Sworkit Fitness & Workout App for Negative User Reviews
✓ AvoidThey want 80$ a year for them to explain how do sit ups and push ups.... just use a free resource instead plenty out there.Version: 10.5.7
✓ TIMINGS STILL AN ISSUEDespite the update claiming the timings has been rectified, this is still an issue. The breaks are included… 20mins workout is now 25mins or you have to use your brain to physically count the amount of workouts you’ve done. I’m already suffering trying to workout, don’t need to be using my brain too 😂 Great app though. But sort it out so it can be 5 stars👀.Version: 10.12.2
✓ Was great, now subscription only!I've had this app for years, before they charged a subscription. I can't remember how much I paid for it but it was a reasonable one-time fee like $7.99 or something. While I am grateful that I have been given free "Legacy Pro" status and have received many updates to the app since I first bought it, I was extremely disappointed to discover that SWORKIT is now only offered via a recurring subscription of $80 per year. I recommended it to my wife but at this new price scheme (scam) it is unaffordable. I understand the need to have money coming in so they can continue to keep the app updated, and I will admit that I have received a ton of value from my initial purchase of it years ago, but $80 per year in perpetuity is just way too much. It should be something reasonable like $15 per year or $50 and own it forever..Version: 8.2.2
✓ Music doesn’t workI wanted to workout and have music going in the back ground and the app would not play Apple Music or Spotify.Version: 10.2.0
✓ Yeah It’s Not FreeI’m not sure what free functions this app has other than listing movements that you can do. Just not worth it..Version: 10.5.5
✓ Doesn’t open on iphoneSad.Version: 9.0.7
✓ It cost moneyI’m 12 years old I got this cause it says it free with no subscription by a comment and I do it and it wants me to pay 80 something dollars please reply back or I will make the star a 1 I’m sorry please explain.Version: 10.4.0
✓ Seems to be multiple bugsI LOVE the exercises - however I can only use this on my iPhone, when I try to use it on my laptop or iPad it freezes and I have no idea what I’m doing. Plus it does not mark off the exercises on all 3 devices which is very frustrating. Using it on my iPhone does not work for me, it’s way too small. I’ve tried everything to work out why it’s freezing and nothing works. I’m only on my 1st month but will not be carrying on with my subscription..Version: 8.1.3
✓ Update: loved it for a while, it’s been buggy for a few monthsIt seems that the culprit may be integration with apple watch. i tried today without the watch app on and the exercises ran as expected, without skips back. the app worked great for a while but has started skipping back and forth in the middle of exercises. i’ll be doing a workout and , for example, 10 seconds in it will start back at the beginning of that exercise, or after announcing the exercise just as it is about to start, skips back to announcing that exercise. today i had one exercise skip back over 4 minutes until i manually skipped to the next. it seems to be getting worse and now i cannot do any workout without the skipping back during most exercises..Version: 10.19.2
✓ Everything costs nowThis app was good but now you have to pay for almost every workout (premium).Version: 5.4.6
✓ Generally like this appI do like the way this app works, the exercises, and even the programs. However, the new way the timer is set to work is just annoying. If I tell it I want a five minute workout, the breaks are included in that five minutes so I actually only get about three minutes of exercises, especially if it’s for stretching which has to pause to change sides. Now to get five minutes of exercises, I have to tell it ten and then figure out where to stop it early so that I actually get what I wanted. A real pain when I want it to pick ten exercises from a list of 20 and now I have to figure out when to stop it because the options for exercise length is in five minutes increments. If it were one minute increments then at least I could say six or seven minutes and not have to worry about ending it where I need to..Version: 10.12.0
✓ MAKE THE WORKOUTS FREE!My P.E teacher introduced us to Sworkit because we have been doing online school at home due to the virus. I was interested in the app and decided to download it. The app is easy to use and offers great exercises for beginners to advanced levels. I didn’t realise that you had to pay to be able to access most of the workouts. The kids workouts were good but there is only six of them. Please make more free workouts or at least make the existing ones free because a lot of people are deterred by the price. It discourages people from wanting to get fit and actually utilising the app to its full potential. Quite disappointed but will still use the kids workouts until the other ones are made free..Version: 10.1.0
✓ Good however not cheapI felt that that this app so great however why am I paying such an extensive amount of money to excercise? Should we not be thoroughly encouraged to do so? While I highly appreciate the workouts I have access to, I would like to see a cheaper alternative. Thanks Sworkit.Version: 8.0.2
