IT DOES NOT!!! Very frustrating to say the least. I’m just trying to keep on track and to document what I am doing but the ads get stuck and it looks like I’m missing days. Ugh!! Working out should not be frustrating too. ### 4/5 — Great app *2025-05-28, version 2.2.1* Great app. ### 4/5 — Does what it says *2025-03-07, version 2.0.0* Finished the challenge. Wish there was a next step. ### 4/5 — Have app visible all the time. *2025-01-05, version 1.1.0* Great app. Need to keep app visible during exercise and go to black. ### 3/5 — Get rid of ads *2024-08-16, version 1.1.0* Or at least make it purchasable to get rid of them. ### 3/5 — Useful, but not quite there *2024-05-27, version 1.1.0* The voice and the timer don’t match. ### 5/5 — Phenomenal app *2024-03-31* I just finished my first 30 day challenge and I absolutely loved using this app! The fact that you can do as many practice planks as you want, makes it next level. The only changes I would recommend is units of five for the practice timer and a way to keep track of how many you’ve done. Overall, I cannot recommend this app enough! ### 5/5 — New to planking! *2024-03-16, version 1.1.0* The easiest of apps to follow. No confusion - it does what it says. I love the half way countdowns! ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2024-03-02, version 1.1.0* Needs the option to synch with a friend to see their progress and you can see yours as well on a different phone. ### 3/5 — The ads are super annoying *2024-01-09, version 1.1.0* Right when you are trying to hit the complete button for your daily exercise, advertisements pop up. At times you hit them on accident. Other times you aren’t given an option to close them. Super annoying ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads, ads, ads … *2026-07-18, version 2.2.4* The frequency and placement of the ads makes the app almost impossible to use. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-06-05, version 2.2.1* Ads won’t go away to allow you to continue after your plank. Unusable. ### 1/5 — Not a 5 min plank *2025-03-20, version 2.0.0* I downloaded this app to do the 5 min plank challenge. The time intervals aren’t going up like it said. The time stays the same for many days in a row, on day 16 the time is just 1:45. Poor app. ### 1/5 — Timing is wrong *2024-09-25, version 1.1.0* 1m 30s session timed separately as actually being well over 2m 30s. Makes the app pointless. ### 1/5 — Hard to complete the day *2024-08-21, version 1.1.0* As soon as the timer expires, an ad pops up and I can’t get it to disappear to complete the day. ### 1/5 — Ads! *2024-05-24, version 1.1.0* I enjoy the app but the ads that pop up are unbearable, therefore I am deleting the app 7 days in. Sometimes the ads come on the screen before I can even click the complete button. Today this happened and there was no way to exit the ad. ### 1/5 — Constant, Long forced advertising *2024-03-19, version 1.1.0* This too-simple app is purely abusive with forced advertising. Save yourself frustration and just use your phone’s timer. Hold a plank for these lengths for 2 days each: -20 sec -30 sec -45 sec -1:00 Then 3 days each: -1:15 -1:30 -1:45 -2:00 That roughly 3 weeks. Your core will be good. Blood pressure likely decreased. ### 1/5 — App locks out *2024-02-06, version 1.1.0* For longer times the phone screens locks and you don’t see timer or hear instructions ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2024-02-03, version 1.1.0* Jumps up far tdrze was atop quickly it’s dangerous ### 1/5 — Can’t customise the timer for the challenge bit *2023-05-23, version 1.1.0* Would be great if it was possible to customise the challenge section. You can customise your timer but then it doesn’t get transferred to the challenge so anything done on the timer doesn’t count towards the challenge. Annoying. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — iklan *2026-05-13, version 2.2.4* gak masalah sih ada iklan, tapi setelah ditunggu sampai habis tombol close nya (X) tidak bisa di tekan. jadi gimana ya. akhirnya forced closed riwayatnya tidak tercatat. ### 5/5 — All I needed. *2025-05-27, version 2.2.1* And ads allow rest betwen sections. Nice ### 5/5 — Phenomenal app *2025-02-11, version 2.0.0* I just finished my first 30 day challenge and I absolutely loved using this app! The fact that you can do as many practice planks as you want, makes it next level. The only changes I would recommend is units of five for the practice timer and a way to keep track of how many you’ve done. Overall, I cannot recommend this app enough! The update is absolutely wonderful! Been using this for a year, now, so impressed with the new update! Thank you for making it easier to track everything! ### 5/5 — Straightforward *2024-09-04, version 1.1.0* Super simple and straightforward. Nice way to stay on track. ### 5/5 — Needed a good plank app *2024-08-22, version 1.1.0* This app is great for keeping my planking on schedule.

Shared this with our Everybody Bootcamp as it’s included in our basic warm up session 👊🏼😎 ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2024-06-06, version 1.1.0* Perfect. Simple and practical. ### 5/5 — Does what it says *2024-06-03, version 1.1.0* Just what I was looking for to get better at plank ### 5/5 — Free & fab challenge *2024-05-18, version 1.1.0* Love this app. Needed something rather than sit ups great alternative if you have a bad back or neck ### 5/5 — Nice *2024-04-16, version 1.1.0* Love it !!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
