I can’t find my gym or anyone in my area. Hope this gets resolved. ### 1/5 — This app won’t do anything! *2023-08-17* I can’t get past the sign up process. It says it sent a code to my phone number but nothing. How is this app in the Apple App Store? ### 1/5 — Can’t sign up! *2023-07-27* I’ve tried to sign up 4 times. The app won’t send me a text. The number is correct, the country is too. Seemed like a good app but I can’t even try it to give it a good review. ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-02-21* I live in a large city and the nearest user is 45 miles away. There are no gyms in my area using either. I tried to delete my account and a repeated error occurs so I have an account on an app I can’t use for no reason. I contacted the developer for advice and received no response. Don’t bother with this app. ### 5/5 — GymBuddy *2021-10-06* This is like the Facebook of the fitness world. Great app and so easy to use. Plenty of helpful advice if you want to train properly and get the right nutrition in your diet. ### 5/5 — REALLY LIKING THIS APP AND LOCKDOWN2 CHALLENGE *2020-11-08* Loving this app. Social specific fitness network. Now you can track runs too. Find a GYMBUDDY, gym or PT or a class. Great idea, keep up the fab work. ### 5/5 — How was this not a thing before?! *2020-09-22* Absolutely love this app especially with the new feature where I can track my run. I’ve found it really easy to use especially when I’m on the go, working away a lot I now have no reason to be lazy as I can always find a gym where I am. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2020-08-25* Enjoyed using different gyms before Covid started, hopefully they all open back up so I can start using them through the app again as it suits me having the flexibility to go to different ones. ### 4/5 — Great idea *2020-07-27* I love this specific social network. I do find that the app crashes sometimes on certain pages but nothing that can’t be worked on. Keep it up! **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, were working hard to keep the gyms happy with updating features members ask fo,r so were kind of live testing at the moment. we'll keep it up and thanks for the 4 stars 👍 ### 1/5 — Not there yet... *2020-07-24* I think this platform still needs time... they have to work hard on so many bugs and improve their ux! I had a hard time signing up and then when I tried location search it crashed. Not the best first impression but I logged back in and tried again and guess what? It crashed again. I know you probably are a startup and working hard to improve your service but you can not retain users on the app if after 1min they experience a crash. I’m probably not going to use it again unless someone told me you have made progress and the app is useable. Best of luck Gymbuddy **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, you're right we are a start up and we will continue to keep evolving, we've had to change pretty much the whole business as covid hit so we didn't waste all the time and money we've put in. Im sure well see you again as we are just ironing out some of the crashes you've faced and we have some good features coming up too 😊 ## Frequently asked questions about GymBuddy ### What does GymBuddy do?