✓ Not very accessible for wheelchair usersI have been using this app for years. I have always loved the variety of exercises and how easy it is to navigate and track workouts. However, I have recently become paralyzed and realized that there really aren’t workouts that are geared towards people who are paralyzed. If you go into the exercise library and look at individual exercises there are many that are already wheelchair/paralyzed friendly. I am paralyzed below the hips so using the app is a little difficult when I have to pick out each exercise from several hundred options. However, there are no pre-made workouts that are made fully accessible so you have to go through several hundred exercises to find the accessible ones. I would really love if Sworkit created workouts within the app that have pre-made workouts in different areas (stretching, cardio, strength, etc.) where every exercise in the workout is either already accessible for someone who is paralyzed or can be easily adapted for someone who is paralyzed..Version: 10.7.4
✓ Love SWORKIT!I have been subscribing to SWORKIT for at least 2 years and I love the variety and flexibility that it provides. Also, excellent customer service! Quick responses to questions and feedback. Just like having a personal trainer!.Version: 10.4.0
✓ Latest update is no goodI used to love this app. Have used the premium version for a year and a half to lose weight and keep fit in the comfort of my living room. But after the latest update, the plans don’t record my progress. Even after I manually enter that I’ve finished s workout, the next time I open that page it’s back to zero. Very frustrating because I don’t always remember which exercise I'm meant to do next. I also wish there were more plans to follow. I went through the beginner, intermediate, and advanced leaner plans (more than once), and am now I’m my second round of the advanced fitter plan and I’m just getting really bored..Version: 9.0.8
✓ Want to love it but...I bought a full year subscription because I love the variety and structure of the workouts. However, 3/4 of the time it doesn’t record my workout and I have to re-run the workout while I’m showering it for it to log. Very annoying for a paid app especially....Version: 10.2.1
✓ Not completely freeJust for those that think it is completely free, you have a subscription after your first free month.Version: 8.1.3
✓ MoneyNeed to spend like $70 or you can't do much of anything.Version: 5.4.6
✓ No trial without $You can’t trial without signup..Version: 9.0.9
✓ Would give 0 stars if I could.I do not have a subscription to this app and got an email that said I was being charged for one. I have contacted the company but have not heard back. If I do get a refund, I’ll update this but until then, beware that they like to steal money. Update: I have since received my refund although due to the exchange rate changing, my refund was short by about $2..Version: 10.5.10
✓ Total rip offNew update tries to constantly get you to “upgrade to the premium version”. Taken away all the usual free features. None of the workout plans are very good and the constant pop up windows are tacky and in poor taste. It’s a shame because I actually use to enjoy using this app. I guess I’ll just have to switch to one if the other thousand apps that offer the exact same thing. But without the constants annoyance of a 3rd rate “premium” being forced into my face! Don’t waste your time or your data!.Version: 8.0.2
✓ BogusDoesn’t work without the subscription..Version: 10.2.1
✓ Way too expensive!I used to love this app. Then they jacked the cost up to almost the price of a gym membership. I’d be happy to pay $10 a year, as I only use it now and again, but there’s no way to justify the new price. If you’re not an obsessive exerciser, and you don’t have a money tree growing in the yard, download something else..Version: 9.2.6
✓ Longtime userI have used this app for years now. With the update there are definitely things that need to be fixed and ironed out. $1 a year is okay, or even $1 a month is okay, but when it hits that $80 mark there is no way I will pay, not worth the price tag. The voice change in the update is not as good as it used to be. If there was an option where you could select the instructor’s voice, or it was something less harsh, that would be welcome. The app is not syncing to MyFitnessPal any longer. And new workout moves need to be added. The same catalog with nothing new is getting old. If you’re going to put that high price tag on it, then live up to the standards of what it should be. I hope you take everyone’s constructive criticism or your will lose longtime users no doubt..Version: 9.0.4
✓ Locked outI've been using sword it for ages....mainly to motivate my high school students to get fit. Why is it no longer free?.Version: 8.0.2
✓ Great if you can afford itI used to use this app every day, for stretching, but now it’s only available with a paid subscription. Too bad they wouldn’t offer a version with advertising, for instance..Version: 10.7.4
