Ich nutze den Coach seit Anfang des Jahres und ich finde es super charmant, dass man drei Ziele auswählt und einen darauf ausgelegten, sehr fokussierten Plan erhält. Allerdings sehe ich hier ein paar Punkte sehr kritisch. Zum einen schenkt es nicht so, als würde der Coach bereits absolvierte Trainingspläne berücksichtigen. Zum anderen ist die Progression (wie bereits von anderen Nutzern angemerkt) innerhalb eins Plans oft nicht nachvollziehbar. Zum einen wird hin und wieder die Progression bei manchen Übungen „vergessen“, sodass man trotz Zielerreichung wieder die alte Übung im Plan drin hat. Zum anderen werden die Übungen innerhalb von einzelnen Trainingsabschnitten offensichtlich nicht mit denen anderer Abschnitte verglichen, sodass man dann bspw. Dreimal Pull-ups drin hat oder freie Handstände nach einem Kraftblock folgen. Dabei sollten doch Skills immer zu Beginn des Trainings absolviert werden. Ist das so gewollt? ### 4/5 — Great *2026-03-26, version 6.1.5* It’s great I just wish it was free and not having to pay 3:99 for an IA coach that I can find on YouTube for free but other than that W ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2025-09-28, version 5.6.2* It’s a great app but it would be nice that it keeps your phone open all the time. It sometimes lets my phone close. Another thing that could be better is that there is a sound like a ding or a bell that plays when the timer for resting goes off. It would also be nice that if you didn’t go out of the app it wouldn’t make the video for how to do the exercise just go to a picture. Other than that it’s all good! ### 5/5 — Great app for progressing skills *2025-09-07, version 5.6.2* I really like how there are programs to progress towards skills. Simple, straightforward, and clear cut. Thanks for the great resource! ### 3/5 — App is getting crashed *2025-08-25* I can't see what or how to do the actual form of exercise it gets stuck on the beginning and not just play as it plays usually and repeats, and third-party videos aren't working **Developer response:** Hi there, please check the latest update. The video playback is fixed. Best, Thenics ### 4/5 — Really solid *2025-06-23, version 5.3.0* Really good app so far. First I would like to say i would love a note function per exercise or per workout phase. I am currently doing the pistol and muscle up progression on an A/B split. It provides a good stimulus and helping develop strength for skills. I would also like an opportunity to moved the exercise order. I find sometimes i can superset some exercises with minimal performance drop and an increase in time efficiency. Overall i expect to complete as much of this as I can to unlock skills :) ### 4/5 — General overview *2025-05-29, version 5.3.0* Amazing app for the subscription cost; Few tweaks I would do to make it a 5/5 is vary the coach planner in some elements. Compared to all other apps I’ve seen, this is dirt cheap. ### 5/5 — Thenics *2025-05-23, version 5.3.0* Really good app with easy to follow workouts. Has multiple free workouts as well as a few paid ones. Ever workout that’s on Thenics has a goal to work towards which is really good ### 5/5 — 👌🏻 *2025-05-20, version 5.3.0* I love it ### 5/5 — Thenics *2025-05-17, version 5.3.0* I feel like this is a great app to improve my strength. It doesn’t expect to much of me, only what I can do. ### 4/5 — Eigentlich tolle App *2025-05-11* Ich nutze die App nun seit ein paar Wochen. Im Grunde bin ich sehr zufrieden. Was mich aber sehr stört, ist die fehlerhafte Anzeige der Wochentage im Coach Plan und die nicht nachvollziehbaren mehrtägigen Sprünge. Teilweise ist im Planer eine Lücke von ca. 14 Tagen zwischen zwei Trainings Einheiten, was absolut keinen Sinn ergibt. ### 5/5 — My Favorite Calisthenics App *2025-04-11, version 5.3.0* I had yearly subscription of Thenx for couple of years and I tried multiple other popular calisthenics app but this one is my favorite. I love the coach system for premium version. Based on how well I can do the workout, it gives live feedback to change to easier or harder progression, and I think it's very reasonable. ### 5/5 — Not a scam, actually really nice *2025-04-06, version 5.3.0* This is about the third app. I’ve downloaded to try to help me lose weight. All the other apps were working, but I felt like I wasn’t reaching my full potential these exercises even from the beginner level have me exhausted in sweating like I never have before. Well since I was in football 12 years ago. 😂 ### 3/5 — Hat potenzial *2025-03-30* Bin eigentlich zufrieden mit der App. Habe die 6 Wochen ausprobiert. Was mich gestört: Ich habe während der Übungen oft das gleiche Traininiert. 3xLunges und danach wieder 3x Lunges. Bei den Square habe ich mehr geschafft als wurde mir vom Coach vorgeschlagen, genau Lunges. Dann macht das Training keinen Spaß. Beim cool down oder mobility Training ist leider kein Timer. Oben rechts die Uhr ist dafür zu klein. 