É uma ótima ideia pra se manter ativo no dia a dia e da um gás bom para aqueles dias de desânimo. A interface é bem intuitiva porém um ponto a ser melhorado é sua integração com acessórios inteligentes, como o smartwatch. ### 4/5 — Notificação não funciona *2026-06-03* Eu amo, mas de uns 2 meses pra cá não chega notificação! Já fiz de tudo, desinstalei, ativei, desativei, fiz tudo e mais um pouco. Tenho o ip 17 pro max ### 5/5 — Ótimo app *2026-05-28* Deveria ter opção de compartilhar uma música no check-in. ### 5/5 — Bom *2026-05-27* Bom ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2026-05-21* Amei ### 5/5 — Recomendo *2026-05-14* Excelente app ### 5/5 — Bacana *2026-05-09* Gostei ### 2/5 — Annoying to use *2026-02-23, version 2026.2.14* When selecting a date and time for a check-in, I need to set the time twice, and the time selector collides with the built-in iOS function that moves the content of the screen up and down, so it keeps closing on me. Also, instead of a check-out time, I need to calculate for how long my training was and enter it in hours and minutes. It’s really tiresome. ### 5/5 — Best workout app *2025-12-28, version 2025.12.20* I have used several workout apps for challenges with friends. This is the best by far—for challenges and variety of challenges, teams, groups, posting of pics, and msgs between our group members. Gymrats allows privacy for just your group, not requiring it to be open to all. I purchased GymRats Pro for additional features and very happy with price and features. Recommend this app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cancelamento de inscrição *2026-08-17* Não consigo tirar a minha inscrição ### 1/5 — Estou postando TUDO e o Gym não contabilizou NADA! *2026-06-05* Chega dar ansiedade 🤡 ### 1/5 — App ruim *2026-05-22* Acabei de baixar pela primeira vez 22/05/2026 e já desinstalei. Entro no app e quando clico em mais para olhar outros desafios ele fecha sozinho o aplicativo, já tentei umas 10x! Eu ein, melhorem… ### 1/5 — Cant upload pictures *2026-05-11* It bugs whenever I try to post my check ins, so frustrating ### 1/5 — Bugado *2026-05-07* O aplicativo fecha todo momento. ### 1/5 — Benefícios? *2026-05-07* A conta paga é ridícula. Um absurdo cobrar para esses “”benefícios””. Não tem vantagem alguma, as pessoas pagam apenas para poder participar de mais grupos ao mesmo tempo. Assim como é um absurdo permitir apenas 2 na conta gratuita e cobrar para participar de mais. Se ao menos tivesse algum benefício verdadeiro, algo relacionado ao treino, como o HEVY, por exemplo que, registra as fichas de treino, ou até disponibilizar treinos mesmo. Melhorem, porque já estão surgindo outros apps que cumprem o mesmo papel e até agora nenhuma evolução por aqui. Pensem em algo que realmente faça sentido cobrar ou parem de cobrar pelo básico. ### 1/5 — Poor support *2026-04-28, version 2026.2.22* Apple health is turned on in settings as per their not though helpful help guides, yet my workouts will not auto sync. The issue is GymRats as the workouts show as options to import from device when I manually as a check in. I can’t contact their support as they only offer Messenger or Instagram. Apparently in 2026 email is dead and we all need to haul Zuckerberg. ### 1/5 — Extremely disappointed *2026-02-04, version 2026.1.2* This app only tracks your workout if you manually open it, which is ridiculous for something that’s supposed to run automatically. I was in a 30-day challenge with money on the line, and I was winning the entire time. On the very last day, I forgot to open the app, even though I DID the workout and surprise: it wasn’t counted. I “lost” the challenge and lost actual money, despite having completed everything. This isn’t just frustrating, it’s unfair. An app that costs money and promotes challenges should not punish users for something so small, especially when there’s proof the workout was done. If you’re joining challenges, be warned: one forgotten tap can cost you the win. Do better. ### 1/5 — Unusable app *2025-11-17, version 2025.10.4* I spent an hour trying to create a profile and log into the app. Couldn’t get it done. I put in my name and email address. It loaded a password for me that I went in and had to try and change. I successfully set a password, but the app would not allow me to view any data. Create any profile particulars or find any groups that I wanted to join. I’m done with this mental exercise. ### 1/5 — não funciona *2025-03-21* não da pra registrar checkin, carrega mas não conclui ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — nice app *2026-08-14* really nice app to use with friends ### 5/5 — . *2026-08-12* Amo esse aplicativo 🤎 ### 5/5 — Muito legal *2026-08-11* Ótimo ### 5/5 — Fotos *2026-08-03* Aplicativo muito bom mas é mt chato só poder colocar uma foto na atividade ### 5/5 — Excelente app *2026-08-03* Incentiva bastante a prática diária ### 5/5 — Yass loves Gymrats *2026-07-04, version 2026.2.22* This app is really amazing. I mean that with no glaze. My friend Nick who is a 4th company representative really loves this app to death, and I don’t know where I would be without him and his love for this app. Go Gymrats🤙 ### 5/5 — Muito legal *2026-06-10* Top ### 5/5 — App TOP *2026-06-08* Muito Bom o App para usar em Grupo de Amigos 🤩🥳 ### 5/5 — Gym *2026-05-28, version 2026.2.22* Ótimo ### 5/5 — Top *2026-05-28* Legal --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
