I have enjoyed the app. I like that the workouts vary and focus on different body areas and provide the needed challenges. There are some glitches though that are frustrating. Even when you enter the data for each exercise, it doesn’t always record. At the end of the week, it has you do a summary but you can’t see the info previously entered. At the end of the first session (67), I just had to start over. There wasn’t a Home DB 2 to go to next ### 4/5 — Home DB Workouts *2026-05-17, version 4.2.7 (2)* I have been using the app for about 4 months.

The app encourages you to do “supersets” but it makes it difficult to flip between muscle groups and when you do it messes up the end tally’s unless you go back and restart the workout. The superset counter also doesn’t have 0 as an option. The difficulty slider for the workout is just broken, it does not slide well and should be replaced with something else. The weights aren’t auto-entered from the last workout so it is tedious to go back and check. Use the printout instead. The videos in the workouts are very helpful and probably the best part of this app. ### 2/5 — Too many bugs! *2025-05-15, version 4.2.1* I want to love this. The workout stats do not propagate properly. The “previous best reps” rarely shows but I know I’ve performed the exercise before. Also, the reps do not transfer to the summary page. I have been able to complete all workouts (so far) and have not had issues with the app crashing, but it does not look promising. This is unfortunate as I loved using the home journal (even though I found errors in that too). ### 2/5 — Was great until it stopped working after 3 days *2025-05-06, version 4.2.1* Can’t enter information anymore, the app just crashes ### 3/5 — More *2024-11-21, version 4.1.8* Needs a next button. When you complete a field, hit next to get to the next field. ### 2/5 — Not connected to the Phoenix system they sell *2024-09-15, version 4.1.8* I recently bought one of the work out journals including the whole Phoenix system which they advertise as lifelong access to the work outs. I figured that I would also get the app not realizing I have to pay to use the app even though I just paid to get lifetime access to the workouts online. They are not connected- which is super odd to me and also an extra money grab in my opinion. ### 2/5 — App formatting *2024-09-11, version 4.1.8* When responding to some of the thought provoking questions, it doesn’t allow you to see what you are typing. ### 3/5 — Great while it worked *2024-08-31, version 4.1.7* I was using the gym program and enjoying it until I got to workout #34. The app would not mark it as completed which prevented me from moving forward. Support said they were aware of an issue. Now I’m stalled and can no longer find my copy of the printed book. :( ### 4/5 — Good but *2024-08-13, version 4.1.6* Really enjoying the app, the workouts are easy to follow along and progressively challenging. However the app is very buggy and shuts down often. I’m currently stuck as it won’t let me finish todays workout without crashing and it won’t let me move forward until it’s marked finished. ### 2/5 — WAS great but now… worthless *2024-05-04, version 4.1.1* Three times I’ve entered my workout for the day, but it keeps getting deleted and since the app won’t let you move to the next workout it keeps giving me the SAME workout that I’ve already done! Also thank you to the person who said that now the data on your past workout is gone — that’s a major problem! I hadn’t noticed it because I’m having so many other issues with the app after the update. However, to be fair, they did fix the music issue, which is why I gave it two stars instead of one. So to be clear, the issues are as follows: 1. Won’t hold data for workout. 2. No longer keeps track of previous weight/reps performed. For progress THAT’S a necessity!! 3. Stop with the babysitting of users — if I want to bypass a day or god forbid the data disappears from the previous workout, I NEED to bypass a day, let me! If they don’t fix the other issues mentioned above it’s worthless & I want my money back. Too bad, it was great before they “updated” it to improve it. As the old saying goes, “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!” ### 1/5 — New Update Fails *2024-04-25, version 4.0.3* I can not see my previous weights lifted and reps completed on exercises. ### 2/5 — Where’s my data!? *2024-04-24, version 4.0.3* Like the new update, but you got rid of my data. When doing a workout, before the update it showed my last personal best on each rep. It’s not there anymore! This allowed my to track my last weighted rep and I can increase from there. I can’t even look at past workouts to see the weight. Love the app, but this is a critical important feature that you got rid of. WHY!?!?!?!?! Fix it! ### 1/5 — New release is awful! *2024-04-22, version 4.0.1* There is nothing intuitive about the navigation. Ugh! ### 3/5 — Get rid of the locks if someone purchases the year *2024-03-28, version 3.0.11* Giving 3 stars until the locks are removed from the weight lifting part since I purchased the year. Hard to align the days of the week with the work out if you want to start on a Thursday instead of a Monday. Should have to scrub through a he locked ones to get to the others. The journals aren’t that way so why make this app with locks? Doesn’t make sense. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DO NOT MAKE A PURCHASE *2026-03-17, version 4.2.6* I purchased from this company in 2022. I wasn’t thrilled with the product so never re-purchased. And have never re engaged with the company. Fast forward to January 2025 and they charged my credit card $50. I have tried to reach the company to find out what the charge is for. There is no customer service on their website or the app. I finally had to go through my credit card company and cancel my card. Next step the BBB. ### 1/5 — Just use AI *2025-11-18, version 4.2.3* This app was solid prior to whatever “fixes” where made. Now it won’t save workouts, can’t move to a new day of workouts, and the colors hide certain options. I found that AI creates a similar plan and I just use Apple notes to track the workouts and then upload it to AI for a new plan. I’m done with habit nest. And I was paying $4.99 a month!