Nettes Tool

Seit ich das Programm habe, nutze ich Sozial Media tatsächlich wenig. Es wäre toll, wenn man weniger Zeit als die vorgebenden 15 Minuten nutzen könnte!"

Response from developer

Danke für deine tolle Bewertung! Super zu hören, dass unser Tool dir hilft, weniger Zeit in den sozialen Medien zu verbringen. Wir verstehen deinen Wunsch, die Nutzungszeit unter die aktuellen 15 Minuten zu reduzieren – das ist ein wertvoller Hinweis. Wir geben das Feedback an unser Team weiter, um die App weiter zu verbessern. Wenn du Fragen oder weitere Ideen hast, melde dich gern bei uns. Bleib dran und viel Erfolg weiterhin!

Love the concept - needs integration

I LOVE this concept - honestly bought the year subscription without doing my research I was so excited about this app. I like the exercise options, and that steps count…and then I found the caveat: the app itself reads steps, with your phone. It cannot sync to Apple Fitness to read my watch or read walks my treadmill reports to Fitness. I will be back with an open wallet as soon as this comes through!! I just don’t want to have to have my phone in my pocket, especially when I’m walking at my desk.

Response from developer

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for your enthusiasm—it really means a lot! We understand how useful syncing with Apple Fitness and other devices would be to make tracking steps easier without having your phone in your pocket. Right now, we rely on your phone’s sensors for step counting, but we’re exploring ways to improve integration and make the experience smoother. We’ll definitely pass along your feedback to the team. Looking forward to having you back with an open wallet when those updates land! Thanks again for being part of the Workout Locker community.

Good for kids

This is better for kids

Response from developer

Thanks for the great review! We're glad to hear you find Workout Locker good for kids. Making exercise accessible and fun for all ages is something we really care about. We’ll keep working to make it even better for younger users. If you have any ideas or feedback, feel free to share. Keep enjoying the workouts!

Love it

It really motivated me to do my workout the way I like.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the 5 stars! We're thrilled to hear Workout Locker is motivating you to do your workouts your way—that’s exactly what we’re aiming for. We’re excited to keep making the app better and supporting your fitness journey. Keep it up!

Does not work

For $50 USD, I expected so much more. Great in theory, but it does not consistently or effectively read your movements and you end up doing 2 or 3 times the number of exercises.

Response from developer

Thanks for the candid review, and sorry for the frustration. We hear you on the $50—subscriptions aren't for everyone. Detection shouldn’t make you do 2–3x the reps. We’re actively improving tracking and would love to troubleshoot your setup—please reach out to our support team. Your feedback helps us keep getting better.

I want my money back

• Rep counting is unreliable. I wait for the green signal and do reps slowly and deliberately, and it still doesn’t count them.
• Requires form-fitting clothing to function at all. Having to change clothes just to use a fitness app is a ridiculous barrier.
• Exercise recognition is extremely limited. Jumping jacks are tracked somewhat reliably. Squats, a bit less so. Lunges and planks aren’t recognized at all.
• No Apple Watch integration. Why can’t this use my Watch to track activity? I shouldn’t have to carry a phone with pockets just to track a walk.
• No modified push-up option. I can’t do standard push-ups, and there’s no way to log a modified version — not that I’m confident it would track those correctly either.

Right now it doesn’t reliably do the one thing it’s supposed to do. Would appreciate an actual response from the team, and some real functionality fixes. I emailed the developer regarding all of this, but no response. Fake reviews are a gross way to scam subscribers. I’m going to put my time to Instagram to use and warn others.

Response from developer

Thanks for sharing your detailed thoughts. We’re sorry to hear the rep counting and exercise recognition have been unreliable for you—that’s definitely frustrating when you’re putting in the effort. We understand that requiring form-fitting clothes and the lack of Apple Watch integration make using the app more difficult, and that missing options like modified push-ups limit how well it fits different needs. We’re actively looking into ways to improve detection and expand exercise options, and your feedback will help guide those efforts. We also want to make sure everyone reaches us if they need help, so please try contacting our support team again—we truly want to assist. Thanks again for the honest input; it helps us keep getting better.

Helps Build Better Habits

I started using this when I noticed my motivation to keep moving was slowing down. I like that I pushed to exercise a bit when I want to scroll mindlessly. I actually locked my tv shows on my phone too so I have to stop watching and get some exercise in. Not only is it helping me exercise but it helps me be more present and on my phone less in general!

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the fantastic review! We're really glad to hear Workout Locker is helping boost your motivation and nudge you away from mindless scrolling. Locking your TV shows to get moving is such a smart move—love that it’s helping you be more present both in your workouts and with your phone time. We’re excited to keep improving and supporting your journey to better habits!

Looks great— *but* $ubscription for non-subscription service.

Yeah, just that. I’ll subscribe to a newspaper because that software requires a subscription model— and I will pay a fair one-time fee and fees for version upgrades if I feel an upgrade is worth it— but I graciously decline a subscription for one and done software. Please consider changing your model, as I really like what you offer.

Easy and effective

It’s so easy to use and has cut down on my mindless scrolling. It adds a little activity and encourages me to stay focused. Definitely would recommend!

👍

Works as advertised. It’s helped me cut my screen time in half. Although you do have to pay a subscription to do any workouts other than squats.

Response from developer

You’re right that our subscription unlocks the full workout range beyond squats; this helps us keep improving the app and delivering fresh content.

Ummm….??

Why are my apps now not locked? First 24 hours went well, but now everything is unlocked…. So this isn’t working as advertised.

Response from developer

Thanks for sharing your experience, and sorry to hear that your apps aren’t locking as expected after the first day. We understand how that can be confusing and frustrating. Sometimes there can be hiccups with the locking feature, and we’re actively looking into ways to make it more reliable.

We appreciate you giving it a try and hope to get things working better for you soon!

Can’t delete

Downloaded but after finding out cost tried deleting app but it requests code which I never added one so nothing worked so can’t even delete the app

Response from developer

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We understand how frustrating it can be when the app won’t let you delete downloaded content or the app itself. That code request is meant as a security feature, but we know it can be confusing if you never set one up. We’re sharing your feedback with the team to see how we can make this clearer and easier to manage. If you want a hand with this, please reach out to our support team—they’d be happy to help you sort it out. We appreciate you giving Workout Locker a try and hope we can improve your experience in the future.

Nul…

La capture des mouvements est instable.
Le temps ne se cumule pas lorsque vous faites un exercice, mais doit être utilisé immédiatement. C’est complètement contre intuitif et inadapté au quotidien.
Fuyez!!!
Perso j’ai demandé mon remboursement.

Response from developer

Merci d’avoir pris le temps de nous faire part de votre ressenti. Nous sommes désolés que la capture des mouvements vous ait semblé instable et que le fonctionnement du temps d’exercice ne corresponde pas à vos attentes. Votre remarque sur la non-cumulativité du temps est importante, et nous comprenons que cela puisse sembler contre-intuitif au quotidien. Nous partageons vos retours avec l’équipe pour continuer à améliorer l’expérience. N’hésitez pas à contacter notre support si vous souhaitez échanger davantage. Merci encore, et nous espérons pouvoir mieux répondre à vos besoins à l’avenir.

Unlocking Exercices

How do I unlock New exercises? I only see squats
