Wish reminder notifications worked *2022-06-11, version 1.0.24* I pay for the apps additional features and I love it! Just wish there were notifications set to remind me to exercise at the same time every day like most apps do. I think they only notify you of updates and new classes. ### 3/5 — Machine works great but stop there *2022-05-27, version 1.0.24* The machine itself works great but don’t order anything from the site or company. The dream band is simply a piece of elastic you can order in bulk for a fractional cost. The dream mount will not work with items such as a pop socket. The mat is simply a yoga mat with corporate branding. The videos you can get online for zero cost. I am sorry but the advantage is minimal at best. Save your hard earned funds. If you can purchase the actual product second hand at a lower cost it’s worth the purchase. ### 2/5 — Continually crashes *2022-01-16, version 1.0.14* Discontinuing membership because the app continually crashes when trying to start a workout. I have enough data, no other apps running, phone is up to date on software, and it still happens. Very disappointed! ### 1/5 — Bad App *2021-12-28, version 1.0.14* I see they only respond to certain reviews! Nothing on the app worth downloading! Offer more free workouts, they are basically the same anyway!! Also how about the 30 day challenge. Take a look at your overall ratings….2 star is not getting you popular I see why you are getting a lot of 1 stars!!!!! ### 1/5 — Love the machine- App not so much *2021-11-04, version 1.0.14* You spend all the money on the machine and only get about 8 free workouts on the app. There should be way more than that before having to buy the monthly subscription. Or lower the subscription fee. Not happy ### 1/5 — Unusable app that doesn’t recognize subscriptions *2021-10-25, version 1.0.14* I have subscribed and unsubscribed, deleted the app, re-subscribed, nothing works I cannot see any premium videos and it keeps asking me to subscribe when I am already subscribed. Apple Dave’s should have a look at the bugs here and remove this from the App Store until they have fixed the ability to login. There is a restore subscription button which does not work. PS I am using the latest Apple iPhone 13 max. It’s not me. It’s you, DB Method. ### 3/5 — Love the videos but needs casting *2021-10-05, version 1.0.14* I really like the videos they have up for this machine but I can only watch them on my phone. Airplay and casting support needs improvement ### 1/5 — Not a good experience *2021-09-16, version 1.0.14* I’m unable to use this app. It turns off as soon as it reads “hello” as if I was never on it. There has to be a better way! ### 1/5 — Stand Alone Only. *2021-08-12, version 1.0.14* This app… where to start. It doesn’t link to your watch, or play on anything but your phone screen. Be prepared to enjoy finagling a way to watch your phone screen while trying to do the workouts they have listed if you’re doing anything other than the basic squats. It doesn’t link to Apple Health, so there’s no way (other than to open your db app) to keep track of the workouts, which is insanely inconvenient, especially for those trying to streamline their workout journey and see ALL their progress - not just the progress that plays nice with Apple Health. It ALSO doesn’t link to your activity tracking, so you can basically go f yourself if you’re trying to use this to close those rings and share your pre-wedding workout stats with the other people in your wedding party like every other workout app on the Apple platform does. The subscription cost is laughable for the minimal amount of programs they have. Let’s be honest, there is only so much you can do with this machine and it’s accessories, and you can buy workout set posters, resistance loops, resistance bands, and weighted belts/bracelets/anklets from other retailers for less than the cost of 6 months of this subscription. You’d also have a lot more options for your workouts going that route. This app is genuinely disappointing, but at least their machine lives up to the hype. Do better db. ### 1/5 — The DB Method *2021-08-08, version 1.0.14* Downloaded the app to my Apple Phone and Apple iPad and neither would open after being down loaded. You guy need to work on this problem. ### 1/5 — Good instructors, not worth the $ *2021-07-26, version 1.0.14* Really enjoying the actual machine! How we the app has ALOT of room for improvement. $10 a month is a little steep for the very small and limited selection of classes and programs. Also this cannot be played on a big screen, so not very convenient. Would also love a search option to look up a specific workout. I’m glad that they offered a free month trial, because I would not have been happy to be locked into monthly subscription for the limited selection. ### 2/5 — Would love it *2021-07-04, version 1.0.14* I would love this app more if it would not drop during the work out the trainers are awesome but the app is not strong enough it keeps dropping during the workouts and it also needs a lot more work out activities! ### 2/5 — Poor customer experience *2021-07-03, version 1.0.14* I currently have 2 sites and the app saved on my phone. The app they want everyone to use doesn’t have the monthly challenge. 