✓ Used to love itI used this app in the past to work out and it was great. I didn’t use it for a while but I just signed back in and to my surprise you need to pay a subscription fee. How unfortunate, just going to delete it and not bother..Version: 10.5.2
✓ Not impressedUsed this app years ago and it was great. I am on an exercise kick again and decided to download app again. I had previously purchased the paid version of the app after upgrading from the free version, so imagine my surprise to learn that the app now runs a subscription service and my previous purchase amounts to nothing. I’m not impressed. In response to developer: This was back in 2014. I don't recall ever having to login, just downloaded the paid version of the app. When I do try to login with my email account the current version of app says 'the specified user account does not exist'. Please advise..Version: 8.0.2
✓ Great alternative option but there are flaws...I was excited when I got to use the app at my school but I don’t understand why you have to pay vast amounts of money just for exercise! This app from the SWORKIT company is not recommended for those just wanting to stay in your home and workout for free. BUT THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE ALTERNATIVE WORKOUT OPTION!!!! The mini versions of SWORKIT are literally FREE! NO HUGE PAYMENTS, NO MONEY WASTED AND BEST OF ALL NO SIGNING IN TO ACTUALLY GET IN! No catch. Get rid of this useless app and get the mini ones instead!.Version: 8.1.3
✓ Immediate crashingHello, I’ve been using Sworkit for a week now and am very excited about it. Only 3 stars for now though because the app is now crashing immediately when I click on it and won’t open at all. I’ve tried both restarting my phone and deleting and reloading the app but it doesn’t help. Please fix!.Version: 11.0.0
✓ Scam!Just downloading the app will charge you $2.81 cad! And it says nowhere that downloading the app is NOT FREE!.Version: 10.17.0
✓ Bugs spoil an app with potentialWon’t sync with Apple Health even when all toggles are enabled. Apple health can’t read the data like it can in competing apps. Workout series such as their June Challenge can’t be added to your workout as a complete series. Instead you have to do each day by hand. And when doing that it sometimes it will rename days to custom workouts. Other times it will add the same day even when different days are selected to be added. The days in custom workouts can’t be reordered. Even if you do the workouts from the challenge series directly instead of adding them to a custom workout plan it still renames them to custom workout so you don’t know what days you have done. Devs, please fix this. These things are extremely annoying when you want a smooth experience and get your exercise done. Thanks..Version: 8.1.3
✓ Used to be freeI used to have this APP and there were so many free options available, especially for YOGA. Went to recommend this APP to mental health clients only to see that everything is a yearly subscription now. Very disappointing.Version: 10.15.1
✓ DisappointmentHaving downloaded this app a number of years ago when it was free and frankly brilliant I am hugely disappointed that despite being an existing user the app is now forcing me to either delete the app or to sign up to an account and subscription. Was a great app and I can understand that the company behind the app would want to start charging- and charging those that are new downloaders is perfectly acceptable - but to then try and charge those that downloaded it when it first came out, those that helped spread the word about what was a great app is hugely disappointing from the owners..Version: 8.2.3
✓ HorribleLong time user of this app. New subscription model which I am fine with. However it relies on an internet connection. My work gym is underground and has no cellular reception. So the app first gets stuck trying to “load” my custom workouts. Then moments later when it realised there is no internet connection it automatically logged me out, and the app was useless. Incredibly frustrating..Version: 9.0.8
✓ Good workoutThis is a great workout system ! Highly recommend but unfortunately it does not always sync to my fitness pal as it claims to.Version: 2.2.4
✓ AnnoyedKeeps glitching and cutting out in middle of a workout, would rate 4 stars if this was fixed. Also a lot of the exercises won't play. Fix it please.Version: 3.6.0
✓ Strength part glitchesSometimes with the strength workouts it doesn’t count the minutes properly. This is the case for the upper body one..Version: 10.2.1
✓ Disappointed!I’ve just downloaded the 3 different Sworkit apps after watching an episode of Shark Tank and the other 2 seem to work perfectly fine but this Sworkit Fitness app is just showing a pulsing stopwatch in the middle of a white screen when I try to open the app and I can’t use it at all! I’ve tried force closing and reopening about 10 times now but still nothing. Not too happy about this as I had high hopes after seeing the Shark Tank episode and was really looking forward to using the app..Version: 9.1.5
