Can’t do anything without paying for subscription. As soon as I make ONE workout it immediately shoves a subscription offer in my face. I would expect less features without a subscription, not NONE.

Garbage price. We should really have a monthly thing and not having to pay yearly

Lost my routines. Upgraded my iPhone. Had to sign in again, then all routines are gone.

Нет русского языка. Это что за приложение, в котором нет русского языка в меню? Не хорошо.

Can’t use app without signing up for “free trial”. Immediately deleted after I found out I can’t use it without signing up for the “trial” just let us try your app. If it’s good we’ll pay. But trying to lock us into an auto renew contract without ever even using the app earns an immediate delete.

Deceptive about subscription. Like others, I was disappointed to find out this app is practically useless unless you pay their absurd subscription prices. Their entire AppStore description is its capabilities, etc… then near the bottom, buried in text they state their subscription model. Most users don’t scroll that far down, and the developers know it. Their “small team” is making money hand over fist, don’t pity them no matter how they spin it. Lots of free apps in the AppStore that are great for tracking fitness. Don’t waste your time with this one.

Too expensive. Canceled right after downloaded due to price and they still charged me super disappointing!
- ★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow
New update is annoying. Whatever y’all did made the app worse, when I’m working out and tracking it and go to edit my reps or weight it keeps asking if I want to update everywhere or just that exercise. Maybe it’s a setting now but please fix this. When I’m training to failure or trying to increase my max rep or weight it’s annoying AF to be asked EVERY TIME if I want to update it everywhere. No I just want to in that page and workout day.
- ★★★★★apple Watch and Health sync loses or duplicates workouts
You Ruined It. Logged on today to an update. Short story: nothing works now. Won’t sync with my Apple Watch. Ruined what would have been a great workout. Thanks for nothing. Will be canceling my subscription after nearly two years. Pretty poor!

Subscription. Thought this was free till I saw $10/month. I’m not paying that

SCAM!. I don’t get it!!!! I paid $39.99, now every single workout i cannot do because it needs for me to UPGRADE again!! The free version is better!!! Do not subscribe!!!

New update broke app for me.. New update (7.8.2) broke AI features specifically the paste text feature. Message says “Error Importing Routine: Detected content likely to be unsafe”, however I only wrote “Monday” in prompt. This severely cripples the features I use for adding gym workouts fast. I have tried reinstalling app, turning off Apple AI (and resetting), latest software iOS 26.4 using a iPhone 17 pro max. I have a premium+ account.
- ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears
The worst!. I downloaded this app to create a gym routine weekly for myself. I already had made 3 gym days and then I try to make another one and it deletes all 3 of my hard work routines that I spent 50 minutes working on
- ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Horrible. I never go to use premium was charged but did not get the premium. Payed $60 for nothing and I can’t reverse the charge.
- ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Money. This app is a great app. The problem is that you need to buy the premium version. It only let me do two workout routines and then it demanded I pay for the premium to do more routines. I am very disappointed.
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Very Disappointing for a Beginner. Signed up for free trial as a “Beginner” I have zero experience other than cardio at my gym & the 1st exercise is bench press with barbell - how is that beginner? Very disappointing

Revamp this app and the CS reps. The features on this app are subpar compared to what they advertise…AI must mean advanced ignorance because intelligent isn’t the right term that’s for sure. You set up everything specifically to cater equipment, skill level, muscle group and it comes up with something somewhat catered to your request. Don’t worry that exercise in there with equipment you don’t have should have a substitute around you somewhere. Oh you want to replace it, let me show you seven exercises that aren’t equivalent. Oh you don’t want to have a buttload of routines in your face or your archive, well you better do the same three routines because removing anything deletes your workout history and your results for future routines. We know we said it’s intelligent, but we only say that to swindle people. By the way: Customer service should be simply that instead they point the finger at the paying customers like a bad ex saying it’s not me IT’S YOU!

One of the Worst Fitness Apps on the Market. Smart Gym calls itself intelligent, but it cannot even read a plain text workout correctly. I entered a simple routine with clear sets and reps and it spit out a completely different program like it was making things up as it went. At that point it is not smart. It is guessing. The app feels more gimmicky than useful. Instead of following instructions, it rewrites your workout into something you never asked for. That defeats the entire purpose of logging a routine. The real joke is the price. Charging that much for a one year subscription when the core feature barely works is wild. There are free apps that do a better job without pretending to be clever. This is anything but intelligent.

Pay. This is so pay to use I have to pay to even make a account!
- ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions
Anti-consumer app. Customer service on app is really subpar. When you end your subscription, all your workout data gets wiped. Not a customer-centric app/organization and I would recommend everyone to look at other apps or create your own spreadsheets
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Deceiving. Has you waste 10 minutes filling out your profile… then tells you it’s $60 a year.
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Useless ai. I entered my equipment and chose a predefined and custom exercise routine. In both cases the first exercise used equipment not in my list. An exercise chart and paper and pencil would work better than this $60 app!

Doesn’t Understand Exercises. It doesn’t understand exercises that are done unilaterally are done once on each side. It only calculates things for one of the sides and ignores the fact you do the move again. Update to address developer reply: I did email the developer on 9/30 before ever downloading and trying the app. They still have not replied. When I tried the app it only gave the volume for the exercise once, not twice for each side.

Just Is Still Out. The selling point for this app for me was that AI functions would offer suggestions for improving your workout; but not enough data is collected during the trial period for AI to make those suggestions. So you're forced to buy the app FIRST before getting those recommendations. My suggestion is to allow for the trial period that would encompass the time to receive the AI recommendations before having to pay for the app.

Email Not Accepted. I wanted to try this app and tried to signup for the premium account but your app won’t accept my business email address which ends in a .digital domain.

Missing machines. It had none of the machines I used at the gym.

Adhoc support. Unable to complete setup without setting up a schedule
- ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Lacks core features not that smart. app is not built with any outdoor run or cycling features in mind. So you can not estimate rest from those activities against strength training. It also has no function to automatically increase reps/sets if you’re doing calisthenics. Really let people give a target set count and have the app built the plan over weeks to get there.

Deleted Many of my workouts.. Went to see my history and to my surprise many of my past workouts are missing. Idk if when you archive or remove a routine the workout data goes with it but it is very disheartening knowing how much time and effort I put into those workouts for them to so easily disappear. I will continue using the app for as long as it is paid for but will definitely be checking into others and definitely won’t be recommending it to others.

Better options out there. It’s fine, but there are much better apps out there. Wish you could demo without doing a subscription upon the demo expiring. One extra day and I was charged an entire year for an app I will never use
