The app has potential but I crashes/glitches often, it’s a hassle to link the payment vendor, and you can only book clients from 9am to 5pm as if this is the only time that people workout… ### 2/5 — App crash *2026-04-23, version 3.20.3* Having issues with adding reps to the exercises. Every time I try, the app closes on its own. ### 2/5 — Wasted work *2026-03-07, version 3.19.7* Have to schedule workouts in order to edit and save. APP is unstable. I have lost a lot of work because of the above issues. ### 2/5 — Not worth the trouble *2025-12-20, version 3.19.7* The app is glitchy and unreliable. The exercises in the library portion only partially load. Contacting NASM got me little help other than the suggestion to delete and reload it (have done multiple times). ### 2/5 — Mostly disappointing *2025-12-16, version 3.19.7* Clients appreciate the app, so that’s good. But the tedious, and frustrating path for creating programs, adding exercises and then not getting any valuable reminders, like, when clients programs need updated make this app the most disappointing option on the market. ### 1/5 — Doesnt work *2025-09-16, version 3.19.6* Funny you pay for something and it doesn’t even allow you to login or work on anything for 7 days!!! ### 2/5 — It is not working *2025-09-16, version 3.19.6* As of today September 16 neither my clients nor I couldn’t access to the app. ### 3/5 — Trainer review *2025-09-07, version 3.19.5* I like the app all in all. But there ate some issues that have made it more complicated. 1. When you search a specific exercise it doesn’t pull them up. 2. There is a lot of times that when I go to save changes in the Edit section it can’t save… I’ve tried calling and talking to someone but nobody seems to know anything about this program. ### 1/5 — Barely works *2025-09-05, version 3.19.5* This app has been terrible. Very few things work on it. It doesn’t function like it is formatted for IOS at all. Very disappointing for what trainers pay for courses and certifications. ### 3/5 — Great app! Has potential *2025-08-21, version 3.19.5* I have loved this app for the assessment feature, nutrition calculators, etc. however there needs to be an improvement on the speed of exercise search and filters. There are so many glitches and it is taking me a ridiculous amount of time just to add a single exercise to my workout, it’s very frustrating. I also don’t see an option to add my clients weight used for each exercise and a way to see their progress for specific exercises. Overall it’s great for payments, contracts, conducting assessments. But definitely needs improvement to make the process more efficient for PT’s. ### 2/5 — Most Frustrating App *2025-07-30, version 3.19.5* I NEVER leave reviews. Especially bad reviews because I don’t like being negative. But I’m so beyond frustrated. I’ve used this app for my clients for almost four years. They get frustrated at the loading time for videos. I get extremely mad when I’m trying to create a plan and it either: (on any device-desktop/iPad/phone, and yes I’ve cleared my cache every time I’m creating a plan) 1. Takes a year to load ONE exercise 2. Finally loads but won’t add to workout 3. Finally get an entire plan done and then it saves it all mixed up or doesn’t save at all! 4. When trying to copy a workout, it either misses exercises or has them mixed up and then still won’t save correctly! 5. You have to type EXACTLY what you’re trying to find, even if it’s your own exercise you’ve created 6. Only saves measurements in whole numbers. Those half inches are everything for clients to see progress! 7. Have constantly reported issues and they never get resolved 8. Can only upload videos in MP4 format 9. Can only upload via computer and not on the go via portable devices 10. I cannot download my own content that I’ve uploaded which is why I stay because I spent countless hours adding content. Mainly because it took so long for everything to load and convert to MP4s. And I have so many of my own videos because the library isn’t that great Okay for the positives and why I keep using this app. 1. Ability to add my own workouts and exercises. Video format or pictures. (Even though it takes forever to do) 2. The nutrition guide now available in app is a great addition. I no longer need to save PDFs to email to clients. 3. Easy to add clients 4. Can’t get my videos back so I continue to stay I don’t like being negative at all but I’m so beyond irritated with this app. ### 2/5 — Flash Cards Broke *2025-06-17, version 3.19.2* I was using this for the flash cards, which was great! But then suddenly they stopped loading entirely. I’ve redownloaded the app, and waited for awhile, but nothing :( ### 1/5 — TRASH! Won’t load flash cards nor course materials *2025-06-17, version 3.19.2* Won’t load flash cards nor course materials ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work well *2025-05-01, version 3.19.2* I have been a loyal NASM trainer for over 20 years and love the education. But every time I have tried to implement this app with my clients it’s a cluster fluck. It is buggy and most of the time doesn’t load exercises so I cannot use it. ### 2/5 — Update *2025-04-14, version 3.19.2* I am a 26 year old pro-athlete and personal trainer. Definitely needs an update in a few areas. ### 1/5 — Lot of potential but is not working. *2025-04-13, version 3.19.2* First, I’m client since the very beginning of the app. Always confronting some bug issues. Now, I’m experiencing serious issues with the NASM Edge app. It’s extremely slow and this is directly affecting my work as a personal trainer. It takes me a long time to create workout plans because the app won’t let me search for exercises properly — the search freezes or doesn’t load at all. I’ve followed every recommendation from the tech team: logging out, reinstalling the app, updating my phone’s operating system, checking my internet connection, etc. None of it has solved the issue. Additionally, some of my routines have been randomly deleted or won’t save properly, which causes a huge loss of time and affects how I deliver service to my clients. This is affecting my productivity and overall user experience. I need an urgent solution or, at the very least, a clear alternative that allows me to continue working without disruptions. