It definitely feels like the apps been neglected more recently - the last update was a year ago, there are tweaks that would really bolster the overall experience, and the nutrition side of it feels almost pointless now. For example, on week 7 of the senior gym guide your reps suddenly jump from 6/8/10 to 20 with no explanation, you can’t switch easily between reps versus time, the timers are hit and miss, there’s no connection to apple health, no insights into progressive load etc. I have loved this app but I think it’s time to move on, but will keep an eye out to see if it gets some love soon. ### 3/5 — Be careful *2025-11-23, version 1.2.28* I wanted to do the free trial for 7 days before committing but they charged me after a day they have told me to go through apple and refuse to help themselves. Apple did refund. ### 3/5 — Lovely workouts, app needs updates *2025-06-09, version 1.2.28* I followed Lucy a few years back and loved her content. When I was looking for a new workout program, I remembered her app. I tried it out last week and I love the workouts BUT, sadly, the app hasn’t received an update in over 11 months. As such, it is buggy and not working right. For example, I’m unable to input the weight for any exercise I do. And I’m not able to change it to lbs either. Based on this, I am not going to be able to continue my membership. A great app, but it needs some love and consistent updates so it can work properly again! I will continue to check back in periodically to see if this happens because I really do want to support Lucy’s program and do these great workouts! ### 4/5 — Made me fall in love with the gym *2025-05-29, version 1.2.28* Overall, I love the app. It makes lifting and using gym equipment very accessible to newbies. Even though I'm not a newbie anymore, i keep using this app because I like the presentation and the workout plans. I especially LOVE the ability to swap out exercises! I do find it to be buggy sometimes, though. I've sometimes noticed that the data for a particular exercise (the history, reps, description, body parts worked etc) seems like it's mapped to a completely different exercise. I haven't encountered that particular bug too often, but it's really frustrating when it does happen. Also, I really want to be able to set my preferred weight unit. The app defaults to kg and it's quite annoying to manually switch to lbs for every exercise. ### 4/5 — Perfect for Beginners *2024-07-05, version 1.2.27* Love the variety for every equipment and fitness level. A real gem for all new or non-competitive lifters! ### 5/5 — wish i could give this 100 stars *2024-05-08, version 1.2.26* I absolute ADORE the nobs app. I finished the 12-week senior home guide a couple weeks ago and started it over immediately. I love that the app doesn’t have a focus on calories or working yourself to exhaustion or how heavy a weight you’re lifting. It’s the perfect neutral movement app. I’m recovering from anorexia and this is the only movement I have opted to do in my recovery aside from walking simply because it’s so empowering and body neutral. I never finish a workout feeling badly about myself. There’s no comparison, no one yelling at you to push harder, no meal plan you’re supposed to follow as part of the program. Lucy is a rockstar for creating such an inclusive, helpful, empowering program! If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would. ### 4/5 — Great workouts and confidence builder! *2024-05-07, version 1.2.26* This app gave me the confidence to go to the weight areas in the gym! I love that the focus is not weight loss but confidence. The only negative is that I would love to have more modifications for certain movements. ### 5/5 — The best!! *2024-04-14, version 1.2.23* I’ve been using Lucy’s guides since before the app came out (and the app ever since) and it’s a staple in my routine. I love how easy it is to use, that you can switch exercises out for similar ones, the detailed instructions and videos, etc etc etc. The freedom from calorie counting and body altering language on a workout app is so refreshing. It’s helped me heal my relationship with exercise and made workouts super fun! ### 5/5 — My favorite fitness app *2024-03-12, version 1.2.23* This is hands down my favorite fitness app. I have been a fan for several years and Iove the various workouts and how detailed the instructions are with videos and written steps. The recipes are also a nice touch, but I don’t use them that often since I mainly focus on fitness. I would love to see even more additions to the levels, since I am at senior level 3 and I’ve repeated it a few times now. There are also some bugs that keep popping up and make the app crash, but their support team is very responsive and helps fix these issues. I highly recommend this app to anyone at any level looking for at home or gym workouts. ### 4/5 — Love the app, but glitches *2024-02-12, version 1.2.23* I have problems with the app crashing if I go to another app during my workout. When I go back, it relaunches again and I have to go back to the workout. Would love if this was fixed. Would love if the rep count stayed on what you set it from the first rep. If the exercise says 3x8 and I do 3x12, I hate scrolling each time. I also wish we could add notes on each workout where the version history is. But I love nobs app. It makes working out so easy. If you’re debating it, download it!!! ### 4/5 — Small quality of life updates *2024-02-06, version 1.2.20* Firstly, this app is great. The workouts make sense, are approachable and keep the gym interesting. The video AND text explanations are very clearly thought out. That said: 1) it is annoying having to select LBs every time when tracking as an American, would be great to set it once in the app and forget about it. 2) I wish I knew why the rep count changes as the program progresses. Should I be starting with as heavy as I can? Should I be doing drop sets? I recognize the programs are built with an algorithm, but it would be nice to get some of that color at the start/middle of the program to build my own knowledge. I do not use the recipes/affirmations etc so this review does not include those. Love Lucy and the Nobs team, this has truly made me re fall in love with weight training! ### 5/5 — Love it so much *2024-01-28, version 1.2.20* This app has been motivating me to exercise 3+ times a month for the last 4 months. A first! Very easy to follow and has increased my confidence in using gym equipment loads! