Paid $30 for a year and wish I didn’t . The food label scan says my slim Jim gives me 90gs of protein . Wish I could get my $ back . Back see past days food eaten or calories . Even tho they so off it’s pointless. A lot of better apps that actually work . This daily quest is 8 chin ups lol you will def get ripped doing that lol no you won’t . Complete scam . The dungeon workouts can’t see you I did 75 jumping jacks the boss did 5 did does not recognize your movements so you lose . Really wanted this to work but there is a ton of solo leveling style apps this one seems to be the worst . **Developer response:** Thanks for giving Monarch a shot, and I'm sorry the scanner and boss battle let you down. Barcode nutrition comes from a crowd-sourced database to give you the widest food options, and some of its entries are wrong (which I should have caught). A few list a whole package as one serving, or put a full bottle's numbers where 100 g should be. One tap on a product like that could log several times the real calories or protein. The new update checks every scanned product. If its numbers can't be right, Monarch won't log them, and every serving now shows its weight in grams, so you can spot a bad one before adding it. I also fixed the bad entries I could find. The latest update (1.5.15) also lets you log meals on any past day you missed, and swipe the Nutrition calendar back to the week you joined. On the jumping jacks: Boss battles count reps through the camera. They only count when your whole body is in frame and the room is well lit. Propping the phone 6 to 8 feet away usually fixes low counts. The 8 chin-ups were one exercise of several in that day's quest. The quest is built from your equipment and level, and you can change it with Customize Quest. If anything still looks off, email me at vidur@vidursaini.com and I'll look into it myself. Vidur ### 2/5 — Expensive *2026-07-07* The idea of the app is very good but you have to pay, which most people won’t do including me. Also there is no free way to use the app. **Developer response:** Glad the idea of Monarch clicked for you. Personalized daily quests are free and unlimited for everyone, while starting a workout, logging sets, marking quests complete and joining guilds are part of Premium. If you have any concerns about pricing, email me at vidur@vidursaini.com. ### 4/5 — Expensive *2026-06-03* The app is really good but it’s too expensive like 5k a year??? Bro people already pay for stuff and 5k is overboard it’s like pay to grow. Make it 2~3k at least. **Developer response:** Glad you're enjoying Monarch, and I hear you on not wanting another subscription on top of everything else. Your personalized daily-quest workouts are free and unlimited, while starting and logging workouts, completing quests, and guilds are Premium. If you have questions about pricing, email me at vidur@vidursaini.com. ### 5/5 — Best Solo Leveling-inspired fitness app *2026-05-25* I tried several RPG apps, including Arise, but Monarch is absolutely the best. Awesome workouts, and overall app experience. Can’t recommend it enough ya’ll. **Developer response:** Thank you for giving us a shot. We're glad to be a part of your fitness journey! ### 1/5 — Can’t do anything unless you pay a ridiculous price *2026-02-22* This app seemed extremely well done, and I’ve seen reviews where the dev has stated that you can do the daily workouts without paying the subscription, but I literally can’t do anything—everything I try to do, it asks me if I want to pay a month or a yearly amount. Which is fine—I don’t begrudge a dev for wanting to pay for an app. What I have a problem with is the price—$10 a month?? Or $50 a year?? Just get a gym membership—Gold’s Gym near my house offers memberships at $10 per month. I love the look and feel of this app, but there’s no way I’m going to pay those prices. Also, it’d be nice to know how severely limited the app would be after downloading it and not paying that crazy price. Thanks. **Developer response:** Glad you like the look and feel of Monarch. Your personalized daily-quest workouts are free and unlimited to view. Starting a workout, logging weights and reps, completing quests, guilds and dungeons are Premium. If the price is an issue, email me at vidur@vidursaini.com and I'm happy to talk about it. ### 1/5 — Paywall App *2026-01-24* Don’t believe the online Advertisement! You create an account and when you choose to start a quest the subscription paywall shows up. Not much you can do for free .Kind of worthless if you can’t even log workouts for free. **Developer response:** Hey, The daily quests in the app are a 100% free. Logging workouts, joining guilds, and completing dungeon workouts are a premium feature. ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2026-01-20* The app is awesome! If you like solo leveling and gamified fitness, this is perfect. The price point and return on investment is well worth it. You pay for a gym membership, you pay for a personal trainer, this is a happy medium between the two. Stop buying Fortnite skins and start investing in your own. Definitely recommend! **Developer response:** Thank you for this. Calling Monarch a happy medium between a gym membership and a personal trainer is exactly the spot I hoped it would fill. And I agree, leveling up your own stats beats buying Fortnite skins any day. ### 1/5 — paywalls everywhere *2026-01-02* cool idea but you can’t even hit start quest without it asking you to pay. what’s the point if i can’t do anything? **Developer response:** Hey, The daily quests in the app are a 100% free. Logging workouts, joining guilds, and completing dungeon workouts are a premium feature. ### 3/5 — Weights *2026-01-01* This is more so of a question but does workouts that are givin to me provide weight lifting nothing srs like bench pressing but like with dumbbells and such cause ik it asks if we have access for it but when I look it doesn’t show any planned day with weights so I’m a little confused. **Developer response:** Hey, This bug has been fixed and the app now adapts better to the inputs you provide during the onboarding process and the information that exists in the profile section. ### 1/5 — Paywall App *2025-12-31* You create an account and when you choose to start a quest the subscription paywall shows up. Not much you can do for free. I don’t know if it’s a bug or supposed to be like this. **Developer response:** Hey, The daily quests in the app are a 100% free. Logging workouts, joining guilds, and completing dungeon workouts are a premium feature. ## Frequently asked questions about Monarch ### What does the Level Up - Gamified Fitness app do?
