The Pvolve app and the website never work! My mother and I got yearly subscriptions and have been unable to access them weeks on end. Great workouts when you can access them but terrible technology. I don't want to get rid of my account but if it won't work I have no choice!
I paid for my subscription through the website. I downloaded the app, logged into my account and was immediately directed to a page to pay for a subscription. I can not go anywhere from there so I will uninstall.
I really wanted to like this company and app. The workouts are pretty good and the equipment is new and that makes the whole experience exciting. However, they made some updates to the app and in the process lost all music for the workouts. That may or may not bother some, but then they made more adjustments and now the videos can't be casted. So, you are stuck watching the workouts on a small screen AND need another device for music. These movements are too dynamic to watch a phone screen.
Right now, the app automatically disconnects from my TV after each video, which was pretty annoying when I was doing 6 videos that were under 2 min each. It would have been great if I could just add them all to a playlist, so I didn't have to mess around with my phone every 2 min. I also found that I couldn't drag the marker to a time, I had to use the 15-sec fwd/back buttons. It would also be nice to be able to set up a workout reminder for a certain time. I'll update once I've used it more.
Workouts are good, app could use some improvement, that I'm hoping will come over time. Some of the workouts don't register as completed. Some further breakdown of stats would be nice, i.e. separating tutorials/stretches from total completed workouts, etc, but does not affect the effectiveness of the app. Finally - any examples of the types of workouts that include music? I have browsed a variety of workouts and none seem to have the music functionality.
I had already put my review, I suppose it was deleted. The application is horrible!! You cannot touch the screen while playing a workout because it force closes the application!! I am extremely frustrated because I spend more time fidgeting with he application vs workout out. I am disappointed because I bought the whole summit 60 program then ordered the precision mat, but this application is super discouraging. I already have trouble with motivation and this program was my new leaf.
I like the workout but the app always has streaming issues. So frustrating. It's already hard enough to get in a workout mood and then once you start playing the videos they start playing slower and stopping in the middle of the workout. It doesn't happen when using my laptop to play same videos but it's a bummer not being able to play the videos in the app so I can screencast to my TV or play when travelling.There are many other great workouts apps out there so unfortunately I'll be switching.
The app is not working at all for me. I try to sign in and it just keeps going in circles asking for my login and password hut not actually letting me in.
I really enjoy the workouts but find the app itself challenging. It often doesn't open up workouts for me or freezes in the middle. It is also kinda slow to open work outs. I wish you could filter your search for workouts more specifically too. But I do love the workouts, the equipment, and the instructors!
I love the exercises, however, when I try to cast the exercises to my smart TV (I use Samsung's new models) the videos fail to play. And when it does play, it stops midway and I have to restart the whole workout. I end up spending more time getting this to work than exercising and it's exhausting and disappointing because I really want to see the workout on my TV not my small phone screen.
I posted a review and now I don't see it. This app is terrible. It crashes constantly even after the update. It just crashed in the middle of my workout and I've been trying to get it back for the past 23 minutes! Pretty frustrating when you pay 20$ a month for an app that's useless. You cannot pause the workout or you have to start all over again.
Workouts and variety are good. App functionality can be hit or miss (but seems to be improving). Naming conventions are TERRIBLE, and make it really, really difficult to find a specific workout.
The app crashed whenever I want to pause,rewind or fast forward. Really annoying!!! I have to leave the workout, shut down the page and then, goback to the menu, select Series, find the serie I was using to work out an then select it.
Its a nice app with great workouts but it would be extremely awesome if i didn't have to do my fitness plan with reminder every time I try to do a work out and have a reminder set up. It resets it every time so the app needs to actually save and hold on to all the data.
The workout itself is amazing. But the app is not as amazing as the workout. I'm using version 3.0. 5 and it won't allow me to go foward or rewind. Also the app just keep crashing. This is a paid app, guys you could do better!!!
It used to work quite well but has been giving issues since the last update. If more than one Exercise is done in a day, the app fails to recognise it the next day. Videos can't be paused etc. Without crashing
I have now purchased the ankle weights, the heavy and light ankle bands, and the pball for both my home and cottage gyms. I enjoy the workouts and I like the range of options to avoid boredom. I came back to this app after it looks like they fixed the loading and crashing issues. MUCH more functional and smooth now. Thankyou! Just wish the recipes were still on the app
Cannot open the app. It keeps closing in on me. Very frustrating to set time to workout and needing to pivot, as the app is just refusing to work. Please fix it!!!!!!!!
So the phone locks itself automatically when a video is playing. I've never come across an app where I'm forced to adjust my phone settings to never lock unless I lock it manually. Far out. Chrome cast compatibility would be appreciated also.
Great app & workout videos! Been a p.volver for 3 years now. App definitely did have issues, couldn't open it at all. Uninstalled & reinstalled & that solved the issue. Hope this helps!
Horrible!!! I cannot pause my wireless earphones! I tried to stream videos through the website, but I kept getting directed to this app! Please fix and improve app.
SO EXPENSIVE! First their exercise equiptment is hella expensive (and they make sure their exercise equiplment is so different you cant get it from anyone else) then on top of that their crappy, glitchy app is hella expensive too! Dang the app is already trash but to put money on top of that is disgusting. It's all just money to some people and it shows
I used this app last year and it worked perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy S10e. Now, whenever I open it, it immediately crashes.
Love Pvolve, the app isn't great UX. There's two mindfulness and meditation slides with duplicate sessions and no particular order. Why? Also, its super annoying entering a series and having all my previous workouts erased. On that note, I can't view my workout history in order at the top from each week let alone record my workout progress
