I liked the workout. I chose the very beginner level. It alternated between full arm, a rest period, then from the elbows. It counted down to get started so that you had a chance to get ready. It also sounded tones for the last 5 seconds. That part was good. What I didn’t like was that it was only a 3 day trial and you had to purchase more (monthly or yearly options were given) to continue. I try to check aps before I download them for any costs involved. I must have missed this one. Deleting the ap ### 2/5 — Not explanatory *2019-01-27* This app does not explain very well how to use and did not provide a pre workout overview so I didn’t know what I was doing. Additionally, the app does disable power down, so seconds into my first workout the screen was getting out the shutting down. What a terrible first impression I have. ### 4/5 — Funktioniert nicht mehr *2018-07-09, version 1.1.2* Keine Reaktion oder Support . ### 5/5 — 👍 *2018-06-13, version 1.1.2* This app is a perfect app for beginners thinking about exercising and utilizing the specific exercise methods that the app has. The exercises are easy and straight forward to understand. ### 5/5 — Good *2018-06-13, version 1.1.2* Great app! It helps you get into shape with amazing workouts and a calendar log to keep track. ### 5/5 — Great *2018-05-13, version 1.1.2* Plank might seem like an easy exercise, buyt it's actually pretty challenging. I'm loving this app so far! ### 5/5 — Feel the burn! *2018-05-04* I love using apps to work out at home. This one is really good, since I wanted to improve my muscular tone and that's exactly what it does. :) ### 5/5 — Have a perfect body with this app. *2018-04-30* "I don't have the time to goto the gym!" I used that excuse for years. But after finding this app that lets you workout anywhere, my excuse became invalid. Lost 5lbs in two weeks doing a workout everyday! ### 5/5 — Helpful! *2018-04-19* I liked the idea of working out and trying to build up my strength, but hated the idea of the gym. Problem solved with this app! Pick whatever workout you're in the mood for and go! Simple and fun. ### 5/5 — Good app *2018-04-17* If you're looking for a timer that keeps track of progress and lays out a plan, then this will do. I wish there was a 3-second countdown to the timer starting after hitting "Timer" just to take away that scramble between hitting it and forming the plank formation. Thanks for app!!! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2018-04-10* Easy to use. Good way of keeping up with what you have to do each day. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2018-04-03, version 1.1.2* Planking is a hugely underrated method of exercise, and it happens to be my favorite. This app has allowed me to enjoy it even more. ### 5/5 — Great workout app *2018-03-28* This app can help you become self-sufficient exercise-wise. You can learn what it takes to exercise, and you can do it yourself! ### 5/5 — Fun and easy exercise routine *2018-03-21, version 1.0.9* Great app. Fun and easy to use. Makes exercising more fun and great videos to help you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pagare 2 volte *2021-04-21, version 1.1.4* Se ho pagato la versione full anni fa, perché ora devo ripagare un abbonamento per qualcosa che già avevo pagato ????!!!!! Non ditemi miglioramenti, perché l’app non è cambiata di una virgola !! Se non che adesso le funzioni sono bloccate e devo fare un abbonamento per sbloccarle !!!! ### 1/5 — You only get 2 days *2020-02-22, version 1.1.4* What a waste ### 1/5 — Not for us fat folks *2019-05-04, version 1.1.4* The weight only goes up to 220.0 pounds. Yeah I know I’m overweight but that’s why I wanted to try this app. Now I’m out the money because measurements aren’t accurate. What a shame. ### 1/5 — Not free *2018-07-29, version 1.1.2* Please be honest and tell us that this is not a free app before we download it. ### 1/5 — Not Free *2018-06-30, version 1.1.2* It would have been nice to know that this was a trial app for 3 whole days. What a waste. Should have just sold it in the App Store instead of treating it like a free app. ### 1/5 — RIP off *2018-04-27* Utter garbage. Won’t go past day 2. Waste of money **Developer response:** Hi Champs, I hope your problem is solved. If not please contact us at at lupugabriel@gmail.com. Please try also Restore Purchases from Store page. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Cancel *2017-10-11, version 1.0.4* I want to cancel my subscription. The app says to go to the App Store and the App Store says to go to the App. It shouldn’t be so difficult. ### 1/5 — Only two day free *2017-08-06, version 1.0.3* I can't use it after two days no free 7 day trial ### 1/5 — Free only for 7 days then auto $2 per month *2017-05-14, version 1.0.2* Please remove the word FREE from the title of your app. It is a scam !! ### 1/5 — Buggy as hell! *2016-09-28* The rolling menus to select things like height/weight/times/reps etc are all broken under iOS 10. It's virtually impossible to create a custom workout without being able to see the menu wheels!! Too buggy to be useful, even when using the paid version. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good good! *2018-07-24, version 1.1.2* I needed to lose a few pounds and thanks to Plank I've done it in a very healthy way.

Five stars! ### 5/5 — Good app *2018-07-02* I love this app! It lets you keep track of how much weight you have lost and it gives you free workouts to do. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2018-06-14* I'm loving the weight tracker feature. I've seen the numbers drop while I'm looking (and feeling) prettier. Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Good app *2018-06-13, version 1.1.2* These workout routines work really well for busy people like myself. This app is very nice! ### 5/5 — Helpful *2018-06-13* I want to improve my physical condition and, since I don't have much time to go to the gym, using this app has been really helpful. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
