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. ### 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 ### 5/5 — Excellent *2021-08-09, version 8.004* 1. Simple to use 2. Clean interface 3. Great progressive workout. 10/10 ### 5/5 — 💪🏻 *2021-02-24, version 8.004* Loving the workout! ### 5/5 — Отлично *2021-02-16* Жалко нет уведомления что сегодня тренировка или календаря ### 5/5 — Great app for getting in shape *2021-02-09, version 8.004* Great app for getting started and keeping with it! Great for beginners ### 5/5 — This is Great *2020-12-16, version 8.004* This is so GREAT!! 💯 AWESOME!!!!! ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-12-09, version 8.004* I was very skeptical of this app but it has worked great. I’m doing more pull-ups than ever before. ### 4/5 — Ok ottima, per ora funziona, ho acquistato la versione completa “life time” *2020-08-08, version 8.004* App ottima, manca solo la controparte per Apple Watch, per me fondamentale. Quando verrà implementata daró la 5a stella. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2020-07-13, version 8.004* It’s simple, fun, and it works. Best pull up app period. Only problem is that there’s no “Part 2” - so I can’t advance past intermediate. You make a great extreme version of your Pushups app (Push-ups XT)… why not an extreme version of Pullups, as well, with a specific goal of helping people get to 20 consecutive pull ups? You can do eeeeet!!!! ### 5/5 — Simple and effective *2020-06-12, version 8.004* There are no bells and whistles with Fitness22’s apps, but they really get the job done and hit the spot for me. ### 5/5 — They’re all amazing *2020-04-19, version 8.004* All of the fitness apps from this developer are just fantastic. This one is no different. I never leave reviews but there guys really deserve the full 5/5 ### 5/5 — Simple et efficace *2020-03-17* Progressive, elle peut vous permettre d’atteindre vos objectifs. Une jolie conception accompagne la chose ce qui rend l’expérience d’autant plus sympa. Manque le premier jour pour faire son Max et qu’il soit comptabilisé avec un Max tout les 15 jours pour voir la progression ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2020-03-08, version 8.004* Please get the Facebook integration working please thanks!! ### 5/5 — Geile App *2020-03-03* Jeden Cent Wert. Macht Bock ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — why needed paying to get full program? *2022-03-30, version 8.004* why needed paying to get full program? ### 1/5 — Glitches *2021-11-29, version 8.004* Attempted to buy the full experience and now the app crashes as soon as it opens. I’ve tried contacting the developer to no avail. ### 1/5 — No sirve para nada sin pagar *2021-04-21, version 8.004* Si no pagas, dura una semana. Completamente inútil ### 1/5 — Should say “from 2-20 pull-ups” *2020-08-13, version 8.004* The app requires you to be able to do 2 pull ups already on day 1 of the beginner setting. Zero support for someone who is yet to achieve their first pull-up. Misleading. Looks like it’s probably great for people who can already do the 2 though. ### 1/5 — Ploy for payment *2020-01-09, version 8.004* This crap lets you work out for 4 days before forcing you to pay to continue the 20-week program. WASTE! ### 1/5 — Reluctant payments *2019-08-28, version 8.004* There was no indication that I had to pay money for this app but when my phone asked for my fingerprint to download it. It then charged me some money but didn’t tell me how much so There is an element of trust missing for me. ### 1/5 — MZ *2019-05-10, version 8.004* Lloopo ### 1/5 — Says 0-20 means 2-20 *2018-10-28, version 8.004* If you need to build the basic strength to get to 2 pull ups, look elsewhere. I don’t like to say their promotional materials are a lie, but they are. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother. They’ll just take it back *2018-09-20, version 8.004* I bought this app. Used it for a couple years. Loved it. Then with the latest updates I no longer have access to anything more than the free trial version. There is no way to restore purchases. There is no way to go back to a version in which I can use more than 4 days of workouts. I just opened it one day and it was all gone. I bought this. One of the few apps I’ve bought. I get updates are necessary, but if you own it it should be yours and you shouldn’t be updated out of ability to use. When a new car model comes out the dealer doesn’t come and repossess your car and make you re buy your car back. Bad business. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Just started…. *2022-12-31, version 8.004* But so far, so good. This app is giving me everything I need for this type of workout. ### 5/5 — AMAZING AND SIMPLE *2022-07-15, version 8.004* Used this app to help me get into the marines and even tho I’m out. I still use it in my regular workout routine a must have, for anyone who wants to build a massive and strong back!! ### 5/5 — Still the best out there *2022-07-12, version 8.004* Runtastic shut down the lit apps and these are still bringing it.
