12 Minute Athlete for Negative User Reviews
✓ Apple Watch App BrokenGreat idea and good iPhone app. However Apple Watch App won't launch and no response from developers.Version: 7.4
✓ ExpensiveNothing wrong with the workouts, but it’s expensive for the type of content..Version: 7.0
✓ Doesn't work on 5S?Used to be great, but now won't go past the shake to get workout screen :(.Version: 1.5
✓ Login requirementWhat a waste of time. Now they want your email and password. Just want to work out not login all the time. Bad move people.Version: 4.1
✓ Great workouts but frustrating appLove the workouts but the app needs to be fixed. Shaking to get the workout to populate does not work consistently so I just look like a crazy person shaking my phone. Please fix !.Version: 6.2
✓ Bit buggyMost recent update crashes the app every time i try to select a new workout pack. i mean if you don’t want my impulsive purchase money that’s fine but 😕.Version: 6.6
✓ App won’t load!Hate to give a lousy review but this app won’t load on my iPad, my wife’s iPad, my iPhone, or my wife’s phone. Turned off VPN. Would love to give it a fair trial but it won’t let me. Tried before noon multiple times and now this afternoon. No luck..Version: 7.4
✓ Horrible - waste of $I paid $3 for an app that has minimal functionality unless you either pay more to unlock the workouts or pay their subscription fee..Version: 6.3
✓ New purchaseI have just purchased the app and hope to get cracking tomorrow as it looks good. My only gripe is that there is no option for Dumbbells and barbells in the equipment section and exercises with that equipment would be great!.Version: 2.2
✓ Reduction in workout variationAfter paying for this app a few years ago and with the recent upgrade, there seems to have been a sudden reduction in the different variations of exercises. It appears that for me to have continued access to different exercises, I now need to subscribe..Version: 6.8
✓ Not WorkingJust paid $2.99 for the app and can’t use it because it doesn’t let me create a log in. Facebook says the app is still in development so it can’t be used to create a log in. How do I get my money back?.Version: 6.0
✓ WorksHad issues with it freezing and being unable to register because of it. Few days later tried again and could register. Tried some exercises and seems to have a good variety..Version: 6.0
✓ UghI bought this app years ago and loved that I could shake it for a new workout sequence. It was such a good product. Over the years, it’s changed. The app became glitchy. I had to email customer service more than once just to log-in. Now it’s a subscription model, which is not what I originally paid for. I paid for something under certain terms and now the business doesn’t honor those terms. That’s called bait and switch..Version: 7.4
✓ App access now lockedApp now locked behind account registration and login. Unacceptable..Version: 4.1
✓ Subscription Payment?I downloaded to try but I got an email asking to confirm so I did. Then I went into the app and it says something about billing. I did not agree to anything about paying so I want to confirm that I’m not paying for something I don’t want but the app’s interface is horrible for figuring out such a simple answer. So, am I paying for something I don’t want? If so, how the hell do I cancel?.Version: 6.8
✓ Watch function buggyI love this app, but, when you pause the work out on the watch, even though the timer stops moving the actual timer does not stop. This causes the beeps to occur in the workouts to change while an incorrect timer is showing on the screen..Version: 6.7
✓ Can’t save workoutsThe app closes everytime I try to save a workout..Version: 7.2.3
✓ Please fix your databaseI like the app (would normally give it 5 stars) but it hasn’t been working properly for a while. No exercise library, no new workouts, not all of the exercises are unlocked (and I’m a yearly subscriber), and an error message on all of the videos. If not fixed soon I’ll be unsubscribing and asking Apple for a refund..Version: 7.2.3
✓ Bad Layout issueJust downloaded the app and there is a pretty crippling layout issue making it impossible for me to select/deselect equipment. i'm sure it's a fairly simple fix and as a developer myself i sympathize, but i was hoping for a smooth experience..Version: 6.3
✓ Too bad they broke itThis was a great app until they forced me to create an account to use it. No thanks. App deleted from my phone..Version: 4.0
✓ Doesn’t workWhen I try to play a video to see how an exercise , there is an error message on most of them.Version: 6.5
✓ My healthImprovement in my fitness.Version: 8.2
✓ Was a 5 starCannot see the exercises for the upcoming workout until after you start the workout. This is not helpful..Version: 7.1.5
✓ App glitch makes is minimally functionalI am paying for this app and can only access the new workouts. ALL other workouts have a blank screen. I can press go but I will never know what is in the workout until it shows up in the interval. That is no good. I have reached out through the website with no response so I have to amend my 5 star review down to one because it no longer works properly even with reloading app (after which you lose all data,) restarting and updating phone. I’ll be canceling my subscription if there is not an update soon to fix this bug.Version: 7.1.5
✓ Don’t always worksWhen the app works it’s perfect. But sometimes I just don’t see the exercices..Version: 7.3
✓ Nice for the priceThere are explanations for the workouts but it would be great if during the cool off intervals there was a quick explanation of the next workout so you don’t have to stop, tap info and watch a longer video. And something similar for the watch as well..Version: 4.9
