Was referred to this app by a friend a year ago…. Now you’ve become like all the other apps out there, taking things away and charging money. Making it more complicated as well. I still give 4 stars, as all my food I’ve ever logged is still in there so i can find it quickly. Please don’t get too big for your britches like the other apps and you’ll do fine. **Developer response:** Hi big bad S, We really appreciate you sharing this and for sticking with us. We hear you on keeping things simple and easy. As the app has grown into a more complete solution with coaching, workouts, and nutrition, some features, such as the scanner, have moved to premium, but the manual food tracker is still free. We'd love to keep helping you, email support@trainest.com and let's find something that works. - Trainest Team ### 4/5 — Love the app, too many updates *2026-02-27, version 4.1.3* I love the app for tracking calories, the software is modern and innovative. My only complaint is how often the app is updated. This sounds like a great thing, but I often have to update the app prior to logging and that is inconvenient. ### 4/5 — Great! *2026-02-21, version 4.1.1* You don’t have to manually type in your food or meals which I love and you have a coach available to you through text or scheduled phone call and your program includes warm-ups and cool downs. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-02-20* I've been using trainest for 2 weeks now and i absolutely love it. It has so many cool features and it allows me to hold myself accountable on almost all aspects on my fitness journey. If you haven't gave it a go i highly recommend! **Developer response:** Thank you for the amazing review baldiefriend!

It’s a tailored to me, personal experience which means I know I am doing what’s best for my goals and my body. Logging my food has never been easier and the workouts are absolutely awesome. I love that I can put in the equipment I have available to me and my workouts get tailored to that. **Developer response:** Hi TiredMomWalks, thank you so much for this thoughtful review!

Me sentía que no podía hacer nada y con la ayuda de los coches y platicar con ellos decirle en mi situación. Me crearon un programa de ejercicio adecuado para mis necesidades. ### 5/5 — Loving the new features! *2026-02-04, version 4.0.8* This is my new favorite all in one fitness app. Highly recommend to anyone getting serious on their journey. ### 5/5 — One stop shop *2026-02-04, version 4.0.8* I’ve been using TrainEst for meal tracking and the live coaching programs for stretching. Very professional service. Quick reply’s and check inns ! I love the app more and more I use it. ### 5/5 — I love trainestcoach *2026-02-03, version 4.0.8* I really like this app it makes my life so much easier . I can track my macros just by taking one picture of my food , which saves me so much time . The workouts routines are also super complete and easy to follow . ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-02-02, version 4.0.8* This is the easiest one to use. ### 5/5 — Best Fitness App! *2026-01-24, version 4.0.8* This is a very thoughtful & well-designed app! 1. The food tracker is the easiest I’ve ever used; it’s very simple to toggle back & forth between Smartscan and/or adding individual items. 2. The exercise sessions are well-designed & very easy to follow; super clear visuals + clarifying directions work well together. 3. The personal response is amazing — I can’t believe how fast the team responds to questions. 4. The accountability factor is built to be supportive. Every time I’ve struggled with something, the team has been fast to offer a solution. ### 5/5 — Quick and Easy *2026-01-23, version 4.0.8* I’ve been using this app for awhile now and I love how convenient and easy it is. You can scan the bar code or type in a food and they have every food I’ve ever scanned/looked up. They suggest calories for you or you can manually put them in. It makes it very easy. I’ve tried other apps but always come back to Trainest. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-01-22, version 4.0.8* Great app! Tracking my calories has never been easier! Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Amazing customer support!! *2026-01-22* I always use the Trainest app to track my nutrition. It showed I needed to update my app, which I did and suddenly I’m being asked workout questions and told to give my phone number so I can receive my 2 week trial of premium coaching?? I just wanted to track my breakfast!! What happened?? Did I miss something? Update!! I received the best customer support. They answered my questions and walked me through the changes. They even followed up- twice!! Wonderful experience!!!! **Developer response:** Hi Garden girl 5, thank you so much for sharing this.

Happy tracking! - Trainest Team ### 5/5 — This app keeps me consistent! *2026-01-21* Ive been using Trainest consistently for months now and it’s completely changed how I approach my workouts. Everything is structured and east to follow, which takes the guesswork out of training. I love that the app keeps me accountable while still feeling flexible and realistic. The workouts are well thought out, challenging without being overwhelming, and easy to fit into my routine. Ive noticed real progress in my strength and consistency since using it! If youre someone who wants guidance, structure, and motivation without feeling intimidated, Trainest is such a great option! I highly recommend! **Developer response:** Hi Amber, thank you so much for this amazing review!

