Some standalone workouts and exercises are available without having the Premium membership. You could try them and then decide about a gym membership 🙏 ### 1/5 — PNCH *2020-10-25* Not upfront about payment. Should have trial period. **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear about your concerns. We have a trial period in the monthly Premium subscription. If you have any problems with it, please feel free to reach out to our Support Team — signal@pnch.app. Thanks for your feedback. ### 1/5 — You cannot control volume *2020-09-20* This app does not allow you to turn the volume down to zero. Using the main iPhone volume buttons you can drop the volume down to 1 but the phone will only vibrate if you try to silence completely. You can mute by using the apps mute button but it is not possible using volume control. Lame **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're so sorry to hear about your bad experience with PNCH. We use the standard iOS behavior to control sounds. If you have any problems with it, please tell us more — signal@pnch.app. 🙏 ### 1/5 — Free to download but not to use *2020-09-18* They get all your information to set up app, but you can’t use without paying. That should be told first. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review. We're so sorry to hear about your bad experience with PNCH. We've got a trial period to use the personal training plan without paying. ### 1/5 — Cost too much *2020-07-05* Money, money, money. All they want is money. ### 1/5 — Stuck on about yourself *2020-02-01, version 1.0.6* Can’t get past tegistration ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-01-02* No good **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We’re so sorry to hear about you bad experience with PNCH. Please tell us more what you don’t like via signal@pnch.app. ### 3/5 — Has potential *2021-01-30* This app was a featured app so I decided to go for it as I love the idea of customizable kickboxing/HIIT style workouts at home. I do enjoy the work outs so far, however there are some very basic flaws that a little bit of fine tuning could really improve. On the warm up, there is a spelling error on the “head stretch” exercise, and the voice read out then mispronounces it. Makes it seem cheap, when it would be an easy fix. Other modifications which would significantly improve the quality of the app: Using a “real” voice instead of a computerized read out. Adding music options. Adding some variation to the warm ups and cool downs (or adding a stretch workout option). The count down for rounds is also sometimes wrong (i.e. will say there are 5 rounds when there are only 3). I think if one of the app developers/programmers actually tested a few workouts, there are very easily identifiable (and likely easily fixable) ways to improve the experience for users. Having subscribers pay for a year up front (albeit not super pricey compared to other work out programs) is ok, but only if you continue to offer a quality product, readily responding to feedback and making improvements despite already having received payment. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback! We appreciate your support. We've fixed the spelling error on the "head stretch" exercise and the count down for rounds. These fixes will be available in the next update. I have no idea how we haven't seen it :) Improving your workout experience is a high priority for us, and we have some exciting updates coming soon — stay tuned! ### 4/5 — Question *2020-09-22* I just completed week 1 but the app won’t move to the next week...how do I see and start week 2 workout **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're so sorry to hear about your bad experience with PNCH. Week 2 workout will be available the following week after the first workout week. It's crucial to don't overwork in the first week. Sorry for the late response 🙏 ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thx *2023-06-29* Nice set ### 5/5 — Good boxing ts *2023-06-03* Good boxing ts ### 5/5 — Like it *2023-04-08, version 1.2.0* I recently started using the PNCH app, and I'm blown away by the engaging and effective workouts it offers.
