I’m going to give it another week or so before I decide on subscribing ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-08-10, version 2.62.0* Love the guidance it gives. Just gotta start ### 5/5 — Brilliant app - camera record needs fixed *2026-08-10, version 2.62.0* Best shadowboxing app out there by far. Great that front camera has been added too to record, but it doesn’t seem to work right. The camera goes at a weird angle, and can’t get it so it’s right. Not sure why it’s doing this? Edited: App Developer fixed the issue within a few days. App no longer has camera issue. 4 stars increased to 5 for both app and quick response from developer. ### 4/5 — Great app for tracking training & finding boxing drills *2026-08-08, version 2.61.1* Although the app is limited by the amount of recourses locked behind paying, its still a great addition to aid you in your progress (checking previous months for the progress category should not be a paid feature imo) ### 5/5 — 5✡️ *2026-08-07, version 2.61.1* I enjoy this app because I can customize any workout. I don’t think other apps allow for these kinds a customizations. ### 5/5 — AR boxing *2026-08-07, version 2.61.1* Best app to work any sport 🫵🏽🙏🏽 ### 5/5 — Timer is Great *2026-08-03, version 2.61.1* The timer on this app is great for my workout routine. I don’t have to stop between rounds and reset the clock. I just continuously go through the amount of rounds I set without a break in between them. ### 5/5 — Boxing *2026-08-02, version 2.61.1* This app makes boxing fun! Also do ### 5/5 — GREAT APP *2026-08-02, version 2.61.1* Can’t believe you can do it without having to pay 👍💯 ### 5/5 — Great app, great workouts, great advice *2026-08-02, version 2.61.1* Really enjoying the app, works perfectly when I’m not with my boxing coach, compliments everything I’m learning ### 5/5 — It’s good *2026-08-01, version 2.61.1* Worth the money ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2026-08-01, version 2.61.1* This app helped me with my confidence, It helped me lose weight and helped me gain stamina, and speed ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-07-28, version 2.61.1* I’ve been using this to whilst training solo. It’s been a very good motivator and coach in between sessions. Great tool ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-25, version 2.61.1* Great coaching helps a lot if you can’t make it to the gym ### 5/5 — High quality *2026-07-17, version 2.61.0* I am learning well and it’s a great workout ### 5/5 — Extremely well put together app that gets straight to the point *2026-07-17, version 2.61.0* One of the best apps I have used in general (let alone in the health category). The creators know their audience and have the perfect setup. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-07-16, version 2.61.0* Was getting fluffy and with this app helped me get back to the FUNdamentals while having a good time and a better sweat! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-16, version 2.61.0* Love it. Helps me get out of my head and just follow the instructions.

Don’t subscribe to this app ### 1/5 — Absolute scam *2024-10-03, version 2.3.0* There is absolutely nothing about this app that necessitates a subscription fee ### 2/5 — My review *2026-07-31, version 2.61.1* This app is really improving my boxing skills and I just love using it when I’m board ### 2/5 — Trying premium again, still not good... *2023-08-24* I know I give this app and the developers some slack for some of it's short comings, but I think it's the best shadow boxing app on the market. With that said... The commands are too quick, for a beginner. You need to have an option to SLOW DOWN the rate of commands, especially for those pre-made workouts (like: SIMPLE DEFENSE). There's nothing simple about that workout. It's too quick. You need to give users time to get it down first before we can speed it up! Also, the bag workouts need to have more specific commands instead of just saying "4 punch combo". I don't like that, personally. We are not just working on throwing punches, but working on thinking and reacting quickly too. Hope you understand! **Developer response:** Hello ! Sorry to hear that you encountered some issue with the app. However I'm happy to share that since your review some things evolved: - You can adjust the intensity during a training to slow down the rate of commands. There are now 4 levels of intensity, so I'm sure you'll find the one right for you. - There is now a "Punching Bag (focus)" exercise that is not