Easy to use good data. Few problems or inconsistencies ### 2/5 — Expensive. Basic. *2026-08-06, version 12.111.0* Would like to see more informative analytics, seems like basic metrics and not very useful “fatigue” numbers. Also strength sessions don’t allow you to record details like exercise, weight, reps. Basic stuff. ### 2/5 — Lags *2026-08-03, version 12.111.0* The app lags between five to 20 seconds when switching tabs and/or trying to input information. Adding one simple workout took 10+ minutes as the time between touching the screen and the input box activating took forever, and then the keyboard took 30 more seconds to appear. ### 2/5 — Extremely sluggish now *2026-08-02, version 12.111.0* Used to work perfectly however recent update has made it extremely sluggish, text input has a 5-10seconds delay. Hope it gets fixed or I will move on to something else ### 2/5 — Annoying *2026-07-30, version 12.111.0* Annoying ### 4/5 — Ótimo app *2026-06-26* Muito bom para acompanhar os treinos porém sinto falta de mostrar os tempos da volta por km como no Garmin. Tambem acho q é necessário maior organização visual para visualizar as instruções dos treinos. ### 2/5 — Slow response to screen touch *2026-06-25, version 12.108.1* Usability of the app is brutal- any touch to edit inputs or change screens etc takes anywhere from ~3-10 seconds to respond. There is no indicator showing the tap succeeded either so you sit there wondering if it’s the phone or the app. Retapping stacks the inputs so it eventually navigates somewhere you don’t want to be and have go through another frustrating process of pausing 10s between taps. Almost unusable- if it wasn’t the platform my coach uses there is no way I could justify paying for it (but the free version is very limited with continual reminders to upgrade ) ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2026-06-13, version 12.108.0* App stops working randomly. Shows login screen. Login does not work( right credentials). Then few hours later app is logged in shows all activities. ### 3/5 — Muito caro *2026-06-01* Pelo valor e a métricas que fornece é melhor usar o app laranja **Developer response:** Agradecemos o seu feedback. Sabemos que existem outras opções no mercado, como o Strava, mas o foco do TrainingPeaks é fornecer métricas avançadas e análises profundas para um treinamento estruturado e acompanhamento com treinadores. Se houver recursos específicos que você gostaria de ver para justificar o valor, envie para support@trainingpeaks.com. ### 2/5 — Great web based but the app is buggy and a hassle *2026-05-29, version 12.107.0* Let me be clear, I have been using training peaks now for a long while, the web based version is great and easy to use! But the app is so underwhelming to use as a coach. It’s hard to edit workouts and overall just a hassle to deal with! Wherever possible I log in using my browser. I wish for a smoother experience both on my iPad and iPhone. ### 5/5 — Very good app *2026-05-27, version 12.106.0* Very helpful if you enjoyed structured training plan, although some things are easier on the computer than the app ### 5/5 — A Must Have.. *2026-05-26, version 12.106.0* …for everyone taking their training seriously. But can we please have more and better widgets? ### 4/5 — Top App for Metrics *2026-05-25, version 12.106.0* Perfectly Accountable, As a Self Proclaimed Metrics Nerd, I Absolutely Love Training Peaks almost as much as my Coach, When He populates my Week I plan Life Around it and when Doing the Workouts I Know that I am Fully Accountable and know that If I pass on Sets or Intervals “Coach Knows” 🤣 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Clunky with no support *2026-08-08, version 12.111.0* The app has always been frustrating in many ways, but lately developers are actively making it less functional and offer zero support to paid users. Their responses to bug reports, feature requests, and troubleshooting is pathetic. ### 1/5 — Slow and tired app *2026-07-09, version 12.109.0* This app burns away any zen moment I had after my workout. It is so frustrating to watch the spinning circle of death while the app refreshes. It is slow that it is useless. ### 1/5 — Buggy and sluggish, false privacy statements *2026-07-07, version 12.109.0* Keeps trying to connect to advertising/tracking servers, newrelic and segment…. But these are blocked as spyware by firewall so the app freezes all the time. Only use this to sync training data but even that it fails at. I did a warm up ride and it confused that with my daily workout in TrainingPeaks… ugh. Ditch and app and use the website ### 1/5 — Free App is pointless *2026-06-23, version 12.108.1* Literally everything is behind a paywall/subscription. With everything so locked down I don’t even know what I would get out of premium. ### 1/5 — Platform ok, iOS app functions severely lacking *2026-06-06, version 12.107.0* App should adapt to heavy phone usage but this platform is still designed to be used from a computer. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — Harasses you constantly *2026-05-20, version 12.106.0* Using the free version is obnoxious, the app constantly asks you to upgrade to premium. Every single time you wake your phone it shows the same pop up over half of your screen. I understand that you have a premium version, if I want it I’ll upgrade on my own. Just for this reason I’ll never upgrade. ### 1/5 — Annoying subscription offers *2026-05-19, version 12.106.0* The app sends subscription offers too many times, very annoying. Also it’s not possible to trim workout if not subscribed ### 1/5 — not good *2026-05-01, version 12.105.0* it’s so laggy and the app is cluttered and messy and i cant even connect my garmin watch to it. do not get those useless app ### 1/5 — Unusably slow and laggy on iPhone *2026-04-29, version 12.104.0* Trying to view and update workouts on iPhone is unbearably slow. Can’t even update things like TSS because the keyboard won’t show up. Love using the TP platform overall but the app experience is woeful. Please optimise it ### 1/5 — Slow load times *2026-04-25, version 12.104.0* Not sure what has happened in recent updates, but the app is now running incredibly slow. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best training app *2026-08-23* Gives the most complete information about training, im linking the most ### 5/5 — Good 👍 *2026-08-06, version 12.111.0* 👍👌 ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-08-02* Sensacional ### 5/5 — Sensacional *2026-07-18* App muito completo, muito bom mesmo ### 5/5 — Learning curve for sure *2026-07-04, version 12.109.0* Expect to spend significant amount of time learning to use this complex and powerful resource. There’s just no way to spoon feed to fill utility of this app. To an athlete. You’re just gonna have to read some articles and figure it out overtime. ### 5/5 — Core training app *2026-06-30, version 12.109.0* Does a great job of aggregating all of the workouts and displaying key information ### 5/5 — O melhor *2026-06-29* Top, funciona super bem. 👊🏽👊🏽 ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2026-06-27, version 12.108.1* I’m a big fan of TP. I’ve been using it on and off for 5 years now. I love being able to create workouts and save them for later. The platform works well for planning training blocks and comparing efforts. ### 5/5 — Years of ease, subscription is worth it *2026-06-07, version 12.107.0* Seemless with so many apps, used for years without the subscription but recently bumped up to include the virtual apps as well and well worth the value and some great insights into your fitness ### 5/5 — Next Level *2026-06-02, version 12.107.0* This app is easy to use and yet has lots of data to “grow into”. The link to my Garmin is outstanding. I also love being able to message my coach from the App. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