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work half the time *2025-04-07, version 3.19.2* Very frustrating to use. Great when it works but a lot of the time, exercises or other things on the app won’t load ### 1/5 — Worthless and unreliable *2025-04-02, version 3.19.2* This is the most buggy app (and associated website) I have ever used in my life. I have sent in countless feedback submissions and support tickets to no avail. They email me and tell me to restart the app or uninstall to fix it and if it doesn’t fix to call in. The support tickets and the calls Never consistently fixes any issue. Here are just a few of the issues 1) search functionality is inconsistent at best. I can search of an exercise and use NASM’s exact wording and sometimes the exercise will show up and sometimes it won’t. 2) sometimes the search functionality is completely down-like it is right now actually 3) when you create a work out it doesn’t always save all your changes even when you press save 4) sometimes you spend time creating a workout all to press save and you get an error message “record not saved” then your work is for nothing 5) if you are lucky and the work out saves—-when you assign the workout, all the exercises get reordered 6) you cannot edit a workout you already have made within the work out section (vs under a client already assigned) it will every time without exception throw an error message at you that it cannot be saved. 7) the app doesn’t allow you to duplicate a workout you have created like it does online with web based I have about 12 more issues but after sitting here fighting the app yet again, I have other work to do and can’t spend more time. Oh also they keep asking me to run the web version in chrome claiming that’s the issue. I do run it in chrome. I have offered to bug test for them and they decline. I ask for a refund. They decline. The only reason I have to use it is I have two clients I can’t migrate to a new app bc they are so old it was hard enough to teach them to use this garbage. PLEASE FIX THE APP. Currently no search function is working. ### 2/5 — Muscle *2025-03-31, version 3.19.2* Each exercise should target all the relevant muscle groups involved in that particular exercise. However, the search functionality in the app is quite limited. When searching for an exercise, it often doesn’t appear, and the search process is usually slow. Please address these issues, as there are other fitness apps that perform these tasks more efficiently. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Reviews were accurate *2026-06-03, version 3.20.3* New to training. Downloaded it for the first time, latest version. Was in the middle of entering exercises for a workout and the app crashed. No error message. Tried again, crashed. Closed other apps. Crashed again. Restarted phone, crashed. Couldn’t use it. ### 1/5 — Find something else *2026-06-01, version 3.20.3* Constantly crashes while trying to edit reps and sets for clients. Can’t see my clients own notes they leave me do not recommend ### 1/5 — Read the reviews *2026-05-18, version 3.20.3* I just installed and haven’t opened yet bc I wanted to see the reviews and my god. How could they be so bad? Seems like this application needs serious improvement. ### 1/5 — NO improvement and NOT reliable after all these years *2026-04-08, version 3.20.3* I’ve been using the NASM Edge App since its inception and after countless efforts and emails to Support they refuse to address any all the bugs and issues this app has. Body Planner feature is not reliable….DONOT USE…App over calculates BMR and TDEE. App shuffles order of programmed exercises. App does not allow modifying variables for created group workouts supersets and circuits. No option to edit or delete user entered exercises…let’s not forget to mention the countless times it crashes….the list goes on…..NASM feel free to reach out and get on a call with me I’d love to connect and make this App what it could and should be. ### 1/5 — Too buggy *2026-04-03, version 3.20.3* This app is way too buggy. Workouts do not save in the order they are programmed. The exercise library is also very limited. ### 1/5 — Waste of money for exam study *2026-02-23, version 3.19.7* Besides being buggy and hard to use. It will straight up give you wrong answers. Cross referenced with the NASM Book and Internet. ### 1/5 — Issues creating custom *2025-11-23, version 3.19.7* I am not able to update and save workouts or programs for clients. I get errors or looped. When I save, it’s not changed. ### 1/5 — Needs major software development. *2025-10-01, version 3.19.7* App crashes constantly, lots of server issues, when uploading workouts for my clients I get through all the hard work of building then get an errors when trying to save them or add to my clients schedule. Will have to find another app if you are trying to use this one for business it’s not consistent enough and causes lots of extra work. ### 1/5 — NASM CPT and I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS APP. *2025-09-30, version 3.19.7* As a NASMCPT, I really wanted to like this app. However, it has been such an inconvenience and negative professional reflection on me with my clients who constantly run into issues with this app. Searching for exercises does not yield accurate