Nothing has been updated for years. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2018-04-30* To me, I didn’t like the process you had to go through to set up workouts. You input your profile and it outputs a workout. Building customized workouts is a bit clunky. The video presentation is not that good either. Video plays one time and you get a verbal description but if you want to view video again you have to X out and start over again. Also there must not be any industry type uniformity in kettlebell exercise names because this app exercise names are not what I’m accustomed to seeing. I think there are better apps out there. I deleted this one. ### 4/5 — Different but that's okay *2016-02-10, version 2.0* I am enjoying the newness of this update. I'm sure the other reviews will bring on refinements, but I found this version refreshing and challenging. ### 2/5 — Change it back *2016-02-09, version 2.0* Like others, I used this app religiously two to three times a week, usually 45 minutes. Great workout. Now it stinks. I'm surprised they changed things so dramatically without the option to have both. I'll have to go elsewhere if not fixed. ### 2/5 — Change coming per developers *2016-02-03, version 2.0* I emailed the developers about putting the old system back in - they responded and are in the process of "adding something similar" apparently. I recommend setting the intensity to the maximum amount, which increases each rep to 17 seconds as opposed to 10. ### 1/5 — Not worth the price *2016-01-31, version 2.0* The video is clunky, the exercises aren’t adequately explained, there’s too much downtime between exercises. It bored me. Not worth the price. ### 1/5 — Update terrible, changed for the worse *2016-01-31, version 2.0* The new update is a huge disappointment - it completely changed the kettlebell workouts from a high-intensity weight-training workout, to a fast-switching cardio workout. This is not what I paid for. I have no intention of ever using the current iteration of this app, and highly recommend that the developer either rolls back this update, because it's costing them users. ### 1/5 — Terrible Update Squared *2016-01-31, version 2.0* I never write updates...this is my first. I loved the old app. It allowed me to get in a 45 minute+ workout, burn calories, and get tired. Lolo has enough apps for the HITT methodology. The old version of this app was a good old school Rocky Balboa workout...now it is gone. Please bring it back. ### 1/5 — Update ruined app *2016-01-30, version 2.0* The new update turned the app into a tabata workout with each exercise only lasting about 10 seconds. This completely ruined the app for me. I loved the app the way it was. I will be asking for a refund as I will never use this app again. ### 1/5 — Ruined *2016-01-30, version 2.0* What have you done to this app???. I used the old version for 45 minute workouts three times a week. Now it does every exercise for only 12 seconds a time, and unless I up the rest time the longest I can workout for is 26 minutes. Will be deleting and replacing with another app which used to be inferior ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No go *2018-03-23* It’s not as advertised. ### 1/5 — Registration Required *2017-05-10* App is literally unusable without creating an online user account. I shouldn't be forced to do this in order to use the app. It asks for access to health data, that should be sufficient for tracking workouts. Why do I need to create a "cloud" account? Probably to spam me for their other apps, or worse, send inane little progress badges and kudos. No thanks. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Requires registration *2016-06-12* Can't use without registering/providing email address, so I never got to actually try the app; I deleted it. I really despise apps that do this, especially ones you have to pay for. Providing personal info should be optional in my opinion. If it's not then it should be clearly stated in the app description that it's required to use the app. ### 1/5 — Worst update ever *2016-02-12, version 2.0* This used to be my favorite weight-training app, until the most recent update made it completely unbearable. I'm a huge fan of lolo products, but this is the absolute worst. I don't plan on ever using it again. ### 1/5 — From Amazing to Junk *2016-02-08, version 2.0* I loved this app BEFORE the calamitous update. The new update renders this app useless. The sets are too short, the FIT programs are gone and the whole feel of the app is ruined. The old version of the app was perfect. I'm now searching for a suitable replacement, but nothing measures up to the old version. PLEASE bring back the old version. PLEASE!! ### 1/5 — Sadly disappointed *2016-02-05, version 2.0* I lost 50lbs using this app, it was amazing....key word being was....they ruined it with the new update!!😖😫😩 ### 1/5 — Update Renders App Unuseable *2016-02-03, version 2.0* This app used to be amazing. Easy to use, great pace to workouts, and plenty of variety to keep me interested. This new update is the worst. It has none of the usability of its previous version and doesn't make sense. It's useless to me. CHANGE IT BACK! ### 1/5 — Update Ruined a Great App *2016-02-01, version 2.0* Prior to the update, this was great. 15 minute tough workouts. Now it claims to be a Tabata workout, but the timing is all wrong. Workout too short, rest too long. The developer should fix that, and fold this into the prior program. Then, it would be 5 Star awesomeness ### 1/5 — What the hell? *2016-02-01, version 2.0* I bought the kettle bell workout app last week and was super excited after my first workout, finding a weight training routine that was slow and steady and felt like I was really getting the type of workout I was looking for. After the update it's turned into exactly what I DIDN'T want - I'm not into HIIT. Can't we at least have both options? I want my money back because this is NOT what I purchased. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2016-01-31, version 2.0* Why not just add the tabata option to the existing app? The other, longer, programs were good in their own right and should have been kept - 10 seconds per exercise is pointless for things like Turkish Get Ups. Is it possible to roll back to the old version? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My go-to app *2019-11-22* Gotta try this app, it’s the best, so easy to understand and follow & so dynamic with all the exercise variations. This app has exercise using 2 kettlebells most don’t. ### 5/5 — Apple Tv app *2018-03-11* Awesome best apps available! I wish they made an Apple TV apps version to view on big screen. ### 5/5 — My favorite fitness app *2017-06-26* Best money I ever spent. Seems to keep getting better. I still use the old routines. Developer has always responded to my requests. I need to pause frequently for my heart rate to recover to a reasonable level before starting the next exercise. I would like for the app to wait for my heart rate to drop to a user defined level before continuing thereby creating cardio intervals. I still would give it 6 stars if I could. ### 5/5 — Best app I've ever paid money for *2017-03-07* This is like a $4 personal trainer. So great! Use it almost every day. ### 5/5 — The King is back!! *2016-10-23* I love this app! The exercises and timing are perfect to get a great workout in a small amount of time. Pros: The narration is purposeful and not repetitive. The variety of workouts keeps my body guessing and therefore growing. After a session I feel wonderfully exhausted. Cons: The in app music is unnecessary. ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-05-21* Another solid product ### 5/5 — Kettlebell app *2016-04-12, version 2.1* I absolutely love this app I like the way I get time between exercises to move to the next position. I feel like I am in my own private class. Instructions are clear and easy to understand. I would love to see an app for boxing along the same lines as this Kettlebell app. Keep up the good work guys. ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-04-03, version 2.1* Love this app. Thanks for putting the old workouts back. ### 5/5 — Hurray *2016-02-22* They restored the old workout times! This is now my favorite workout app again. (Also, I contacted the developer and they were really quick at replying.) ### 5/5 — Old workouts have been restored *2016-02-17, version 2.1* Glad to see they listened to the comments and have brought back the original workouts in this version. The new format hasn't quite grown on me yet. Really great app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