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2024-01-24, version 1.2.20* Easy follow. Simple to use. Varied plans for each day - I hate doing the same thing over and over! Recommend for anyone, I’m currently doing the home workout program but can’t wait to start the gym program after! The only downside is that sometimes the progress bar goes up to 110% and you have a few surprise extra exercises to do! ### 5/5 — Great Gym Buddy *2024-01-03, version 1.2.20* Love this app! I enjoy the gym but always get stuck with workouts, now I don't have to worry. Great workouts adaptable for your skill level, great videos to show you how to do the exercises! Would recommend for beginners and for seasoned workout-ers! thanks! ### 4/5 — Great app but UI issues *2023-09-25, version 1.2.16* I’m really liking the app and I think it will really help me back into a healthier lifestyle. The main issue is it doesn’t work well in a small phone at all. I have an iPhone SE and a lot of the screens end up all muddled with information overlapping. During the workouts, I can see the full exercise video. During the circuit, I can’t see them at all. I can chose how to track - weight or body weight- because the information is overlapping and I can’t click either. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2023-09-05, version 1.2.16* I love the way you can work through the different levels on nobs, it really helps with progressing at the gym. The app is really easy to use and is so much better than any other fitness app I have downloaded. ### 5/5 — This app changed my life *2023-09-04, version 1.2.16* I am no longer scared of the gym!! I am one of those people who just finds the gym a bit boring and overwhelming when I’m on my own, there’s only so many instagram posts I can save for workout ideas and I feel so uninspired… having NOBS gives me structure and confidence. Love it!! ### 5/5 — Supportive and flexible! *2023-09-04, version 1.2.16* After taking a break from exercise this was the perfect fitness app. It’s nothing like other fitness apps I’ve used. I love that I can adjust how many times a week I will work out and also the clips to guide you through exercises are super helpful and make me feel more confident. Being able to choose alternative exercises is also a game changer! ### 5/5 — J’obsessed with this app. *2023-09-04, version 1.2.16* Honestly haven’t experienced a better fitness app that makes me feel empowered and that everything is achievable. As a gorlie who gets overwhelmed by the gym this gives me structure, confidence and ready to take on the weight section. I encourage everyone to give it a go as you too will become J’obsessed. Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hopefully fixed soon! *2022-07-28, version 1.1.25* A real shame as love Nobs content and really wanted to get on board with the app. Constant crashing and not able to track workouts. ### 1/5 — I would be cautious about the temptation of a trial *2022-03-15, version 1.1.19* I was tempted to try this app before committing especially as they have widely offered a 7- day FREE trial. Even to the point of going through on a video to state cards will not be charged. Yet come to creating an account, shock horror the charge instantly comes after sign up and no notification regarding a 7-day free trial. Their terms and conditions clearly states they do not offer refunds at all so now I’m in a process to try and get my money back from Apple. If you are interested in the app regardless, go for it but if you are tempted to go for the trial first I would perhaps make sure you pick the lower price option first so if you can’t get a refund it’ll only be £11 not higher like I have been stung with currently. I can’t comment on the app itself and this has left a bad taste in my mouth so I will be looking into apps. ### 1/5 — Nothing more than a Recipe and Workout App *2022-01-10, version 1.1.13* I’ve struggled to write this as I’ve never provided a review that isn’t positive on Apple before but I’ve written to the Team to understand the USP of Nobs and how it’s any different in order to justify the monthly cost. I tried for the month and honestly I would r waste your ££. Everything this app provides you can get from Insta/TikTok and or YouTube for free. It is just an app which has recipes and videos on workouts with zero science or guidance behind any of it ### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work *2021-10-28, version 1.1.0* I was so excited for this app when it came out. I downloaded it the day it launched and immediately fell in love. However, I only got to use it for maybe 2 weeks before it started crashing mid workout. I would restart the app, go back in to where I left off, and it would immediately crash again. This happens every single time I go into the app. I can’t even make it through the warm up at this point. It’s so disappointing. At this point I’m paying for the app to sit on my Home Screen. Tech support has been really responsive and I know they are doing their best. I appreciate what they have done so far. I just wish this could be resolved. Even after the most