So close!
I tried the trial version of this app, the concept overall is fantastic and it’s sooo close to being really good, it has the base components but just needs to level up its graphics and rewards to make it even more appealing.
Right now the rewards are mostly apparel for your character, but I would love to see pages with specific badges and achievements and notifications (think Duolingo currently) that I can go back and view or look forward to. I really enjoy the rewards and reminders of their game.
Would also love to see the social component expanded too so you can make “friends” or guilds and compete for titles and things.
All in all I still really enjoyed my trial and am probably still going to sign up in the near future because I love the content. Just can’t wait to see more improvements because it is going in the right direction to make people who love games turn fitness into the same fun experience!!

Amazing
It’s an amazing app, very underrated. Can help a lot, mentally and physically.
I miss using this app
I really enjoyed using this app until about 2-3 months ago. I cannot get the app to open. I can’t even get it to show up on my phone. If I could get the app to work, I’d happily give this 5 stars.
Still not fixed 2023
Still freezing just like everyone else reported
Crashes consistently
Freezes up or crashes every other use.
I do not believe I’ll be renewing this subscription.

Feedback
I’m actually enjoying the app a lot, but I have a feedback for the UX team and/or working partners. Please use “Continue” as a button on the pop ups messages instead of “close”! Gracias! 😄
Seems fun so far but some bugs
It is everything I hoped it would be, as far as how it works and plays out, but it has some glitches. I cannot update my age because when it opens the calendar it seems to be white text on white background and I cannot use the calendar, so I am stuck being born this year. My hero page does show the hero fully, but my profile image has all of the parts of my hero misplaced so it is hair above blank space, blank skin, parts of a face and an outfit not all collected into an actual person. I'm still in the free trial and planned on upgrading but am concerned that Nerd Fitness may have ditched this app as the last update was a year ago.
As much as the concept is exciting I don't want to buy into something if the developers stopped caring about it.
As far as the quests and the main function and the intention of the app it is exactly how I would want it to work and I enjoy it. I do wish my hero's face wasn't so high up on the head though.

Couch Potato No More!
I love the app! It’s fun, has tons of great information to read, and super nerdy. It’s motivating me to make small changes and become the best version of myself!
Why won’t the videos ever open properly?
Nearly every time I open a video the entire app crashes. The program is good but the videos need to be better integrated considering the amount of money you pay to have access to the program. It makes working out extremely hard when you have to stop mid workout (I’m specifically having issues with the mobility training mission right now) where I have to stop every 30 seconds because the video freezes. Or right now the video just keeps crashing the app every time I pull it up and it crashes apple air play and everything. I’ve currently spent more time trying to fix the video than the workout would be. Please fix this. I also can rarely view the daily win video and instead have to read subtitles across a black screen to get the daily win. If the videos are that bad they should just give a transcript instead or at least in addition to the video since I can never view it.

Bug
I cannot open the app. Please fix.
Great program, horrible app
This app is clearly written in some sort of web-based cross-platform nonsense. I have to force-quit this app every morning because otherwise it doesn't respond to any input. They need to hire developers who actually know how to write real, native apps.
Irritating
I wanted to try out some nerd versions of exercise because ADHD makes it difficult to do anything that isn’t stimulating enough.
I tried the mindset field and the exercise journey both were mainly here’s an inspirational story. I don’t need inspiration to exercise. I need it to be fun and entertaining.

Please list equipment needed
Overall, it’s a pretty good app. I would like more flexibility in being able to choose workouts, even from the beginner phase, especially as I am not a beginner. Right now I’m not challenged and that’s frustrating. Their free content on their website is sometimes better and I wish it was incorporated more. One big request: please clearly list equipment needed. For example, the body weight workouts require a chin up bar which I don’t have. If I had known that, I could have either chosen a different adventure or purchased one. Overall, it’s okay. I am enjoying it for now and hope I’ll enjoy it more as I get into more challenging workouts.

App won't open
Recent update to app caused the app to no longer open.
Great app
From my experience, it’s fun and runs smoothly on my phone (iPhone 12 whatever-it’s-called, iOS14). There’s a lot of fitness apps out there, but this is the only one I’ve found that turns fitness into an RPG-style experience, which is awesome.
Creative, motivating, and easy to use
Love the new app! The UI is awesome and so simple to follow one mission after the next. It’s already helping me tackle my New Years resolution more so than on my own. It’s very motivating (and creative) to build my character as I accomplish workouts and be a part of the NF community!!
Keeps me focused!
Excellent tool to build good exercise habits. I’ve started and stopped exercise programs more times than I can count, but Journey has helped keep me motivated and focused on my goals in a fun way that keeps me excited for my next achievement!
Outstanding
Do not wait. Join up no matter what shape you are in—there is something here for you
Keeps me going
I have been using this app since it was released and it has worked like nothing else for keeping me motivated on my journey to health. I have tried gym memberships, paid coaching, diet apps, beach body, etc. and none of them have worked as well as Nerd Fitness Journey. That is because this app rewards me every day, with digital points/stuff, for keeping after it...and it doesn’t set unrealistic goals for me. If you are trying to get healthy this year, I would highly recommend downloading this app.
