### 3/5 — Keep to its purpose

*2026-08-09*

I about have enjoyed this app for a year. It’s clean, simple, efficient. Tracks your pushups without constant bells and whistles going off. You go at your own pace.

Recently some upgrades happened. Nothing wrong with that, however now this a Bible verse sitting at the bottom of the app. I have to stare at it every time I’m doing my workout. I workout to escape the religious trauma that has ruined my life. I would like to see an option to delete or edit it to other beliefs  mantras or script.

### 4/5 — Video

*2026-07-01, version 2.8.6*

This is a GREAT app the only thing and I do mean only as in 1 thing is that is won’t count my pushups so I have to add them myself. The video thing won’t even video. Fix that and it’s a 5 star!

### 2/5 — Easy to cheat

*2026-06-27, version 2.8.6*

You can literally just spam the button and it’ll give you pushups so everyone on the leaderboard is probably fake and don’t actually do the pushups but rather just clicked the button. Ruins the whole purpose. There’s not even a legit like way to verify that your not cheating

### 3/5 — Pay

*2026-05-29, version 2.8.6*

Was better now I have to pay for upgrades 🥲

### 4/5 — Push fit review

*2026-02-27*

Such a motivational app! I used to be a struggler doing barely 1 a day now I can’t do 25 without breaking a sweat.

**Developer response:** From barely 1 to 25 is awesome progress! Thank you for sharing, this is exactly why I built the app 💪

### 4/5 — Functional great but intermittent issues

*2026-02-09, version 2.8.3*

I’m using the app to track push-ups and it does a great job of that. But the app has intermittent issues with music playback, voice guide and the watch app.

### 3/5 — I like it but…

*2026-01-29, version 2.8.3*

…the face recognition only counts 75% of my pushups which is pretty disappointing. I bet I’m doing something wrong but I have no idea how to figure how?

### 3/5 — Good but for under counting

*2025-10-16, version 2.8.2*

Superb until you start to trust the count.  Of my 40 it counted 34. Not fun when stretching for a recent best.

### 4/5 — My review

*2025-07-20, version 2.8.2*

Need to make a mode where you can’t press the button

### 5/5 — Insane

*2025-07-18, version 2.8.2*

Insane

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-07-10, version 2.8.2*

Super easy to use. The face recognition setting works best. Also links to Apple health so I can track every workout in Oura

### 5/5 — Push

*2025-07-09, version 2.8.2*

Excellent

### 3/5 — Okay, not great.

*2025-06-28*

The proximity sensor doesn’t work at all. The face detection seems to mostly work alright, except you have to be staring right at your phone the entire time for reps to count. This is annoying because you can’t look up without it missing a rep. Proximity sensor would be more useful if it actually worked. Makes you watch an ad to see your calendar/history.

For such a simple app/function, disappointing to just have it as a bunch of cash-grab duplicates

**Developer response:** Honest feedback, thank you. You are right that face detection needs to actually see your face, that is the tradeoff for counting without touching anything, and proximity is the weaker of the two which is why face detection is the default now. On the ads, the free app pays for itself with them, and Pro is a one time purchase with no ads and no subscription if you would rather skip them. Reach out through the feedback option in the Settings tab and I will see what I can do for you.

### 5/5 — I like this app

*2025-05-10*

Это самое лучшее приложение которое я когда нибудь видел

**Developer response:** Спасибо 😊 Thank you for the review!

### 5/5 — Best app I have ever seen!!!

*2025-05-10, version 2.8.2*

.

### 2/5 — Reps

*2025-04-08, version 2.8.2*

It is a great design for the app, but everyone I would push-up, the rep would count two more than I actually did. It’s gaslighting me.

### 5/5 — Great Push-up Tracker

*2025-03-21, version 2.8.2*

Hands down the BEST push up tracker I’ve used ever. The “Stronger” song by Kanye is a nice little touch as well. You should make a pull up counter app too!

