### 5/5 — Great for travel

*2026-07-25, version 1.8.2*

I have used Sweat Deck for years. It is great to have while traveling. Either. In a hotel or camping. You can use it anywhere. You can use it at home or even at the gym to help get a quick workout.

### 5/5 — Great work

*2026-07-15, version 1.8.2*

If you are looking for a quick cardio workout. Definitely recommend

### 5/5 — AWESOME app

*2026-05-28*

Love the flexibility and tang of exercise. It’s reasonable in price and the random nature of a deck keeps me coming back for more.

### 1/5 — Don’t get

*2026-05-12, version 1.8.2*

If you want a sweat deck that clusters and is not random, this is your app!

### 1/5 — Garbage. Worst shuffle I’ve ever seen.

*2025-06-20, version 1.8.2*

Free version is worth exactly as much as it costs.  Come on guys,  multiple triple, quadruple, quintuple repeats in one deck???

### 5/5 — I love it

*2025-06-08, version 1.8.2*

Honestly, this is my favorite app by far. I love it. 
I’m a huge calisthenics and high endurance fan and this helps break up the monotonous circuit that I use to do.
Granted, you could buy a deck of cards and do it yourself but I can’t for the life of me remember what exercise I said for each suit was. 
This, you can edit your exercise to each suit you prefer. 
The only thing I wish I could do is adjust the template set to be the 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Once you create a deck of cards set. It saves under the one you created previously. Other than that, simple and effective!

### 5/5 — Fun and simple:)

*2025-05-29, version 1.8.2*

Love it

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2025-05-28, version 1.8.2*

I only wish the app could sink to health though. Overall nice app!

### 5/5 — Just paid for the free version because I wanted to.

*2025-04-30*

The free version of this app is fantastic. I just paid for it because I wanted to contribute. I could gave continued on just the free version. It is nice to see my times. I recommend this app if you want a gym membership but want to test your dedication first. Been working out Monday Wednesday Friday and haven’t missed a day in 9 weeks.

### 1/5 — App Stops Music When Going Through Cards

*2025-04-10, version 1.8.2*

I downloaded this app so I could run through a workout with my team. Every time I shuffled through a card the app would pause my music and recite the exercise! That is just bad programming. Definitely requesting a refund for this.
