### 5/5 — ずっと使いたい

*2025-12-31*

有料でも気にならないくらい
素晴らしいアプリ。
-各メニュー動画説明あり
-片側ずつ鍛えるべきメニューは1つ登録すると勝手に2回分（入れ替え）セットしてくれる
-メニュー、時間、回数を好きに組み合わせてお気に入りセット作成可能（順番も後から入れ替えられる）
-合計時間が予め分かるので自分の好みの長さでトレーニングできる（忙しい日は短めに）
-終了後、消費カロリーが出るのでモチベ高まる
-ガイダンス音声&励ましセリフありで嬉しい

などなど。使い続けたいです！

### 5/5 — Top

*2025-08-22*

Genau das was ich gesucht habe

### 1/5 — Keine Gewichte hinterlegbar

*2025-04-22*

Leider können bei den Übungen keine Gewichte hinterlegt werden. Die Auswahl der Übungen ist aber gut und abwechslungsreich

### 4/5 — Great app

*2024-03-06*

East to use and I’m seeing results from trying out some of these workouts. My only gripe is that it would be nice to have a dark mode.

### 1/5 — Keine Gewichtangabe

*2024-03-04*

In der App kann man keine Gewichtangaben hinzufügen. Wenn man immer mit den selben Gewichten trainiert, ist es nicht von Belang. Aber aus angegeben Grund, rausgeschmissenes Geld.

### 5/5 — schön simpel und übersichtlich

*2022-11-29*

top

### 1/5 — Don’t buy ! Total scam now

*2022-10-14, version 2.5.9*

Videos won’t download. I spent 4.99
To not be about to view it unusable

There must be a bug because it used to work!!!!!

### 5/5 — Great app for home workouts

*2022-01-05*

Helped me diversify my workout. Hitting different muscle groups.

### 3/5 — Looks good, but lacks a lot

*2021-12-30*

So it looks clean. Setting up workouts is not hard, and I like that you can set time or reps

However - that is where the good ends

What is the most basic need in a dumbbell program?  Probably tracking weight. I cannot seem to find it, but it is so fundamental I must be missing it. 

Also, there is no way to add your own exercises, so you cannot add something even as basic as push-ups or pull ups to your routine. 

A good foundation, but looking at the age of this app - if these basics have not been added yet, they probably never will be

### 5/5 — Perfeito

*2021-07-07*

App cumpri o que promete, fácil de usa sem complicações muito intuitivo. Perfeito
