### 2/5 — weak support

*2023-09-18*

I bought the pro version, but when I got a new phone it did not transfer. I've tried half dozen times to contact support to fix the issue and no one ever contacted me back. The support email on the app bounced! Then the app said I needed to pay an additional $1.99 to use the timer? The timer worked last week! Guess I'll have to download a new app, this one is unsupported junk.

### 1/5 — Why would I pay for the pro version ?

*2023-02-17, version 2.27*

Throughout the time I’ve used this app there have been enough bugs to fill a rainforest! Functions like iOS 1 app. Work outs are constantly duplicating so it looks like I do 2 workouts a day. They don’t provide a cloud service, so if you migrate to a new phone and don’t have the original phone to copy from
All of your progress is gone. Can’t see previous work out without going out of your workout screen and going back to previous work outs. Poor interface and new issues regularly.

**Developer response:** Hey, thanks a lot for your review! A cardio feature is on the way to support time based exercises and runs etc. Until then there are a few ways to input those activities with this version of the app. Please contact our support and we'l let you know how.
Sorry to hear about the bugs! Would be great if you could report them to our support team at hello@gymheroapp.com. We are always trying hard to fix them as fast as possible! Thanks a lot!

### 4/5 — Help?

*2022-10-15, version 2.27*

Is this app even supported anymore? Trying to buy some of the plans from the app and it won’t allow me. Also, anytime I try and download the pro app it says not available in my country.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-11-19, version 2.27*

Not sure how long this app has been around but I feel like I’ve been using it at least 8 years? Only app I use. A couple of bugs here and there, but it’s been my best gym friend for a long time.

### 4/5 — Pretty good app for tracking.

*2021-06-16, version 2.27*

Great app, but one question. Is there anyway to select multiple muscle groups worked. Example: 

Chest, shoulders , and back. 
Chest, triceps. 

Really that’s my only complaint. 
The inability to track complex workouts.

### 5/5 — Gym Hero is an Outstanding Application

*2021-04-29, version 2.27*

For the serious lifter committed to tracking their progress, Gym Hero is the application for you!

Thank you, Gym Hero!
Tom Teesdale

### 1/5 — Scam

*2020-12-04, version 2.27*

Bought this app few years ago and not it’s not working or even updating. Be careful folks!

### 1/5 — Abandoned app

*2020-11-14*
