I started using this when I noticed my motivation to keep moving was slowing down. I like that I pushed to exercise a bit when I want to scroll mindlessly. I actually locked my tv shows on my phone too so I have to stop watching and get some exercise in. Not only is it helping me exercise but it helps me be more present and on my phone less in general!

•Rep counting is unreliable. I wait for the green signal and do reps slowly and deliberately, and it still doesn’t count them.•Requires form-fitting clothing to function at all. Having to change clothes just to use a fitness app is a ridiculous barrier.•Exercise recognition is extremely limited. Jumping jacks are tracked somewhat reliably. Squats, a bit less so. Lunges and planks aren’t recognized at all.•No Apple Watch integration. Why can’t this use my Watch to track activity? I shouldn’t have to carry a phone with pockets just to track a walk.•No modified push-up option. I can’t do standard push-ups, and there’s no way to log a modified version — not that I’m confident it would track those correctly either.Right now it doesn’t reliably do the one thing it’s supposed to do. Would appreciate an actual response from the team, and some real functionality fixes. I emailed the developer regarding all of this, but no response. Fake reviews are a gross way to scam subscribers. I’m going to put my time to Instagram to use and warn others.
Developer Response
Thanks for sharing your detailed thoughts. We’re sorry to hear the rep counting and exercise recognition have been unreliable for you—that’s definitely frustrating when you’re putting in the effort. We understand that requiring form-fitting clothes and the lack of Apple Watch integration make using the app more difficult, and that missing options like modified push-ups limit how well it fits different needs. We’re actively looking into ways to improve detection and expand exercise options, and your feedback will help guide those efforts. We also want to make sure everyone reaches us if they need help, so please try contacting our support team again—we truly want to assist. Thanks again for the honest input; it helps us keep getting better.
Love the concept - needs integration
JessTG08
I LOVE this concept - honestly bought the year subscription without doing my research I was so excited about this app. I like the exercise options, and that steps count…and then I found the caveat: the app itself reads steps, with your phone. It cannot sync to Apple Fitness to read my watch or read walks my treadmill reports to Fitness. I will be back with an open wallet as soon as this comes through!! I just don’t want to have to have my phone in my pocket, especially when I’m walking at my desk.
Developer Response
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for your enthusiasm—it really means a lot! We understand how useful syncing with Apple Fitness and other devices would be to make tracking steps easier without having your phone in your pocket. Right now, we rely on your phone’s sensors for step counting, but we’re exploring ways to improve integration and make the experience smoother. We’ll definitely pass along your feedback to the team. Looking forward to having you back with an open wallet when those updates land! Thanks again for being part of the Workout Locker community.
Keeps me accountable.
