However, at 68 years with osteoarthritis, this app does not offer enough customisation to make it safe to use. I kept rating the workouts as too hard, but the changes made were negligible. ### 2/5 — No support *2024-10-14, version 3.11.15* App was fine until it wasn’t. I used the suggested support email to try and get help but was ignored. I did buy this because it looked like they’d be responsive and helpful on my fitness journey but they just want your money and won’t help after they get it BEWARE ### 4/5 — Update Weekly Exercises stopped *2024-04-29, version 3.11.15* Agree with yjnaz, I love the app, but the weekly update in March went several weeks without update and now in April. “Weekly” updates are turning into monthly updates which is not the best exercise program. ### 4/5 — App updates.. *2024-04-21, version 3.11.15* Have to say, this is the best workout app I’ve ever used and I have been using it for years. But recently my Weekly Program hasn’t changed for a month and the app itself has not updated for so many months. I really wonder if there is anybody still maintaining this app… Pls keep this app activated!!! ### 4/5 — Great app, not accurate *2023-04-29, version 3.11.14* I’m loving the app: the workouts are challenging and entertaining. It’s nice to not having to think about what exercise to do, because you can follow along. The negative side is that calories counting is not at all accurate. I end up burning exactly the same calories that are supposed to be burnt, but I know I would have a totally different outcome if I used my regular fitness tracker. Also, the team is not very responsive. ### 1/5 — Terrible app- creators will not respond or refund *2023-04-12, version 3.11.14* Very disappointed in this app. It is very limited in its applications. I’ve reached out to the developers multiple times to request a refund and have not heard anything from them despite their auto reply stating “they will within 24 hours”. Don’t recommend even the free trial. ### 1/5 — Only for Women *2023-03-13, version 3.11.14* No men represented anywhere in the app. Feel like a guy that walked into a female only gym. ### 1/5 — You can do a LOT better than this *2023-02-26, version 3.11.14* The workouts are not live videos taught by verified, certified personal trainers. That alone should make you think twice about using Zova. By extension, you can’t consult with a qualified professional to properly figure out if this platform is geared to your specific needs. The fact that it hasn’t seen a significant update in two years should you how little the developers care, too. Don’t waste your time on this app; hire an in-person certified personal trainer instead for more consistent results. ### 1/5 — Must pay for this app… *2023-02-12, version 3.11.14* I dislike companies that attempt to get as much information from you as they can before letting you know the app is not free. And not cheap at that. The first page should be “this app costs “x” with a free trial “x” days”. That way people can decide. ### 1/5 — Not satisfied *2022-12-28, version 3.11.14* This app is not compatible with other devices. I find it to freeze up, glitch out, and not work properly from iPhone, iPad, or screen mirroring. The examples of exercises are not able to be seen on screen, and the screen “times out” forcing you to constantly touch the screen to continue the workout. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Apple has been fooled, this isn’t “Editor’s Choice” caliber app *2022-10-27, version 3.11.14* Pro: - ZX5 programs are intense and give a good sweat. Cons: - same 3 ZX5 workout program repeat every week - Workout tab only show a handful of workouts, the rest are hidden and only reachable by search. - all workouts other The three ZX5 programs have the bug of showing dark screen instead of video instruction during workout - email customer support, no response whatsoever. I’m really ready to believe that this app is dead and no longer under active development. ### 1/5 — UPDATED REVIEW *2022-06-16, version 3.11.14* The support for the app is awful. Today I tried to load the program and received the following error: “problem loading program - RETRY”. Cannot contact support any way other than e-mail and there is no response. I have loved this app for 3 years but I am ready to cancel. ### 1/5 — Stole my money *2022-03-20, version 3.11.14* I tried to do a free membership with this app, and I don’t know if it was my mistake or the apps mistake but it accidentally made me pay for a year long subscription, which cost me £50! I emailed them as soon as I noticed this error which must’ve only been about a few days later, but they still haven’t replied to me a month later! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — paid *2025-04-24, version 3.11.15* you have to pay ### 1/5 — Awful app *2025-03-16, version 3.11.15* Awful ### 1/5 — Charged without access to platform *2025-02-10, version 3.11.15* I signed up for this app, and was charged the annual fee, but a few weeks after signing up, my account was deactivated. I can’t get ahold of anyone at Zova to see if I can be refunded to gain access that I paid for. ### 1/5 — Subscription costs hidden until you create an account *2025-02-09, version 3.11.15* Their spiel goes on about not resorting to shady tactics and keeping your information safe and not sharing it. If that is the case, then why do you need so much information just to find out how much the app costs. No costs even available on their website. Apps that hide their costs until you’ve