It would be convenient to have the ability to access and log/track workouts and the majority of Apple Health stats/data from Apple Watch as well as on iPhone, and even iPad. ### 3/5 — Issue fixed *2026-08-05, version 8.32.0* I want to update my prior review that my issue has been fixed although I did have to email again for status. Thank you! ### 2/5 — Constant Upselling *2026-07-22, version 8.30.0* The app is pretty decent, although not nearly as fluid to use as Macrofactor Workouts. However, I just can’t get over the constant nags to pay more money. I already am paying for a program, please stop asking for even more money. ### 4/5 — Great! *2026-06-02* I enjoy using the app. Very easy to navigate and follow. The variety of plans to follow has something for any goal. My only gripe about the app/ something I would like to see in an update is an easier way setting up your weekly routine. Most plans will generate a plan with built in rest and working days, I’d rather be able to set those days on my own and the plan fills in around this. Otherwise I’m constantly having to manually adjust the days on my own to align with my personal schedule and availability. For example if I want my rest days to be Tuesday/ Thursday, I can format this as I’m choosing to add a plan to my calendar and the plan will only schedule workouts on the remaining days that are not rest days. It’s tedious to have to go back and adjust the entire plan. **Developer response:** Hi there, Thanks for leaving a review and sharing your feedback. I have logged your thoughts and opinions to share with the team. It would be great to be able to tell the software what days are rest and work days and the program to then be placed in the calendar around your personal schedule. If you have any further feedback or questions, be sure to reach out to us at support@trainheroic.com. ### 4/5 — Lagging on launch *2026-05-11, version 8.24.0* Lags alot of the time when opening and wont let you load new workouts 100% of the time, other then that a wicked app ### 3/5 — Frustrating *2026-05-05, version 8.23.0* Freezes, slow, crashes. Only using it because that’s what paragon uses. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-04-17, version 8.21.0* Constantly glitches. Timers always just disappear randomly so you have no idea how long you’ve been resting for etc. If all my past workouts weren’t saved in this app I’d get rid of it straight away. ### 1/5 — Keeps saying email invalid *2026-04-14, version 8.21.0* Can’t use this app. It keeps saying my email is invalid and not create and account. I’ve tried 3 different emails. Support isn’t responding. ### 1/5 — Repeat programs *2026-04-14, version 8.21.0* I have tried to remove programs from my calendar that are posted multiple times. I have removed the program and added it multiple times and all it does is put it in there twice. Super annoying to navigate when you have so many programs repeated in the calendar. They need to fix this asap ### 4/5 — Calendar won’t sync w/library *2026-04-12, version 8.19.0* I’ve used this app for years and it’s been really good. But am now encountering an annoying bug. I’ve always edited my calendar via the library. But now I can’t remove programs I added to preview from the calendar. I’ve signed out and in, deleted and replaced app and restarted iPhone. So annoying. But app is awesome so I hope they can find a fix! ### 1/5 — Good workouts poor app *2026-04-09, version 8.19.0* I’ve removed a program from my calendar plenty of times yet it refuses to delete, making this confusing and unusable. ### 3/5 — App Glitches *2026-03-17, version 8.17.0* The workouts themselves are great, which is why I gave this app 3 out of 5 stars. However, the app experience needs improvement. I’ve noticed that it tends to glitch at the most inconvenient times — especially during workouts. For example, when trying to look up the next exercise or track progress, the app will randomly log me out or time out. Even after logging back in, it sometimes immediately times out again. This creates a frustrating experience, particularly when you’re in the middle of a workout and trying to stay focused. Overall, the programming and workouts are solid, but the app’s stability and reliability definitely need work. ### 1/5 — Awful Support and glitchy app *2026-03-05, version 8.15.0* I reported a bug with the app in November and they’ve still done nothing about it. If you are a coach, I don’t recommend using their program. Should you decide to leave, there’s no way to export your clients’ data or programs you’ve written. ### 2/5 — Patch needed *2026-03-03* I’ve been using for the past 5 years as a coach and the loading screen is taking forever to get a clients program. The app will exit mid workout and a few random things. Needs an update badly ### 1/5 — Impossible to join program I actually want *2026-03-02, version 8.15.0* I know what program I want. When using the website, it’s fully functional until I