Review summary

Grounds is valued for its all-in-one approach incorporating workouts, nutrition, and cycle tracking, and for its customizable, well-designed exercises suited for various levels. Users appreciate the strong community support and macro tracking capabilities. However, many complaints involve app stability problems, inadequate workout variety, especially for equipment-free options, and limitations in food database and tracking features. Users also find the period tracker insufficient and the interface somewhat clunky, with issues in workout editing, scheduling, and timer functions. Overall, the app shows promise but needs improvements in stability and feature depth.
Pros
  • All-in-one app combining workouts, nutrition, cycle, water, calories, and steps tracking.
  • Customizable workouts with exercise modification options to fit different equipment and abilities.
  • Workouts are well-designed, inclusive, and cater to different fitness levels.
  • Good customer support and active development with frequent updates.
  • Tracking macros, calories, and motivation from community and coaches help build consistency.
Cons
  • App crashes frequently and has stability issues especially when integrating with health platforms like Health Connect or Google Fit.
  • Limited number and variety of workouts, particularly for home workouts and equipment-free exercises.
  • Food database lacks localization for certain regions (e.g., Australia) and doesn’t allow saving custom food items or UPC scanning well.
  • Period tracker is very basic with limited insights and inability to opt out if not applicable.
  • User interface has usability issues such as difficulty editing workouts, inconvenient scheduling, inability to pause timer properly, and workouts canceling when leaving the app.

I love having everything in one app. I think one of the best features is the fact that you can customize/modify the actual workout to different exercises to allow for people to be on other machines or to work for your abilities.

Hate that they got rid of the option to switch moves in a workout. Also wish more deep core and area specific workouts. App is expensive for what you get, should be more workouts . Not really impressed after having the app aprox 6 months it's becoming boring

The calorie counter is a game changer. I am making better food choices. Eating right is the biggest part of being in shape and I was feeling so lost on how much to eat and what to eat. I feel I have direction now and am more efficient!!!

Absolutely LOVING the app so far!! The workouts are amazing with so many modification options, and I love that you can also track your cycle, calories, water, steps, etc. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an all-in-one, versatile, and inclusive fitness app!

I love the app, but I wish the interface it uses to connect your smart watch was better. Mainly that it would get your true TDEE from your watch and not just your exercise calories. Also, an option to see your daily deficit based on TDEE versus calories consumed. I miss that coming from MFP to Grounds. Don't get me wrong, Grounds is the far superior app but I do miss those features.

So far I am loving this app! It's helping me track my macros and protein easily!!! Haven't had any app like this one so impressed and watching Heidi's you tube videos in conjunction with the app and of course doing my workouts 3 to 5 days a week.

Pros :love the workouts and that the app is geared towards women. Cons: would love to cast this to my smart tv- makes it easier than looking at my phone or tablet or laptop. I don't have a cycle but I can't opt out of that feature on my home creen. I had to figure out the logging of meals and reordering of exercises it took some work. scheduling should auto fill on a program- going day by day is a hassle. also, I could not go back into initial questions to change something. not as user friendly

The workouts are great and I like that I can modify but the app crashes ALL THE TIME. Especially now that I've added health connect. I can't even get it to open. I have uninstall and reinstall. It's very frustrating.

App was good. But now it constantly forces stop and I can't access anything. Have tried contacting on more than 1 occasion and no one even emailed me back. Maybe a bad review will get the issue solved??

Great platform and love the inclusions HOWEVER! i would love to see foods available from Australia for quick scan, everything scanned so far isn't available and has to be manually added, this is labourous and tedious, i know you guys have done amazing works but this is unfortunately a downfall and i have to use another app to track my cals for Australian foods.
