5x5 Workout - Zen Labs for Negative User Reviews

✓ Not working garbageLook for other app.IronbenoVersion: 1.6

✓ DecentFairly solid app… simple enough to navigate and the program is easy to follow… but on the “assistance exercises” tab you can’t read the whole screen… petty complaint I know but still… also it has workout A and workout B… I feel there should be a workout C that focuses more on lower body and possibly core.DephawltVersion: 1.6

✓ This is killing meWish I could start at a lower weight this is discouraging. I do what I can..Wheels16Version: 1.4.7

✓ Forced subscriptionHate subscriptions on fitness apps.JDmaxxVersion: 1.9.1

✓ BugsLove the app but it has never allowed me to adjust the weights. Contacted support but never received a response.BobbinmeVersion: 1.4.14

✓ Only free for a few weeksBetter than the strong lifts version in that it gives you the plates to add, but after two or three weeks you have to upgrade to pro. I’m going back to stronglifts..Rando-nameVersion: 1.4.5

✓ They change the app without informing customersI purchased the app in august 2019. I go to use the app the other day and apparently they updated their platform (to include a suite of Zen Labs apps) to a monthly fee. As a purchaser I was never informed of this change, and my app was reverted back to the free version, which is not what I paid for. I emailed customer service and never received a reply..DeeemarieeeVersion: 1.4.14

✓ One drawbackOnly drawback I see so far is that it won’t allow for me to enter less than 45 pounds. I don’t count the bar, just the weights that I put on and I’m currently lifting 40 lbs.Rtrgirl10Version: 1.4.3

✓ App is crap!Worst 5x5 workout set up ever! Should be easily navigated, is not. Set up for weights is stupid and tedious, can’t input numbers with keypad but individual clicks. Rest periods not explained..MunkeyarseVersion: 1.4.11

✓ Mechanics2.5kg don’t work for me, if I squat 80kg one day then the next day it should read 82.5kg however it doesn’t do this, it will stay at 80kg until I finish that workout and the next time it says 85kg, I would like it to show the 2.5kg parts as sometimes I forget..1412MattVersion: 1.4.11

✓ Want to give it more.Trying to run thisnon an iPhone 6plus with latest iOS, but unfortunately after the app launches it hangs indefinitely. Start button does nothing. Would love to actually use the app and give it an honey rating. Hoping for an update soon..CNixmanVersion: 1.1

✓ Rip offI paid to upgrade to unlock the features after week 3 and I still don’t have access to them. It is still prompting me to upgrade. I received the receipt that I paid for it but it was a waste of money. I’ve emailed zen support twice and have gotten no where. Extremely unhappy.DLL81Version: 1.4.11

✓ ProblematicUpgraded to Pro after the first two weeks so I would have access to the remainder of the program. Worked for a while until I tried to add in my own assistance moves to the program. The app wouldn’t carry over the name of the assistance move to the workout - it would just leave it as “Exercise Name” so you had no idea what it actually was. At the end of week 4 workout 3, the app glitched whenever I tried to hit “finish” on the workout and erased my workout 4 times before I gave up. Tried closing all apps and rebooting my phone and it didn’t work. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it didn’t import my data and it bumped me back down to the FREE version and now I only have access to two weeks worth of workouts again and I have now thrown my money down the toilet. Have sent three messages so far to the developer about issues and am awaiting response. If they can fix these issues in a timely fashion, I will consider changing my review. So far, not happy with this purchase/app..MintyFresh4444Version: 1.1

✓ App doesn’t function properly most of the timeThe program is sound and I like the layout of the app, but when I’m trying to change settings, they don’t change 90% of the time. For example, it defaulted to me as male, when I tried to switch to female it would never register. After about 20 attempts it finally worked for seemingly no reason. The same thing happened when I was trying to set my weights. I was trying to drop down to 70lbs from 90 for my sets. It took about 20-40 attempts for each set to get the correct weight to show. Unfortunately, the pro version also has this problem (as does the 5/3/1) and I don’t even want to try setting this all up again. I’m really disappointed because I own most of the Zen fitness apps and haven’t dealt with anything this frustrating from any of them. Hope this gets fixed, but right now I’m considering getting a refund..MagsL2Version: 1.4