Thanks for recommending Trainest to others who want guidance without feeling overwhelmed. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to reach out at support@trainest.com. Keep crushing it! - Trainest Team ### 5/5 — Easy to use and makes sense *2026-01-19, version 4.0.8* I have been using this app for awhile now and I have not been able to find another tracking app that gives me the flexibility and the insight that I need. ### 4/5 — 4.5 stars! *2026-01-17* The owner of the gym I attend suggested that I try Trainest to track my nutrition intake (protein, carbs and fat). I found it very easy to use. You can scan UPC codes to immediately track an item or use the search function to find various foods to track. You can also create meals for one-click tracking (once it’s set up), making it easy to add when you use the same recipes over and over. The app provides so much insight into what I’m putting in my body- I realized quickly that I needed to reduce fat intake and amp up protein. And since I’ve been able to take the pounds off. I love being able to track and make adjustments as needed based on my goals. Great app and I would highly recommend it for anyone who needs insight into their nutritional needs. Wish I could give it 4.5 stars! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this detailed review and for sharing your experience! It's awesome to hear that your gym owner recommended Trainest and that it's been helping you hit your nutrition goals. We're glad the barcode scanner and meal creation features are making tracking simple for you. That's exactly what we were going for: making nutrition tracking easy enough that you actually stick with it. And the fact that you're seeing real results, reducing fat, increasing protein, and losing weight, that's what it's all about. If you ever need anything or have suggestions on how we can get to that full 5, don't hesitate to reach out at support@trainest.com. - Trainest Team ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wiped my info and now has an obnoxious onboarding *2026-03-06, version 4.1.3* I used to use this app for tracking calories, but after an update, it removed my stuff and now has a long and obnoxious on boarding process and an obnoxious coach thing that you can’t skip ### 1/5 — No longer free *2026-01-03, version 4.0.5* The barcode scan and AI scan for food is no longer free. Greed at its finest. ### 1/5 — Now charges for use of tracker *2026-01-01, version 4.0.5* Everyone has to capitalize on something these days. I been using the scan on here for free for a year and recently I can’t scan the barcode for my food without buying a subscription -_- ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2024-11-01, version 2.1.2* Worst app it won’t open at all it logged me out and no matter what i do i can’t access my account or login or even reset my password waste of time ### 2/5 — Ruined *2026-01-05, version 4.0.6* What a way to ruin your app like let’s take the one thing yall have going for yall that is free away. Making us pay for the barcode scanner when it used to be free like give us that back. No one could care less about the ai food scanner like the ai scanner doesn’t know I am hiding a pound of mayonnaise under my sandwich like yall are very slow ### 2/5 — scammer doesnt work.. *2024-07-15, version 2.1.1* i only got this app for the free scanner but it doesnt work. ill be sitting there, holding my ohone to the barcode for 5 minutes and nothing. im very disappointed because i was very excited to see a entirely free calorie tracker ### 3/5 — I used to love it! But… *2026-01-22* I have been using Trainest to track my calories for almost a year now. I am thankful for how the Trainest app has served me well in the last year, and in my weight loss journey. I loved how easy it was to scan my food and enter my calories. I also loved the ability to input my measurements, as I was at one point not losing pounds, but was losing inches. In the last week, the Trainest app has sadly not allowed me to use the barcode scanner, something that was very alluring about their app in the first place, without a paid subscription. As someone who is on a tight budget, who does not need the training services, and is short on time with two littles, this was very disappointing to me. I cannot afford to pay the service fee for the barcode scanner. I do appreciate that the manual entry is still available, however, this is very time consuming, especially if I am looking for a lesser known food brand. I will probably continue to use the app as I don’t see any other option, but I truly wish they would consider bringing the barcode scanner back (not even the AI, I never used it!). This would mean a lot to those of us with limited time and resources but who want to live a healthy life! **Developer response:** Hi Jaybird, thank you for using Trainest for almost a year and for sharing your honest feedback. We really appreciate your loyalty and are glad the app has been part of your weight loss journey. Recently, Trainest has evolved into a more complete fitness solution with coaching, workouts, and nutrition all in one place. This meant restructuring some features along the way. The barcode scanner was moved to paid, but the manual food tracker with our 4 million+ food database is still completely free. We've noted your feedback about the scanner, and it truly means a lot that you took the time to share this. We're always listening and looking for ways to make tracking easier for everyone. Thank you for sticking with us despite the changes. If there's ever anything we can help with, please reach out at support@trainest.com. ### 3/5 — Did something change? *2025-12-27* I always use the Trainest app to track my nutrition. It showed I needed to update my app, which I did and suddenly I’m being asked workout questions and told to give my phone number so I can receive my 2 week trial of premium coaching?? I just wanted to track my breakfast!! What happened?? Did I miss something? **Developer response:** Hi Garden girl 5, Thank you for your feedback. You can absolutely still use Trainest to track your nutrition without the coaching program; the basic nutrition tracking will always be free and accessible. The 14-day coaching is complementary (no card needed, no AI, no data selling). To access your nutrition tracking, simply tap the Trainest icon at the bottom center of your screen. This opens the main menu, where you’ll find the nutrition tracker to track your meals. If you need help navigating the update, please email support@trainest.com, and we'll assist you personally. Best regards - The Trainest Team ### 3/5 — I really want to live this app *2024-05-31, version 2.1.0* Every time I go to check in I put my info in and submit it just load.
