I would’ve thought that would’ve been fixed in the last release, but it was not. It’s quite hard to read in either light or dark mode the previous values. Additionally, it used to beep through my headphones or vibrate my watch when the round time it was over, but it no longer does that. Plus, it needs full watchOS integration as well as the ability to save meals to keep users from having to go back to previous days and copy forward. However, at this point, I’ll take bug fixes first. ### 4/5 — Great for training *2026-04-28, version 2.8.8* Great app that is used to monitor workouts and track food. The one thing I’d like to see in future versions is the connectivity to Apple health. ### 4/5 — I love this app *2026-04-01* It makes easy to track your progress, steps, water intake. Texting and communicating with your coach is absolutley easy .the only thing that’s is challenging sometimes is log in your food , you don’t always find what you eat so you have to create a new recipe but I use Cal AI app to take picture of my plate and with AI and the description of what I am eating it gives me my macros then I log my macros on kahunas creating a new recipe. Overall is a great app and it’s been helping me to progress better on my fitness journey. ### 3/5 — Client: The App is Getting There *2026-03-31, version 2.8.8* Currently a client and I love most of the features this app has and my ability to communicate with my coach all in one place. The best part is the Workouts section with all the videos and instructions for how to perform the exercises. The worst? The Nutrition section. As someone who has been using MyFitnessPal on and off for years, this section needs some work as the barcode scanner sucks. Most of my foods don’t come up when I scan them and manually entering foods is a real pain. Also, would love to see how many macros I have left up at the top so I don’t have to keep doing the math, as well as what foods are providing me with key nutrients like Fiber. Hoping this app continues to improve. ### 2/5 — App is buggy *2026-01-20, version 2.8.6* Sending clients there onboarding form does not work from the desktop. In app haven’t tried, had to manually re send to make it work. On top of that, the questionnaire should ask about the persons metrics, there is a gap in this app compared to trainerize which is more streamlined. I can appreciate the updates so far but it’s buggy, and not smooth. ### 2/5 — Definitely a step down from most of these apps *2026-01-14, version 2.8.6* Impossible to swap exercises in plans- try searching on name or tags- nothing comes up- really frustrating. Food tracking is poor- inconsistent calories/macros- MFP much better ### 2/5 — Feels feature incomplete *2025-12-30* The app is frustrating. It connects to HealthKit but doesn’t sync workouts or measurements like weight. Also if payment info fails, it locks you out and doesn’t let you update the payment info. Lastly, exercise swapping is completely broken and doesn’t load any options to swap exercises. ### 3/5 — Please link to MFP *2025-11-24, version 2.8.4* The workout part of the app is excellent but logging food/meals is tedious. Would love it to pull macros from My Fitness Pal through - please ❤️ ### 2/5 — Too many crashes *2025-11-12, version 2.8.4* Cool app with a lot of great features. Just crashes way too often. ### 2/5 — The glitches are unbearable *2025-11-04* The number of times I have to reach out to my coach to tell him the app is glitching AGAIN so he can reach out to the company is insane. There has to be a better solution out there…… ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2025-10-28, version 2.8.4* After new review app keeps crashing it’s almost useless crashing kid workout and doesn’t save previous food it’s pointless better off using my fitness pal or generic workout apps ### 1/5 — Dreadful *2025-10-26* My coach made me switch to using Kahunas and it’s genuinely awful. The food tracking capabilities pale in comparison to MyFitnessPal - it’s riddled with errors and the constant manual inputs are a nightmare. There is no way to visualise your weekly averages or look at trends. The workout tracking is okay, but it’s still very clunky and the way it records PBs is odd. I keep begging my coach to switch back to Trainerize. I could probably survive with this if they abandoned the in-app food tracking element and just integrated with MFP or another app that actually works. ### 4/5 — Good app *2025-10-23, version 2.8.4* Good app my coach uses it and I fill it in daily the weekly check in is good as well. ### 1/5 — WORST APP EVER *2025-09-11, version 2.8.2* They have the worst support in the world. It's impossible to talk to them. Every time I scheduled a meeting, hours before my meeting, they sent me an email saying I hadn't shown up. It's impossible to talk to them. They have the worst support in the world. It's super stressful, frustrating, not worth it at all!!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not the best *2026-06-20, version 2.8.8* It’s not made for clients, only trainers. This app has a real clunky user experience, is glitchy and buggy and generally quite hard to use. At times it makes no sense for the user and continuously logs me out. Swing a miss IMO. ### 1/5 — Still DIRE *2026-06-02, version 2.8.8* I use Kahunas with my coach and it’s my least favourite part of the service he provides. The nutrition information on food is constantly wrong and it’s a pain to update. The app glitches frequently, even when you’re on the newest version, so you get thrown out of workouts. It doesn’t sync with your Apple Health workouts, so you have to input cardio workouts manually, which is really cumbersome. The app would be improved exponentially if it integrated with MyFitnessPal - honestly, stop trying to emulate what they do, you just can’t replicate it, so admit defeat and integrate with them instead! Similarly, it can track my steps but not my workouts from Apple Health, which makes no sense! Give me a full workout calendar which includes the ones I log in Kahunas and the cardio ones I do elsewhere. I used to use Trainerize and these were basic, foundational functionalities that Kahunas lacks. As such, it’s a massive let-down. My coach tells me that the interface he has on Kahunas is amazing and so much better for