SCAM! I started a free trial and decided it wasn't for me. Upon attempting to cancel, the app requires you to go through Google Play and go to your subscriptions to cancel. Problem is, when I went to my subscriptions, there is no listing of any apps. It just says "No Subscriptions" so I was charged for a second month and STILL trying to figure out how to cancel!

Not the best. No health tracker to incorporate additional exercises or walking you do. Very little added weight exercises, that I've found. Most annoying, you can't select to turn OFF the instructions for extremely easy exercises. If you mute it then you can't hear the timer either. It also randomly does not have the timer sounds for certain exercises.

First impression is that the app navigation works well. Workouts seem challenging and well structure. Diet plan is difficult. All meals require a lot of prep and a lot of shopping. It should provide a shopping list and let me customize the meals so that it's not a crazy shopping list and I can make these complex meals in bulk. It needs more customization, and I need less work and kids to have time for the diet plan.

Won't even let me log in. Something wrong with the app... I have an account and keep getting charged it when I try to log in, the "login" button never highlights like it's an incorrect account. Have tried verifying email and getting a new password but still doesn't work. Money funnel. Don't buy into it. It doesn't show up under Google play subscriptions either where you usually go to unsubscribe from any app so it's difficult to get rid of it.

Although it's not the best, it was ok. I would have liked the option for tracking other activity I was doing outside of the app. (For example, counting steps). Unfortunately I need to cancel due to job loss and the app will not let me manage my subscription. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Nothing. I've tried updating. Nothing. Each time I click on "manage subscription" nothing happens. This led me to being charged another month. 1 star rating for this inconvenience.

Nothing but bells and whistles, but not really beneficial. The nutritional features on the app are basically "informational". You can't easily build or track a meal plan and the water tracking functionality is kludgey. There exercise videos seem to be randomly interdibursed across all categories, regardless of what goals you select. You could get everything that is offered by this app through Youtube videos and for free. If you're goal is to track progress definitely look for another app!

It's okay. I like some of the options like HIIT and stretching that come included, but there's not a lot of freedom to customize: you can't select what kind of exercise equipment you have at home to have it incorporate different workouts. It seems to be just dumbbells and resistance bands when I have a barbell and a rack. You also can't log any additional workouts. The meals seem to be only vegetarian and vegan. I know plenty of people in great shape who eat meat. Not going to renew.

Like it! Works well for my situation. Like others have said, not a big fan of the latest build. What I would like to see is the ability to see more about how each exercise is properly executed if needed. We had the ability to pause a workout if needed, now we have to advance to the next exercise. Return to that format and I'll bump up the rating. 😉

Seems somewhat deceptive. Nothing anywhere says anything about fees, so you download the app and start configuration, and hit a point where you have to pick which payment plan you want to go with. No chance to try it out. Yes there is a $.99 first month trial, but you should be able to see if it is something you want to use, before you give out a credit card number. If there are fees, tell me that, tell me how much, BEFORE I enter all sorts of information. I do not recommend this app.

Very expensive, leaves a lot to ask for, namely skipping the meal plan, skipping the fasting plans, mute the voice coach, sort the order of workouts, change the length of workouts to match the time I have. Honestly, I'm looking for another app or I will take the exercises I like here and just do them on my own. The voice is the worst though. Describes the most basic of exercises with excruciating detail for 25 of the 30 seconds, but then others with more complicated move sets get nothing.

Yes it is misleading. It's advertised as a free app but it's not. What originally drew me in was a facebook ad that showed you can choose certain body parts to work out, and it doesn't have that feature which is why I took a star away. However, if you are willing to pay and are motivated to lose weight like I am, then this is great. There's a lot of variety in the workouts. Only advice is to add instructions for the workouts because I didn't know some of them and had to toggle between youtube.

I really hate how the notifications run over everything and are extremely bright on your lock screen. also, I've gone through a couple of the workouts and it's really not worthwhile. definitely don't spend the extra money and buy the nutrition guides that they sell you when you first sign up for the app.

Watch out for autorenew price hikes! Pretty sketchy! Tried to cancel the same day I was auto renewed (with a price hike), and they declined my request and refused to issue a refund. I then emailed them Missouri state law about failure to notify me in advance about the upcoming charges on auto renew contracts and was refunded in less than 30 minutes. Sketchy! Know your rights!

I download the app a month ago and I really like it but now I'm having problems with the videos saying FAILED TO SHOW CONTENT RETRY. I have send emails and report it that something is wrong unfortunately no one has replied back and it's a week already. I have lost 4 pounds and I can tell the difference in my body but with that problems I have stopped my exercises. I even uninstall the app and it didn't work.

I really loved this app when I first downloaded it, but then the videos started to not load, and the step counter doesn't work correctly. I tried to contact someone about fixing the issue since I paid for a year, but I only got contacted back about a refund, but when I applied for one, I was denied. I am very disappointed with my experience, and now I'm out $50 and have an app that doesn't work.

Multiple things are now broken on this app. First is the fasting timer not adjusting, which I have been complaining to customer support for several months now, yet the issue still persists. I screen recorded the issue being replicated and sent it to customer support as well. The second issue, which recently started, is that I can no longer adjust my personal plan. I go through all the activities & areas I'm looking to target, & after I hit Create Plan, nothing happens. $20 per month for this?

Not as good after multiple changes. They've removed the ability to set your own daily reminder and instead just give notifications at 7:30am and pm, which is probably too late for most people in both cases. There's no ability to go back and do a workout you may have missed, and you're now forced to pick a "plan" which locks you in to certain workouts on certain days with no ability to customize. It's very easy to miss all the strength exercises on the strength plan if you happen to get busy.
