Great content, horrible app. The workouts are awesome. But the app is constantly glitching out. If youre in a workout and switch from it to another app, then back, it won't let you move forward. You'll have to close out the app then reopen it, and you MIGHT be lucky and it saved your progress but probably not. It's so frustrating im about to just write the workouts down and delete the app because a word document would be easier than this.
This is the single worst app I have ever used. I already left one bad review, but somehow my opinion has dropped even lower. I have been using this app for probably 3 weeks now, having a myriad of issues. App freezes, crashes, doesn't let you advance to the next section of your workout, videos won't play, app deletes all your numbers and times. But TODAY!!! The app crashed 17 times in a 1 hour workout! 17! This app is unusable. Soflete needs to fix this immediately.
The app leader boards no longer work ie they don't organize by ranking when chosen. Also all of.my historical data of Max's and previous workouts ie last te I executed power cleans is no longer available or is all zeroed out. Love the programing, hate the app with a fiery passion. Edit: knocked down to 1 star as there still is no fix within a reasonable time..so furstrating. Tha programing is great the app is hot garbage.
Great programs been using for 3+ years. However, the app consistently quits workouts and fails to load workout history.
Great content. App is the worst. Always crashes on you during your workout. Please fix it. It has been like this since I started using it in 2017
SOFLETE is a great company ran by even greater people. The programming for the workouts is amazing and I've been a long time member. That being said, the app has some serious issues. I'm not going to beat a dead horse by quoting other comments. Hire a competent app developer..or scrap the app altogether and move your content to something web page based like Patreon or a word doc. The app is a great concept but is being executed poorly.
Let me first say the content Soflete brings is awesome. I've been training using their programs for the past several months. Ive noted a marked increase in athletic performance; I believe I have the Soflete team to thank for that. Unfortunately, the app is rough. There is little organization to the dashboard. Cycle management/selection could be better. Supplemental breaks stuff. It'd be nice to have a calendar that allows to overlay your primary and supplemental cycles. Pls keep improving!
This review is just for the app. It crashes a lot, especially when internet connection is lost. Additionally, they should make the programs downloadable so that losing all the workout's info doesn't happen when it does crash. Once there's an internet connection, it can sync. Then in the workout itself, there's no way to preview or check what's coming up, so if you're crunched for time you can't adapt the workout to fit a timeline. Needs better usability.
I appreciate the videos but the app itself is not well developed. It contradicts itself, the same step will tell you to do one set and three sets. It allows you to input reps / weight on some activities but not others. No embedded timer. I was excited for this but very disappointed. Ill be going back to the free / less expensive apps that offer more.
While the programming is great, the app itself sucks. Glitchy; Next and finish buttons don't always work. Timer stops working most of the times 45 min into workouts. Occasionally fails and screen goes white or an error message causes the app to stop working. Exercises on the preview don't always match the workout. Missing videos. Missing timers. Unfortunately the app seems to be a subpar afterthought. ETA: Forced update last night made the app even less usable.
Fantastic! I do NOT like paying for apps, but this one I gladly subscribed to. It is the most thorough, user-friendly, custom-fitted fitness app I've ever seen, and I've used dozens. Tons of different programs based on your goals and personalized nutrition plans to even include grocery shopping list by date! Invest in your self; Get the app!!
Alright so I left a review earlier and now on top of the app just crashing when you start the workouts for some programs, you can't even view the video for the exercise anymore. It's like the app is trying to load something off YouTube, gets confused and then loads the video made by Soflete. The programs are great but this app is incredibly buggy.
It's less of an app and more of a portal to the website, but works well and the training programs are what your really getting. The biggest issue is it doesn't force the screen to stay on and that gets annoying fast. For anyone wondering it only works with paid subscription/free trial singe up on website and then create password, I saw some reviews complaning about not being able to login in.
The workouts are decent, but the app is trash. If I could get a daily email with a workout or download a pdf, I would gladly pay. I'm uninstalling the app though.
