Cardio
App seems good but there’s no option to focus on and prioritize cardio
Impressive
Easy to use
Great nutrition app, unacceptable workout app support
Ive used MacroFactor for years, and the nutrition app is excellent. That’s the only reason I’m still a customer.
The workout side has been a completely different experience. For more than a month, core functionality was broken for me. I couldn’t reliably save changes, save warm-up routines, or create a new program. I sent screen recordings, reinstalled the app, confirmed the issue persisted, followed up repeatedly, and even asked whether there was anything else I could provide to help them reproduce it.
The response was essentially the same every time: the ticket is with the developers and there is no update.
No workaround. No meaningful status update. No timeline. No proactive communication. No request for additional logs or information. No attempt to set expectations beyond saying bugs can take weeks or months.
What bothered me most was the support experience. I was eventually told that continuing to ask for updates would not speed up the developers or otherwise help my desired resolution. That completely misses the point of customer support. I was not asking support to write the code. I was asking for some level of ownership, communication, and help while a paid product was nearly unusable.
If a company knows a serious issue may take weeks or months to resolve, I would expect some proactive effort to retain and satisfy the affected customer. Instead, compensation or extended access was only mentioned after I became increasingly frustrated and raised the issue myself.
I ultimately gave up, cancelled the workout portion, and moved my training to another app.
The nutrition app is still good enough that I continue to use it, which says a lot about how strong that product is. But the workout app and the way this issue was handled have seriously damaged my confidence in MacroFactor as a whole.
If you are considering the workout app specifically, understand that if you hit a serious bug, you may be waiting a very long time with little more than “the developers have your ticket.”

Where has this app been all my life? lol
Great companion
Great combo with the calorie app, would love better smart watch integration for sets/reps logging.
IT DOES THE WORK!
I’ve really been enjoying MacroFactor Workouts. The workout builder is clean, easy to use, and makes tracking my training simple. It’s become a big part of my routine.
The only downside is that it can be a bit buggy at times. Every now and then things don’t sync correctly or the app feels a little unstable, but nothing that completely ruins the experience.
One feature I’d love to see is an Apple Watch app. Being able to start workouts, log sets, rest timers, and track everything directly from my watch would make the experience even better and much more convenient in the gym.
Overall, it’s a great workout app with a lot of potential. Fixing the occasional bugs and adding Apple Watch support would easily make it one of the best fitness apps available.

Need Apple Watch asap
This app seems great and i would make a full switch to it…. But…. Until it’s on apple watch, i can’t. Apple watch asap please. I’ll full switch to this app the day that happens
Disappointed in the lack of simple features
The program the app built for me was so random and consisted of 8 exercises per workout. Lack of built in exercises- how does it not have pull-ups??! Progressive overload (main reason I signed up) doesn’t work. Appears to be no catalogue of workouts to choose from. I do like the interface and lock screen preview and interaction. Style over substance. Hoped for more.

WO for Wonderful
I’ve used other apps, this app allows for direct import of spreadsheets and uses Ai to determine based on rep sets what you should push (or pull) on your next set! Phenomenal.
Training made easy and effective
As a long term user of the main MacroFactor app, using workouts was a given for a test but I’ve got to say there is no turning back. After what felt like the longest plateau ever, the automated progressive overload and adaptive sets have pushed my strength and hypertrophic gains more than I would have thought I could in a short period. Well done team, you’ll have me locked in for life at this rate!

Widgets
Needs widget support. Would love to track my weight or pr on my home page. Make it easily visible and I can quickly add weight by clicking it.
Love It
Love all the features! The videos are superb! I love that I can upload my JN programs and still individualize them for equipment available at my gym or personal preference. I can add exercises not already in the library. And the way the app adapts to me and my previous workouts (suggested weight, reps, etc) can’t be beat!

Best Workout App Of All Time and it’s not even a question
A workout app that actually coaches you based on progress, weights, sets, reps, everything. App UI is incredibly intuitive, easy to use and very well organized. The smart progression feature (which literally does everything for you backed by actual science) coaches you accurately based on what you did last session and based on the specific weight you have for every. Single. Exercise. The app even goes above and beyond by adding body weight contribution to your specific exercises that require it down to the last percentage of accuracy. App very well done.

Worth Every Penny
I’ve been lifting for over 15 years, the last decade of it bodybuilding-focused. For most of that time I tracked everything in a notebook and ran programs I found online — plans that were repetitive and impersonal, because they were never built for me in the first place.
Three weeks into this app, the difference is obvious. The programming is excellent, and the way it adjusts weights and rep schemes is genuinely impressive. Being able to swap exercises and equipment based on gym profiles makes the whole thing seamless.
I’ll be a subscriber for as long as this app exists. Highly recommend.

Hands down the best work out tracker I’ve tried.
Title says it
Love love love!
Me encanta esta app explica muy bien! Si eres principiante o avanzado 💪🏋️
Great workout app but doesn’t feel native on iOS
The program generation, auto progression, and Jeff Nippard exercise videos are all excellent. Adopting more native iOS 26 components would make the app feel more polished, consistent, and accessible.
Using for a few months— Do not recommend
I have been using this app for a free months and the coaches program is terrible. Neely every workout has bugs with predicting how much weight I can do and I have to fix it. You will not be paying for what is advertised on here.
For example, when doing a leg press for 450, I will be recommended to squat 375 the next week even though I only do 245 regularly.
Or I will get the kettlebell side bend at 105 lbs… even though a week ago I performed 45.
These bugs are constant and happen for most exercises despite me logging information correctly.
Developers please fix these tracking issues so I can use this app again.

Smart Generation is bad
If you have limited equipment the smart generation is bad. The app should have never released that function if they weren’t going to perfect it.
Doing upper lower split (because they don’t have ppl so it is either UL or Fullbody)
I had a leg day with one set of squats and two calf raises.
Their suggestion box are where ideas go to die. They use to be active on Reddit but not so much anymore. Half way through the year and all the hope at the start has died. I just give up. I really tried and I give up. This app has killed my motivation to workout. As I stress out about finding a program that works and isn’t silly.

More Focus Points
I really enjoy the app and I appreciate the evidence based programming. One feature I love to see is the ability to add more than five focus points, or an advanced mode that can allow 6 to 8 focus points. I think five works well for many users but experienced the lifters often have more than five focus points they like to prioritize. It would be great to see the app could intelligently distribute volume across those priorities while still managing recovery.
