This last update, however, made the screen TINY. I use an iPad Pro and the screen is now so small it’s hard to see the video details. Before it was off center, but filled most of the screen. Anyway to get it to fill the screen completely? Or even play in the horizontal position? ### 5/5 — Useful functional training! *2026-08-27, version 4.11.1* I’ve tried a few workout apps in the past. Ladder is my favorite so far. If you want something to mix up your gym routine, this one’s for you. Chose Team Vantage for a training plan. The app is easy to navigate, also shows video examples. I like the training log to see your progress. You can also go back to an exercise history to see prior weights if you’re unsure. Overall, such great training app. ### 5/5 — So many options *2026-08-27, version 4.11.1* I love that you have so many options to chose from and they are all quality workouts. The nutrition chat is great too. ### 5/5 — Life Changing *2026-08-27, version 4.11.1* I never thought I’d be one of those people who claims an app changed their life but here I am. I have never felt better or stronger and have not been able to maintain consistency like this since I was in my 20s. I don’t know why it works but it works! ### 4/5 — Apple Watch sync issues *2026-08-27, version 4.11.1* Prior to every workout, I have to spend some time to ensure my watch syncs. It can get a bit annoying. ### 5/5 — LOVE love love *2026-08-27* Shelby’s team is amazing - Ive been following her plan for 2 years and have seen amazing results. The app itself is so easy to follow. Would highly recommend. I actually do to everyone I chat fitness with! It’s like a pocket personal trainer. ### 4/5 — Great Workouts *2026-08-27, version 4.11.1* The workouts are all very manageable time wise, which makes it easier to commit & less likely to skip, especially as a working mom of 4 (ages 18m-17). The workouts are fun, diverse & go by really quick! Four stars as I’d like their to be more guidance on where you should feel some of the moves (to help make sure you’re doing them right), a visual aid in the corner of the screen would be nice. ### 4/5 — Never bored *2026-08-27, version 4.11.1* I love that you can choose which coach fits you best and how easy it is to switch around. This app has so much to offer from team chats, cheers, journal, swaps and the list goes on. It does take time to learn how to navigate around , I admit I was frustrated at first but once I figured things out I was off and running. The best thing in my opinion is that there are options for in gym or at home with limited equipment and still get a full body workout. ### 5/5 — I wish I started sooner *2026-08-26, version 4.11.1* I’ve never been so consistent with workouts and I’ve already seen improvements. ### 5/5 — Finally able to follow a plan! *2026-08-26* I've been using this app consistently for 8 weeks now and I haven't missed a week. It's so motivating, encouraging and just so easy to follow! I'm on coach define and have tried a few other teams, but I find define the most challenging for me and aswell it's a workout style that I like! I can't recommend this app enough, I tell my friends, my family, my dog, my cat 😂everyone should try it out! I should mention with a good healthy meal plan and training 4 days a week I have lost 12.5 lbs in 8 weeks. It's $29.99 to have a trainer talk you through workouts while showing you how- what more can you want? ### 5/5 — Great fitness app *2026-08-26, version 4.11.1* Amazing work with all of the coaches 💪🏼 ### 5/5 — Life changing! *2026-08-26, version 4.11.1* This app is phenomenal. I love the teams aspect, how a community near & far comes along to cheer you on & the workouts are amazing. If you stick with it you are guaranteed to get stronger! ### 5/5 — The best fitness app *2026-08-26, version 4.11.1* I’ve tried 10+ apps as I do all my workouts from home and ladder is by far the best app I’ve ever used. In fact the trainers are better than any PT I’ve ever had in my previous gym days! It’s addictive which means I’m super consistent. ### 5/5 — Team Movewell is Amazing *2026-08-26, version 4.11.1* I randomly tried this app after following one of the coaches on instagram- so glad I took a chance! It has gotten me back in a routine of working out and focused on movement. I love how this app is easy to use and takes the thinking out of planning my workout!!! ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2026-08-26, version 4.11.1* Highly recommended to all my shy gym girl!! ### 5/5 — Honestly, the best! *2026-08-26, version 4.11.1* This app has been great! You get to work with an actual trainer, you don’t have to guess about what you’re doing, you have a huge support system. I just absolutely love it! And I didn’t even mention the fact that you can switch trainers, you can see what they’re about and what their focus is before you even select them… I mean it’s just great. You can do stuff at home or the gym. You can track your nutrition and your water. You can even customize what you want to track. There’s more I’m exploring within this app and I’m loving everything I find. I just don’t have anything else to say, but this app is definitely worth giving an honest try. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-26, version 4.11.1* Great app! Structured and actually works! ### 5/5 — Best Fitness App! *2026-08-26* This is the best fitness app around! So easy to search a large number of teams, find your coach to match your goals and training style and get started. For a busy dad with a mind full of things to do each day, Ladder makes it easy to carve 1 hour hit play and just keep up with my coach each exercise as it comes. Fun challenges, badges to collect and cheers from your peers. Thanks for helping me get back to loving fitness again. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-08-26, version 4.11.1* I never review apps, but this app has changed my life and mindset. The coaches are diverse and it’s easy to find your right fit. ### 4/5 — Great app. good variety *2026-08-26, version 4.11.1* I have been using for a few months now. Enjoy the app and if u catch a good price for a year it is much better than month to month. I like the 6 week seasons and the 2 week deloads so you can try different coaches between seasons. I do wish they had some fuidance for incorporating indoor bikes as cardio options. most seem to use running /walking ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great app *2026-08-21, version 4.11.0* I already rated it 5 stars 20 times. Stop asking for ratings ffs. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2026-08-14, version 4.11.0* I spent more time trying to figure out this app than I did using it to work out. I couldn’t figure out how to even ask for help or file for a complaint. The help and support button does nothing but bring up a AI coach who does not respond to technical support issues. I couldn’t even find basic stuff like how do I do the workout that I just did. It was a very frustrating experience. ### 1/5 — The app SUCKS *2026-08-14, version 4.11.0* The app is littered with bugs. Audio plays regardless of audio setting. I tried contacting support and all I got was “sorry this is happening”. Cool, so fix it? With so many other option’s available, I’ll be looking elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Android support *2026-08-12, version 4.11.0* Workouts are great, but there is no app for android. Many of the features are notable to be used on the website ### 1/5 — Lame, bad cues. Marketing *2026-08-07, version 4.10.2* This app is pure fluff. Your “coach” is just a voice giving very bad cues and instructions, and an AI body mimicking the exercise from bad angles so you can’t even get effective tips for alignment . Absolute garbage . This is all marketing hype, no substance. ### 1/5 — Privacy nightmare *2026-08-03, version 4.10.2* App has no way to have a private profile and subjects you to a community chat where you have to hear about how Deborah thinks working out is hard. Also this app is collecting a lot of information with no way to limit or opt out. ### 1/5 — A real shame *2026-08-02, version 4.10.2* Had heard a lot of good hype about Ladder but sadly it missed the mark. Clunky and annoying to navigate and way too many teams to choose from. So many of the teams overlap and it makes choosing hard. The workouts seem very generic like something I could get on chat gbt ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-07-31, version 4.10.2* The app doesn’t actually connect to Spotify, it just opens it. The heart rate doesn’t reflect the Apple Watch and the running apps don’t show distance, you need to manually enter it in. Disappointing for $30/month. ### 1/5 — One week trial wasn’t enough *2026-07-29, version 4.10.2* Kind of difficult to understand and use there’s a lot going on ### 1/5 — Freezingggggg *2026-07-26, version 4.10.2* Since the nutrition update, my app keeps freezing ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent Workouts, great for motivation *2026-08-28* Excellent Workouts, great for motivation. Get results in no time. Put the time, get the results! ### 5/5 — Game changer *2026-08-28, version 4.11.1* You’re already on your phone… download the app and get to it! I’d recommend it over & over again. ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2026-08-28, version 4.11.1* I have tried so many paid workout apps and this one is thus my favorite ever!! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-08-28, version 4.11.1* This is exactly what I have been looking for! I knew I wanted to start lifting, but I didn’t know what to do, when to do it, or how long to do it for. This app is perfect!!! I am on team move well and it is a great group for any level of fitness you are in!! ### 5/5 — Ladder Rocks *2026-08-27, version 4.11.1* I’m new to ladder and have been on the app for about a month now, so take this for what it is. That said, without a doubt this is the most consistent and confident I’ve been with and in my workouts in years. The combination of the structure, accessibility, guided coaching and community all combined on this app has made it so easy for me to keep going and start seeing results. I’m really enjoying the Movewell team and feel like it’s a great combination of approachable and challenging. So far this is the best investment I’ve made in my physical training. ### 5/5 — Superior customer service! *2026-08-27, version 4.11.1* Man it’s so refreshing to have someone with you side by side on a fitness journey! Add top tier customer support to boot and you get this perfect little app! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Ladder is prime *2026-08-27, version 4.11.1* I’m loving this app it’s changed my physique and I love the time frames. Perfect for a good workout on my lunch break. 10/10. ### 5/5 — Best workout App *2026-08-27, version 4.11.1* This app takes all the thinking out of things. I love that they have different teams for different goals and levels. I’m a busy mom that works full time - If I don’t have time to hit the gym I’m able to find workouts with the equipment I have at home. I’ve also used on vacation. Very easy to use and I love that it also connects to my Apple Watch! ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2026-08-27, version 4.11.1* I absolutely love this app. I am a 51 year old working mother with 3 young girls in various activities, which means I am busy. It is really difficult for me to find time to go to a gym. I used to do Pilates in a studio but between cost and class times, it became too difficult to keep up. Now that I found Ladder, I have the ability to do the workouts from home which has been wonderful for me. I love that I was able to choose from a variety of trainers, based on the type of workouts I enjoy. I am on my 4th week, doing 6 workouts a week and only spending a maximum of 35 minutes per workout. I get to use weights and end each workout on the mat doing Pilates. Love this app! ### 5/5 — Amazing app Coach Kelly amazing *2026-08-27, version 4.11.1* Love this app it has helped me get back in shape and feeling good. Coach Kelly has also helped me improve better with my positioning and other aspects.! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
