1. 5/5Amazing

   The only review I can give is that of one of my personal experience. I’ve been blessed to utilize this application since 2013, when as a 19-year-old man enlisted in the United States Marine. Thanks to this app I have been able to not only have guidelines but the freedom to build a workout plan for me in my time that I continue to use here in 2024. I have recommended this application to a new goers in the gym and constantly referred back to it whenever even my me myself need a little guidance. The presence of social media routines, fails in comparison to the complexity and the diverse selection of make a workout for you that this app provides. To give a full perspective when I start using this app I was 175 pounds at my max weight lifting I reach 240 as someone approaching 30 I’ve been able to drop from 260 pounds back down to 240 off of the routines and the tracking along with the consistency of this app, if I could give him more than five stars, I would.

2. 4/5June 2018 update removed key features

   This is a good app, but the most recent update removed some features and is a bit less user intuitive. In the previous version, the user could adjust a custom workout we created. Usually, a newly-created custom workout appears at the bottom of the custom workout page. In previous versions, the user could move it to the top so as not to scroll through their entire custom workout list to see their latest workout. The latest update removed that feature (or if it is still there, it is not easy to find). Please bring back this feature. Additionally, the app used to have a daily step counter but that feature was also removed in an earlier version. I found that feature particularly helpful. Please bring that feature back as well. One feature that would be nice to have is the ability to write notes on the specific exercise when building a custom workout (e.g., “first set toes in, second set toes out, third set toes straight). Currently, there is a way to take notes AFTER completing a SET but the ability to provide notes on the overall exercise while building a workout would be most helpful.

3. 5/5So far, I love the app!

   You actually saved me from using another app, more expensive per year and no videos, no recipes, and no plans. Plus you were on several lists of the best fitness apps to use when I couldn't find anything else on the other app. Maybe a suggestion for you and all the other apps: My memory is not that great and I am often thinking of other stuff when I'm exercising alone so I lose count of how many sets I've done. Maybe putting an option to have a tracker in each exercise so I can check ✅ done so I'm doing the right amount each time. 🤷🏻‍♀️ if anyone else has this problem, but the main reason I don't work out 🏋🏻‍♀️ by myself is because I can't remember for the most part, how many reps or sets I've done.

4. 2/5Support emails ignored. Needs APPLE WATCH app.

   November, 2017: I still love this app but have started using Gymaholic to track my weight training. This is because my fitness buddy doesn’t have An Apple Watch app. The only thing I don’t like is having to take my phone out if my pocket at the gym between every set to log the exercise. If they had an Apple Watch app, I wouldn’t have to do this. I miss this app already but I want to use my Apple Watch at the gym, so I’m parting ways with this app for now. I emailed the developer a very nice compliment weeks ago asking if they were developing an Apple Watch app and never received a reply. You should really reply to your paying customers and not just ignore their emails. :-( The app has also started taking 8+ seconds to load when I open it up after the phone locks. This is incredibly annoying during workouts. I’m dropping my review down to 2 stars now since the developers don’t seem to care or respond to emails that I’ve sent them. I’ve purchased another app just for weight training (Gymaholic) and it’s a better app for weight training. It also has a great Apple Watch app. Thanks for everything, Fitness Buddy. Best wishes & I wish we could have continued our relationship. September, 2017: I've been using the premium app for about a year now. I started out with home body weight resistance exercises and recently graduated to the gym and a 6-day custom weight training+cardio routine. I've also been tracking every calorie that I eat, my heart rate (resting and exercising) and using the "overtraining test." I am 100% satisfied with this app and I'm still probably only using 50% of the features. I will happily renew my annual premium subscription every year because the app has changed my life. I've lost 80 pounds and I have muscles where before I only had flab. I am so grateful to the developers for producing such a fine piece of software and making it available at such a reasonable cost. Long live my fitness buddy!!!

5. 2/5*Major Issues for Me

   Oftentimes, “nutrition verified” foods’ nutritional content is inaccurate as it appears despite the little green checkmark next to the name and the “nutrition verified” badge. Also, I never use the app’s real-time record your workout as you go feature bc it crashes frequently, and when it crashes, my workout data doesn’t get saved, and rather than spend more gym time re-entering my lost workout information, I almost always opt to enter it manually after my workout when I can spare the time to re-enter information, and even then, the app will crash and not store information, so I have completely stopped using the app to record my workouts. There is no other way to enter workout information into the app manually. There should be. My daily water intake exceeds 16 glasses. Wish there was a way to simply add more water to the app than the current system. I enter my water intake above the 16 cup threshold manually through the “view my profile” method. Seems like it takes much more time this way though.? It would be great if the app’s water intake synced with apple heath’s water intake. It doesn’t. Now that i’ve typed this all out, I’ve decided to checkout other fitness buddy style apps bc i only really use fitness buddy for it’s caloric intake feature, which is flawed, It’s workout journal recording system, which is busted, it’s water intake log, which could be better, and its heart rate tester, which is fine, but isn’t worth the cost of a premium monthly or annual subscription ... It is time to buy an apple watch i guess. Peace. Love.