✓ Nothing free and annual subscription expensiveWhat would justify a $100 annual subscription for an app you have to organise your workout ? Give personalized advices and that will justify the price.Version: 10.0.6
✓ Used to really enjoy the appI liked it when there were more free options with the option to pay for extra stuff, and didn’t mind seeing the ads when they appeared. Now the app is essentially useless unless you want to shell out for premium. 2 stars instead of 1 for how good the actual workouts are, though I’m pretty much done with the app now. If you’re willing to pay then this is a good bodyweight workout app..Version: 10.6.0
✓ It’s not free anymore!They should leave the free version so people can try it and judge if it is worth to buy, so forget about it..Version: 9.0.4
✓ Don’t like it anymoreI used this app everyday it was great until you have to now pay for stuff I loved the free options now there’s very limited.Version: 10.4.0
✓ Still waiting to restore functionality from 3 months ago!Used to be very slick and well functioning app. Then became premium only - which would have been acceptable, if at the same time, there hadn’t been a loss of functionality. Since then, the developers have slowly added back some of the functionality. I was willing to be patient. But now it has become quite apparent, 3 months on, how unacceptable it is that functionality from before is STILL not present, there are still bugs, AND they have the cheek to still insist on the premium-only model. You can only roll out a premium-only model if the product improves. This has not - the produce is still worse than before the major update..Version: 9.0.9
✓ GlitchyI like this app a lot because of the content. I used to use this in past years and never had many issues. Lately though, I’ve started using it a lot more and have noticed many issues. Sometimes buttons on the app don’t work or take me to a page that says “undefined.” There are at least three buttons that do that. I signed in when I redownloaded the app, but every time I finish a workout it tells me to sign in to get the full access to the app and workouts on it. After having used the app for so long I was upgraded to premium for free and it’s been glitching since then. This is a recent issue but some workouts aren’t loading and come up as undefined. I want to continue using this but I want this fixed. This is why my rating is so low..Version: 10.1.0
✓ Poor beginners approachSo, I don’t often write reviews but felt I needed to in this instance. I’ve just signed up for the 7 day free trial hoping that the cost of the subscription suggested a good product. I selected the 30 minute absolute beginners workout thinking that it would offer an easy option that would explain how to perform the exercises, where I should feel the pain during stretches and interact with me whilst I struggled. However I was presented with a short clip of someone getting into the stretch and then the image froze for 90 seconds whilst I maintained the stretch. No sense of interaction at all. After the 90 seconds the clip changed position to the other leg and then froze again leaving me alone so to speak. 90 seconds is a long time to stay in one stretch for a beginner and I’m not sure I would recommend it. There seemed to be an assumption that beginners can simply hold these stretches and don’t need reassurances. Personally I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone thinking of starting up on an exercise regime as they may very quickly feel disillusioned with it all. There are far better apps that offer better workouts for beginners. Disappointing. I won’t be continuing after the free trial..Version: 9.1.2
✓ What’s going on?I have been a long term user (3 years or something) of this app, and was offered a $1 one year membership when it became subscription based. Now I can’t even get in to the app it’s stuck at the loading screen? Incredibly frustrating and am looking elsewhere for another workout app. I loved using sworkout and would like this issue to be fixed asap.Version: 9.0.8
✓ Used to love itJust signed back in and you have to pay 70$.Version: 9.1.4
✓ Not Happy!I cancelled my prescription and it still took money out of my account! And I now have no option to keep trying to cancel it, I hope it doesn’t continue to take money out of my account 😡.Version: 9.0.9
✓ New version not workingThe new version has bugs, sets weird exercise lengths (161 seconds!!), rest periods and ignores custom rest periods and intervals. Currently unusable. Also only a male voice and all support queries have gone unanswered. A great app has gone bad just when it became $78 per year..Version: 9.0.7
✓ Error MessagesWith one thing and another, it’s been awhile since I’ve used this app. Getting back into the swing of things and was looking forward to a workout with this today. I’d purchased the Pro version of this back before it was subscription based. I liked the fact that I could listen to music in-app during the workout, but unfortunately, this is no longer the case. Now I just get an error message that says “There was an error, please try again.” I also get an error message when trying to login to my account through Facebook. Not sure if this is an attempt to encourage me to buy the subscription or not. Either way, it is still disappointing. No matter how I paid for it, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect it to work at the same level now as it did at the time of purchase..Version: 9.1.0