3 days into July, it’s on on their original link that used to be updated before the new month started. These things need to be tended to. Most importantly, there needs to be one method or app for their customers to go to. This is sloppy. ### 1/5 — Videos won’t play *2021-06-17, version 1.0.14* The app only connects to AirPlay about 20% of the time and most videos either won’t play at all or stop before the end and say “Video failed to load.” ### 2/5 — unresponsive customer support *2021-05-10, version 1.0.12* I haven’t been able to access the subscription content for the past week even though the app recognizes my subscription is active and valid. Customer support has been unresponsive in communication. Planning to cancel and requesting refund. ### 1/5 — I’ve been doing Db for over a year *2021-05-04, version 1.0.11* I’ve been doing this program and machine for over a year. Saw this and thought why not. But honestly for $9.99 a month no I don’t think so . I thought as a lot of other apps are free . I’m just as happy with the you tube videos . Please refund me if you attempt to charge me . Extremely disappointed. Nice machine but I’m not going to pay to exercise on this or any other app. Thank you ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2026-04-26, version 1.0.24* I downloaded this twice today and it doesn’t show me anything in the app. I want to join but now I’m hesitant. ### 1/5 — Haven’t lggd in a while.Now, 0 tech support avail, Limited review chrctr alwd as well? Skch. *2025-12-03, version 1.0.24* Wtf ### 1/5 — Can’t recognize if you pay on computer *2023-03-15, version 1.0.24* I paid for the subscription on my computer and the app won’t link with it. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2022-07-24, version 1.0.24* I have the same issue as other users- I’m supposed to have access to the premium content but it will not play. They offered it free for a year if you completed a survey. When I click on the premium content it says I’m subscribed but it WILL NOT PLAY. I have deleted, reinstalled, etc etc etc and nothing changes. I have an iPhone 13. I contacted customer service and they were absolutely no help. So this company basically scammed me (and probably thousands of others) out of our time under false pretenses that we would get free premium app access for a year but they’re app does not work. I see other users have had this exact same issue- it’s dbmethod but they will try to make you think it’s your phone. I’m considering selling my dbmethod because their customer service is pure trash as well as their app. ### 1/5 — Machine was a scam *2022-07-11, version 1.0.24* When I bought the machine, they said all their workouts were available for free on YouTube, saying you could get a full body workout with this machine. Now you need to get this app and pay $10/month for the workouts, they are only making new content with all their wildly overpriced accessories, you can’t get a full workout without spending another few hundred dollars on accessories and subscriptions. ### 1/5 — Don’t subscribe *2022-05-03, version 1.0.23* Apple should remove it from the App Store. You subscribe, but it doesn’t acknowledge the subscription so you cannot access any of the workouts. I have gone round and round with customer service, and apparently many others have well. I have wasted every payment I have made to them. Machine works, app doesn’t. Boo ### 1/5 — So bad. *2022-03-03, version 1.0.21* This app is absolutely terrible. I get so frustrated with it I end up making up my own workouts and god knows I’m not qualified to do that. It won’t load half the time and you can’t watch it on anything but your phone. My results won’t be as good because I have zero guidance. God speed. ### 1/5 — Fix the app! *2022-02-13, version 1.0.21* This app is terrible. I’ve never been able to access the premium content and it always tells me my subscription will renew rather than letting me access content. I’ve installed and uninstalled the app and also done the same for the subscription. It’s a shame too because it looks like the content could be good… ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2022-01-25, version 1.0.14* This app is horrible! It closes on you seconds in. The machine appears to work, but trying the classes and this subscription is a total joke! I’m just using the machine on my own! ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2021-12-30, version 1.0.14* Plain and simple, this is another fad that is absolutely ridiculous. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The programs are amazing! *2022-05-09, version 1.0.24* I love this app so much, especially the programs. They’re so well designed - all I have to do is pick my goal and then follow the scheduled classes! ### 5/5 — 5 Stars ⭐️ *2022-05-09, version 1.0.24* Love how you can navigate the app with ease. My favorite feature is the variety of workout programs available that challenge you to consistency by assigning a different workout daily (with rest days sprinkled in) for a period of time ranging from 1 week to 5 weeks. Love love love it as my own built-in personal trainer! ### 5/5 — Love the App!! *2022-05-07, version 1.0.24* Love the App, Love the Trainers, Love The Machine. It has everything you need all wrapped into one. ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-05-05, version 1.0.24* Love it! ### 5/5 — Love the app with my machine *2021-04-29, version 1.0.11* I love my DB Method machine and have realized doing 10 mins a day for me is more of an achievable goal than going to the gym. The app is a great compliment and helps me add variety to my workouts! ### 5/5 — Nice *2021-04-14, version 1.0.11* I have no problem with sound and I can AirPlay the videos to my Samsung 7 series TV. It’s a good app with many workouts. ### 5/5 — MACHINE OOOO *2021-03-22, version 1.0.11* Waiting on getting it I’m so excited to be able to cancel my gym membership because this is the only stuff I want to focus! ### 5/5 — This app is LIT *2021-03-12, version 1.0.10* 🔥 ### 5/5 — Clean App, Great Workouts, Amazing Machine! *2020-12-21, version 1.0.5* Love this company and what they stand for! This Machine is like none other. My wife and I use it all the time and love the workouts. This app is CLEAN! If you’re looking for a new, fun way to get your dream butt, but also get a good workout for your full body, get this Machine and download this app. You won’t regret it! ✨🙌🏽✨ ### 5/5 — YAY *2020-12-18* So excited about this app! Love my machine and this app is going to help me take my workout regimen to the next level 💪💪 love their monthly challenge and now i can record my progress in the app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
