Users report that the app lowers the music volume during intervals but does not restore it afterward, leading to an unpleasant experience.
“it reduces the volume for the entire length of the time.”
Frequent and intrusive ads disrupt users' workouts, causing frustration and making the app less usable during exercise sessions.
“the recent update (April 2020) made the app unusable... ads have rendered it useless.”
Users are frustrated that they cannot modify their custom workouts unless they pay for the pro version, which many find too expensive.
“You can’t edit the workout once you’ve made it without paying $12 which is way too much for a full version.”