asking for combos with a number of punches. Of course, any of the other exercises also work on the bag as well. I hope this will make the whole experience better for you. If it doesn't, don't hesitate to reach out: shadowboxingworkout@gmail.com Have a good day ! ### 2/5 — Very user-unfriendly. *2023-06-20* What happened to this app? The UI is even more confusing than before. Where do I access and edit the custom exercise I created? It's like trying to figure out a maze with this app — Unbelievable! Also, I feel like that should allow us to create and test out at least ONE custom workout, before upgrading to premium. It's not the cheapest app out there for a yearly subscription, so at least let us know what we are getting into and how it will really work. **Developer response:** Hello and sorry you encountered a problem. You can find the list of saved custom workouts in the top right side of your screen (small heart icon) when you are on the custom workout edition screen. I hope this helps! ### 2/5 — Needs work *2022-07-11, version 1.33.0* I’m new so I’m using the part that tells me what numbers correlate to what throw. While doing combinations it’ll 1/4 of the time only say half the word of the last throw in a combination so I’m just sitting there waiting for what to do. ### 3/5 — Love the app. But.. *2026-06-22, version 2.58.0* I dont know where to find the save recordings I did through the app. ### 3/5 — France *2024-07-05* Quand la vidéo ce lance il est dis qu’elle n’est pas disponible en français **Developer response:** Bonjour, des voix de coach sont disponibles en français. Il faut avoir son téléphone en français et des voix téléchargées. Pour ce qui est des vidéos, c’est une nouveauté de l’application et effectivement elles ne sont que en anglais pour le moment. Certaines ont des sous titres, mais pas toutes. Les vidéos seront mises à jour en français dans les prochains mois. Bonne journée ! ### 3/5 — Pauses music *2024-05-22, version 1.58.0* Pauses music when the timer goes ### 3/5 — Defence *2024-03-08, version 1.54.0* I think that least basic defence should be free b ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Boxing Gym replacement *2026-08-30, version 2.62.0* With life getting getting busy getting into the gym to train has been tough; this is a fantastic app that helps out stay sharp without having to spend too much time away! ### 5/5 — It’s worth it *2026-08-30, version 2.62.0* The best boxing app in the world! ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-28, version 2.62.0* App has been awesome I started beginner 101, just seeing the fundamentals comparing what i know. And its great! ### 5/5 — Greatest app ever *2026-08-27, version 2.62.0* Honestly does thorough job! I’ve been doing boxing on and off since I was 16 and I never would have been able to become a full fighter instead of just an average one if it wasn’t for this app constantly teaching me new combos and bag workouts! I love this app and I hope to only see it grow! ### 5/5 — Boxing at 74 *2026-08-19, version 2.62.0* I refuse to slow down because that is when stuff catches up with you. I box with a group and then I use this app. Using this app not only helps me work on my group work, it also breaks down things for me. The greatest thing about it— it keeps my brain sharp. Listening and responding pushes my brain. I intend to box away Alzheimer’s! Even if you’re not in a gym or with a group, I recommend this app for seniors — keeps body snd brain sharp. ### 5/5 — Easy for beginners! *2026-08-19, version 2.62.0* Appreciate the short tutorials. Workouts can take less than 20 min if that’s all you’ve got in you but done with easy to follow instructions and visuals. Unlike static exercise routines, you get a “coach” calling out different combos and this keeps you from going on complete autopilot so you’re still mentally engaged with is helpful for me. Aggression released as I imagine knocking out some loonies lurking in my mental space! Highly recommend a try! ### 5/5 — Workout *2026-08-17, version 2.62.0* Great boxing app,Im enjoying it🥊🥊 ### 5/5 — Fantastic - would LOVE a kick-boxing option *2026-08-17, version 2.62.0* Would LOVE a kick-boxing option too. I tend to do what’s called and add kicks, but it would be great to have tried and tested combos. ### 5/5 — needs heart monitor *2026-08-13, version 2.62.0* Great app needs to work with heart rate monitor. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-12, version 2.62.0* Love the app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