provided all of your information are becoming all too common and I refuse to use any app that does this. ### 1/5 — free download not free app *2024-10-21, version 3.11.15* Wanted to try it but know I cant afford it after the seven day free trial. Just another workout app thats only nice to have if you can afford it. ### 1/5 — Sleazy *2024-09-26, version 3.11.15* I feel like apps that force you to enter your email before they tell you this isn’t a free app is so sleazy. Shows me it’s not a good enough app to let me decide on my own if I’d like to give info over. This app is expensive and doesn’t tell you anything until after a quiz and entering your email. ### 1/5 — Awful Upgrade *2024-04-27, version 3.11.15* After upgrading to the new version, it is clear that the creators vision is to take make what was once a Great App and somehow make it horrible. The new version is confusing and all the good from the previous version has been taken away, nowhere to be found. The Apple Watch syned seamlessly in the old version. Now it can't even connect. All you get is a message to open the iPhone App. Damit, the iPhone is open, hwy doesn't it see it. It addition the Watch App no longer seamlessly connect to the Apple TV. This is an awful experience. Now on the lookout for something better. ### 1/5 — Subscription *2024-04-26, version 3.11.15* I opted for the free trial and without notifying me or giving me the chance to turn the offer down the app subscribed me and put my account into overdraft because I don’t have the money for the app. ### 1/5 — I never got to use it *2023-10-27, version 3.11.15* It kept me on the try for free screen and i looked for a x button but couldn't find one. ### 1/5 — greedy capitalists grr *2023-07-12, version 3.11.15* i had this app years ago and there were paid options but i used laid back stretches/yoga type workouts for free. i remember it being amazing. i redownload it today and you *have* to use the subscription or paid trial ??? i was planning on using it for longer than a WEEK. i’m a student, do you think im willing to rake out bloody £7.99 a week or month or whatever absurd price youre making up to stretch ?! incredibly disappointed the way the app was before was great in my opinion, update is awful ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — All you need if the discipline to keep going *2024-11-08, version 3.11.15* This app has is all. I just grab my phone and get to it ANY TIME, ANYWHERE. It’s the zero excuse app to get yourself back on track. I don’t even wear shoes lol! ### 5/5 — Most weeks of the year for four years! Still love it *2024-01-29* This is a great program. I do the workouts times a week. I love that they change most weeks and it is a whole new challenge! I also love that I don’t have to think about what I am going to do the program does it for me. However, it can be glitchy, especially around renewal. And I would say two to three times a year the week doesn’t update. But overall this is the best consistent routine I have ever been on and I plan to keep doing it until I can’t anymore. Thank you for your program! ### 5/5 — Life-Saving *2023-08-26, version 3.11.15* This App is EVERYTHING! It has totally changed my whole relationship with exercise. I’m pumped to workout and I trust the coach to design workouts that help me get fit without over- or under-doing it. ### 5/5 — Sara’s Review *2022-10-29, version 3.11.14* Hi I am 46 years old and once was a beast of an athlete but I’ve let myself get out of shape and unlimber. I love your workouts especially the flexibility ones . Thank you ! ### 5/5 — FINALLY a great workout app!!! *2022-05-11, version 3.11.14* So glad to have given this one a try. I took a chance and subscribed from day one. Best choice. I have tried so many. This app fits my style perfectly. Only things I wish and hope come in future is better Apple Watch features. 1: I’d like to operate this solely by my watch 2: I’d like the option to adjust the guided voice volume. I can barely hear my music k don’t need to constantly hear talking throughout my entire workout. That can really be buzz kill. Overall thanks for great app. ### 5/5 — Great all round fitness app *2022-03-20, version 3.11.14* Zova has replaced the gym. The three classes a week structure is just right for me. Not too much, not too little. Love the mix of hiit, strength and cardio. ### 5/5 — Recovering from a stroke *2022-03-18, version 3.11.14* I was out of shape during COVID and suffered from a stroke. This routine is easy and low impact enough that I could follow along. Short and sweet with great rest in between. It is very achievable even for me. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2022-03-12, version 3.11.14* It really helps me control my mind and body, and I’ve definitely become more fit and calm during my 7 day trial! And it’s not to expensive!!! ### 5/5 — Great daily workout app *2021-11-24, version 3.11.14* Truly enjoy it after two days of tracking my workout ### 5/5 — Almost 2-years and still loving it! *2021-09-28* I love Zova! My ability has varied over the last couple years, but Zova has stayed as my daily go to. I like that I can choose my intensity based on how I feel for the day. Some days I use it on my Apple TV and some days on my phone. I can take it anywhere and that’s nice. I’ve been using the singles each day and I’m still not bored of it. I’m looking forward to trying one of the pre-built Longer̾ sessions soon. My family loves the workouts and stretching and everyone finds something that works for them.
