BeatBurn Elliptical Trainer - Low Impact Cross Training for Runners and Weight Loss for Negative User Reviews

✓ Difficult to useI have found this application frustrating to use. Difficult to change any settings. It starts playing music as soon as I start the app, and there doesn't appear to be any way to change that. The controls are difficult to find and not intuitive. Rather than using an available song with the appropriate bpm, it uses a song that is too slow or too fast, and adjusts the speed, which makes it sound unnatural. There are songs with the appropriate bpm in my library, but it won't use them..MutantqVersion: 2.0.2

✓ Not worth the moneyThe music on this app is horrible. I try and put my play list in from I Tunes, but it won’t let me. All of the music is downloaded to my phone and it keeps telling me I need to download it. If I knew it was going to be like this I wouldn’t have purchased..Huntress 13Version: 3.1.8

✓ Volume problemsI have been using the app for about 1 year and it has worked well. Recently however, I’ve found it unusable. Every time there is an interval change, the app coach and music volume drops to zero. You can use the screen to see what speed and resistance changes to make but if there is an instruction to pedal backwards you would miss it. Changing the volume settings every minute of an hours workout is annoying. Please look into it as I’ve enjoyed using the app until now..Donny_tiffVersion: 3.1.8

✓ Work in progressFirst, I use this app along with other BeatBurn apps daily and love them all...except this one! I find THIS one and the lack of support for it very frustrating!! An update to fix the crashing and music problems has been promised forever, but they seem more intent on supporting their newer apps! I, too, am sick of the canned music that came with it! I have over 500 songs that I've added covering all BPM needs. I should never be subjected to what someone else thinks I might like! This version crashes constantly, and if it doesn't crash in the middle, it doesn't "finish" completely leaving you to hope that your workout got recorded correctly. I DO love the app, but I would wait for the next version...IF it ever comes! WHEN an update comes that fixes its issues, I will be very excited and will happily/quickly change my rating to five stars!! In the meantime, I'm sick of waiting for empty promises!!.Nancyp0913Version: 2.0.2

✓ Ok, but could have been so much betterUsed this for the first time today. The workout is fine and I can see how it would be motivating with the music etc. but the voice is really annoying! Would be a much better app with more voices (like a tomtom) wouldn't have bought it..Mulfred76Version: 3.1.3

✓ Not quite as expected...Maybe my 3G iPhone can't support the full BeatBurn. Turns out 15 songs of my library are the limit (I thought it would access my playlist at large). Not a big problem to choose 15 favorites, but I am having trouble getting songs chosen in the 'right' category of BPM (beats per minute). Hmmm. I thought this was going to adjust my tunes to match the beat, but doesn't seem to do that. The chosen songs are uploaded and evaluated for BPM by BeatBurn. Not sure what the criteria are and it offers no suggestions for choosing music in different levels of BPM (seems to need a range from 80 to 150BPM). The 'upbeat 24 songs' included on BeatBurn are all very techno, and so far both monotonous and very unfamiliar to me. I think I am better off making my own playlist and setting my elliptical for 30 minutes if I want to work out to what I like. However, I give the voice and directions 5 stars for pleasantness and planning. If I could just figure out the music (the reason I BOUGHT this app) I will be happy!.Marjik19Version: 1.0.0

✓ So frustrated...I have been using this elliptical app for over 3 years. When I started it was really the only one I could find that guided you through a workout. I loved it! I never was bored. Over the last year, my use was more sporadic as I trained for a marathon. However, the weather is getting colder and I plan to use my elliptical again on a regular basis. I opened my app as usual, changed my workout to 60 minutes, and then discovered ALL of my music (3 years worth!) was gone! It has happened before by my own mistake, but I easily (although, not quickly) was able to find my playlist in my music and transfer all of it back into the app. This time, that is not an option. I cannot get my own music into the app. I cannot use the BeatBurn unless I use the 15 or so songs that are stored within the app, that I did not put there & it is music that I do not care to listen to. I can listen to my playlist in the background, but it will not necessarily match the workout/beat I should be doing. The main reason I love this app is no longer available to me within the app and it's really discouraging. If/when the user can transfer their own music back into the workout, this is a 5 star app. Until then, it's not motivating enough to use it..SmilestephaniVersion: 3.1.8

✓ Needs option to TURN OFF the "interactive personal trainer"I was very excited to try this app, but I am disappointed by its lack of cofigurability. I want to set my own workouts. This "interactive personal trainer" does not know what I need. Also, I hate that pre-recorded voice talking at me all the time. Even though I set "Play Coaching Audio" to OFF, she just keeps talking and talking and talking. Annoying! I can't use this app unless it becomes more configurable to MY needs and preferences. The beat matching function is great, but I want to adjust the BPM to the rate of my choosing..Ahm76Version: 2.0.2

✓ Needs mph optionThe trainer and tunes were good for my first workout but you also need a mph option for speed as that is all some newfangled machines display (my gym has "lifeFitness" machines which display "speed" which I assume means mph...) Also - I have a few thousand songs on my itouch and when I try to run them all through for beat analysis it crashes every time. Is there a size limit on how many songs you can add? One last thing - at 80 or 90 rpm's, it feels like the machine is going to fall over, like I'm going to fall over, and I just find it really uncomfortable. I'd rather top out at about 70 rpm's with a higher resistance setting. Perhaps you could add a maximum rpm's setting? Make these changes and you'll get 5 stars. Thanks!.Doug0909Version: 2.0.2