✓ It might be good but it is nothing freeIt can be a good up without 1000 of payment workout sessions Test it can to be done before the payment is done.Version: 5.4.6
✓ YeahAlthough I enjoy the variety of exercises they guide the user through. I don't think there is nearly enough time between each exercise in the routines. In my opinion 3-4 seconds is not enough time, maybe I'm just slow, but I would suggest letting the user choose how much time they want in between. Also, in my opinion the yoga workouts are terrible. They stress me out, there's no time in between the different poses, and there's little to no warning of up coming poses until they're actually happening. Also, I would prefer seeing the transitions between poses with the trainers rather than the glitchy switching between the trainers. But maybe that's just me. Yes, the apps nice as a whole, but these things are the difference between me purchasing the workouts and not doing so..Version: 5.4.6
✓ Terrible update makes it unusableI really enjoyed using this in the past but since the last update it forces me to do a 30 days free trial which I have no intention to do and it has become impossible to access the basic workout which used to be free. It worked fine for me in the free version, the fact I’m now forced to subscribe via iTunes is a total turn off and means I can’t now use the app which is rendered useless. Thankfully the nike app is very good and means I can delete sworkit knowing I won’t miss it..Version: 8.1.1
✓ Improve the UXAre you serious? I can’t even try your app without signing in? In this era of short lived attention you decided to not let users even have a look at your app without signing up ?.Version: 8.1.3
✓ Used 2B very good; not anymoreI had the Sworkit app ever since it was first created, and I loved it. The variety of workouts, the customizable features, everything kept me motivated & happily paying the monthly subscription. Then, late 2019 it started acting buggy, not displaying workout times, names, days, not loading or freezing often, every thing to mess up my workout groove. I gave it a few weeks to see if updating or uninstalling/ reinstalling would help, but it didn’t. Finally, I contacted the app maker for help & to see if I could get a refund for the months it was messed up(because of course, the billing of my cc always worked) & they promised to refund me for the months it wasn’t working, but they never did. Finally, after having my exercise schedule messed up for too long, I gave up on Sworkit. Shame. On them..Version: 10.0.8
✓ DisappointedI’ve been a long time user of sworkit and now it’s telling me that there is no longer a free version for the app! not happy at all that i’m now expects to pay money to do a workout that doesn’t even require equipment !.Version: 9.1.1
✓ Terrible to loyal customersIf you purchased the original app, you longer get access to it. Doesn’t make sense an app you’ve purchased can be restricted so you can’t use it. And to move your bought version to the new app if terribly tedious. And the fact I’m now forced to pay a subscription to use something I’ve already bought which wasn’t in the original deal is scummy. Just forcing this to make a higher profit than what was already profitable. Hopefully more people get a sense that these tactics are worth it..Version: 10.19.1
✓ Can't get past opening screenUsed to love this app, thought I'd try it again. Unfortunately, it freezes on the loading screen image and stays there forever. Pity..Version: 10.5.2
✓ Super priceyI’m a loyal sworkit user, I have used this app for years but have stuck to the free version because I just can’t justify the price. I could pay the same amount to actually go to the gym and use maintained equipment. Massive put off.Version: 10.4.0
✓ ⛔️ Buggy & GreedyThe app is a laggy electron (or similar) app; clearly not built with Swift and native UI components. Get ready for nasty and slow input responses. Subscription rates are way too high as well. They expect lots of money, but don’t want to build a proper iOS app..Version: 9.2.16
✓ IPhone app good, Apple Watch app buggyI really like the iPhone app, but the pairing with Watch doesn't work well. Firstly, the Watch app itself offers little functionality except reminders when it's time to change to the next activity. But worse, it is very buggy. The timings are often out, it duplicates activity data in Apple Health, and the app often doesn't close when the workout finishes, - so today it carried on recording a workout for 2 hours after I'd finished, draining the watch battery hugely and resulting in much higher active energy and exercise minutes than I'd actually done. I've now deleted the app from my watch, but that means it doesn't use heart rate readings to calculate energy use etc..Version: 10.6.0
