We analyzed 108 negative reviews of Stronglifts 5x5 Workout from the App Store. Here's what users are saying.
Users feel betrayed by the removal of 'lifetime' access, with frequent pop-up ads for subscriptions.
"My lifetime subscription was removed and now I have to pay yearly."
"Stop spamming Pro. Every time I open the app, it's a popup."
I purchased this app years ago (before subscription) and it was a pretty decent app, but trying to charge 12$ a month is criminal. I guess you need to pay for the fake reviews somehow. No way 80k people are reviewing this app at 4.9 stars
My app became buggy with the connection between my watch and phone. Sometimes it would not sync the workout timers and rests properly. Final straw was me deleting one false workout that didn’t actually have any lifting, which resulted in my entire workout history for years being erased.
Had been a user since 2015 and purchased the pro pack. Latest update forces a recurring subscription and there is no bypass available. It was a good run with lots of memories, but now I’m forced to delete the app after this review.
Free options no longer available
This used to be a great app and back in the day I paid for an upgrade. Now every time I return to the home page I’m prompted to sign up for a subscription. You really ruined a useful app with your greed.
Can’t use the app without a subscription now.
Singed up for the 7 day trail yesterday. Today wake up to the yearly subscription charge. SCAMY business practices.