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Phoenix Opossum & Login nonsense *2025-08-18* The logins between the App, the Site, and the Vault are really bad! People, there is a thing called "single sign-on". Please, fix all the login issues. Then, I bought a Phoenix, but I can't use it!!! Why? Because features like the accountability partners (reason why I bought it) require that you "check in" every day. But... you can't check it IF you don't buy an additional subscription to the App! This is a scam / bad practice! I am going to ask for a refund of this Phoenix (aka Opossum!). Please reach out for the details because my list of issues is too long. The books are really nice but the "no paper" experience is awful and the tricky sales of the Phoenix I bad. Don't buy it, if you don't want to buy an extra $$$ subscription! ### 1/5 — Immediately No *2025-05-14, version 4.2.1* I didn’t even get through the account creation process without noticing that the app wasn’t actually filing in my responses. Instead in auto-selected [health and fitness] and [life getting in the way] no matter what I chose. I’m not going to give any more information to a paid app that stumbles at first hurdle. Big red flag ### 1/5 — Stopped working after 3 days *2025-04-30, version 4.2.1* Really wanted to love the preset workout habit but after completing the third workout the app wouldn’t accept the information and doesn’t allow you to move on with the habit. So after just 3 days it became useless. ### 1/5 — Nothing *2025-04-29, version 4.2.1* I add a habit. Press start & then nothing. ☹️ ### 1/5 — Wanted to love this app *2025-04-09, version 4.2.1* I had the original gym workout book and loved it. Thought it more convenient to get app and I was excited for it. Something told me to just try a month subscription first. I’m glad I did instead of buying year. At day 3 it’s stopped allowing me to track. Telling me I needed to complete which I did several times. I went in a different way to do day 4 and then would only let me read info and preview. It wouldn’t take any tracking. I reached out twice to support on this because I really want to use app and have yet to hear anything. I ended up taking app off to redownload to see if that helps. Problem is can’t remember password and had to reset. Waiting on 2 hours for reset of password with no response. Very disappointed with this experience. ### 1/5 — Habit Nest *2025-03-27, version 4.2.1* App keeps crashing ### 1/5 — The buttons in the app aren’t working *2025-01-24, version 4.2.1* I am trying to use the app today for the first time. The next and continue buttons do nothing. ### 1/5 — Love that app *2024-04-26, version 4.0.4* Love that app but since update app version mess up my stats and not able to log anything. I kept sent them message. No respond. They kept said update which I did clicked it but no change. New version mess up. While I can able log first workout but not part 2. Like for example chest day which I can log but there is no log for biceps part? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great companion to the books. *2024-08-18, version 4.1.7* I love having the app open while I’m also following along on the book. Sometimes I need to glance at the phone for a clearer view of the poses. - A few bugs in the app: - I don’t have the little “i” in the top left of each pose to go to a detailed description as it says I should. - the calendar overview does not correctly reflect all my checkins. - at the bottom of some pages where you wrote things in you cannot close the keyboard to progress to the “complete” button. I’ve had to hit the back button at the top of page and go forward again. Overall pleased with the app and system. I do hope they fix the calendar view. ### 5/5 — It’s terrible *2024-08-02, version 4.1.6* I started my dumbbell home workout journey in May 2024. I don’t have to worry about to pay 150 or more for personal trainer. It’s changing my life. I noticed that my past workout sessions and shrinks were completely gone. I don’t know if someone is hack this my workout session. I deleted and reset this app for couple times. I have to starting over from the beginning to the end. I love the personal workouts book. I’m planning to purchase other workout journal but I will delete this app right after I will complete my dumbbell challenge in 65 days. The owner needs to fix this app and stop allow them hackers to stealing my workouts session and shrinks. ### 5/5 — Transformative Fitness Companion! *2024-03-11, version 3.0.11* The “HabitNest Weightlifting Transformation Journal” has been my go-to companion on this fitness journey, and it has truly transformed the way I approach my workouts and overall well-being. The structured format of the journal makes it easy to document each weightlifting session, helping me track progress, set goals, and celebrate achievements.

Not only do you learn a lot, you also develop strategies and have human support! Glad I found this app! ### 5/5 — Day one *2023-08-17, version 3.0.9* Hard to say one could write a “review” on day one but here goes: the App is easy to use, makes one really think about why you wish to do something(purpose), and has already made me prepare for tomorrow in my mindset. I am looking forward to seeing my follow through results ### 5/5 — Amazing app!! Next update will be legendary! *2022-09-21, version 2.0.23* I’ve been using the app for 5+ weeks and loving it!

All rolled up in one 😊👍 ### 5/5 — Accountability *2021-12-22, version 2.0.13* I have used the habitnest journals for quite some time and I love them and was so excited when I heard that they were going to create an app. I purchased it and I’m happy that I did because with the app it has a Reminders to help me with accountability. I love their learning experience and the prompts that helps guide me through my journaling and keeps me in touch with where I have weaknesses ### 5/5 — Amazing woooooooooooooooo *2021-12-21, version 2.0.13* This is a great help --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
