### 4/5 — Overall Good

*2026-10-26, version 1.164*

I wish you could pre-plan your workouts to start at a different time / schedule.  I also think there is plenty of room to expand the exercise database.  There are a lot that are not listed which is time consuming to add when you are getting ready to workout.  Maybe adding the ability to pre-plan workouts would help.  Besides for those two things I do like the app and find it helpful to track my progress.

### 3/5 — Fait le strict minimum

*2026-10-25*

Graphiquement l’application pourrait être généreuse, je rêve d ‘une application moderne, cependant l’application fait son travail et a le mérite d’être meilleure que beaucoup de compétiteurs. Il y’a encore une belle place pour une application qui va illustrer les faux mouvements à éviter par machine pour les salles de gym, je continue à chercher.

**Developer response:** Merci pour ce retour honnête ! Montrer les mauvais mouvements à éviter sur chaque machine, c'est une très bonne idée. Vous pouvez l'ajouter dans Settings → Get Help → Feature Request, on lit toutes les demandes. Kjell de Lyfta

### 3/5 — Glitches while using on Apple watch

*2026-10-21, version 1.164*

It doesn’t work great on Apple Watch as the screen freezes frequently. The mobile app
is amazing though.

### 4/5 — .

*2026-10-19*

Vous mettez sur la pub garmin hors quand on est sur l’application ça marche uniquement sur Apple Watch

**Developer response:** Bonjour, merci pour les 4 étoiles. L'intégration Garmin n'est pas encore disponible, pour l'instant seule l'Apple Watch est prise en charge. Désolé si la pub a prêté à confusion. C'est une demande qu'on entend souvent et on la garde en tête pour la suite. Vous pouvez aussi l'ajouter dans Réglages → Get Help → Feature Request. Kjell de Lyfta

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2026-10-17, version 1.164*

It’s not as great as the ads made it out to be. It’s ok. If you’re at a loss of what to do at the gym - this certainly helps.

### 3/5 — Feels like AI based app. I could be better, it’s not as great as in looks.

*2026-10-11, version 1.163*

It uses the same muscles names for every specific workout. Which, I do kinda like it uses the scientific name. But it doesn’t help when you want to workout specific parts of your muscles. Like example: for chest it uses the same muscle and all the workouts don’t specify which part of the chest is being worked out. Like I would really like if it said stuff like “upper chest” “lower chest” but it doesn’t specify, its just says the whole chest because technically yeah they all have the same scientific name. Not only that you see multiple of the same looking exercises with a bit of a different name but it would work out same thing on your body. The same looking workouts as you scroll constantly makes it feel like you’re not getting anywhere which feels like it’s more ran by an AI rather than real people. Which, I don’t have a problem but if you want authentic its not really giving that vibe here.

### 4/5 — BEST APP

*2026-10-08, version 1.163*

Best app for the gym! It makes things so easy to track. I am a beginner at the gym and it also helps with knowing what exercises I need to do to train certain muscles. I gotta say, the exact muscles they said I would be training are the exactly muscles that were sore the best day! Seriously so excited to be getting into the gym with this app

### 3/5 — Stairmaster not included!!!???!

*2026-10-07, version 1.163*

Dev team: where is the stairmaster? Such a basic piece of gym equipment. Please fix this asap. 

The app itself is ok once you figure it all out. Takes a bit of time as some things are not intuitive.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!’

*2026-10-06, version 1.163*

Please guys do yourselves a favor and download this app! This is legit one of the most useful app on the market, for a person like me that usually forget how many set I have left this is very helpful. I have all my routines of the week ready to start them with this app

### 4/5 — Excellent app 1 thing missing

*2026-10-04, version 1.163*

Amazing app, but I’ve recently bought a pilates reformer and its a shame there are no excercies on it.