### 5/5 — Bien mais

*2025-03-15*

Très bien mais le consepte de toucher le téléphone avec son nez et quand même dur

**Developer response:** Merci 😊 You do not have to touch it with your nose. Open the Settings tab, tap Counting, and choose Face Detection. The camera counts your reps and you never touch the phone.

### 1/5 — Unable to dismiss ad

*2026-05-05*

Despite seeing the ad, there’s no way to dismiss it

**Developer response:** I apologize for the stuck ad, I'm looking into it. Please reach out through the support email in PushFit and I can help get you upgraded to the ad free Pro version in the meantime.

### 1/5 — Nice app to keep track and set goal amounts daily, weekly,& monthly.

*2025-08-02, version 2.8.2*

Perfect. Every once in a while it will miss a push up or two as well with maybe counting one as two only happens about once a month tho if it settings are set up right.

### 1/5 — Face tracking works poorly

*2024-11-12, version 2.8.0*

Had this app for a month and it worked fine for 1 week and then the face tracking got worse and worse. At some points I can do like 6 pushups in a row and have it not track a single one.

### 1/5 — Why does every single app nowadays need a subscription?

*2024-06-03, version 2.8.0*

I am so sick and tired of these apps asking for subscriptions. It’s a push-up app, that’s it! No servers, no updates. Keep track of pushups, that’s it. If you want to charge a one time fee, that’s fine, but a subscription is just silly. Not to mention this particular app doesn’t even disclose it’s paid like other apps do.

### 1/5 — Great start. Not enough development.

*2024-04-30, version 2.8.0*

Needs support for pull-ups jumping jacks and sit-ups.

### 1/5 — No detection

*2024-03-05*

I couldn’t get it to recognize facial or approximity.  Was about to buy app for everyone at work for some fun. But it’s useless.

**Developer response:** I apologize, that shouldn't happen. Face Detection needs camera permission, a well lit area with your face in the camera's view, and it helps a lot to turn your display brightness up. If it still won't count after that, reach out through the feedback option in the Settings tab and I'll get it working for you. A whole office competing would be fun to see.

### 1/5 — Useless. Constantly crashes and loses all history

*2024-01-20*

Awful app. It's constantly crashing which means all workouts and history are lost.

**Developer response:** I apologize for the crashing, and for the history. It should be recoverable: sign in to the same Game Center account, give the app time to sync, and there is an extra restore reached by tapping the Settings title 5 times. A lot has changed since you wrote this, so please update and give it another go. If your history doesn't come back, reach out through the feedback option in the Settings tab and I will help.

### 1/5 — Seltsam

*2024-01-14*

Ich habe die Pro Version runtergeladen und kann jetzt keine Freunde mehr einladen … sind zwar nur 2€, aber trotzdem blöd, wenn es jetzt nicht mehr funktioniert!

**Developer response:** Please update to the latest version and friend invites will be fixed.

### 1/5 — Does not track

*2023-12-04, version 2.7.1*

You have to literally smash your nose on the screen to get the app that count. That’s not how I do pushups-smashing my face into the floor.

### 1/5 — Soooo schlecht 👎

*2023-07-01, version 2.7.1*

Die Gesichtserkennungfunktion funktioniert einfach nicht! So Dumm!

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-06-27, version 2.8.6*

### 5/5 — great

*2026-04-16, version 2.8.5*

great app, amazing idea, and amazing design. I just started using it and already love it, I think there just needs to be a way to keep people from
just tapping the buttons for leaderboards are correct.

### 5/5 — Great motivator

*2026-04-07*

Finally got in a routine and love this little motivator. Great workout app!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review! I'm really glad the app got you into a routine 💪

*2025-09-29, version 2.8.2*

It’s just great I mean it tracks my push-ups. I mean it’s just awesome. Nothing I could do really better. It’s just good.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2025-09-24*

Great app, and it’s free. Massive thanks to the devs.

**Developer response:** Thank you! It's just one dev here so I'll take all of that 😄

### 5/5 — Hamburger

*2025-09-08*

I dislike this app because no one told me about it earlier

**Developer response:** Sorry no one told you about it earlier.
