I also highly rate the ease of account deletion. ### 5/5 — Amazingly helpful app *2025-05-15, version 1.0.99* This app is super helpful in figuring out your nutrition. It lays it all out in easy to understand measurements and has been a great aid in sorting out what I need for all my runs. I will not go back to running without it. ### 5/5 — Unbelievably helpful *2025-03-06, version 1.0.99* The knowledge and care that has gone into this app is unreal. I know most endurance athletes aren’t as knowledgeable about fueling as they would like and this app meets you where you are. I think it’s a web app or something, native would’ve been nicer but you barely notice. ### 5/5 — Go faster, feel better, save money *2025-02-04, version 1.0.99* The app and the training science behind it is a game changer. Well worth it. Training is fun again. App is easy to use and the founders support it with great content. Speed Nectar for the win. ### 5/5 — Gem! *2025-01-02, version 1.0.99* This health app has been a game-changer for my Ironman training. It helped me find the perfect quality of carbs, ensuring I stay fuelled and energised during long sessions. The personalized recommendations have optimized my nutrition, leading to better performance and faster recovery. Plus, it’s saved me hundreds of pounds by reducing the need for costly sports nutrition products. Highly recommend for any endurance athlete looking to fine-tune their nutrition! ### 5/5 — So simply *2024-12-17, version 1.0.99* Hard to believe how simply pantry items can help with training. No GI distress following the recipes for ALL my rides. Amazing how I’m know able to complete tougher workouts with less breaks. At the end of 3 hour outdoor sessions, I don’t feel drained like before when I used the expensive fuels. ### 5/5 — Simple and easy! *2024-10-03, version 1.0.99* The app works great and their YouTube channel is a great source of knowledge as well. ### 5/5 — So simple and effective *2024-09-14, version 1.0.99* I love this app. Simple sugar and salt has easily saved me more than the cost of the app. I used to buy expensive supplements, now I get tailored glucose and sodium recommendations for each activity using just salt and sugar. ### 5/5 — Finally! *2024-04-21, version 1.0.96* So excited about this app! I have been using for two weeks and I am looking forward to trying my new nutrition strategy from Saturday in my next race. So far this program has kept me focused on my nutrition and I have more confidence in my plan. ### 5/5 — Think less, do more *2024-03-26, version 1.0.91* Saturday takes the thinking out of it and allows you to fuel for your endurance training insanely easily. If you want better performance, you need Saturday. ### 5/5 — Game changer! *2024-03-21* This has been a game changer for me as an endurance athlete. Gels don’t always sit well and/or the logistics of opening a packet and squeezing it in my mouth while running don’t always work. I also sometimes struggled with getting enough calories especially on the bike when I don’t want to fumble with packets. Using Saturday has made me feel stronger and my training go better with giving me exactly what I need! I also don’t feel as wiped out after long run and bike workouts because I am getting in what my body needs. I love the option to add my own products and make it tasty for me. If you are an endurance athlete you need this app! It will change your training for the better! ### 5/5 — Excellent advice and expertise *2024-03-14, version 1.0.91* I’ve been riding and racing for many years, and the advice from this team has been a game changer. The science and the recipes have improved my performance. ### 5/5 — Game changer *2024-03-14, version 1.0.91* Amazing app and info from Saturday crew on their YouTube videos. I have been an outdoor enthusiast/athlete for most of my adult life and Triathlete, the last 10 years. Between work and busy schedule not having time to put into researching the best nutrition and the right amount. I have cramped and or bonked more times than I can count before Saturday app and videos. Since using the app I have more energy during the workout and ready for the next workout. I’m able to follow the prescribed prep for my next triathlon much easier thanks to also better recovery. Thank you Dr Alex and Michelle!! ### 5/5 — Easy Peasy *2024-02-10, version 1.0.89* My only question is, what do I do with the supplies I’ve invested in but no longer need? ### 5/5 — I’m a fan of the science and the simplicity *2023-12-15* Saturday app has helped me deliver better training sessions using science. I've known for a long time that I sweat far more and with far higher sodium content than most people. I didn't know though how much I was lacking in my hydration and sodium needs on those long, hot training sessions until I began using and trusting the app to guide me. The trust has built over time and by observing the improvements in performance and how I feel during and after my training sessions. I feel like I've done my last Ironman event where I'll be wasting time in excessive pitstops resulting from insufficient fueling. ### 5/5 — Easy peasy *2023-12-13* Must admit, this makes fueling for training/racing super straightforward. Just finished a marathon training block and had success following Saturday’s recommendations throughout. I use this and their sugar/salt water recommendations for short/easy runs and supplement with other more portable fuels (gels/drinks) as needed for longer efforts. Works like a charm and requires no thinking. ### 5/5 — Great simple app for fueling a ride or workout *2023-12-11* Makes fueling a ride a simple. Answer a few setup questions when you first use the app then just input the duration and intensity and how hot your ride is going to be and it tells you how much carbs, salt and water to take. Then you either make up your own mix, supplement with products or go completely with 3rd party products - the app does the math for you. Simple, which means you’ll use it. You’ll be pleasantly suprised how much better you feel if you fuel appropriately. ### 5/5 — Game changed *2023-11-08, version 1.0.82* Took me a while to trust the recipes. Their recommendations kept me riding longer without bonking - it works. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Decent science on YouTube but $79.99/year for App is rediculous *2024-09-14, version 1.0.99* I thought this app was free and was trying to decide whether to keep it or not. Turns out it's $79.99/year to do basic maths for mixing sugar, water and salt. ### 3/5 — It’s ok, but needs a little work *2024-07-27, version 1.0.99* The idea is great, but in reality, I make up my mix a couple of bottles at a time, so having a breakdown for the recipe by bottle would be really more helpful. Currently the app expects you to make up the solution en mass, e.g. for. 3.5h ride it told me 4.5L + 6000mg salt + 350g sugar. I mix in some Maltodextrin to reduce the sweetness and it does adapt, but I had to create a new item to add the specific amount of Maltodextrin, the other choices being 90g or 20g. In my opinion it would be more useful to give a recipe / bottle, based on bottle size, as I don’t have a 5L vat to make up all of the solution and then decant it into individual bottles. ### 4/5 — Great App! *2023-09-24, version 1.0.79* I think the app is extremely smart / helpful. The UI is a little quirky but not hard to use. I highly recommend giving it a try if you’re an endurance athlete especially. ### 4/5 — Simple fueling tool. Saves $$ too! *2023-08-08, version 1.0.77* This is a simple fueling app for endurance athletes and quickly provides diy fuel and hydration blends using simply sugar, water, and salt. I also appreciate the database of commercially available fueling products if I want to consume more than the simple ingredients in my cupboard. The fueling as been pretty spot on after 2 months of IM training. ### 5/5 — Not just for elite athletes! *2026-06-20, version 1.2.12* I discovered Saturday’s reviews on YouTube and found them knowledgeable, factual and entertaining. Plus, I have learned SO MUCH about fueling and hydration. So, I decided to give the app a try. I’m a non-competitive runner with 10ks and Halfs my primary races, and I have found this app invaluable when it’s time to prepare my hydration and fuel for my training runs. It isn’t just for elite athletes. Are there things that could be improved or functionalities that could be added? Yes. But given this is more of a home-grown app AND it’s relatively inexpensive, I am more than willing to overlook those missing “nice to haves.” ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-05-30, version 1.1.9* Works well. Fits into my workouts seamlessly. ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2026-05-27* This is the best fueling investment I’ve ever made, and I don’t know what took me so long to write this review. Saturday takes the guesswork out of having the right amount of fuel for a ride. The support provided for any issues you may encounter is second to none. I can’t recommend this product enough to anyone struggling (or not) with proper fueling. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-05-06* I love this app. It works well and is clean and simple. I bet it has already saved me a hundred dollars just in one training block and race by not buying gels. I have used it for ultramarathon training and race day execution. It has really helped solve the nutrition puzzle for me. I used to get cramps and lag in energy at later stages. But for my last race when I followed the advice from the app, I felt great the entire race and didn’t have any cramps. ### 5/5 — Easy way to calculate fueling *2026-04-25* I use it for every long workout and it’s a super easy way to know how much I need to take in during a ride. My recovery has improved a ton since using this and I am much better able to make endurance gains off of my long rides since I am hydrated and fueled properly. ### 5/5 — Best endurance nutrition app *2026-04-17, version 1.1.8* This is an absolute gamechanger, a few clicks and I got a personalised plan how to fuel my marathon flawlessly - it was my my best race. Can’t wait to use it for my next triathlon! ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — No Bonking *2026-04-02, version 1.1.7* I’m not a racer but my friends and I go on long spirited bike rides. 60-80 miles, maybe 18mph. I have to fuel. The Saturday speed nectar enables much stronger finishes, when I manage to execute them pers recommendations. It’s often logistically difficult and I’m working on flavor aids, strong hibiscus tea is good. ### 5/5 — Always accurate!! *2026-03-15, version 1.1.7* This app has taken me through marathons, 70.3s and distance challenges. It always comes through. ### 5/5 — No brainer for fueling *2026-03-13* The Saturday app has been a great tool for dialing in my fueling during training. It breaks down exactly what I need in a clear, practical way that’s easy to follow—even during long workouts. The automatic sync with TrainingPeaks is a big plus. My workouts load automatically and the app builds a fueling plan around each session, so there’s nothing I have to enter manually. If you’re training seriously and want a simple, reliable way to plan your fueling, this app does an excellent job. ### 5/5 — No brainer for fueling *2026-02-04, version 1.1.3* The Saturday app has helped me dial in my fueling in a clear and practical way. It breaks down what I need in a format that’s simple, easy to use, and quick to read during training. I especially like the auto-sync with TrainingPeaks. My workouts load automatically, so I don’t have to enter anything manually, and my fueling plan is already built around each session. If you’re training seriously and want a straightforward tool to plan and follow your fueling, this app does a great job. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
