Dancebit: Fun Weight Loss 4+

I had to email to support to log in but they were quick, helpful and resolved the situation in 2 emails. I tried the app straight away and really enjoyed the moves. Even though I dance I chose new to dancing to ensure I don’t go too hard too soon. It’s really good and the choices you have when you are selecting your goals gives you your chosen programme. So if you want 10-minute shots twice a day you can have them. If you want a 30-minute intense routine you can have it. I’m loving the app and recommend it!

Full disclosure, I am only on day 5 and accordingly things may get better and I will update the review if it does. So far however I have been very disappointed given the quite high price paid for the low standard of output on the app. The dances are very low energy, which may be great for some people, but I was hoping for something that felt like a real workout. Dancing is a great way to stay in shape and I was keen to give this a try, but the skill levels (beginner, intermediate and advanced) do not seem to to go into the daily video that you have to do. Most of the ones I have been given have been beginner, despite selecting intermediate in my profile, and I have found them simple and boring, and the music isn’t particularly motivating either. Even when I have selected intermediate/advanced dances they have been much the same. I have done Zumba in the past which I LOVED and it was really fun.

Despite this app advertising a programme that will be “personalised to you” it is very impersonal and so far I am not impressed and would recommend some other form of dance exercise. Perhaps if you are looking to build your fitness back up after a long break, it might be okay to ease you back in or if you are just starting out, nevertheless I would still say there are better things out there and I will be unsubscribing if the level doesn’t get better as I go through the first month.

I decided to download this app and give it a go, having seen it on my various media’s. I paid for the month subscription, unable to download free trial, but before I could even get to the exercises or personalised program I was pushed with a hard sell for a six month subscription. I had to tell the guy on the chat about four times. I was not interested in extending my subscription until I had tried the product.

When I finally got into the dance/exercise program and filled in my particular details, it was about as personalised as taking paracetamol for a headache. Apart from the usual age, weight, BMI, and macro dietary requirements, there was nothing personal about the program. There was no obvious way to notes, dietary allergies, so meal recommendations could be adapted, this is quite important for me as I have food allergies. There was also the way to adapt the exercise program for various fitness which would’ve been more helpful since I haven’t been able to exercise for 4-5 months now.

In all, I would suggest that if anybody wishes to use dance as a form of fitness, purchasing the Just Dance game would be more beneficial than this app.

Thank you for the review! We're sorry to hear that our app hasn't lived up to your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and assure you that we will continue to do our best to improve Dancebit in future updates. Stay tuned!
