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

   UI update erased two most recent workouts. Can’t see them

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

   Wrecked. This used to be a great app. It WAS Simple clean and easy to use. It is now riddled with bad ux, complicated and frustrating. They went for looks over useful.

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

   Bad Updates. Many of my old workouts aren’t showing up anymore. Maybe it’s because I didn’t “complete workout” but not sure. That used to not matter. New update completely throws off my system.

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

   Latest Update is a step BACK. Fitlist was one of the few workout apps that was extremely simple and to the point, the latest forced update released in the last few days has rearranged everything within the app. The user experience is completely different, it takes additional steps and clicks to log the simplest of exercises and I can’t figure out how to see my history now. Literally nobody asked for this…

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

   Trash update. Go back to the previous version. This new one is total and absolute garbage.

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

   Bring back the old version. Any way to get the pre updated version? The new update wasn’t needed

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

   The new update destroyed the app. I’ve been using this app for years simply because it was simple and extremely easy to use. Now it’s just like every other over engineered workout app. I just want a simple way to track my workouts and progress, not whatever it is these out of touch developers just pasted over a perfectly functional app. What’s even more aggravating is that all of my progress and 4 years of workouts are completely gone. Looks like I’m going back to paper and pencil.

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Can't do anything without paying... Want to use a pre-made workout? Nope, you gotta pay. Want to make your own workout? Nope, you gotta pay. Want to see what exercises are in the app? Nope, you gotta pay. You literally cannot do anything in this app without paying. They should just charge you for the app upfront instead of marking the "may have optional in app purchases" because those purchases aren't optional.

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

   The app was good. The app was pretty good before but this recent update changed the entire UI and just over complicated it

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

    New version is terrible. How do I get the previous version back??? The latest version is terrible.

11. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Bought this app before it turned subscription. I purchased this app (it wasn’t a cheap one either!) years ago when I first started getting into weight lifting. Now they’ve switched to a subscription model and will not restore my purchase, they’re trying to double charge me. I’m so angry and disappointed that I can no longer use this app. DONT recommend this one - there are other tracking apps that don’t require a subscription.

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

    Garbage Now. You can’t even create a new workout without laying $5 a month. All I need to do is track my activities, things I can already do for free with multiple apps already on my phone. But you want me to lay $5 a month just to create a new day of workout? Get real. Update: the developer told me I’m mistaken, but sorry, you are mistaken. If I click on “New Workout” to create a new workout day, I get a pop up screen to subscribe. If I close that screen, I’m taken back to the original screen and no new workout day was created. Therefore, unless I subscribe, I cannot create a new workout day.

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Less is more. The more updates that come to this app the farther it strays from it’s original appeal. People want a simple app with the ability to build/name workouts, choose exercises, and view history/past performance. Don’t ruin a good thing in the name of innovation, devs. *Update 06Feb24* 1 star…. You can’t even look at your history without buying premium lol… look elsewhere.

14. ★★★★★apple Watch and Health sync loses or duplicates workouts

    Syncs exercises out of place. Latest update messed up the whole app, deleted all and reinstalled again but seems that when you sync with Apple Watch the exercises within your workout will not appear in order even if on the phone it shows properly.

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

    Update. Update is horrible!

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

    New updated ruined the app. Was much easier to log my workouts in before this update. This update just made it look shiny with way less intuition and useability

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

    Update screwed some things up. On the exercise page the timer is on top of the sets. If you add 5 sets the timer sits on top of the 5th set so now I cannot adjust the set without stopping the timer or need to wait till the timer is done.

18. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    HORRIBLE UPDATE. It no longer loads up my previous sets/reps. It also randomly deletes my set/rep numbers while still in the exercise screen (multiple times!) Super annoying. How can I revert back to the previous version? This isn’t what I paid for.

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

    not a fan of update. in addition to mileage, i like to track my total workout time for the week. the "duration" column is cut off and i cant see the time. the calendar is cut off too when im trying to get a monthly picture of exercise days vs rest days.

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

    Cant sign up. Bummer

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

    DATA THEFT. They do not delete your data on request. SCAM

22. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Not working. Can’t sign up said maintenance

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

    Doesn’t save exercise names. I would love this app if it worked!

24. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Need better sync. Continually tells me to connect my phone to sync, despite already being connected, and verified. Doesn’t alert when rest periods are done. Could be a good app if they actually fixed the bugs Reply to developer: I definitely never disabled notifications. For proof, the first 3 sets I do, will alert me when my rest is over. The rest of the work out, no notifications at all. So tel me why would it start with notifications for early sets and eventually stop sending notifications??? Secondly, it has completely stopped syncing with my phone at this point. And I just got charged for this new month?? Wish I could get my money back but I’m definitely canceling my membership and deleting this terrible app. Maybe try fixing bugs instead of pointing blame at your customers.

25. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Very glitchy. Moves workouts to different days, extremely glitchy, almost paid for the pay version , glad I did not. Total garbage

26. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Monthly Subscription But No Development?. The last year of updates is practically nothing but bug fixes. Why should anyone lock into monthly payments just for you to make sure your app is running? We haven’t seen any substantial new features or improvements in ages. Kind of disappointing.

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

    Trash. Crashes non stop, did not used to

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

    Garbage. Won’t let me enter my height for some reason. When you create a new workout, it will only let you add exercises on their list. And for some reason, they don’t have simple squats or push-ups on their list? Dunno whose brilliant idea that was. Good job, guys.

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

    Good. For a while.. Thing keeps crashing as soon as I tap the app.

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

    Very disappointed. I went back and forth on this and Strong. I ended up going with FitList because it was 2.99 a month as opposed to 5.99. The app didn’t sync with my watch and the app just didn’t perform as advertised. My expectations were low and they were not met. Not ideal for serious lifters, good for those who have time to play on their phone instead of working out.
