### 4/5 — Program exercises not shown on Apple Watch

*2026-08-29, version 1.157*

Every couple of weeks program exercises stop being displayed on Apple Watch when a new workout is started. The only thing shown on the watch is the timer between the sets, without an exercise name. Resynced, restarted, and checked permissions. Wasn't helpful.
It was fixed after an update rollout sometime ago but it's happened again now.

### 3/5 — Gute Tracking App

*2026-08-25*

Wollte 4 von 5 Sternen geben. Aber seit einem Update funktioniert die App nicht mehr mit meiner Apple Watch. Zeigt nur noch Rest time an. Muss immer die App am Handy öffnen

### 4/5 — Only thing

*2026-08-11, version 1.153*

The only thing I would change is that the app would not only tell you what your last weight and reps were but also give you suggested increases. Great tracking app though

### 5/5 — The best!

*2026-08-07, version 1.153*

I have tried several apps before, and this is by far the best!

### 5/5 — Program exercises not shown on Apple Watch

*2026-08-06*

It's been a few days since program exercises stopped being displayed on Apple Watch when a new workout is started. The only thing shown on the watch is the timer between the sets, without an exercise name. Resynced, restarted, and checked permissions. Wasn't helpful.

Edit: It's fixed. Thanks!

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for reporting this. We’ve added improvements for this in version 1.150, which is coming very soon. Please let me know if it’s still not working after you receive that update.

### 5/5 — Impressed

*2026-08-02, version 1.152*

Surprised me for sure with how nicely its set up, includes things that other workout apps dont. U get occasional ads but nothing that impedes me from getting shredded🤑🤑

### 4/5 — Presque parfait

*2026-07-30, version 1.152*

Super application, mais il manque un peu d’exercices dont j’ai besoin

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-29, version 1.152*

I initially tried the free version & loved it so much I upgraded to premium. I’m a newbie to strength training and this app has helped me massively from the demos of each exercise and tracking for accountability/progressive overload. Also love how it gives you equivalents to how much you’ve lifted each session - my current record is a fighter jet ✈️😆

*2026-07-28, version 1.152*

It's been a few days since program exercises stopped being displayed on Apple Watch when a new workout is started. The only thing shown on the watch is the timer between the sets, without an exercise name. Resynced, restarted, and checked permissions. Wasn't helpful.

Edit (Jul 28): It was fixed but starting today exercises are not shown on the Apple Watch again.

### 5/5 — Хорошее приложение

*2026-07-28*

В целом доволен, но было бы лучше если было лучше русифицировано (включая упражнения)

**Developer response:** Спасибо за отзыв! Рад, что вы в целом довольны приложением. Звучит, как хорошая идея улучшить русификацию, включая упражнения, и я это учту в будущем.

### 3/5 — Not free

*2026-07-28, version 1.152*

Don’t believe the fake comments on insta saying it’s free 😭😭

### 5/5 — 50 and fit

*2026-07-26, version 1.152*

Absolutely brilliant

### 5/5 — PERFECT

*2026-07-24, version 1.152*

So very helpful app, especially if you are new to this. You will be learning forms and all exercises. It does not force you to subscribe either.

### 5/5 — 1 workout app

*2026-07-23, version 1.151*

Amazing app for logging and keeping track of workouts.

### 1/5 — NOT FREE

*2026-08-30, version 1.157*

Another scam so that’s free until you actually want to use it. Unless you want to pay $60 don’t download this.

### 1/5 — App

*2026-08-13, version 1.154*

After downloading the app it’s impossible to delete from phone. I’m now contacting Apple Store for full investigation and ban from Apple Store place.

### 1/5 — .

*2026-08-04*

Очень странное приложение. Вроде сначала все нормально при регистрации, а само приложение..как только захожу посмотреть упражнение мне пишет что оно не находит ничего, захожу в раздел и зависает все приложение, нужно выйти и зайти обратно..какой то гемор.

