GAINSBYBRAINS: Fitness & Food

So many glitches. I hate how long the workouts are and they’re the same every week. There’s several things they can work on. I cancelled my subscription and got the app Ladder! It’s like having a personal trainer walk you step by step. If anyone’s looking for a different app!

Personally, I think everyone is far too harsh reviewing this app. I wouldn’t give it a 5 because there are some personal gripes I have with it, such as not specifying if the single leg workouts/stretches are each or you’re supposed to split the set, and that you can’t choose to start on a Saturday it automatically starts on a Monday, and I’d also love to be able to put what my PR is for a weight on that workout. HOWEVER, I’ve been using it for a month and already have results! I’ve been doing the hourglass program 6 days a week (not super consistently, I missed some days here and there but I was fairly consistent) and I went from a 27-38 to a 26-39 :). Regardless of some technical errors that are way fewer than the reviews lead you to believe, this app gives results, and I think thats the most important takeaway here.

When setting up the app there is a screen that asks you “on which days do you want to work out?” I selected the days and the “next” button would never “ungrey”. No matter how many days I selected or what I did the next button never became active so I couldn’t use the app at all :( I just blew my free trial so if they flix the glitch I’ll next get to try the app. I wish she would use an existing app like Playbook. That app is awesome and works.

Was really looking forward to getting this app. It won’t go past the 3rd screen

Hi, I’m a fan of Sophie and she was the first person I thought of when I committed to go to the gym. Downloaded the app and I only made it to the 3rd screen (10 seconds in) before it froze one the screen asking me how often I’d like to workout. It wouldn’t let me click ‘next’. I had to close out twice and reopen it. Not sure if I’m going to make it pass the free trial.

I support Sophie and I really wanted to love this app but it keeps crashing and it’s just reset everything in the middle of my workout! Really disappointed.

I like the countdown of time in between sets but I’d prefer not to have to check my phone to see if the time is up but just get a sound when it’s time to start the next one!

Would love to continue doing this program but the app has too many glitches and constantly resets the work outs. ;(

love sophie but the app is terrible. logs you out and crashes constantly during workouts making it so frustrating and near impossible to use some days. also don't love that you can't adjust which days you want to do which workout. definitely regret purchasing the yearly subscription after having such high hopes for it. i've had it since the first week it launched and it's somehow only gotten buggier

The idea of this app is amazing. I love adding specific workouts & meals to specific days. But the app is way too glitchy to the point that it's just not functional for someone to use. Maybe look into other app developers to do a whole new relaunch because the idea is there the product doesn’t work. I fortunately only used the free trial and thank god I didn’t pay for something like this. I kind of feel like it's unethical to charge someone for this app based on its functionality. Honestly, if you looking for clear consistent workout plans or meal ideas I would just go to her YouTube channel. This app needs to be removed and back to the drawing board.
