I tried the trial version of this app, the concept overall is fantastic and it’s sooo close to being really good, it has the base components but just needs to level up its graphics and rewards to make it even more appealing. Right now the rewards are mostly apparel for your character, but I would love to see pages with specific badges and achievements and notifications (think Duolingo currently) that I can go back and view or look forward to. I really enjoy the rewards and reminders of their game.Would also love to see the social component expanded too so you can make “friends” or guilds and compete for titles and things. All in all I still really enjoyed my trial and am probably still going to sign up in the near future because I love the content. Just can’t wait to see more improvements because it is going in the right direction to make people who love games turn fitness into the same fun experience!!

It is everything I hoped it would be, as far as how it works and plays out, but it has some glitches. I cannot update my age because when it opens the calendar it seems to be white text on white background and I cannot use the calendar, so I am stuck being born this year. My hero page does show the hero fully, but my profile image has all of the parts of my hero misplaced so it is hair above blank space, blank skin, parts of a face and an outfit not all collected into an actual person. I'm still in the free trial and planned on upgrading but am concerned that Nerd Fitness may have ditched this app as the last update was a year ago. As much as the concept is exciting I don't want to buy into something if the developers stopped caring about it. As far as the quests and the main function and the intention of the app it is exactly how I would want it to work and I enjoy it. I do wish my hero's face wasn't so high up on the head though.

Nearly every time I open a video the entire app crashes. The program is good but the videos need to be better integrated considering the amount of money you pay to have access to the program. It makes working out extremely hard when you have to stop mid workout (I’m specifically having issues with the mobility training mission right now) where I have to stop every 30 seconds because the video freezes. Or right now the video just keeps crashing the app every time I pull it up and it crashes apple air play and everything. I’ve currently spent more time trying to fix the video than the workout would be. Please fix this. I also can rarely view the daily win video and instead have to read subtitles across a black screen to get the daily win. If the videos are that bad they should just give a transcript instead or at least in addition to the video since I can never view it.

Overall, it’s a pretty good app. I would like more flexibility in being able to choose workouts, even from the beginner phase, especially as I am not a beginner. Right now I’m not challenged and that’s frustrating. Their free content on their website is sometimes better and I wish it was incorporated more. One big request: please clearly list equipment needed. For example, the body weight workouts require a chin up bar which I don’t have. If I had known that, I could have either chosen a different adventure or purchased one. Overall, it’s okay. I am enjoying it for now and hope I’ll enjoy it more as I get into more challenging workouts.
