Fitbit Coach

First of all, I really appreciate the application that you've created and have been using recommending it to friends and family for the last four years. I've completed more than 400 sessions on it so have a long history of using it. Lately, the application is riddled with bugs. Whether it's re-downloading previously played sequences or simply signing in. These issues are more apparent on the android app. The final nail in the coffin for me is the issue with forward/reverse button at the bottom of screen. It simply doesn't work. That breaks the concentration between sessions and I have to wait for the ticker/times to complete before moving on. I've tried the remedy suggested by FitBit coach (logging out/re-installing/force closing) which didn't work. In case it helps, I'm using the App on Samsung Galaxy note 20 ultra. Having said that, I do not expect a quick fix and understand the dev cycles, so I'll be canceling my subscription after 4 years of usage. Extremely disappointed by the app regressing rather than improving over time.

I really want to like this service. The content is great. However, the app is a struggle. Sometimes the casting works, sometimes not. Now it will only try to cast, will not play on phone. All videos download to my phone, each time, using up a TON of memory. I'd also like to pick the workouts that sync with my ionic fitbit. Is there a settings menu I have yet to find?

App is good, I like the fact that it adapts to your level and what you achieved in your previous workout. I've found no other app that does that. But there's a glitch that has existed since at least 2018 where certain workouts get stuck & won't download. So if you're in a program it's rendered absolutely useless - you can't do the workout you're up to because it won't download, & you can't skip & proceed to the next workout either. It's completely useless. Support has not been able to resolve it

Has limited free options, but the free options are still good, especially for beginners. Sometimes the audio cues are misplaced, like at one point it said we were going to take a quick break but then there was another exercise, then a 1min break, which was not announced. So imperfect, but the UI is clean, easy to use, and you can still play your own music during workouts, although it will stop your music when you first launch the app.

NOT worth it. I had been paying for premium with no issues for more than a year. Then I was charged more than previously, and lost access to all of the premium content (90% of the app). Support services have been a nightmare to deal with. After denying me a refund despite my loss of access to content, they proceeded to stop responding to any further questions or requests I had. Very frustrated. The workouts are somewhat bland and while there is some progression, get repetitive after a while.

I have premium and enjoy the workouts but each month after my renewal almost everything locks. The first time I contacted support and they were very helpful. I'm reviewing now because it's a very frustrating glitch, bug, or whatever. Fitbit, I'm not sure why this is a persistent problem but please put some time in fixing it as it's extremely frustrating and I don't want to have to contact support every month.

I posted a review earlier, I thought, but it seems to be gone. I paid for the year subscription, and wish I hadn't. Unless you're already in pretty good shape, almost all of the workouts are too difficult. Most of them are listed as "Hard", but should say impossible. If I could do side planks and burpees, I wouldn't need this app! I guess if you're already buff and want some variety, it might be ok. The interface isn't the greatest either, and the integration with the Ionic, not ideal. :-(

I like the idea of thos app, but I can't just click on a workout and do it, I have to download it first, which takes a long time, then on some workouts I cannot see the moves it's just the coach talking. Plus, I'd like to see more flow stretching options, core workout options and full body workouts. You currently only a handful of stretching options. I'm not sure I would keep the app as it currently is, will stick with it another month to see if things change.

would like to see more easy workouts....some of us are beginners. It would also be nice if instead of just playing music they would do the timing....it says to do something for 30 sec but doesn't give you the start or stop time. I guess I was thinking it would be more of a coach walking you through the exercises. It does have good examples of how to do the exercises and a variety...especially if you want a hard workout...I am just not at that level.

I like the programs especially the ones I can do without equipment. The bodyweight workouts are great. I wish this app felt more integrated with the free fitbit app. For instance, I can go running and log 10k steps in a day without utilizing "a program" with a narrator, but premium will show no workouts unless I start a program and let it run to completion. For those of us that like to see progress, that is kind of a drag.