hit the “Try 7 day trial” button and then I just get a blank screen with a rotating circle. Tried multiple browsers, no luck. So I decided to try through the app but you can’t just browse all programs there which is ridiculous. It only funnels you to a handful of preselected programs, probably the ones with the highest take for the app. The amount of friction this app creates to just get started is dumb. I’ve picked a different program through a different app and gave the program creator a heads up. ### 3/5 — Buggy at times, super slow and laggy at worse *2026-02-10* I have been using Trainheroic for roughly 2 years now, and first, the positives are the programming for group training sessions works really well. That’s where the positives end. I had more issues with the app as a coach and clients have reported slow load times or random crashes and throwing off the session or not saving last entries well. The app isn’t friendly and seems more optimized for desktop use. I use this app for in person training 1-on-1 and group training and it has been so frustrating to use that at times I just end up writing the program on index cards just in case the app doesn’t work. While I appreciate the updates, it hasn’t helped with performance issues and the messaging in app is just not good. Especially for group coaching messaging. If you’re strictly desktop/laptop then it’s worth it, otherwise in person and app use. Go for another app. The only reason I haven’t tried a new app is because of the large roster of clients already are in the app so transferring apps is a huge hassle. **Developer response:** Hi there, First, thank you for sticking with us for two years. We sincerely appreciate the loyalty, though it’s tough to hear that the experience has reached a point where you're reaching for index cards just to get through a session. That is definitely not the "performance" we want to be known for. We want to make sure the app works as hard as you do during those 1-on-1 and group sessions. We’d love the chance to look into those specific syncing and crash issues—and to hear your specific thoughts on how we can make the messaging more intuitive for your roster. Please reach out to us at support@trainheroic.com. We’d like to have a specialist dive into your account and see how we can stabilize things so you can get back to coaching and put the pen and paper away. ### 2/5 — One MAJOR issue *2026-02-07, version 8.12.0* The app is great first one I’ve found that does what I need exactly but I refuse to pay for this until I can ADD EXERCISES in the middle. You can swap exercises or add to the end, why can’t I change the order of my exercises or add new ones In the middle. It’s driving me insane and I will probably look for a new app until they add this ### 4/5 — Great App, But *2026-02-02, version 8.11.0* Love the app! Great for easy tracking. But there is a bug where it takes multiple tries to create a new workout. When I click the plus and create session, nothing happens. Eventually after 20 tries, it works. ### 1/5 — Over charge *2026-01-22, version 8.10.0* It was good until I realized they were charging me 31 bucks a month and I didn’t even have the pro which is 30 a year. Doesn’t make any sense. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very Limited *2026-08-04, version 8.31.0* With no web interface, usage of this app is effectively required to view training programs, but it only supports iPhone interfaces, not even iPad (so it could be at least somewhat usable on a Mac). So you’re stuck with trying to view and navigate all content on a tiny screen or window, watch training videos and try to see technique details on that tiny screen, etc. Its also very calendar-oriented, which makes it annoying to just browse around training programs you’ve purchased without tying it to specific dates. ### 1/5 — LS Fit- Luke Symonds *2026-07-23, version 8.30.0* Very immature coach . Don’t recommend signing up to any programs he is offering. Blocks and deletes people over a minor inconvenience and doesn’t allow time to resolve issue. Stay away from his programs !! ### 1/5 — Unusable: Buggy. 1st time my PT used this *2026-06-29* Basically this app is unusable for me for my PT prescribed exercises. Sending her the news she’ll have to send them via email instead. Downloaded today. Working from my Mac using latest version Tahoe. Hangs up after the first video prescribed by my PT. Plays it but doesn’t let me return to list. Screen is tiny as tho mirroring a phone. Can see a timer peeking out from home window (I presume) in upper R corner but can’t click out of video window to reach it. Have to close the app each time I want to go to the next vid. The videos didn’t save properly. The exact same vid shows up under the “Prep” category for each exercise. Same with the “Strength/Power” section. Have let her know. Also had bugs at create account screen which didn’t show captcha at first. Rebooted app and found it but then it still