ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Push Ups Now! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PushFit has 2.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of PushFit's written reviews are positive against 0% of Push Ups Now!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PushFit ships an update every 3 months, Push Ups Now! every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
