GAINSBYBRAINS: Fitness & Food

I wanted to buy this app because I liked the impressive amount of training and nice interface. But I don’t want to pay for this app for now, because it has these shortcomings and bugs: bug 1: when I want looking through only full body trainings (selecting the corresponding section in trainings screen), there are also lower/upper body trainings in the list - bug 2: when I switch to other app on my phone resting timer stops - very difficult to find the most suitable training among a lot of them because of the lack of filter options. I want to have an ability to search by level, muscles involved, amount of exercises etc. It would be much more convenient. - the ability to note weights of equipment and watch the progress of them would be great feature - not so important but also great: add ability compile my own training with available existing exercises in the app

Love the app, great recipes and amazing workouts, thank you Sophie 🫶🏼

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. ;(