results. I am often unable to edit exercise exercises, and receive error messages. I have been locked out a few times due to glitching. I have canceled my subscription for this and many other reasons, including very minimal features in comparison to other apps that allow integration of fitness trackers, setting of goal, and have a variety of on demand tutorials. Now that I’m moving towards being an online coach. I can no longer tolerate this app. It was only tolerable to track my clients progress on the dashboard and message them. If I told every issue that I had, I will probably be here all day. I’m so sadly dissatisfied. ### 1/5 — Very Frustrating! *2025-09-30, version 3.19.7* The search feature for exercises is awful. It loads my exercises that I have uploaded and then they disappear and I can only see the ones that are already loaded into the app. Then it will only show about 15 of them repeated over and over. Now I can’t even get into the app and keep getting an error message. The app is not cheap to constantly be having issues that affect my business. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good app! Random glitches *2024-01-18, version 3.16.2* Dig the app and the ability to add my own exercises to the library. Needs to add section for “AMRAP reps”. Sometimes glitches and doesn’t turn on first thing in the morning ### 5/5 — Great Exercise app *2022-02-08, version 3.5.1* I enjoy the various kinds of exercises given ### 5/5 — Great and very useful *2021-09-10, version 3.3.6* This app is great, especially once you get used to it! I’m so happy to see all the improvements recently, keep it up! ### 5/5 — Wow!!! Just Incredible!!! *2020-09-11, version 2.7.3* This App is a game changer. I’m a NASM CPT and when I found this App was truly amazed. It makes things so much easier! Especially saving time on Me(the trainer) All I can say is thank you.💪🏼 I am more happy then you know. For those that gave this rating less then a 5, please.... I don’t think you understand how incredible this is. And even if you do then your being ungrateful. 3 shoutouts for NASM EDGE! 10/10, I will be recommending this app to every trainer I meet and be using this for every client I work with. Let’s get out there and get work done💪🏼 ### 5/5 — Great tool for the trainer! *2019-08-29, version v2.1.1* This is an excellent way for trainers to monitor the goals of their clients. With the ability to send workouts their way, it becomes easier to give clients homework and train remotely. The best part is the updates. More tools are being added to help the professional deliver better services to their clients. I highly recommend this for the trainer looking for an effective tool to help organize their training for clients!! ### 5/5 — So pumped! *2018-08-01, version 1.0.0* Eagerly awaited its arrival and am not disappointed. With a solid exercise library, the ability to record assessments on my clients, ready-built programs that I can tailor to my clients as needed, and a system to customize programs based on assessments performed on my clients, this app is a powerful teammate that I’ll gladly have in my corner. There’s a lot going on and takes some adjusting to get used to, but no doubt a strong beginning to a product I’ll soon forget didn’t exist before! ### 4/5 — Issues with Entering Physical Fitness Test Data *2026-05-20, version 3.20.3* Hello, Developer. When entering waist and hip measurements, a decimal point appears if the value is 100 or higher. Please fix this. ### 4/5 — Review *2022-04-24* I have been using this app for about 2 years and I enjoy the services that it provides with the online client training. There are a few things I feel would make using the app more convenient. One of the more challenging things is trying to filter the right muscle groups so that the appropriate exercises show. Sometimes when I type the exercise I’m looking for it won’t show even with the filters cleared. I type in exactly how it reads. It just seems like the network is a outdated. Some of the processing is slower and crashes often. I do enjoy the app and will continue. I just think if a few of the things were updated that I’d enjoy it more. ### 4/5 — A very specific 4/5 rating! *2022-01-17* This app has been super helpful for me and my clients! As soon as I discovered it & figured out how to navigate the app, I was beyond thrilled. HOWEVER— I have been having a reoccurring problem. I have often noticed that my workouts are disappearing, after I spend a good amount of thoughtful time on them!!!! This has been happening whether or not I click save, when I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to automatically save!? I have to go back and check after I finalize it, just to make sure my client is getting the right thing! This needs fixed. It’s how I make my income, and I’m sure many others. We shouldn’t have to create the same workout 3 times because of an issue the app is having. Please fix!!!!! Besides, I absolutely love training using this app!!!! I don’t want to have to switch!!!! ### 4/5 — Perfect *2019-10-18, version v2.3.0* Love this app it helps me to develop a whole workout without having to write it down. I like how you can select the exercises and filter the muscle groups and the type of training. There should be a feature to make vertical/horizontal Loading group of exercises or a circuit workout. Other than that everything is good with this app. Also you need to update the exercises there’s a lot missing. There needs to be more Glutes exercise like abduction and adduction. Also there’s no y’s t’s l’s and w’s. I would also like it if there was a way to see what muscle was being used during the exercises. There’s a filter for legs and back but there’s a lot of muscles in that category. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
