### 1/5 — AI slop

*2026-04-30*

Feels like vibe coded slop. Nothing works properly

**Developer response:** Hey Albert, sorry to hear you had a rough experience. Lift App is a real-time computer vision and analytics platform — there's a lot of engineering under the hood that takes time to tune and ship.

That said, I'd genuinely like to know what wasn't working for you. What device were you using, and was it tracking accuracy, a specific exercise, or a crash? Reach out at support@lift-app.ai or DM us on Instagram and I'll personally help get it sorted and credit you a free month for the trouble.

### 2/5 — Super buggy app. Doesn’t even let me choose which workout. Video recording does not work as well.

*2026-04-24*

Can't choose work out. Cool idea though, bad execution

**Developer response:** Hi Long,

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback — sorry to hear you ran into issues. We'd love to get this sorted out for you.

Could you share a bit more detail on what's happening when you try to choose a workout and record video? You can reach us at support@lift-app.ai and we'll dig in right away. Version 1.0.6 just released with a number of fixes, so it's worth updating — and your feedback helps us make sure we're catching the right things.

Appreciate you giving Lift App a shot!
