1. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Greedy POS. I got this app shortly after its launch. I used it to develop a routine. It never required payment or a login. After years of having it and only periodically using it to find new workouts i have discovered how greedy the developers have become. This app is absolutely garbage now as i won’t pay for something ive had so long without having to nor give my information to for an acct.

2. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   App is Regressing behind paywall. I have had this app since my iPod touch days and have seen its ups and its downs. It used to be great. However, they have been, little by little, reducing features behind a very high paywall. They used to have suggested workouts for body groups but now the app is practically useless you pay as all you can do is search for a specific workout and create a workout on your own. There’s better apps out there for free now. Real shame.

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Waste of money. Ever since they updated their app everything is glitchy, workouts don’t show up, and the workout programs are blank. When I sent a message to tech support I heard nothing back.

4. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Spams you for premium. Downloaded this app to try it out. There were SO MANY upsells for the premium plan, I finally got mad and just deleted it. It didn’t even give me a chance to try out the app before aggressively pushing the premium plan. Really rude.

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Complicated and too much equipment. I opened the app and I saw a bunch of pictures and types of workouts I was waiting for a tutorial for like 10 seconds then tap on something it says I have to have six 2 pound dumbbells and a pull-up bar I’m like why I tap on no weights workout and it’s like u must have a super expensive pull-up bar even though we know ur at home u must have this. It’s so annoying

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   App has deteriorated over the years. Used to be decent but is now subpar and constantly trying to get you to subscribe

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Waste of money. Pay money to literally open the app and wants more money. Trash. Then you pay again and what is to say you still get nothing. Asinine.

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   New developers non responsive. I’ve used this app for about 3-4 years now. Originally I would say it was 3 stars. There are a few bugs that still exist, like if you delete an exercise mid workout, the app will crash. However, my subscription renewed last month, but I lost my premium features. After contacting (Azumio) they told me they no longer are the developers. I then contacted Kodeon, and unfortunately they have yet to reply and it’s been a week. I reached out to Apple Support for a refund. Luckily they approved.

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Keeps crashing. I cannot keep this app open for more then 30 seconds once I start a workout. I will contact my credit card company and demand a refund,as they have not provided me with the service I signed up for! Terrible.

10. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Complete scam. The most horrible app I have purchased. Having in-app ads and another subscription model in a paid app is disgusting.

11. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Was always buggy but now terrible. I’ve used for years and dealt with the bugs because it had all my history. However, without warning a bunch of exercises I’ve done before are now behind a paywall and the app is crashing mid workout. Time to find something else.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Lots of bugs. First the workouts are great. However, at least once week I am not able to open the training plans, then need to email for the corrections, then can open them a couple days later only to not be able to the following week

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Super buggy after latest update. Been using for well over a decade. Always been a bit buggy with occasional crashes and lost workouts midway through. After latest update won’t load custom workouts or exercises. Crashes constantly or premium sign up screen pops up constantly and need to dismiss 3-5 times in a row. Have tried premium version in past but offered nothing for me. I use as a lifting journal and so don’t need diet or precut workouts. Hoping they’ll iron out these latest bugs as I’d hate to lose all the years of training records. Tho have lost 5-6 years of data to past updates.

14. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Time to move on. I have enjoyed this app for years. I paid for the app one price when I originally bought it. I opened the app today to find that I can’t access anything I paid for because they now want me to go to a monthly or annual subscription. I am moving on. to do this with the world is going through inflation is greedy.

15. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Abandoned App. This app has been abandoned for too long. I report issues to the devs and they state they know about it and are working on it. 5 years later, the problem still exists, report the issue, and the same canned email is received from support. Now, the whole workout database is gone for over 3 weeks making the app pointless. The reviews on here are 5-10 years old or more.

16. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    App not working. The Discover part of the app does not show the workouts

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App does not work. Doesn’t work

18. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Lost YEARS of data!!. I just lost over 10 years of tracking my body metrics and workouts. The last update, made more bugs than it did fixing them. Until today I loved the app, now not so much. I’m a monthly subscriber and I still can’t see my previous metrics or any of the premade workouts.

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Used to be a good app. Used to be a good app. They kept cutting everything out if it, forcing you to do a monthly plan after I already paid for it

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    DONT PURCHASE. You buy the app then you have to buy plans within the app. Such a waste of $4

21. ★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow

    Update Broke History. FB is my go-to fitness app, and ı use it A LOT. I was excited to see it got an update, but unfortunately it broke some of the existing functionality: workout history screens no longer show details (weights and notes) of past workouts, and the pictures don't load. Please fix!

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    User. Very glitching app will shutdown on you when your working out very aggravating🙁

23. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    They screwed over original supporters. I originally purchased the paid version of the app a long time ago before they had subscriptions. I had access to videos and can create custom workouts not it’s all gone and they want me to pay again. Total betrayal for original customers who supported this app in the beginning.

24. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    $3.99 scam alert. They charge you just to download the app. If you want to actually us it there is another fee of $29… this is deceitful I thought I was getting access for $3.99

25. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Terrible Practice. Paid for this app when you used to pay for good apps. Now the work outs I use are locked unless I pay monthly. Can I go back to an older version that will still allow me complete access like I paid for?

26. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Workouts Used to Be Included. I bought this app years ago, when all the workouts were included. Coming back to this and seeing that everything is now locked is very disappointing. I already paid for this content and now I have to pay again?

27. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Don’t download - lost entire workout. Only used this 4x so far and half the time I have lost my entire workout. iPhone 12 Pro max It seems to be occurring when I add a custom exercise because their database is incomplete and doesn’t include many weighted machines. Deleting this after I hand write my data in a notebook. That won’t get deleted as easily. Very frustrating to lose the data. Don’t bother with this one.

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Crashed 3 times. It has now crashed 3 times, losing my workout. Deleting and getting another app

29. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    Disappointed!!!. I’m a new user. Wanted to do an “at home” workout since I couldn’t go to the gym. Browsing through the so called “at home” workouts I realized you pretty much need the same equipment that you’d use at the gym. Somewhat disappointed. Oh well on to the next app!!! Hopefully, I won’t need gym equipment for “at home” workouts with those other apps.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Crashes all the time. Cannot view any workout videos anymore. Each time the app crashes and exits. Terrible!