doing weekly check-ins. I’m glad but that is not an experience that’s replicated as a client user. ### 1/5 — Glitchy/Laggy. Sub par UI *2026-05-29, version 2.8.8* Can be very glitchy at times when trying to load workout outs. Logs out randomly for no obvious reason. User interface looks like a student created it for high school project. Above is my previous review, Nothing changed. If I use this app every day, and every day I have to sign back in. Mid session? Random log out. Let’s create an app, and not do anything about bug fixes or user experience or even our feedback. People’s business rely on this, and this app is enough to stop business with the PT who uses it. Congrats you’ve costed your clients their customers. Do better. ### 1/5 — Terrible for end users *2026-02-21, version 2.8.6* Maybe this is a great app for coaches, but end users can find way better apps that let you edit your own program, and won’t rob you of your history if you stop seeing your coach. Avoid ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-02-09, version 2.8.6* I have cancelled my account 2 times as a coach after using the app and not liking it and I have been charged $100 then another $50 2 weeks apart. Have contacted them multiple times and no response. Would rate 0 out 5 stars ### 1/5 — Shocking waste of time *2026-02-02, version 2.8.6* By far the worst coaching platform available. On the surface it looks great, but there’s no MFP integration, the check-ins are dreadful and the UI just isn’t very good. Plus, despite not using this platform for the last two months, I am still being charged for it. ### 1/5 — Coaching made harder, not easier *2026-01-16, version 2.8.6* Kahuna is meant to be a coaching app for personal trainers, but it misses the basics. It connects to Apple Health yet does not read body weight, so the connection adds little value. If a client misses a scheduled workout, the session disappears and has to be added again manually, which makes managing clients harder than it should be. Trainers should think twice before relying on this app. If it cannot even read weight, how are you meant to properly help and track your clients? ### 1/5 — Glitch town. *2026-01-07, version 2.8.6* This app has SO MANY GLITCHES it’s actually frustrating. Not smooth in any way. I have been using it over a year (I need to for PT) but omg how has NOTHING improved? I don’t understand how it has updates but still has the same issue 🥀 every-time I need to submit a check in it’s like asking it to go all over the world and bring me gold. Sheesh. Honestly If I could rate it 0 I would. ### 1/5 — The glitches are unbearable *2025-12-09* The number of times I have to reach out to my coach to tell him the app is glitching AGAIN so he can reach out to the company is insane. There has to be a better solution out there……in case you’re wondering, it crashes and requires a redownload DAILY. Begging my coach to find ANY OTHER app. ### 1/5 — Awful app *2025-11-05, version 2.8.4* So many things wrong with that app. Wouldn’t let me make a new work out logged the error over 7 days to resolve! Now the widgets won’t come up. AVOID THIS APP ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My new favorite app! *2026-06-24* Easy to use and helps me stay motivated and consistent with my calorie intake. ### 5/5 — App is great *2026-03-31, version 2.8.8* Would be awesome if you could add a Hevy integration so you could copy workouts over from there. For example Hevy and strava do that ❤️ ### 5/5 — Great for training *2026-03-31, version 2.8.8* I’ll rate this for what I’m using it for. For training, really good! My coach sets everything, you get ghost values for the following week so if you increase you see everything before. It works well, notifications work and whilst the timer occasionally doesn’t work on one set it is fine on the next one. So far with the check ins, the fact it saves when you exit mid way and go back in, and the workouts it’s great for what I need. I use MacroFactor for food so I can’t comment on that. There are really nice little parts of this that I’m enjoying. Nice work, maybe I’ll try the food when my sub runs out ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2025-12-16* I absolutely love it! It’s very user friendly and allows me to have great communication with my coach! ### 5/5 — Worth it. *2025-10-08* Personally, I love this app. At first, I hated it. I was so used to trainerize & did not like how much time it took to program for clients in comparison.. however, it’s actually pretty flippin great. I’ve only experienced bugs every once in a while, & they haven’t been bad enough to jump ship. We started using this software in our gym & it’s honestly GREAT. It will take you some time to get accustomed to it, and I’ve seen reviews that were talking about how bad support is, but they really are not bad. They are good & thorough. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2025-10-08, version 2.8.2* This app is complete trash. I’ve lost clients because they all hate how clunky and slow the app is. Not to mention ugly. Do not use if you are an online coach! ### 5/5 — The Ultimate App for Coaches *2025-01-24* As a coach, Kahunas has completely transformed the way I run my business. Everything I need is in one place; client management, custom workout plans, habit tracking, progress photos comparison, and a verified nutrition database that my clients love. It’s intuitive, reliable, and saves me hours every week. ### 5/5 — Works great for me *2024-09-24* App has worked great for me, granted there are bugs and glitches once and a while. But I’ve tried multiple coaching apps and platforms, and this is the most user friendly one I’ve found so far. ### 5/5 — Coaching & Client *2024-07-07* I am a coach that uses this platform, I have used Google sheets and trainerize and I truly believe this is the best coaching & client platform. Very easy for clients to navigate and has a lot of personalization. There are always updates being made and have had 0 issues! Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — The Beat all in One *2024-07-07* They are always working on continuing and improving the software. This is the best all in one coaching platform I’ve ever come across in my 10 years of coaching. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
