Estão muito básicos. Copiem do Bevel. ### 3/5 — Heart Rate/HRV reading? *2026-04-04, version 15.3* The app used to show live heart rate with a connected monitor. I have a Polar H10 chest strap that I use with the app but it recently stopped working with the app. There’s no setting to connect to heart rate monitors in the app so I don’t know what to do to fix the issue. I’ve already deleted and reinstalled the app, repaired the chest strap, changed the settings in the polar app and nothing fixes the issue. I like my data synced up with my workouts. ### 5/5 — Workouts 🤘🏻🖤🤘🏻 *2026-03-28, version 15.2* Been using this with a Iwatch for 6-7 yrs without a single issue. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-03-14* Parabéns a equipe! Aplicativo bem completo, simples e muito prático. ### 5/5 — Best overall weight training app on the planet! *2026-03-04, version 15.2* I have downloaded at least 10 lifting apps in the past 3 years, and Gymaholic is by far the easiest to use, easiest to adjust to whatever type of program you’re running (Powerlifting, Bodybuilding, functional, etc). The premium features are way worth the price (which if you compare to Fitbit, Strava, Wahoo, Gymkeeper, GreySkull, or Stronglifts 5x5 it’s cheaper!!!). This app has a boatload of exercises pre-loaded, but if you want to add one that’s not on the list, it’s a piece of cake. You can even snap a picture of the exercise from the internet and add it to exercise description!!! I haven’t seen anything like it! You can adjust rest times on the fly, be notified when rest time is over, it’s fantastic! The augmented reality feature is wicked cool, because it will tell you when each muscle group is ready to rock again after self-adjusted or recommended rest days! I will never use another app! ### 5/5 — Simple tacking very practical love the new ai to create workouts *2025-12-18, version 15.1* Been using it for a while now, simple to use only the watch. They recently added ai to build workouts with weight apple ai or chargpt and works very well ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2025-12-09, version 15.0* I love this app. Sync to my watch easily. Easy to program my own workout Rest time notification works great Pulse and calories tracker is perfect All the aspects I need to intense productive workouts. Thanks Steve ### 5/5 — Once again my favorite app *2025-11-15, version 15.0* Loved this app before. Love it even more now with the “smart” or the ai addition. ### 3/5 — Useful app with flaws *2025-10-29, version 14.9* App is very useful and being able to log workouts on watch is handy. However, not easy to make changes to workout plans on the fly through the watch so you need to use the phone app to do so. Used to be that you could send workouts directly to the watch, which made updating workouts faster. Now they have to be synced to the cloud first — this is time consuming and slows me down. Please bring the sync to watch feature back ### 5/5 — Best Gym App out there *2025-10-18, version 14.9* This gym app is a total game changer! • The AI features are incredible—it imports your training program straight into the app from ChatGPT • Updates sync instantly between iPhone and Apple Watch for a seamless experience. • You can edit your workouts on either device mid-session, and everything stays perfectly updated. • The interface is clean, intuitive, and easy to navigate. • There’s an impressive library of exercises to build or customise your own workouts. • Excellent muscle group and weight tracking to monitor progress over time. • The developers genuinely listen and respond to feedback, which makes the experience even better. This app has completely streamlined my training routine. Highly recommended, have been using from when it first started up. Never needed anything else. ### 2/5 — “AI Buddy” *2025-10-07* The new “AI Buddy” feature launched in the latest release is essentially just a CustomGPT inside the ChatGPT app. Nowhere in the description—or within the app itself—is that made clear. If you’re using an enterprise ChatGPT account, you can’t access it at all. When I asked the developer, their solution was to create a separate ChatGPT Plus account. That would not only double my ChatGPT costs but also force me to switch between accounts every time I want to use AI Buddy. Is the concept interesting? Sure. But the execution is clunky and, frankly, a poor user experience. If you claim to add AI to your app, it should actually live within your app. At the very least, be transparent about the limitations of what’s being implemented. I’m not going to pay an extra $20 a month—bringing my total ChatGPT spend to $40—just to use a second app to talk to my workout app. Lastly, was the LLM (large language model) you chose properly vetted? Kids already interact with ChatGPT, sometimes with troubling results. Introducing it directly into a workout app for young users seems shortsighted at best. ### 4/5 — Great weight lifting app *2025-10-07, version 14.8* Been using for years! Easy to add exercises and track reps weights and rest. Please bring back hr on exercise history at bottom. ### 5/5 — Exceptional workout app *2025-07-25, version 14.3* I have been using this app for several years. I use it 5-6 days a week every week! It is very easy to use has a wide range of workouts and you can add you own into the app. I have some medical problems that require workout routines. I added custom workouts to those available in the app for a complete program. I can’t live without it. Thank you for this app. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-07-24, version 14.3* I appreciate developers who are active and always looking for ways to improve their apps. But if you need a plate calculator to tell you how much weights on the bar, you’re probably unsafe around free weights! Stick to machines, where you won’t hurt yourself or others! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2026-06-02, version 15.8* This app sucks now. It was really good until you had to pay an increasingly more expensive subscription for the “same great experience” or whatever. Now, you can’t update weight on super sets, I have to constantly restore purchases to get the premium exercises to show up, and of all things, I pay a subscription for this tripe. Excel will work just fine, and I don’t have to pay a subscription for it. ### 1/5 — great app… when it works *2026-06-01* every week i’m kicked out my account and can’t log back in. charged twice in the same month and still no reply from the developers. ### 1/5 — Apple watch *2026-05-22, version 15.8* Start to fail in apole watch, as i have a paid subscription it always shows exercises as a premium… ### 1/5 — Rapid Regression *2025-12-05, version 15.0* Been using this app for years and years but lately it’s unusable on iPhone 17 Pro and Apple Watch Ultra. I loaded the app on my new phone. Keeps asking me for my apple password to restore my purchase. Premium exercises wouldn’t show on my watch. I uninstalled to reset it and now I can’t even get the app to load on my watch. The subscription costs are not inexpensive relatively speaking… which I’m fine with. But the amount of bugs and issues over the last couple years have turned me off. Reinvest in your product, guys. ### 1/5 — Free version is mimimal *2025-07-17, version 14.2* Not enough in the free version ### 1/5 — Botão excluir série *2025-06-23* Há um botão + para adicionar séries ( sets) porém do lado direito não há um para diminuir -. Portanto se eu clicar acidentalmente no + preciso excluir o exercício e adicionar novamente? Brincadeira **Developer response:** You can delete a set using table gestures: swipe left on the row. ### 1/5 — Avoid *2025-06-09, version 12.8* I can’t add my own workout routine unless I buy a subscription? Seriously? That’s literally the main purpose of the app, isn’t it? Don’t recommend ### 1/5 — Cant restore subscription. *2025-05-26, version 12.6* App wouldn’t log my subscription with apple account. Cancelled subscription ### 1/5 — Língua *2025-04-28* Falte colocar em português **Developer response:** Hi there! Portuguese language support was introduced in the latest update. ### 1/5 — Last Update Trashed It *2025-01-28, version 11.7* This was a great workout tracker until the most recent update. I’ll probably still use it to plan and track strength training workouts, it’s pretty good at that, but as a workout tracker with data insights, it now stinks. Not every workout I do is through this app. One used to be able to log other workouts in it, along with kcal, duration, heart rate, etc. into the history of this app to ensure tracking stayed consistent and data was complete. Not anymore. Used to be great, I told a lot of people about it. Now I’m looking for something else that does what it did before the update. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Long time user *2026-08-07, version 16.4* Been using Gymaholic for a long time. I like it because it is easy to use and easy to make a custom exercise. I’m 79 I use this app 5-7 days per week. I made exercises for my arthritic hands which helps a lot. I have 10 different weight lifting programs I rotate through. I also have 7 different stretching routines I rotate through. Stretch one day lift weights tomorrow. I’m amazed how much better it is to exercise a lot helps with aches and pains, building strength while getting old. I love this app. ### 5/5 — Best gym app *2026-08-01, version 16.4* I tried many over the years and I always come back to this app. Extremely well built and though out. Work seamlessly with my Apple Watch. Converted many workout enthusiasts friends over the years. ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2026-06-29* Excelente para treinamento de força. Se tivesse mais exercícios na base de dados ficaria melhor ainda. ### 5/5 — J’adore ! *2026-06-12, version 16.1* Cet app est convivial, bien fait et pratique. Idéal comme journal d’entraînement. L’app ne cesse de s’améliorer. Un gros plus comme outil d’entraînement. Je recommande ! ### 5/5 — Great app, full featured. *2026-06-10, version 16.1* Been using it for years, very responsive developer. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-06-10, version 16.1* Have been using this for at least 6yrs now. Hasn’t failed me yet and always coming in with great upgrades. Reasonable price too. ### 5/5 — Bodybuilding *2026-06-03, version 15.9* Best workout app ever ### 5/5 — Simply The Best Workout App. *2026-05-19, version 15.7* 6+ Years ### 5/5 — Still the best! *2026-05-18, version 15.7* Had this app for years and often check out other apps to see if surely someone else has made something better or come up with a fancy new idea but nope, this one is still the best. It’s an excellent app that has everything you need. ### 5/5 — Best. *2026-05-14, version 15.6* Been using this app for years… Simply the best. I’ve never found anything comparable. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
