Even when I am home with all of my gear this app helps me get the sweat I am looking for, concentrate on technique and get fit too. While on the round with weighted gloves and ankle weights or resistance bands it was great. Now! To get to what needs to be added and fixed! 1. More techniques! Literally! Adding small things such as back fist versus spinning back fist is helpful or even adding Block Rear Roundhouse because those kicks get thrown too! Not just the lead round house. Lead or Rear Vertical knee, side knee strikes as diagonal knee (which depending on your stance is either). Back kick versus spinning back kick, cause some times you’ve just gotta be quick about it. Adding in side kicks as well because it’s no where on the list or even hook kicks from both left and right (lead and rear). 2. Work while the Lock Screen is on or black! I get nice and warmed up then boom! Black screen and nothing getting called out until I take a glove off to open the app, only to have a second to get my glove back on then miss two combinations minimum. 3. Let music play while using the app please? Too often I want my music playing and as soon as the workout starts, I hear just the bag, me breathing per strike, and the call outs but not my music. Sometimes that metal with call outs just makes those hits faster, harder, and gets me stronger. Other than that? That’s it! 4. Hope to see a new update that gives more techniques and the option to go more than just 10 rounds! 5. Support that actually listens to the users and takes our concerns into consideration to get this app fixed. ### 3/5 — false advertising *2023-12-09* dont have combo creator or the mma list of workouts above ### 3/5 — Decent but needs some big improvements *2023-02-06, version 2.9* Some already mentioned by other reviewers but they could stand to allow you to play music using Spotify or Apple Music while using the app. The combo creator is cool but it doesn’t let you add specific punches like jabs to the body or cross to the body. They’re also lacking a roll to the left and right. They could make it easier to add the same punches in a combination. When minimizing the app it seems to pause it. ### 3/5 — Good App- doesn’t let you play music *2022-12-07* Excellent app for beginners to advanced users. However, you cannot play music in the background. This was mentioned in the app description, which is one of the reasons I purchased it. As a result, it gets three stars. Otherwise, a fantastic app. Please resolve this issue, and I will increase the rating to 5 stars. ### 4/5 — Great app and needs more *2022-09-16* This app is the best app I have on my phone to say the least especially when you’re on the go and don’t have time to go to a boxing / kickboxing gym. Even when I am home with all of my gear this app helps me get the sweat I am looking for, concentrate on technique and get fit too. While on the round with weighted gloves and ankle weights or resistance bands, this app is still amazing. Now! To get to what needs to be added! 1. More techniques! Literally! Adding small things such as back fist versus spinning back fist is helpful or even adding Block Rear Roundhouse because those kicks get thrown too! Not just the lead round house.

Hope to see a new update that gives more techniques and the option to go more than just 10 rounds! ### 4/5 — Good but could use some improvement *2022-08-30, version 2.9* Love using this app for my solo boxing workouts but I do have some recommendations on how it could be much better, at least for my purposes - allow for playing of music from other apps in background - allow to operate while screen is locked - allow for more punches in the customizer, especially punches to the body - more than 10 rounds please!! Thanks, coach! ### 4/5 — Used to be awesome (update) *2021-10-12, version 2.8.9* I used to use this app everyday. It now crashes every time and is useless. I am fairly certain this started after updating to 14.8 iOS. The latest update fixed it. The only thing that could make this better is to be able to play music and/or be able to run the app in the background. ### 4/5 — Good Job! *2021-02-12* I like this app as I like Jason’s content on YouTube so far. Would be nice if one could create combos with techniques to the body for example 2B or Jab to the Body. Otherwise really good for doing home workouts. ### 3/5 — Great App for Home Training Especially for the Price. *2021-01-21, version 2.8.6* This is a great app and I have used it for a couple of years now on my Android device. When I migrated to IOS I paid again for the premium version because it has done me quite a bit of good. The major issue that keeps this from being 5 stars here on IOS like it is on other platforms is that when the calls start, it closes or stops any background music apps that you have playing audio. This means if I want to use this on my iPhone, I have to have another device connected to play music as well. Still a great app, but needs a bit more work on apple platforms. ### 3/5 — Love the app, could be better *2021-01-12, version 2.8.6* This is a great boxing trainer app. Worth the investment if you like training on your own and would like guided combos round by round. Some improvements I recommend are allowing Apple Music (or any other music app) to play while using the app. I also think it would be great if the app would still work while my phone screen is locked. Keep up the good work! ### 3/5 — Add body punches to combo creator *2020-09-16, version 2.8.6* Very good app but we need body punches in combo creator as it will allow us to have a wider range of combos with the included body strikes instead of just having head strikes there ### 3/5 — No body shots on custom combos *2020-09-12, version 2.8.6* I’d like to rate this higher but I can’t seem to add body shots like 1-body, 2-body, etc to