✓ Not what it sounds or looks like...This App is more of a “trap” instead of a freedom individual workout. You pay $2.99 for just an already set 12 minutes or a 16 minutes workout that you cannot edit nor change workouts etc. In order words, if you don’t like that 12 mins or 16 mins workout this app is pretty much useless. I think you should be able to set your own exercises from the ones available and create your own workout. So if you want to have more of a freedom, you have to spend even more money and purchase one of their “workout packs” which will unlock more workouts. But once again, they are all already set workouts so if there’s one in that workout pack you can’t do because you don’t have the equipment needed, you can’t substitute it or change it for another one. Also, you can’t view the exercise packages BEFORE buying a pack so if you don’t end up liking that workout pack, you’re once again screwed. You should be able to see what you’re buying first!!! They also offer types of programs and a monthly and annually programs. At the end of the day, the main idea of this app is to be a business trap rather then a workout app. I would love my money back for the app and packs I bought. Not happy..Version: 6.3
✓ Update is a scamThis app was working just fine for YEARS and now the new monetization strategy completely hamstrings what used to be a nice timer and planning app. What a waste..Version: 7.3
✓ App does not workApp would not move past the "shake to start workout" screen. No matter how much I shook the phone the workout would not start therefore this app useless for me and does not work..Version: 4.5
✓ Good but pay model is let downSolid app with workouts and timer integrated. You pay for the app. But if you want more workouts, tracking etc... you have to move to a subscription model..Version: 4.4
✓ Almost Forces you to payThe free version has barely any content and everything is behind a pay wall. It shows you so many things you can do but you only can do a few things for free..Version: 7.0
✓ Watch app doesn’t workLooking for an interval timer that works for Apple Watch so I can do intervals while running. There’s a watch app but whenever I try to open it, it immediately crashes. Otherwise, it’s a good timer! I can set my own intervals and go..Version: 7.4
✓ Abandoned?Great app from a serious get fit athlete. But whoever Krista uses to keep an eye on this app seems to be asleep! No New Workouts for weeks now despite promise of 2 or 3 updates a week. No response from developers either. Apart from that there is tons of content elsewhere, all of it getting me fitter..Version: 8.2
✓ Paid account doesn't workPAID ACCOUNT DOESN'T WORK. I have sent multiple emails to the company referencing my invoice number. In two months, they've never so much as responded. They either can't or won't help. AVOID. RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES: Seconds Pro Strong Different approaches but, with minimal fuss, you can get great results with either. I wrote this review before app stopped working... Definitely worth the money just to take the thinking out of morning workouts! My one gripe is that the fitness tracking feature is only available as part of a $5 monthly subscription. I just chalk down my reps and use a different app for tracking. But it does seem like an oversight as it makes the app less user friendly. I'd happily have spent a little more to fitness track but $5/m is a big ask!.Version: 4.5
✓ Almost a good appThis app has potential but many flaws for someone new to HIIT. 1. No overview video of exercises in each work out. This is essential to creating a good app. Users need t quick overview video to see what’s involved. Clicking on the video after the work out has started is very bad UI 2. Shake device to start work out is annoying, esp when it doesn’t work half the time. 3. Entering number of reps within the work out, bad UI. You’re trying to catch your breath, not mess w your phone..Version: 6.4
✓ Not what it says it isYou download that app and there’s nothing really there. You have to subscribe and pay more money but they don’t even show you what you’ll get for more money..Version: 6.5
✓ I was disappointedI was disappointed because you feels like a trap to continually keep paying for more. There was no preview of programs. I thought I’d get more than one program.Version: 6.8
✓ Wasted 3 dollarsBought the app. Tried to signup and it wouldn’t go through on either of the two available signup features. So I just wasted 3 dollars on a useless app that taking up space on my phone. Don’t waste your money! I’ll change my review if the developer contacts me and either refunds my money or fixes the problem. I highly doubt that will happen. 👎🏿.Version: 6.0
✓ Warning scam!!!!!Save your cash doesn't work!!!!.Version: 4.3
✓ Does not record workouts on Health AppThis app does NOT write workouts onto the HEALTH APP as implied on the description. So if you’re using your Apple Watch it doesn’t register that you’ve done a workout. Aside from that, the workouts are so simple you might as well try others with more features like STREAKS WORKOUT or SEVEN..Version: 6.0
✓ DisappointedI have downloaded this several times and have been unsuccessful at creating an account. I was excited to check out the app and give it a try. That, however, is hard to do when you keep receiving an error message telling you to accept the terms and conditions when you have already done so. Disappointed and annoyed..Version: 7.1.5
✓ Worst. Font. Ever.Maybe a good app, but the font for the times and timer is horrible, couldn't get past how unreadable it was while trying to do a workout and look quickly at it... Makes the whole experience utter garbage. I'd skip this one..Version: 4.1
✓ Bait and Switch!!!! Not how you do business!I’m extremely disappointed. I have been using this app for 3 years keep up my fitness goals. One day I open the app and the features that were previously available, now cost $8 per month. I understand if as a company, you want to create a subscription business model, but if a customer is an early adopter, you grandfather them into the original offering. This is doing the right thing. I hope that the team behind this app does an integrity check with their business decisions. Extremely disappointed. Please do the right thing!.Version: 6.8
