## Review summary

User feedback highlights strong positives around the app’s easy navigation, a rich exercise library with useful filters, a helpful GymLoad progress view, and decent Apple Watch integration. However, recurring issues across many reviews include confusing or hidden subscription charges and difficult cancellation, frequent stability problems (crashes, freezes, download failures), limited free features with most capabilities behind a paywall, and inconsistent iPhone–Apple Watch syncing. Onboarding is also lacking, with few or no tutorials. Overall, value appears tied to paying for a premium plan, while free use remains frustrating.

### Pros

- Easy-to-use interface and quick navigation.
- Extensive library of exercises with advanced filters.
- GymLoad visual progress view helps track workouts over days/weeks.
- Good Apple Watch / watch app integration.

### Cons

- Subscription billing issues and confusing trial with unexpected charges and difficult cancellation.
- Frequent stability problems; crashes, freezes, and download failures on iPhone.
- Inconsistent Apple Watch syncing and cross-device usability.
- Paywall that limits most features; few free options and many capabilities behind Elite plan.
- Poor onboarding and lack of tutorials or clear trial information.
