### 3/5 — Glitch

*2026-08-13*

This app is good as I tried it out and it’s free to use it’s just not letting me get to use it without getting the elite. It’s not letting me get past it without paying and I just want to use the free version not the elite. Do you know how to get past this?

### 5/5 — Great for Training Between Classes

*2026-06-10*

Really useful app for improving BJJ decision-making and grappling IQ off the mats. The sparring scenarios are engaging, and the progression system keeps me motivated to train consistently. Perfect for rest days, travel, or anyone looking to sharpen their game between classes.

### 5/5 — Cool app

*2026-05-27*

Loved the onboarding and overall experience. Tap Theory is really working for me. Using is for a few days now.

### 5/5 — Customize during onboarding

*2026-05-15*

Really liked that I can customize my training from the beginning

### 5/5 — As a BJJ guy, I love this app!

*2026-05-12*

### 5/5 — favorite bjj app!

*2026-04-30*

My favorite unique training supplement! Love the project 🙏🏽

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-03-30*

Love practicing positions in the sparring scenarios! Great for grapplers who like to study off the mats.

### 5/5 — Genuinely helpful!

*2026-03-30*

This app has changed the way I approach my rolling. I used to learn and drill a lot of techniques, but wouldn’t find ways to apply them in rolls as much as I’d like. This app has helped me make better decisions in my submissions chains and position transitions!

### 1/5 — Too many bugs

*2026-03-26*

I can’t get past the profile set up, in theory this app sounds good but , it doesn’t work at the moment.

**Developer response:** Hey, sorry you had issues with account setup. If you’re still stuck, reach out via App Support and I’ll get you sorted personally. Appreciate you giving it a shot.
