### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2026-01-11, version 8.004*

This app is very barebones. To a point where it leaves me wondering what “science” this program is based on, if any.

The program lets you do a few sets of pull-up repetitions on 3 days per week. However, it seems to only ask you to do these sets once per day, which seems too little for any real impact. They do not state what they base these recommendations on. But suffice it to say that if you ask an AI for pull-up training recommendations then there will be way more sessions on exercise days.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-12-09, version 8.004*

I love this app and have to give it 5*s, yes there is a cost but its very small £2.99 for lifetime access is worth it and the developers deserve the money. My only gripe is you cant edit the rest timer, sometimes 1.30min is just too long (although you can skip it) . Would love for you to start producing a full blown gym app with the same sort of design and formula.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2025-09-11, version 8.004*

App helps with pull ups

### 5/5 — Very good

*2025-01-16*

Simple but effective. Love it!

### 5/5 — Does the job

*2024-11-22, version 8.004*

Simple app  which does the job. The rest is up to you.

### 2/5 — Where is the training?

*2024-09-26, version 8.004*

Beginning plan. Week 1 day 1…. Do 6 pulls ups. Umm, if I could do 6 pull ups I would not be using a training app. Lol

### 1/5 — Not for beginners: deceptive app description

*2024-09-22*

When selecting a programme, you choose how many pull-ups you can already do: the minimum is 2 (not 0 how the app description claims).
The first day is just: do 3 sets of 2 pull-ups. It won’t teach you how to get your first pull-up or how to modify the program if you can’t do a regular pull-up.
If you can get one pull-up, you already probably know how to increase your reps. If you don’t know how to do a pull-up, you won’t learn it here.
This App is useless.

### 5/5 — Realistic Progression

*2024-07-18, version 8.004*

Had this app for years but this is actually the first time I’ve stuck with it for a bit as I’ve wanted to focus on pull-ups/chin-ups specifically after losing so much ground over the last year and resuming my climbing. So far, the progression is actually realistic and slow because many apps I’ve found, it’s like they think you can gain strength and muscle within 24 hours and I’d get discouraged doing the same week or day over and over. Not this app. For me, when it says a number of reps for pull-ups, I do that number of reps, rest 10 seconds, and then also do that number of reps as chin ups before moving on in order to get both.

### 5/5 — Really helpful

*2023-10-13, version 8.004*

I’m enjoying this app as it has helped me to go from almost no pull-ups to 17 so far.

### 5/5 — Simple but effective.

*2023-02-03, version 8.004*

It does one thing very well, it provides a structure to gradually increase your pull up ability.