**Developer response:** Привет! Извините за неудобства. Поскольку Lyfta зависит от облачных сервисов, проблемы с подключением или региональные ограничения могут вызывать сбои загрузки — многие пользователи отмечают, что использование VPN помогает. Мы работаем над улучшением стабильности сети, но если проблема сохраняется, пожалуйста, напишите нам на support@lyfta.app с указанием модели вашего устройства, и мы поможем во всем разобраться!

### 1/5 — Charges you without warning

*2026-08-03, version 1.152*

This app says it will warn you but it doesn’t. they took $100 from me with no warning even though i had only used the app once and had no intention of paying for it. 

very predatory behaviour and now i can’t afford my groceries for this week. guess i’m going hungry.

### 1/5 — Auto payed for a year

*2026-07-31, version 1.152*

They made me pay for a year when I didn’t signed up for it $91.99, and then gave me no way to get a refund. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Not free

*2026-07-25, version 1.152*

You can pay 100$ for this of just use Hevy for free, which is same but better…

### 1/5 — Strait up copy of hevy

*2026-07-22, version 1.151*

Even the same icons were copied. One thing is to get inspiration and the other is to outright steal

### 1/5 — Don’t get duped

*2026-07-12, version 1.150*

This app is full of typos, workouts in languages I don’t know, and uses cutesy anime images to describe workout programs. I expected a lot more given the reviews I read. And those hundreds of “free” programs… I never saw any of those. Canceled within 24 hours. Total junk.

### 1/5 — Looking for a free app & it’s not

*2026-07-05, version 1.150*

The first review when going through the store ends with “Thanks for keeping it free”.  At the end of the signing up it offers a free 2 week trial then you pay the subscription.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-07-03, version 1.150*

Signed up for 2 weeks trial… automatically gave me a premium membership and charged $19.04.  Asked for refund they advised was Apple problem to get refund there.  Go to Apple and conveniently the charge had no receipt therefore could not request refund.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-31, version 1.156*

Been using this app for a while its very good

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-30, version 1.157*

Great app to plan and track workouts. One thing I would suggest or wish they had is to show the calories burnt on each workout. Hope this gets added at some day.

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2026-08-24, version 1.156*

This app is fantastic! Especially for beginners. So helpful. Love it.

### 5/5 — First workout app that’s actually stuck!

*2026-08-21, version 1.154*

Ive always found apps too clunky to record workouts. Lyfta has nailed it. Super easy to build workouts, track progress and see what muscle groups are being neglected. 

Finally nailing progressive overload across every exercise and with consistent eating have gained 9kg in the last 8 weeks. 

I’ve got a bunch of friends onto it with me too now. Would recommend

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-21, version 1.156*

I am loving this app. It takes the planning out of working out and saves me so much time.

### 5/5 — Simple/Free

*2026-08-17, version 1.154*

No more writing all my stuff down in my book and flipped through pages for progress. This app makes tracking so much easier, without subscribing even. Also great at providing new workouts to your routine.

### 5/5 — Best gym app

*2026-08-15, version 1.154*

All around amazing gym tracker & free!!!!

### 5/5 — Best lifting app to exist

*2026-08-13, version 1.154*

Never had a problem in 6 months of using and has helped me so much in the gym with the tracking log to help with progressive overload

### 5/5 — User friendly and free!!

*2026-08-12, version 1.153*

I don’t often write reviews, but this app felt fitting. Not only is there a free version, but it is extremely accessible, easy to use, and very helpful for someone trying to branch out and try different exercise styles. As someone who only has a few days a week to work out, it’s been really helpful to use the app to create my own workout plans. I love this app!! Thank you Lyfta!

### 5/5 — This app has helped me so much with my training

*2026-08-08*

As the title says, it changed the way I train and keep track of my numbers, PRs, and progressive overload. The free version already provides pretty much all the essential tools, but the paid version gives you that little extra. A great addition.

**Developer response:** Fico feliz em saber que Lyfta mudou a forma como você treina e acompanha seus números! Que bom que você está aproveitando as ferramentas essenciais da versão gratuita e o extra que a versão paga oferece. 💪
