Great workout app, has 90% of the exercises you're likely to do pre-coded in. The non-stop user-interface updates caused me to open Google Play to rate this 4/5 because it seems like every week, the UI changes and almost never for the better. Heck, I'd probably pay for the ability to revert the UI updates. The latest one seems to want to take the top 1/3rd of the screen just to show you the name of the workout plan you're on. Otherwise happy with the app, it's tracked 5 years of logs no issue.

2024: This app has improved so much! The developers are constantly adding updates and the companion watch app continues to elevate this tracker above the others! 2016: Add synching with wearables and leading health sites like MFP; then add a visual of what muscle (s) are being worked by the exercise. With those two features added, JEFIT becomes the best, all around, hands-down, fitness app. It's great without those features but with them would be fantastic, awesome, amazing, you get the idea.

Used this app for years. The new UI update has made it useless. Used to be intuitive and easy to edit workouts on the fly. I just spent more time trying to edit my weight and rep inputs than actually exercising. Why turn what was a perfectly useful functioning workout tracking tool into a jarbled social media wellness mess. Canceled my subscription. Moving to pen and paper.

Very easy to use with simple navigation. The app has a wide variety of exercises and workout programs and if you don't see any that you like you can create your own. Tracking sets and reps is simple and if you have the premium version you can swap out exercises easily during the workout. it also allows you to see less worked body parts to ensure you are hitting every muscle group throughout the week. Overall in the last few years this app has became more streamlined and user friendly.

Can neither plan nor track. I needed a replacement for another app that was removed, but this one doesn't work. I added a community template. Clicked download and it tells me to sync with the mobile app. I found a sync button... somewhere on the app but it doesn't do anything that I can see. I tried, "Try it out" on the website.. takes me to a page I can't edit. Terrible. If they can take the time to make the app coherent to use, don't waste your time using this.

The new UI is terrible, still has so many bugs. The worst part is that before you would be able to edit reps, rest time and intervals by swapping right or remove by swapping left, that feature is gone. Edit a day isn't intuitive anymore, you would fine it very difficult to just change the day of a workout because now you have dots options everywhere

The app has everything you need but the new formatting has made it a pain to use and navigate and no it's not something you get used to, its just bad. Instead of using days of the week I label my workouts based on muscle group, the labels on the app just show ANY, ANY, ANY, ANY, ANY since this is where the day would normally go so you have to click on each "day" to figure out which workout each one is. Finding the history of each exercise is also buried to see the last time you did it.

The previous format the app used was much cleaner. The UI was great, you could see your max 1RM for each set and compare easier, the rest clock was more intuitive, etc. I still find the app to be the best workout tracker, it's just unfortunate the UI has changed for the worse. I will be attempting to find a previous verison of this app online to download and use so that I can have the old experience back.

Dropping rating for the new UI in the last update and moving to HEVY app instead. It was fine but they decided to do a a total overhaul. Having a giant DAY 3 above my work out takes up space and serves no purpose. I don't need to see my plan, it's been the same for years. The app is consistently dropping in rating over time which shows the overall sentiment.

I first used this app over 10 years ago, and it actually introduced me to proper lifting, and different workouts based on equipment. back then, it was a different layout and you would only select which muscle groups you wanted to target, but now I am glad to see the changes in the app, and it's still amazing. not a fan of the membership prices, but I respect it nonetheless.

I have used Jefit for years and on the phone it's fine. But with my Pixel 2 watch and Pixel 7 phone, it just doesn't work well. The app is frustratingly just not ready for prime time. The dream of having your workout on your wrist is not fulfilled b/c it requires a sync with the phone app after your workout, which I'm fine with conceptually, but the sync frequently doesn't work, even after re-loading the app many times, being sure I'm on latest phone and watch firmware, etc.. Soooo frustrating!

I've been using the app for eight plus years and got a smart watch about two/three years ago to use with the app. I only use the basic feature(s) of choosing the exercises and logging sets; nothing else. Being forced to pay $70+ JUST to utilize the watch as a companion, and additional features I will never use is a bit of a cash grab. If you all had a price point of say $1-2.99/mo to use the watch, or some sort of tiered approach, that would be worth it, but not $70. You lost a loyal user. 😔

Jefit boasts a daunting amount of exercises in their library, but offers mininal tools for finding the right one for your routine. You can filter by muscle group (eg back exercises) but not specific muscles (eg lats/rear delt). The same is true for equipment. I didn't expect much for cardio options, but what is available is less than minimal. Trying to set up a HIIT routine is tedious and clunky. There's also no way to save a cardio exercise if it has a single rep (eg warm-up set).

Look, it used to be the best app to create and track workouts and plans. However, ever since they changed the apps user interface, it's a pain to use. It used to be easy to edit workouts, remove and exercises, etc. But now it's not. I don't know why the developers decided to ruin a perfect app, but as soon as I find one better, I'm switching. Which is a shame because I've been a user for as lost as I can remember.

Update: I decided to upgrade my watch specifically to have this app on it lol (Need the Wear OS.. like galaxy watch 4 or newer)... I finally found an app that I so needed and it's free!!! I needed something that had all the machines I had access to( plus everything else from resistance to kettles etc), Allowed me to create my own workouts for each day of the week, And it shows me what I was able to do the last time I did Each exercise!!!!

The free version has everything you could want in a workout app. Building the workout is intuitive and the app allows multiple workouts so you can rotate by day. There's also a built-in timer to keep you on track between sets and rests, a great progress tracking system, and an automatic 1-rep max calculator for every exercise. Very helpful

One of the best lifting apps, however, it used to have a feature where it incentivised your workouts by offering "Elite points" for your effort (which could get you well-curated workouts and extra stats about your lifts), but now it seems they're just after your money like everyone else. It's sad to see free tools slowly disappearing one-by-one, especially since physical fitness and health are so prevalent in our current times.

The latest update has broken a few things. When I finish the sets in an exercise, the exercise does not get the check mark consistently in my workouts any more? It seems to be completely randomized now, some exercises show up as completed and others don't. When I try to change the workout weight or reps, the alphabetic keyboard appears and not the numeric one. Were these fields changed from ints to strings in the source code? Every update seems to break existing functionality.

I'm changing my review. The new UI is confusing & cluttered. The rest timer takes up too much of the screen. It was much better when it was just an overlay. I also much prefer the set timer auto starts & counts up. I'm thinking this update falls under the if it's not broke don't fix it category. It would be great if the option to edit current exercises in the database to add weight to those without a weight option and vice versa.

I've been a subscriber for years, but they will completely revamp the UI for no reason every month or so and break several things: this newest round is one of the worst yet. There's no way to edit a program unless it's your current active one for example, and worse, each exercise defaults to to 10 pounds not your last weight lol, very very frustrating