This is the most effective training app and programming I've ever used. Tactical athlete since 2006, SOFLETE since 2015. There is something for every level and interest here. Fitness, nutrition, recovery, and shooting. Being truthful, this app is like a 4.8 star rating. It's had some past bugs like being unable to view workouts for other teams if you're part of a team. Issues with the weight/time/rep boxes not making sense for a workout. Guess what, SOFLETE fixes problems when you tell them!
Programming is great. App was clunky when I first subscribed a few months ago. Now it's impossible to use. The last 2 days I've struggled to get workouts to load up and when they do the app crashes. Really hope this gets resolved cause I'd prefer not to cancel my subscription.
The programming is awesome but the app has been crashing for me. I've Uninstaller and reinstalled still no dice. I will continue to use the programming cuz the information is the most important part at the end of the day. However, please fix the app. Also the "choose a team" option feels very watered down. Maybe create a more specific programming filter, I've found the program I wanted by reading each one myself and it wasn't based on the answers I gave. Still great material and is worthwhile
Nice the most recent update, the app is more glitchy and doesn't always save data inputs upon transitioning between workout segments. The app also has issues saving data after completing a given workout or has an extremely long update period if using both app and web based tracking: some workout still show up as incomplete or never started. Several future workouts are marked incomplete, with numerous history points, even though the workouts were never started by me. The app was better prior to
Great workouts. The app never wants to work. I've contacted help desk twice now. I usually don't review apps but this app is expensive to not work
I love the nutrition plan and the workout program. My only complaint is that the app fails during each of my workouts. Pressing next section takes 5-10 minutes to get to the next screen. On a 2 hour supplementary workout, my app failed, and my progress was wiped out. Is this a bug that everyone else is experiencing? I also have full wifi connection, if that makes any difference. 10/10 love your clothing. I have a few shirts and hats. Please look into this issue for the app.
Fantastic meal plans and workouts. Been using for over a year and can highly recommend.
Update: I canceled after over two years. I love the workouts, but the last update ruined my experience. It's pretty clear this was made for iOS. Great experience whether at a full time gym or home gym. Lots of helpful videos and great training plans.
App is great, programming is outstanding. Life-changing, and the best thing I come across to keep myself healthy and fit without injuries. Great support crew as well and some of the most professional coaches I've ever drawn knowledge from outside service.
This has been a great app for me. and for the money you pay monthly SOFLETE by far has been the best programming both for nutrition and workouts. I think the ease of use is what makes this app, not mention the ability to contact the coaches directly. name me another company who offers you everything SOFLETE does for the price.....dont worry I'll wait. Keep up the great work!
Love the workouts!App sucks can not log weights and reps but will lose it. Will log you out and not let you log back in. "Saves" workouts for offline use but can't access them. I keep my own paper log app will lose your info. Have contact technical support but no help. App is garbage. Work outs rock.
I have been using this app for a year now and I have to say that this app has almost everything your looking for. This app is specifically used for folks trying to get ready for selection, but they offer so much more. Need to get stronger, this app has you. Need to run faster, they got you there. Want to get ready for a marathon, they do that to. Want to body build. They do that to and more. These guy have helped me build a life I wanted. The app needs work but the content is gold.
Been using Soflete for almost 2 years and the newest update really has the app dialed in. Before the app would crash all the time and the layout was so so. Big upgrade. Keep rockin'.
Awesome training programs. I never have to plan my workouts anymore. I just show up to the gym and get after it! Worth the money. Also if you do have any issues, customer service is great and they always get back with me.
Same as below. The workouts are excellent, hire an app developer. The damn app crashes all the time, doesnt work offline (SOF guys should know that is REALLY important), and the website access is jacked.
Workouts are great, app is blah. Constantly refreshing or booting me out of my daily workout. Wish it would carry #s over. Would make it much easier when they prescribe percentages of past lifts to have the program show your previous logged #. Not a deal breaker, the awesome workouts are worth it but the app could be smoother.