the custom combos. ### 4/5 — Awesome idea *2020-04-11, version 2.8.3* Its perfect for home drills and pad work option is great too! It does cut out somewhere through the rounds and just goes blank, timer is still going but audio and visuals just stop.... please fix ### 3/5 — Автоблокировка экрана выключает приложение *2020-04-10* Во время тренировки включается автоблокировка экрана iPhone (7) и приложение перестаёт работать. Попробуйте снять блокировку телефона в боксерских перчатках :))) Никто не пользуется этим приложением, если такая детская проблема до сих пор не устранена? ### 2/5 — Screen lock issue *2020-03-31, version 2.8.3* This app would work great if everytime your screen locked it didn’t stop working. Even if you set your screen to lock for 5 mins, you’ll be half way through a round and the AI coach will stop calling out, very hard to maintain focus and momentum. If there was a fix for that then I would rate the app highly. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stopped working after iOS update *2021-10-04, version 2.8.8* Unfort keeps crashing. Was great when it worked:( ### 1/5 — App does not keep screen on-useless *2020-10-28, version 2.8.6* Screen turns off and the app is useless. Similar apps keep the screen awake. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-09-29, version 2.8.6* Switches off when screen locks, pointless and frustrating ### 1/5 — Respect for Jason, Horrible App *2020-09-07, version 2.8.6* Doesn’t take the time to fix simple issues like freezing on the lock screen. Can’t listen to music while the timer is on I want every penny back ### 1/5 — app cannot be used after update *2020-05-31* app cannot be used after update ### 1/5 — Same issues *2019-05-18, version 2.6* App used to be good years ago. Then an update removed the ability to listen to music in the background. That was eventually fixed. Now we are back to square 1 where music is again disabled. Unfortunately you cannot revert back in itunes to old app versions anymore. Please fix this bug, again. ### 1/5 — Can’t play music in the background *2018-06-29, version 1.7.3* Needs an update! ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2018-06-05, version 1.7.3* Absolute trash of an app - screen doesn’t stay illuminated, music doesn’t play, combos are boring, warning bell doesn’t work, no guidance on break v round, and the instructor is low energy ### 1/5 — Not much content for the money *2017-11-17, version 1.7.3* I'm assuming a lot more is going to be added to this app because as it stands I have apps that cost a lot less/free that have more in them. And would you please add a bell to indicate the end of a round. Seeing as no additional content has been added and the end of round buzzer and bell seem totally random I’m changing my review to 1 star. Mate seriously this is robbery. Deleted the app worst value ever ### 1/5 — Crashes after less than a minute *2017-08-24, version 1.7.3* Start the exercise and after less than a minute it stops. Open the app and have to start over again. Waste of money ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good app for hitting a bag with punch commands *2024-10-17, version 2.9.2* This is the best app I could find with verbal punch commands while hitting the bag. The instructor calls out things like 1, 2 body, 3, and you punch accordingly. The instructor has a good voice for it. You can make it faster or slower with more complex combos if you want. I’m very happy with the app. ### 5/5 — Needs to run in background *2023-11-05, version 2.9.2* Great app, just wish it would run when phone is locked. Will this ever happen ? ### 5/5 — This is good because... *2020-11-19, version 2.8.6* This is good because not only you gain strenght while doin this but you also learn new combos and learn how to fight, it's really good and this app is worth my 5 dollars😁👍 ### 5/5 — The best boxing app *2020-11-07, version 2.8.6* I use this app all the time. Jason has the best apps and videos for sale. I own all of them. This app helps me train when I can’t make it to the gym. ### 5/5 — Name a better alternative to live rounds *2020-08-23, version 2.8.6* I see a lot of negative write ups but this is a small time app giving people who want to level up a chance. Whether they’re in lockdown or just can’t afford to be coached. I’ve been through several apps like this and Jason and his team have done the best job. So before you complain, put in the work, stop using bugs as an excuse to stop and better yourself before criticising others. Loving the combos, they work for real. ### 5/5 — Best App ever *2020-04-20* I was searching for something to help me improve boxing on the internet but nothing helped but this app really helped me its so amazing jt is a great coach i follow him on youtube he has great boxing knowledge i my self have competed in many amature fights i can say this app is no less than a coach ### 5/5 — excellent! *2020-04-08* I love this app. I‘m not creative enough to think about the different combos on my own, so this coach works perfect for my workout; shadowboxing or heavy bag eitherways. Good way to improve your technique and stamina. ### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for *2020-01-28, version 2.8.3* Calls out combos. Only thing I’d like to see would be to have my own music underneath instead of just silence. ### 5/5 — Very good *2019-06-22* But It has problem. It doesn't support landscape mode. My ipad is 10.5inch ipad(ios 12.3.1) Plz fix it asap ### 5/5 — Gabo *2019-05-13, version 2.5* I got the app a few years ago , never use it because I stop training , today I open it and started looking around and I got into the mitts section and I love it I open my iPad and started using it , I love it , like always you deliver a Great quality product --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
