I love these apps and am motivated to continue to improve myself. Love the fact that it is a gradual incremental increase and can really feel my body responding to the exercises. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Over Weight Father (Memphis) *2015-12-29, version 3.2.2* I love this app. I have a systematic way of increasing my reps of sit-ups, and I can do it without over exerting myself! ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2015-09-13* Does exactly what it says. The one feature I would love to see is the ability to change the ultimate target from 200. Another helpful feature could be announcing the number of reps in each set. It's hard to workout while constantly having to look at the phone to remind yourself of the number of reps scheduled. ### 5/5 — It's a great App *2015-06-25, version 3.1* It's awesome it reminds me of when I do sit ups and I can set my days and time to remind me. ### 5/5 — Strong Enough *2015-05-21* This is not a bad app at all. It follows a set guide for improving core strength through sit-ups. My only qualm is how annoying the sounds are. I feel like I'm playing an old Atari game whenever the voice says "sit-ups" and "cool down." I can deal with sub-par audio, though. The app functions wonderfully and does everything it was built to do. I am very happy with it. ### 5/5 — Great app and best part is it's free and works *2015-05-12, version 3.1* Amazing results I am feeling already in week 2. Get past that first work out and it is already a pass off. Can't imagine getting to week 4 and 5. I'm gonna have my 4 pack back. Yes only a 4 pack lol I'm 44. Next goal is a 6 pack and If I put my mind to it I know this app will help me get there. The 1 mins workouts and 1 Min. Breaks are what make this app amazing. Would no recommened to anyone who hasn't really been taking care of themselves. If this is Ur first time starting a workout regime do small sets and build up slowly. Good luck and eat right. Peace.

Instead, for more or better features, make people pay for it (like MyFitnessPal and RunKeeper). Other than the ads, though, I really like this app. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2014-11-10, version 2.2* My tummy hurts. Maybe I ate too much ice cream or maybe I'm addicted to this app. Either way it's a good app. Only complaint is that Siri can't hold my feet to save her life. ### 4/5 — Feel the burn *2014-10-08* Great plan. Love how the program is set up. Make notes and come back to finish what you started. I use it with its sister apps ( push up and squats). I challenged and others see the results of y effort. The reminders are a plus too. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2024-10-16* Hard to get past the title screen (keeps freezing). I set up a profile but now it is just showing me adverts for “rewards” - no idea what the rewards are, I just want to be able to count my sit ups but no clue how to do this?!!!!? ### 1/5 — A 1980’s feel...not a good thing *2019-04-09* This user interface is not aesthetically pleasing or intuitive. I’ve downloaded other an training apps that look much nicer and are more usable, like by Fitness 22 or Zenlabs. ### 1/5 — Deleted within 5 minutes *2017-01-12, version 3.4* Too many ads, not intuitive at all. No tutorial, just "start sit-ups". Thanks for nothing. ### 1/5 — Don't bother *2015-05-29* Every time you try to change the timing for sit-ups or cool down it crashes and closes. Who can do 20 sit-ups in 60 seconds when it's only their third day? And who can do more than that in 60 seconds once the days go on? It needs to bugs fixed and it seems like they aren't bothering so forget using this app for more than a few days. ### 2/5 — Could be better, especially ads. *2018-11-29* Full screen ads are a no no, they’re intrusive and make the app lock up a second when tapping the “x”. The banner is fine. No initial tutorial on what to do, it just throws you in. 2/5 stars. ### 2/5 — Wow---in a bad way *2013-03-22, version 1.6* Calorie counter is a joke. (Completely incorrect) The app doesn't say how many you need to do next, so you have to keep looking at your phone throughout the work out. No goals, no technique shown. It's obvious the other reviews were bought and paid for. ### 3/5 — Overall pretty good *2014-11-02* You shud be able to put it at ur level and at least put two profiles without pay. You should also have a setting where it can count the seconds out so I know if I am Going at a good speed. Great overall. ### 3/5 — Decent free app *2013-01-21* I like the app for the simplicity of it. It would be nice if it would voice what set your on. Instead of just saying sit ups, it tells you how many to do. This way you don't have to stare at phone during workout. Besides that it does what it needs to. Thank you ### 3/5 — It's ok *2012-02-06, version 1.1.1* It's ok but I can do better with a trainer lol ### 4/5 — Keeping me on track *2020-11-25* I like that I can listen to my own music. It’s pushing me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thumbs up *2024-10-13, version 6.0.2* Easy to use and it works (as long as you do :-) ### 5/5 — Situps *2020-11-22* It is the absolute BEST app I have ever used!!