Could be an easy addition

### 5/5 — Lo mejor de lo mejor

*2026-10-02, version 1.163*

Me ah ayudado tanto en mi proceso que la amo

### 1/5 — не открывается приложение

*2026-10-25*

почему у меня уже второй день пишет «синхронизация данных трен…» и идет какая то загрузка, не могу пользоваться приложением

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте, очень жаль, что приложение зависло на синхронизации. Попробуйте полностью закрыть Lyfta и открыть снова, проверьте интернет. Если не поможет, напишите на support@lyfta.app с моделью iPhone и версией iOS, и мы разберёмся. Kjell из Lyfta

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-10-23, version 1.164*

I need to be all the time with the phone out, I should prefer to control all from watch. This is for wannabes.

### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX THIS PLEASE! 🙏🏻

*2026-10-20, version 1.164*

iPhone 13 Pro using latest Lyfta app. Rest timer notifications are not vibrating neither on apple watch, just the sound and the issue continues on iOS 27 as well.

### 1/5 — Not free

*2026-10-20, version 1.164*

App says it’s free but it isn’t once you get to the end.

### 1/5 — buggy

*2026-10-14, version 1.164*

Completed workout yesterday, got final screen with total weight, etc. Today it shows as missed.

### 1/5 — 100% AI scam

*2026-10-14, version 1.164*

The app is one of the worst for workout planning. Asked for a 30min fill body and gave me 4 back exercices… then to refund the app you need to register 8x1h training… while the plan they give me is 30min of nonsense. I could do a better workout plan with my eyes covered.

### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX THIS PLEASE! 🙏🏻

*2026-10-14, version 1.164*

Rest timer notifications are not vibrating, just the sound and the issue continues on iOS 27 as well.

### 1/5 — NOT FREE

*2026-10-04, version 1.163*

Seen the reviews saying it was free and was excited to download. Upon actually downloading app and going through the sign up process, once I get to the last page it says it’s free for 2 weeks and then $60/year. Such a waste of time.

### 1/5 — Theft

*2026-10-03, version 1.161*

They make it impossible to gain access to the cancel subscription button

### 1/5 — Terrible - 0/10

*2026-09-25, version 1.161*

This app sucks, total waste of money. Lots of movements not included in the library, and app layout sucks. Do not pay for the premium! I accidentally let it auto subscribe and it charged me for a whole year instead of just a month, which I did not agree to. I reached out to Lyfta’s support, who said I would get a refund if I went through the App Store, which I did. The App Store then denied me and when I reached out Apple told me it was denied based on Liftya’s policies. Feels very scam-y. Don’t trust them!

### 5/5 — Best app overall

*2026-10-22, version 1.164*

One of the best gym app I have ever found. Best in class

### 5/5 — This app is really good

*2026-10-17, version 1.164*

This app has really helped me keep track and I’m one to get easily overwhelmed by apps and trackers. This made it nice to have a video example of exercises for free! I love this app for this reason!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-10-15, version 1.164*

Actually an amazing app use it every workout

### 5/5 — Meilleure appli jamais conçue !

*2026-10-14*

Alors là c'est un sans faute ! Étant hyper exigeante sur le carnet de musculation qui allait me suivre au quotidien, j'ai parcouru absolument toutes les apps à la recherche de la meilleure, et c'est clairement Lyfta !

Ce que j'aime le plus c'est surtout les mouvements animés sur l'Apple Watch ainsi que son énorme catalogue d'exercices, on est sûr de trouver ce qu'il nous faut !

Bravo pour cette appli vraiment ! 👏

### 5/5 — Amazing and easy

*2026-10-13, version 1.164*

App is easy to use, you can follow routine or make up your own. Even shows videos if you’re not sure about form.

### 5/5 — good app

*2026-10-12, version 1.163*

EDIT - they really have thought of everything! thanks for the response lyfta! 

original - really good app, i would love the option to share progress in exercises across plans though - for instance, if i have RDLs in two different routines of a workout plan, recording my ‘previous’ weight x reps as what i did last across the whole plan, not just in that routine

### 5/5 — .

*2026-10-10, version 1.163*

Great app for tracking my routine! I’m just not sure if the premium version is worth it yet.

### 5/5 — slay

*2026-10-09, version 1.163*

good

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2026-10-08, version 1.163*

I really like the explore session.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-10-08, version 1.163*

I use this to improve my technique when lifting. Very good.  It would be nice if the videos came with step by step instructions as well for those who are more auditory learners.
