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

   The Meltdown Sustains. I’m a trainee, and I’ve seen a minimum of 4 outages this week. And most of those aren’t logged on the trainerize status page either - which tracks. And there was the attempted in-app “update,” which broke Watch integration…again…just like last year. Now…imagine if you were running a business with this app - LOL. The core meltdown continues.

   App no longer showing previous weights. I can no longer see any of my history of weights and reps in the app!

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

   They care more about “upgrades” than functionality. Ever since ABC bought out trainerize it’s been downhill from there They push the glitz and glam upgrades and AI tools (which quite frankly are of no real use for a non cookie cutter coaching service) But then have absolutely zero interest in making sure their platform actually works. Always glitched, always app crashes and never any true accountability I’ve been on multiple calls and email exchanges to be reassured that things would get better. It’s been over a year of this now and my patience is gone. I’ll be transferring my client base elsewhere and would not recommend this to any coach looking to keep their name in good standings with their client base.

4. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Constant connectivity Issues. This is the most expensive app I have on my phone since I pay for it through my fitness coach. I have more issues with this app than any other app on my phone and it’s completely unacceptable due to the cost of it. Every single workout, I have connectivity issues at some point. The workouts won’t load and it literally ruins my workout experience. The fact that I noticed there are connectivity issues when I’m only using the app to work out maybe an hour a day shows that you guys have significant issues with this app whether you want to admit it or not. It’s completely ridiculous and unacceptable. My phone functions as well as every other app when I’m having issues with this one so it’s 100% your app. Do better for the price people pay for it.

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

   Not accountable. If they mess your app up, no one answers, no one tries to fix it. There is 0 accountability from the company when it comes to issues and getting them fixed promptly or fixed at all. They create more work for you.

6. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Please fix the bodyfat caliper issue.. Has been broken for over 6 months.

7. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Glitchy. There’s always a glitch. Can’t connect heart rate to the app. Such an easy connection and yet not possible to do. One day it’s on and then it’s off.

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

   Terrible. Terrible can’t call them phone is out of order can’t even open the app to sign in

9. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

   Hate the yellow - Hard on the eyes. PLEASE ADD COLOR SCHEME OPTIONS or DARM MODE! There is no way this is ADA Compliant. The yellow and light grey color scheme are really hard on my eyes. I’m in my late 40s and cannot see half the numbers and fonts on the app because they are so light grey or up against a yellow background - it also does not sync with my oura ring or MyMacros app, making over half of the functionality useless. It does not seem to pull accurately from apple health when i’ve tried to do a work around.

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

    8.10.1 has a regression. The latest update 8.10.1 from 321 has a regression. I cannot change the quantity of food using the default units, my workaround is the way things in grams and change the quantity that way. I tried to report it, but got lost in a bizarre website of weird forms so I will update this review when this regression is fixed.

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

    Dev Team, FIX THIS!!!. Works when it works, when it wants to work. Very inconsistent! Tracks for almost a week, then BAM, outta nowhere, it’s down again. No problem, just delete the app, download again, follow alllll the synch steps and try again! Yeah, this has gotten old!!! Shouldn’t be this difficult to get working.

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

    It's good only for the exercise library. I really hate this app. I'm so surprised by the high rating. The only feature that is really useful is the workout library and workouts are pretty easy to build. The issue is the software is missing really key features. Or the features are not easy to use. For example, I have a cooldown template and warm up template. I want to be able to start a new workout and then just "add in" the warmup and "add in" the cooldown. I sometimes like to add in a tabata at the end of a workout but if I want to do this I have to redo the entire workout each time. This is impossible. The point of having an app is to make stuff like this easier. I should be able to drag and drop warmups/cooldowns/tabatas/EMOMs from other templates into a new workout. Very annoying.

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

    Bug in Code. Suddenly I cannot enter the decimal point for my weight amount!?!?! Touch it and it won’t key in. Please fix!

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

    Used to be better. Turn off the stupid water tracker!

15. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Constantly Freezing. App is fine unless I am getting ready to start my workout or use it and it will constantly freeze!!!! Have to exit it and reopen sometimes up to 4-5 times just to get it to work. If my trainer didn’t use it I’d delete it and never look back.

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

    Terrible. This is a terrible app and the one of the worst I have ever used.

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

    I liked it more before the update!. New update is a lot more confusing. I think the intent was to make it look better but I like the old version more. Plus with the new update, if you don’t have the max cell service, it won’t even load my workouts.

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

    Latest update is terrible. The user interface is now an abomination. Very difficult to use. Very busy. It’s not as clean as the old version and you have removed our ability to stay with the legacy view. Please bring that back. This is awful.

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

    I used to love this app. I loved this app until they changed the layout and view. I was ok with that because it offered the option to change it back to the classic view. Today they took that option away. So now I am looking for another alternative. This new interface is not better however I’m okay with different options just not forcing an option that isn’t as clear and friendly.

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

    New version Sucks. New new version sucks there was an option to go back to the old version, but that is suddenly not there anymore. It’s really stupid when companies change things for nothing and no good reason. This is no better than the other at all

21. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    Dark mode. We need a dark mode

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

    Could Be A lot Better - Not A Fan. This app is glitchy, it freezes, logs your food multiple times, when you type the cursor jumps ahead, it’s slow and takes time to load. I wish they would fix it. Been using since July 2025 and it’s just gotten worse.

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

    Loses Connection. App constantly loses connection and or closes during workout causing data to not be recorded or recorded incorrectly. Super disappointing working great up until about 30 days ago. If my coach didn’t use it this wouldn’t be found in my device.

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

    Lots of bugs in an otherwise good app. Lots of lag/delays and the competitions feature is pretty busted if you’re not in a time zone that aligns with the competition

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

    Constant Issues. There are constant issues with this stupid app. There are times where it will not save my workout no matter if I close and restart the app, shut down my phone. It just glitches and will refuse to save so I have to cancel out and it looks like I did not do a workout for the day. I have this on my phone and my watch and most of the time they will not sync up so I could end the workout on my phone, but it will keep going on my watch and it will save two workouts for the day. It's great to see your workout but if you're using this for tracking purposes, it's absolute trash.

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

    Poorly designed app. This thing cannot sync with my watch the first time I start a workout ever. I always have to stop the workout once discard and start again. Sometimes as many as three and four times. I’d I didn’t have to use this for my trainer, I would’ve removed it a year ago.

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

    Won’t load in the middle of my workout. Day lost. App won’t connect and show my workout plan for the day so no I’ve lost the day.

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

    Terrible update. Why would you all complicate the active workout feature. We need to be able to just press start and work out. Now it’s all these timers you are forced to use and it doesn’t sink to watch. Then turning on on watch you have to use the dial to input the stats. Yall need to revert back. I hate this update

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

    Apple Watch. Does not connect

30. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Annoying. I use this app to my gym membership and I’m currently using it for a training program that’s separate from my gym. It’s annoying to sign into and out of profiles to use between these two profiles. A lot of people have suggested an easier way for years and they have made no effort to enhance or listen to their users. With the new update I am no longer able to choose which program open. It automatically goes to my phone.i can’t get into my profile and there is no help button Secondly the help page is useless. It’s mainly for trainers or business owners. No help for the users. Also I’m not able to add my membership on Apple wallet but some other accounts do?
