App doesn’t work
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback. If the app itself is installed, all 11 included games are already part of the download and available automatically. Only additional Premium content may need to be downloaded separately afterwards. If something is not working correctly on your device, please contact us at support@plankpad.com so we can help you quickly.

The latest upgrade is lousy.
If there was only I way I could get rid of the last update. 🤦♂️
What’s up with the flashing background?
Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback. This issue was solved the day after it was discovered. Kind regards from the Plankpad team!
Love workouts!!!
Love but want more challenges
I’ve done some of the workouts and games but cannot get my phone to calibrate correctly with the board. Any suggestions on where to put the phone for this to work properly?
Fun, but would like to edit preferences
Awesome product, calibration ability?
Not working after update
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry to hear that you haven't had a good experience with the app so far. We would like to help you solve the problem so that you can finally use the Plankpad properly. If the app displays a synchronization error message, there are usually three possible causes: 1. The Plankpad with the smartphone must be aligned exactly straight when you press the start button at the beginning of the game. 2. The app only works correctly on an original Plankpad. Synchronization cannot be guaranteed with similar balance boards. 3. In rare cases, the gyro sensor or accelerometer of the smartphone is defective or deactivated. Kind regards, Your Plankpad Team
Makes planking fun
Thanks for helping me reach my fitness goals!!
Good app
Response from developer
In the old app, you could only select the workout duration — the exercises were indeed random after that. In the new app, however, you can enjoy 54 structured workouts based on over 150 exercises, 3 different 30-day challenges, and much more! Each workout is designed with a clear focus, so you can train more effectively and stay motivated. Kind regards from the Plankpad team!
A fun as planking can get 🤣
* Self calibrates
* Cute variety of games (with sound and vibration)
* Exactly what I expected
* Motivates me to plank longer - which is the whole point!!!
Works as Advertised
Great idea needs better app and game development
The app unfortunately is mediocre.
The games (the main attraction to PlankPad besides just doing planks without the pad/app) are deficient.
In my app there is no sound effects or music in the games. The graphics are unfortunately at the basest level. And they managed to somehow NOT “gamify”the games.
It seems like you just pick easy, normal, hard modes, And the game just keeps going (say shooting astroids in the asteroid game) until you decide to stop the timer. There isn’t a time limit or a life meter. There should be achievements and progress via levels, badges, and other offerings as your go through a game’s levels.
Again this is a great idea but executed only decently or ok.
And this is a problem with the part of the fitness word attempting to get in to games, I think it is a great space and it makes total sense for our health and fitness regimes to make gaming a workout, but PlankPad fails to be a game changer. It doesn’t seem like a better choice than say Fruit Ninja. Arguably Fruit Ninja is significantly funner as were the Wii fitness games a decade ago with a similar plank system for games. And really because the PlankPad games are so mediocre it really does just feel like you’re working out. Which is fine, but again defeats the purpose of trying to make folks work out longer and more often through gaming.
I work out 5-6 times a week already, and was hoping to add this for fun during my workouts, but the novelty has largely run out within this first week with the PlankPad app and its games. I will still use PlankPad instead of just doing normal planks since I have it, but it is a wasted opportunity.
And hate to say it, because I loved the idea so much and backed it immediately on KS, but it is not worth the money. Unless you’re looking to do planks slightly more comfortably than you already do on your floor.
Hope they keep learning and improve the games and app. I love forward to seeing updates in the future.