3 Sterne da mir die App eigentlich gefällt und der Preis auch super ist. ### 5/5 — Thenics app *2025-03-29, version 5.3.0* This is is most useful callisthenics app out there. For such little money you can get a lifelong subscription where you get infinite lessons on how to do skills and it gives you workouts. ### 3/5 — Well suited for all *2025-03-09, version 5.3.0* Great for people who are already in moderately good shape, and looking to break into calisthenics. User interface needs significant work (why I give it a three), but material is there. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nope *2025-09-08, version 5.6.2* Not very good, paid sub for 2 months and get very little progress ### 1/5 — Show a white screen *2025-05-28* Showing a white screen after signup ### 1/5 — Iphone *2025-02-04* Its not opening in iphone why ### 1/5 — The app is not opening in my iPhone *2024-11-07* Please look out after the app bcz app isn’t opening in my iPhone and only a white screen is seen whenever the app is launched on my phone ### 1/5 — App is not opening in iphone xr *2024-06-29* Everytime i am opening this app it is not opening please fix it as soon as possible. ### 1/5 — Cheap Ripoff *2024-04-06, version 5.2.4* Cheap rip off from Thenx. No progression or anything worthy of someone starting to get into calisthenics. App cheaply written from an app that actually works. Don't waste your time. ### 1/5 — App Aint opening *2024-03-10* The app isn’t opening even after reinstalling it several times and complaining to the support. ### 1/5 — Good but.. *2022-12-05, version 4.5.3* I tied this app because I wanted to learn calisthnetics but the fact you can’t do it because you don’t have the equipment in the workout is annoying ### 2/5 — Poor interface *2026-08-26, version 7.0.9* App is unresponsive and you can’t tell if it’s accepted your entry or not. The skill progressions also don’t make sense and there is not sufficient explanation for new movements. Also, the progressive overload is effectively just AMRAP for five sets ### 2/5 — Not working *2024-11-28, version 5.2.7* I recently downloaded the Thenics app, and I have to say that my experience has been quite frustrating. Every time I try to open the application, it simply does not work. Instead of the features and functionality I expected, all I see is a blank white screen. I’ve tried reinstalling the app and clearing the cache, but the issue persists. It’s disappointing because I had heard good things about Thenics and was eager to use it. Unfortunately, it seems there are some technical issues that need to be addressed. I hope the developers can resolve this problem soon, as the app has the potential to be great if it works properly. Until then, I can’t recommend it based on my current experience. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thenics *2026-08-24, version 7.0.9* It is a the perfect app to learn the major calisthenics skills I would highly recommend it ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-22, version 7.0.7* Cool skills ### 5/5 — Resourceful *2026-05-13, version 6.1.5* This app is very resourceful if you go to the gym or not. Added bonus it document each workout u completed ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-05-10, version 6.1.5* I love the tracking and skill progression workouts in this app. Very good for making progress in calisthenics and preventing injury. ### 5/5 — Great customizations and progressions *2026-04-29, version 6.1.5* Other calisthenics apps have you doing how their workouts are attended to be done but Thenics let you pick your own and it even let you pick 6 new skills you want to learn and it’s super affordable and simple ### 5/5 — The best *2026-04-08, version 6.1.5* Awesome calisthenics app ### 5/5 — Super *2025-12-28* Wirklich eine gute App die schöne Trainings anbietet und durch die Integrierung der Level auch für eine zusätzliche Motivation sorgt 😊. Und es sind wirklich alle Calisthenics-Übungen enthalten. Die Auswahl ist ja allen anderen Trainings-App oft eingeschränkt und auch Maschinen-Übungen limitiert. Vielen Dank an das Team. PS. Wenn ihr noch den ElbowLever als Übung anbietet dann kaufe ich ein Livetime Abo….. oder wenn ich 50% der Skills ohne Pro erreicht habe 💪 … aber das dauert vsi. noch. ### 5/5 — Love the app *2025-11-11, version 5.6.2* I love the app, the only thing I would like is that you can change the excercices for the skills, ### 5/5 — Viele F2P möglichkeiten und faire Preise wenn man bereit ist zu zahlen *2025-11-06* Hab noch ein paar Verbesserungsvorschläge, wie eine kurze Push benachrichtigung jeden Tag um erinnert zu werden, dass man heute noch sein Workout machen muss, die Möglichkeit Freunde zu finden und ihren Fortschritt zu sehen um sich gegenseitig zu supporten und eine kurze Vibration wenn der Timer zwischendurch abgelaufen ist. ### 5/5 — So far so good *2025-09-22, version 5.6.2* Pretty good, but I don’t have pro but it’s decent --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
