this App ❤️ ### 5/5 — Best workout app I’ve ever used *2026-04-20* Hands down the best workout app I’ve ever used. Incredible value for the money - and this app is really low priced compared to others, most of which aren’t as good. I’ve seen some serious results in just six weeks - these programs and the individual workout videos have transformed my home workouts. Plus the recipes are actually good! And I love making them for my kids too. My son is allergic to flour and he and my daughter are eating up the protein pancakes (made with oat flour). (Anna, have you considered adding a cookbook to your resume?) If you want to get strong, smash your goals, and improve your long term health, this app is 100% for you. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this incredible review and for sharing your journey! 😊 Serious results in six weeks, family approved recipes, and protein pancakes that even the kids love - that is everything we love to hear. Keep smashing those goals, you are amazing! 💪 ### 5/5 — Lovely 😙 *2026-04-13, version 2.1.25* I love all the workouts and programs in this app. All of the recipes i’ve tried so far are super easy and delicious. The app is also way more affordable than others that can be priced at £200/yr. ### 5/5 — Mit Anna sich sportlich zu bewegen ist der Hit *2026-04-11* Ich habe angefangen mit Grow with Anna vor gut 5 Jahren, vorher war ich im Fitnessstudio. Es macht mir unheimlich Spaß, weil ich gefordert werde und wenn einem mal nicht so ist, sucht man sich ein entspannteres und doch sportliches Video. Wie durch eine Fügung, habe ich das Einmalige Angebot : Einmal Zahlen, immer Zugriff auf die App, erhalten und zugeschlagen. Für mich perfekt. Die App funktioniert einwandfrei und auch auf dem IPad oder Computer. Dankeschön ### 5/5 — Helping me reach my goals *2026-04-04, version 2.1.25* This app is helping me reach my fitness goals through variation. It is easy to find a workout that suits my time and type needs. I live in an upstairs apartment and can’t make too much noise because I have to workout at 5am. There are plenty of “no jump” workouts that are still challenging. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
