Strength by Mari

This is my second time subscribing to this app and in all honesty the quality of the workouts at 5/5 but the glitches bring it down to a 3/5. There’s so much room for improvement from a technical aspect, which is a shame considering the same issues have been present since I first subscribed a year ago

The app has logged me out after a year of being logged in. I can’t remember my password and the app won’t offer a “forget your password” option. I have paid for a second full year 3 months ago and now 9 months will go to waste. Very disappointed.

I wish I could say this app is worth it after following Mari for years but the constant glitches make me almost regret paying a full year subscription. The workout plans alone are great but there is no way to track your progress in terms of workouts that you’ve completed, you cannot pick whether or not you want to follow a plan with 3/4/5x a week (like the original guides provided), it always logs you out and there’s no way to skip the intro video (sry but after three sessions, you get the idea).

I have never been so much disappointed in any paid subscription app. Complete the waste of money. Every time during the sessions it will log you out, crash down or loose the progress. No use paying for such low quality app. After more than four weeks of program app crashed down and the progress was completely lost. Only one thing is good the app interface and nothing else. Being inspired by Mary story this app does not worth your money or time. You can’t go back to the program or just simply resume there is no such option to be found. There are much better apps in the store . Not recommended.

It’s a okay app that works as intended but when doing gym workouts, it’s not smooth. They expect you to move between machines for a set which isn’t feasible in a large busy gym. Also requires you to record weight with no benefit for next round. Not worth the money.

I don’t like to do a bad review but I got very frustrated that the app doesn’t offer a trial and don’t refund if I don’t like it. i really like Mari and her podcast and I was looking forward ti try it out but thought the advanced workout was very easy and short + not well direction. I wiah they could offer a one week trial

The UI is lovely, it’s clean, and not overwhelming with too many unnecessary buttons and features like many apps out there. It is very glitchy though. It’s way to easy to accidentally click out of the workout and all of the progress/reps/weights I entered were scrapped and I had to redo everything. Very frustrating. It also crashed all the time, to the point where it was intolerable in the end, and I had to switch apps. I also found some of the workouts unclear in the direction. For example, I never knew how many reps I should do total, or for each arm or leg? Other little things like that which made me feel nervous I was doing it wrong. I’ve also reached out to SLAY for help but never got a response.

I am a HUGE Mari fan. I used her PDF guides way back before Slay ever existed, which is why I am so disappointed with this app. 1. The Pilates section does not have instructions; it’s a 10-minute video, and you don’t have info on reps or anything. This is very confusing. 2. There’s no way to follow an at-home guide; only workouts that you can pick at random. 3. The app tries too hard to be everything. It needs to double down on guides and workouts, not all the fluff that directs us to her other businesses.

I have been doing Mari workouts for 4-5 years when she was getting started. The workouts are great. My issue with the app. I am unable to click the back arrow once I’m looking into a guide and then I have to shut down the app and open it back up. Seems like this should get fixed asap

The app isn’t set up for full function on an iPhone 15 pro- I’ll select and exercise and want to go to the Home Screen but the back screen button is unreachable on an iPhone 15 Pro (iOS 17.4.1 and app version 2.0.17) so I have to force close the app and then reopen the app entirely. It’s super frustrating and I wish I hadn’t paid $80 for this nonsense. I liked the exercises and would recommend if the app weren’t such a pain to use.
