   This is the third time I’ve tried to write a review for this garbage piece of garbage app. Apparently, in addition to this app, being total garbage, it is being protected by Apple from bad reviews. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP IF YOUR EXERCISE STATISTICS MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU! DO NOT USE THIS APP IF YOUR EXERCISE STATISTICS MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU! TWICE! TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK, THIS APP CREATED A 24 HOUR PLUS WORKOUT ON MY PHONE. Why? Because I started a workout and I didn’t end it? No. I just left the app running in the background. And it decided that I was working out the entire time because it was running in the background. The developers should be ashamed of themselves. And Jim Shar should take its name off of this. Because if they’re clothes, were as garbage as this app, they’d be out of business

2. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   **Abandoned app, Gymshark is no longer supporting this… come on do better. I’m incredibly disappointed to see Gymshark completely abandon this user base. This app has so much more great potential, but hasn't received a single update in 9 months, come to find out they’ve officially pulled the plug on development. No bug fixes, no new features, nothing. The frustrating part is that back in 2023, it was hyped up for a massive overhaul featuring an AI trainer. I enjoyed this app so much that I would have happily paid for a premium tier, even if the free version was still offered. There is so much missed potential. I’ve relied heavily on this to track my splits and log my weekly progress, but now it’s just a stuck where it is. It’s only a matter of time before a future iOS update bricks it entirely, and when that happens, all of my tracked workout data will be stuck on a dead app. It is ridiculous that they left it up on the App Store to mislead new users into thinking it's still supported. Don’t waste your time building your routines or logging your lifts in this. Find an alternative tracker that actually cares about maintaining its software and evolving. PS. Ben, if you see this, reconsider what’s happening here. Gymshark has come such a long way from the garage days because you always put the community first. It’s painful to see what was once my favorite lifting app go stagnant, when it could be leading the market. I’m challenging you to get the team back on this and make it something that can compete again in this space. Competition is good, great even, and I want to see this app succeed as much as the rest of the brand, but right now, it’s impossible to stay loyal to a dead app. 1 star for now, but I’m rooting for a comeback.

   Fix the login issues. Once again unexpectedly logged out of my account with no way of logging back in. I’ve updated the app/phone. Nothing, just a white screen.

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

   Fix the date of birth to include a typed entry. Took so long to enter my info that I abandoned it. If the first page takes too long I can only imagine how the app works.

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

   Sharing a workout plan doesnt work. Sharing a workout plan doesnt work

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

   Deleted programs. Gym shark deleted all of my saved programs and the programs I created myself. I didn’t not delete the app or sign out and there’s no way to get them back

7. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

   Unresponsive. App has completely quit working. Will not even open

8. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   App not working!. When I try to open the app the screen just stays white. I have used this app consistently for a while now. This is the first trouble I’ve had.

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

   Deleted everything. This app deleted all my workout plans and progress! It would be a great app if you could restore the data THEY deleted due to the app crashing.

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

    White Screen. Love the app but had to delete and reinstall after getting the white screen others have mentioned. Now all my workouts and settings are gone

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

    app crashed and lost a year of data actually so upset. lost my workouts and all the training days I’ve acquired every single day for a year.

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

    Workouts Disappeared. Great app, used for a long time. Until I got logged out, and when I logged back in all my workouts were gone. PR’s routines everything. Reached out to support who responded that they were investigating and then never got back to me.

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

    Love it but resets. Love the app, but every few weeks it goes white and will not work unless deleted and reinstalled. Also, despite having an account, all workout plans and progress are deleted on all my devices. If these would hold my progress after crashing, it’d be 5 stars.

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

    They deleted my workout history. I’ve been using this app for almost 2yrs no issues and today when I log into the account all my progress, history, workout programs were deleted.. now I have to start all over again as if it’s a new account

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

    All of my data deleted. My workouts, progress, training plans, literally everything was deleted randomly. I kept everything exclusively on this app, so I now have to try and recreate everything from scratch. Just be prepared to lose a lot of important information if the app glitches.

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

    Deleted after 4mins. If you can make it past the weird/confusing registration pages, then have at it! DELETED

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

    What login?. At first this app had the most. Negs at first, constantly get pushed to buy stuff. Too many steps to get back to the right day of the plan, no saving it ether. And the library isn’t available from plan unless you luck out with a trainer that adds it to the work out. Now, you bug me for weeks with a popup when im trying to get to my work out. And most recently, a LOG IN. Fine whatever I’ll do it. NOPE , it’s got an infestation of bugs. No work out for me. I can’t even see any part of the app to pick up my last week of my 66 day plan.

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

    App deleted all my data. I have been using this app for 2 months and had nothing but great things to tell everyone. Suddenly yesterday I see that Im logged out and when I log back in all my data is wiped out? All the workouts I saved and even my gymshark66 challenge which I was 4 days away from completing I contact support and they say theres nothing they can do but “hopefully” it doesnt happen again. Whats the point of using the app if all your info gets wiped out and support wont do anything about it. Whats a waste of my 2 months.

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

    Doesn’t save workouts. Half the time the app doesn’t save my workouts. Waste of time!!

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

    I’m so mad ⚠️DO NOT GET THIS APP!!⚠️😡😡. It says 4+ when you get the app however when I go into it it won’t let me in and the app is sooooooo bad. But they only show the good reviews so if you see this, tell other people

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

    Not really free. They require an account made. Plus they’re going through your phone’s data and selling it. Also the age of 4yrs+ should be a warning sign of something fishy. I will now wait for the cut and paste gymshark message Update Wow nice… gymshark responded to only comment about the cut and paste and them collecting and selling data. Good stuff. Glad I stick with Nike.

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

    Age lying. It says it’s 4+ and I’m 16 but I can’t use it

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

    Automatic timer. I don’t understand why all of these apps make you select a workout set a timer, stop the timer, and then select the next workout set the timer start the timer stop the timer instead of it jus automatically going to the next workout I hate it

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

    Lost All of My Saved Workouts; Contacted Support and Received No Response. Logged in today. Was logged out. Knew something was wrong. Once I logged into the app, I realized that all of my saved workouts and progress had been erased from the app. I tried contacting support and did not receive any response. I have been using this app for 3 years (since I began my fitness journey) and I’m very upset that I lost all of that progress.

25. ★★★★★privacy and excessive permissions

    Wow that’s a lot of privacy violations.. If it’s free, YOU are the product. Check out what data is collected from this app.

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

    Horrible. Don’t let me put my date of birth

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

    Used be be perfect, now nearly unusable. Nearly every single workout my app will stop the timer and not even show that I started the lift in the first place. Also, the timer no longer buzzed when you’re out of the app. No matter what time is on the clock, it will alert if you re enter the app. Absolutely infuriating.

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

    Help!. I want to love this app as it does everything I need it to and is so easy to use… but I cannot, for the life of me, get it to sync across my devices so I can’t use this app long term. It won’t transfer workouts between devices that I use on the same account. Help!

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

    Not for true gym goers. I understand needing to track in real time , but anyone who actually workouts understands that’s not the most efficient. Takes away from your workout. Then in turn you don’t get as may points through the app

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

    Lost data. Overall the app is pretty good, but one day I open the app and it’s stuck on the loading screen. The next day I find that all my workout plans and progress is gone , even though it said I moved up a tier