hung up 3 times (had to close app each time). At one point I could see some backend verbiage at bottom peaking out from some other unknown window. Very strange. **Developer response:** Hi there Thank you for the detailed feedback. I am incredibly sorry for this frustrating experience, especially when you are trying to follow important PT-prescribed exercises. Please reach out to our customer support team directly at support@trainheroic.com so we can look at your account details, gather more information about your Mac setup, and help get this sorted out for you. We appreciate your patience and hope to get this resolved for you quickly. Best regards, ### 1/5 — Slow *2026-06-10, version 8.27.0* The app is good for tracking workouts but app itself is the slowest app I have ever encountered. There are times I have to open and close the app numerous times with no result forcing me to try again at a later time. I have had it for years and updated multiple times still no change. Also after logging a workout and closing the app it will be gone when I open the app again forcing me to log again. I love the app haven’t deleted but that’s probably because I’m used to it and don’t know what app to get instead. I plan to find something new if I can and there are no changes to this one. ### 1/5 — Just awful *2026-06-01, version 8.26.0* Really bad user experience all around. Most frustrating is that if you miss a session it messes up the schedule of your entire program. Sure, you can move a single session, but what I am sick for a week?! Other apps just push the plan back keeping the order of sessions. Not this app! Sessions stay on the day they were originally scheduled whether you completed them or not. Now I’ve got week 1 sessions mixed in with week 5. It’s a mess. And there doesn’t seem to be a way to get an overview of the whole plan. I get that coaches like an easy way to deliver plans, but as an end user this is utter trash. Can’t wait to finish my program and never come back. ### 1/5 — Zero history *2026-05-22, version 8.25.0* As soon as you stop your subscription you loose access to all the historical data you paid for over months and months. All those training sessions, gone. Epic BS. ### 1/5 — Can’t even sign up *2026-05-15, version 8.24.0* Keeps telling me email invalid ### 1/5 — Website *2026-05-11* I do not like the fact that the website is no longer supporting access to the workouts. ### 1/5 — Poor app. *2026-04-24, version 8.22.0* There is no laptop/desktop interface. Difficult to use. I bought a program and I’ll never use it because it uses this app. ### 1/5 — Not a good app, hard to use, can’t modify easily enough *2026-04-22, version 8.22.0* Been using the app for over a month now and sorry to say, but it kind of sucks. Programs are very limited, tough to import your own, actually not sure if you even can, adding exercises to a program that you have imported is a pain and you can’t alter the order of the exercises themselves, which is ridiculous. It’s also tough to find exercises when you search for them, you have to get the name exactly right and there’s multiple entries for some exercises so if you don’t get the exact entry, then it’s like you’ve never done the exercise in the past even though you have. Overall, very disappointed in it and definitely not worth the price that they’re asking. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This app is amazing *2026-08-01, version 8.31.0* Whenever you completed your workout it gave you a summary and how much weight you lifted in all. It also let you filled out what weight you used for each workout and when ever you didn’t know what to do there is a YouTube video under each workout. This app is and easy 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-09-18, version 7.30.0* My coach and I love this app ### 5/5 — Perfection *2025-07-20* All I need to improve my workout ### 5/5 — Best app, needs apple integration *2025-06-23, version 7.24.0* I’ve used many fitness apps, and this one is best so far. Just needs to integrate with Apple Watch for seamless tracking. ### 5/5 — AWESOME APP *2025-06-18, version 7.24.0* Awesome app. Use for my sessions ### 5/5 — Ski prep and overall fitness *2025-04-16, version 7.24.0* Great app with my fav John Collinson base camp. Feel prepped and ready for skiing and other activities. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-04-05, version 7.24.0* Easy for kids like me to use ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-04-04, version 7.24.0* This is one of the best Work out apps for Football and other sports,Keep it up ### 5/5 — Matt Wenning Tactical Training *2025-03-29, version 7.24.0* Excellent program for beginners to advanced. ### 5/5 — Getting Stronger *2025-03-19, version 7.24.0* Almost finished with the Strength-Better Deadlift, Bigger Bench, Heavy Squat training by Top Tier Training USA. I definitely am getting stronger, feeling better and confident. Gaining muscle along the way!
