### 3/5 — Weight tracker

*2025-04-19*

When you track your weight it only lets you go to 200 pounds. I weigh more than 200 pounds. I emailed them to change it but I never heard anything back.

### 3/5 — Good potential

*2025-02-08*

App has good potential but is a bit flaky when it comes to recording sets, often getting stuck in a loop at set 1 & not cycling through to end of set to next exercise.  Food look up for macro tracking need to be expanded. Expect more for the price tag considering it’s on an annual subscription basis.

### 3/5 — Needs more work

*2024-09-24, version 2.7.7*

Found that the barcode did not recognise the English barcodes I tried. You had to gauge calorific input from American brands.. workout section needs work.. makes the assumption you can do the workout in order the app tells you which is not intuitive. I can stand waiting around for a machine to come free. Your not able to complete the workout but in a different order according to what machine is free..

### 5/5 — Good at for the gym

*2024-08-11, version 2.4.1*

Been using this app as my workout tracker and liking it! They’ve been adding a lot of new features and improvements and the developer is quick to respond to any requests.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2024-07-17, version 2.2.6*

Offers a lot of different exercises and great calorie coaching!

### 5/5 — Game-changer for both lifts + diet

*2024-07-17, version 2.2.6*

Go-to app for an all-in-one experience tracking workouts and diet. Team is quick to respond and highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Quick resolution

*2024-07-05, version 2.2.2*

Developer reached out and corrected the issue. So far so good now. 🙌🏻

### 1/5 — Broken or scam?

*2024-07-02*

Took my $11.99 yet never leaves the purchase page.  Unusable, if this is resolved or my money is returned I’ll be happy to revisit this review.

### 3/5 — A work in progress

*2024-07-01, version 2.2.2*

There are some features and settings on this app that are missing and standard on other fitness apps, however the developer provides quick replies to service messages and seems dedicated to improving the experience.  I am hopeful this will be a complete fitness app soon!

### 5/5 — The all-in-one app!

*2024-07-01, version 2.2.2*

The LiftBuddy App has been a game changer for maintaining a consistent diet and workout plan! It is user-friendly, easy to stay on track, and helps to keep me accountable. Truly an all-in-one app!

### 1/5 — This app is trash.

*2025-05-04, version 3.4.2*

This app is garbage. Nothing works on it. It’s like the developers threw some things together and said forget it and put it to the side. And they have the nerve to charge for it. Do not waste your money. The concept is good but it just doesn’t work. I can’t update my weight past 200 pounds. And when I try to change some things it says “an error has occurred please try again”. I tried to reach out twice and never heard anything back from the developers. I’m going to find a better app. I don’t mind paying but I need something worth the money this is a joke of an app.

### 1/5 — Bugs Make It Useless

*2024-12-29*

The app sounds great on paper, but it seems to have quite a few bugs that make is useless:

1.	⁠Today, it isn’t saving my sets. It just resets to the original weight and keeps it at 6 reps.
2.	⁠I’m not able to update my workout settings. It is set to “low reps” and “home gym”, and any time I update and save it says “internal server error.”
3.	⁠I can’t copy previous day’s nutrition.

I’d love it if the app worked, but this isn’t useable. Will these issues get fixed?

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for bringing these issues to our attention. We replied to your comment in our subreddit as well and have resolved these issues. Please reach out if you experience any other bugs.

### 1/5 — Too many bugs

*2024-12-06, version 3.1.6*

I’ve had my fill of this app having given it multiple second chances. When it works it’s reasonably good, but the issues with consistency consistently let it down.  

Case in point, I can’t even log in today and it wants me to subscribe again despite having paid for the year in full. 

Cancelled subscription and then resubscribed but even that wouldn’t grant me access! 

Not good enough.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t get past paywall

*2024-11-30, version 3.1.6*

Wanted to give the app a chance but was stuck at the paywall everyone I went to accept the new program.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work

*2024-10-27*

Will not work at all

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review. We had a small bug that prevented new users from generating a plan that is now fixed. Feel free to try again or contact support@liftbuddy.com for additional assistance.

### 1/5 — Bad App

*2024-10-03, version 2.8.2*

App not working at all. Tried to sign up, I entered everything twice it charged me and still does not work. Reporting to Apple to get money back.  Costumer service not great either. 

Save your money. Don’t waste your money like I did on this terrible app.

### 1/5 — Paid

*2024-10-02*

These are paid apps no free trail

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2024-09-28, version 2.7.7*

Only left a 1 star for now as couldn’t find away to message anyone but the app won’t load last generating a plan tried numerous times 

Please help

### 1/5 — Costs Money

*2024-09-14, version 2.7.0*

As of 9/13/24 costs $12/mos or $60/yr

### 1/5 — I want to love this app

*2024-07-12, version 2.2.6*

The graphics is great, however its not as good as I have hoped, I started using it today and comparing to my other app fitbod this one lack in recording workouts and tracking the workouts I do I am so disappointed I am stuck with it for a year, I went and paid for the year without trying it first that's on me. I am not at all satisfied with this.

### 5/5 — Quick Fix

*2025-01-02, version 3.3.2*

Very happy to say that the developer was able to fix all of my issues in less than 48 hours. Sets are coming up correctly, and the workouts are great for my goals.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2024-12-06, version 3.1.6*

I love this app! It helps me stay on top of my workout routine and my eating routine! I am super busy and this app helps me stay on point. Thanks Lift Buddy!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-11-21, version 3.1.0*

Best gym app I’ve tried so far and I’ve tried a handful of them. Keeps me on track for training and diet. They also update it often. Feel like I’m getting in better shape already

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2024-11-13, version 3.0.4*

Well thought out app and very well designed. Has really kept me accountable. Well done!

### 5/5 — Great app for lifting

*2024-11-08*

This app has good programming and I like how they combine the nutrition and training in one. 

I wish you had the ability to add a set mid-workout, but I’d still recommend this and I’ve tried a bunch of weight training apps.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review! We are working on adding functionality to add a set mid workout! Stay tuned

### 5/5 — Keeping Fit!

*2024-11-01, version 3.0.0*

I’ve been using this for a several weeks and I really like the programming. They have a lot of good exercises, the programs are well balanced and I like that I can manage my training and diet in one place. It probably works best if you have access to a full gym with consistent routine. For years I’ve wanted to go beyond toning and develop a healthier physique, which can only happen with proper diet combined with weight training.This app helps with that goal.

### 5/5 — Very good app for weightlifters

*2024-10-30, version 3.0.0*

Been going to the gym for a while and this has helped me level up my results. The weight and rep suggestions are awesome and I love the macro coaching and food logging. This is a great app for anyone looking to improve in the gym

### 5/5 — Lift gaining

### 5/5 — amazing

*2024-09-08*

This is an amazing app I love it!!!! So much amazing workout here!!! 1000/10

### 5/5 — Game Changer

*2024-08-23, version 2.5.3*

Absolutely love this app. I have been using it for just over a month now and it has allowed me to stay consistent and motivated throughout the tailored workout regiment. The calorie coaching is a huge plus and has made things so much easier to manage. Since I’ve been using it several improvements have gotten rolled out as well, so I look forward to seeing what they add next. Highly recommend if you’re serious about getting in shape!