recent update I am still experiencing these crashes. I would cancel my subscription but I joined when the app launched and was able to get a discount. I wouldn’t be able to afford this app without that discount so I keep the subscription hoping that the issue will be resolved. Lucy, please help :( ### 2/5 — Buggy app *2024-04-28, version 1.2.26* Doesn’t seem to be able to tell whether or not I have done an exercise. Sometimes I skip one if I’m short on time and it still says 100% complete. Sometimes it will bug out and I have to go back and re-record my sets because they haven’t registered. ### 2/5 — Still glitchy; love when it works *2023-05-03, version 1.2.9* Love the concept of the app but the glitches just really detract from the experience. Was hoping this go around would Be better. But not seeing that just yet. ### 2/5 — Good content but very glitchy *2022-08-15, version 1.1.27* Great content, the videos and guides are really good. But it’s very glitchy, crashes mid work out and doesn’t save the weights when you try and track them. From reading other reviews it seems this has been going on a while without being fixed which is disappointing. ### 2/5 — Great idea, poor functioning app *2022-08-04, version 1.1.25* Lots of technical bugs that make the app frustrating to use. I flagged to customer support over 6 weeks ago and no progress on a fix. A shame because the app content itself is very good ### 2/5 — I want to love it but there are too many bugs. *2022-06-21, version 1.1.24* I like the concept and I did really enjoy the workouts… but only when I was able to do them. The app crashed frequently, which was annoying but I could get over that. However, the app has logged me out and now will not let me log in at all. It says that it does not identify the user, even though I have been using the correct log- in information. The support team replied to me quickly but their only advice was to close the app and try restarting it, which obviously I did before contacting them. I’m really fed up with how the functionality of this app as it isn’t cheap. Also, I’ve had other bugs like my workout data vanishing, the exercise timer not working etc. I’m going to cancel my subscription because the app shouldn’t be unusable for £12.99 a month. ### 2/5 — It’s alright *2022-02-05, version 1.1.14* This app isn’t nearly worth the money she’s asking when every fitness class or recipe you could ever dream of exists online literally for free. The affirmations are not nuanced and fake woke. The whole premise is how do I make quick money while I’m insta famous. Hehe. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love!! *2026-01-27, version 1.2.28* This app makes me feel good and keeps me in shape. I love the variety and the progressive training program. ### 5/5 — Underrated! *2026-01-02, version 1.2.28* This is the app that finally got me into the gym/fitness and I always come back to it. I appreciate the structured workouts, clear instructions and videos showing how to do the exercise. I especially like being able to swap out an exercise and knowing which muscles I’m supposed to be feeling an exercise in! ### 5/5 — Made me a gym girly *2025-09-26, version 1.2.28* Been using nobs on/off for nearly three years, I always come back to it, I like the work out plans, the times and it just feels like I’ve got a mate as a personal trainer. ### 5/5 — Uncomplicated and effective *2025-05-14, version 1.2.28* I always come back to this app time and time again, always straightforward and approachable when there’s been a gap in training, while still being challenging enough to see results. ### 5/5 — OG user back again, Nobs is the best *2025-04-24, version 1.2.28* I originally started nobs with the home workout guide from Lucy back during lockdown 2020. I was part of the first bunch who downloaded the nobs app when it launched and loved it. I’m now back on it years later as it’s the most sensible and easy to follow workout app out there. I wanted to do 2 workouts a week but every other app would only allow me to do 3-5 (I don’t have time for that many!). Lucy’s instructions are clear and the guides got no circuit or superset (gym etiquette is real here!) means I can get in and get out of the gym with no fuss. I’m beyond grateful to have found Lucy on socials years ago, she’s been giving my confidence in the gym ever since then ☺️ ### 5/5 — loveee this app!! *2024-12-08, version 1.2.28* Such great plans with options for all levels and to fit all schedules!! Keeps me motivated and regular at the gym without making me feel guilty 🫶🏼🫶🏼 have converted all my friends xx ### 5/5 — Just yes *2024-12-07, version 1.2.28* Aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate app with endless workout options and silly little encouraging features. Loveee ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2024-11-21, version 1.2.28* Love this app, so easy to use and the workouts are great! ### 5/5 — Brilliant life affirming and positive fitness app *2024-08-09, version 1.2.28* I love the Nobs app. I was an absolute complete beginner at the gym and Nobs has made it possible to become confident in the gym and improve my fitness, strength and well-being. I really appreciate the lack of before/after and diet culture content. It’s like a cheerleader in your phone. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS APP *2024-07-22, version 1.2.28* I just want to say how much I LOVE this app! It is the longest I’ve stuck to anything new, ever. I’m finally getting into a routine and getting rid of my silly disordered eating habits. I have just completed the junior guide and feel so much stronger and confident in myself, I’m so happy and grateful to Nobs. I’m literally recommending this app to anyone that will listen, it’s so easy to use and has helped conquer the gym nerves.