✓ Not like the other beatburn appsI love my other apps from lolo ... This one has had trouble since this get go. It would crash while loading songs so they told me to load less songs at a time. It wouldn't pick my songs even when I had it set to only pick my songs ... They told me I needed slower songs! What is the point ? It is supposed to take your songs and slow them down. half the workout is that awful techno stuff they provide ... I'd rather listen to my songs at half speed that their stuff. Now the app won't even load. It crashes everytime ... They told me to reinstall ... So I'll have to reload all my song. App not even worth 3.99 ... Wish I could return it for all the time I've put into setting it up..OohKaeVersion: 2.0.0

✓ False AdvertisingDon’t buy this App, it does not sync with your iTunes music..Whiskey SnowVersion: 3.1.8

✓ Good app but needs some workThis is a great app that keeps me going on the elliptical. I Love the way the trainer encourages and guides you, and I love what it does with the beats! I just wish the developers would fix the bugs whereas the trainer sometime does not tell you what resistance to use and/or what pace keep up. This is app would be perfect if they can fix that..What's wrong with this thing?Version: 3.1.8

✓ Resistration doesn't workDONT BUY I bought the app and I cant even registrate, so I cant use it. I sent 3 different emails tu their support area and no answer at all So freaking disappointed. DONT BUY.PacopasVersion: 3.1.8

✓ DecentGreat motivating app, but has a lot of frustrating bugs on the music side. Adding in your own playlist and it can't calculate the BPM on most new songs. I spent 20 mins adding in music then because I didn't directly go to a workout, it lost all of that music I had added. It has the potential to be a 5 star..fix the little bugs though.T X PVersion: 2.5.1

✓ A lot to like and notSo this is a great set of apps...but if you have a large music collection it does struggle with crashes common. It is also a drag to have to set your music lists up for each app individually. It really is crying out for a centralised cloud based beat per minute database that users feed into....but that said...when it works its excellent..Red_EnginVersion: 2.5.1

✓ Persistent Issues Since iOS 8This used to be a great app but persistent bugs since the release of iOS 8 have not been addressed. The app looses workout history and always reverts to Day 1 of the program. Music doesn't cycle properly - I have over 100 songs on my iPhone app playlist but sometimes the app repeats the same song 3 times during a 45 minute workout. The app has a lot of potential. When working properly it provides great motivation and measurable fitness gains. The company, however, has been extremely slow to address the flaws they acknowledge have appeared since iOS 8..Edward_8888Version: 2.6.3

✓ DO NOT BUY Not a beginner work outThis is in no way a beginner exercise on the elliptical. If you are looking for something for someone with no endurance and little muscle mass go someplace else. The music is terrible, but I don’t like to workout to music so I shut it off and put on a podcast anyway. There needs to be more information on what any of these setting mean for a beginner. This app assumes institutional knowledge. What is elliptical resistance scale? How can I set it if I don’t even know what it means? A quick google brings up nothing. What is RMP vs SPM? Is 4.5 on a LTF elliptical the same? Thats about how fast I run, but this app says 45 rpm. Calorie adjustment? You’d think that the website would explain some, but it doesn’t. I can only assume that lolo doesn’t care since they have their money..ToplaylistVersion: 3.1.8

✓ If I could give zero stars I wouldHave I used this app in the past,YES! Was is awesome, YES, is it awesome now, NO! Why? I can’t get into it. I have look, bike & treadmill and they work fine. Some reason I can’t even log in, used multiply email addresses, NOTHING. So I say, ok, ill use forgot my password, oh wait, that won’t work either. So I try to start another account under a new address, lo and behold, that won’t work either!!! Deleted and reinstalled...nope, nothing. What is going on, PLEASE FIX!!.HunterngabbyhVersion: 3.1.8

✓ UselessI don’t get the purpose of this app the workouts are weak and it just has zero utility - don’t waste your money..21654Version: 3.1.8

✓ Updated review...My original review follows this one. At this time, however, i feel it is necessary to downgrade this app from 4 stars to 3. It's very good for its intended purpose, but it is very buggy. With each update, new bugs appear. It's quite annoying. The countdown timer is off, the calories burned that are counted don't match the figure on Facebook sharing. If I try to view my history, it locks up. I changed my Facebook password but can't change it on this app, so the sharing function doesn't work. Losing patience... ---------original review follows----- I've been using this app for about 4.5 months and, combined with the Lose It! app, have lost 21 pounds. It provides challenging workouts with lots of flexibility. I am not a "fitness buff", but I am kinda liking exercise now. I like the ability to post my workouts on Facebook, as it provides a sense of accountability and I have fb friends who cheer me on in my efforts. Only real complaints: first, with the latest update the calories counted are significantly lower than the amount reported on fb. Second, I can't stand the lousy lolo music and have set a varied playlist of my own, but it still sneaks in some of that horrible music on the 30-second intervals. Regardless, I'll continue to use it and have recently started using the boot camp app..Renner620Version: 2.0.1
