### 2/5 — Fix the issues

*2026-08-27, version 3.2.3*

Loved this app, but it’s not updating my workouts

### 2/5 — It’s just ok

*2026-07-21, version 3.2.0*

For 4.99 a month it was pretty good. Now my workouts won’t update and I cannot connect to my account on my computer. I’m logged in and it says premium but nothing shows up from computer to iPhone. Very frustrating. Trying to set up workouts is such a pain in the app unless you plan on doing the same workouts day after day forever. The reps and weights never update from what I did last time for progressive overload. I have emailed support twice and it has gone unanswered. Just silence and crickets. I am currently looking for something else to fill
My tracking needs.

### 2/5 — absolutely disappointed

*2026-06-29, version 3.1.7*

the app used to be 100% free . ur was amazing until they added subscription for the same things that used to be free. 
ruined it

### 4/5 — Не работает

*2026-06-26*

После того как я купила платную подписку на год, я решила составить тренировку на неделю, вот только обломись, приложение пишет что необходимо подключение к интернету.
Приложение в целом отличное, просто я как бы не против заплатить, а оно не работает корректно 🫤

### 2/5 — Miss the old version:/

*2026-06-12, version 3.1.7*

The free version used to be great. I could track my workouts and look up exercises with bands, med balls, you name it. Now you can’t do anything with the free version. You can still look up different movements by body part, but it’s all so broad/entry level that it’s actually not that helpful for form checks

### 2/5 — Used to be great

*2026-05-23, version 3.1.5*

This app used to be great. Now since they implemented ads that slow down the app so much it’s barely usable. If you’re willing to pay to remove ads might as well switch to something that isn’t laggy beyond belief with the same benefits.

### 1/5 — Forcing users to try the paid trial

*2026-05-11*

On the web version of this app, you can get the free version easily. On the iOS you get trapped in a loop where it wants you to start the paid trial even if you hit the prominent “Continue for free” button. Sorry, but that’s either incompetent or dishonest.

### 1/5 — The app doesn’t let me login

*2026-05-08, version 3.1.4*

It shows already have an account when I’m signing in. Of course I have an account, that’s why I am signing in. It doesn’t even let me sign up.

### 3/5 — Good things come to an end

*2026-05-07, version 3.1.4*

Good app now ruined by subscription fatigue. What a shame.

### 1/5 — Não conecta

*2026-08-06*

Tentei fazer o login pelo app muitas vezes com a minha conta Google (que já havia criado no pc) e simplesmente não contesta

### 1/5 — Love the website. Not the app

*2026-07-12, version 3.1.9*

I want to ease in to using the app. It seems impossible to use it for free and get past the wall of prompts to pay. Will stick to the website for now

### 1/5 — Nothing works

*2026-07-04, version 3.1.8*

You can’t sign in or sign up to this app

### 1/5 — 登录不了

*2026-07-03*

根本就登录不了，别下了

### 1/5 — 登不上

*2026-06-29*

压根就登不上 真有意思

### 1/5 — Dead to me now

*2026-06-22, version 3.1.7*

I used this app so much. It had everything you could find for free that was good for my kind of workouts plus nice videos. All in one good package. The last update forced me to create an account and lo and behold, it’s spamming me with ads everywhere and the app because soooo slow because of that. Yeah it’s garbage now, there’s better options less invasive.

### 1/5 — 无法登录

*2026-06-06*

无法登录

### 1/5 — Can't open after log in error

*2026-06-03, version 3.1.6*

The website works well, created an account with my Google login and Apple login (so two different accounts), signed up for the trial of premium which went through - then tried to open the app for the first time and faced with "Login failed due to an error". Tested with both Google and Apple accounts, before and after signing up for the trial, two different iOS devices both on fairly up to date versions, after device restart, application force quit, deleting and redownloading, all still showing same error and not allowing me to login. Can't access the app at all with logging in, so it's effectively bricked for me at the moment and will have to continue using the web client :/

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2026-07-05, version 3.1.8*

Been using MuscleWiki for some time on and off and paying the yearly fee is worth it. Either using routine generator or building your own workouts and track progress is so easy. Highly recommend. Would really like to see a super set function added.

### 5/5 — Best app fr

*2026-07-02, version 3.1.8*

Best app for anyone looking for advice and video tutorials for weight lifting. 

Been using for years now, love it.

### 5/5 — Best app for exercising

*2026-04-19, version 3.1.3*

I’ve found that this is helping me as a beginner to choose what exercises I can do with the limited equipment I have at home as a SAHD. Thanks guys!

### 5/5 — 健身福音

*2026-04-16*

很好

### 5/5 — Best out there!

*2026-04-15, version 3.1.3*

The only app that lets me take notes on custom exercises. The muscle group categorization also works splendidly. There’s also a demonstration for each workout which is awesome!!

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-04-03, version 3.1.2*

I had a glow up because of this app

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2026-03-13, version 3.1.2*

Been using MuscleWiki for some time on and off and paying the yearly fee is worth it. Either using routine generator or building your own workouts and track progress is so easy. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2026-02-13*

App bem completo e fácil de usar, até agora estou tendo uma ótima experiência com ele.

### 5/5 — Not really one to reviews but felt obligated for this one.

*2026-01-02*

This app is truly amazing and it being free only adds to that statement and I don’t know how this app isn’t more popular. You can select what muscle group to target and what equipment your using and it shows you exercises for it and shows compound exercises and isolated ones. In short it’s an amazing app and definitely recommend.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2025-12-24, version 3.0.5*

This is a super good app
