I love this app but currently the rest times are off. It will say rest for 2 mins but then the countdown will start at 180 or 150 seconds. Other than that, still love the workouts!
I personnally love this app. The workouts are great and I love that I'm supporting Whitney, who I've followed for years. The only thing to consider is that the app doesn't cover lifting technique / how to safely perform the exercises. Therefore, if you're a beginner lifter, I would suggest looking them up parrallel to using the app to avoid injuries.

We’re so glad you’re enjoying the app, thank you for the five-star review!
Why can't the workout continue running in the background? When I accidentally close the app everything is gone and I have to retype every set.

Thank you for your feedback! Currently, closing the app ends an active workout, but your weight and rep entries are saved automatically as you enter them. To view your saved entries, restart your workout and tap See Full History on the active set screen! 💙
I like this app, but I would absolutely love it if I could create my own customized workout routine/program on here. Please let me know if this would be considered. Thank you!

Great layout, I like the pre-built programs and workouts, however the exercise library isn't as extensive as other apps. I would like to see an option to create my own workouts in this app

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We’re so glad you’re enjoying the app’s layout, programs, and workouts. We appreciate your suggestions for expanding the exercise library and adding the ability to create your own workouts, and we’ll be sure to share them with our team!
Edit: please put the RPE for each exercise in the actual exercise after starting the workout. At this point, I have to look through the workout before starting, write down the RPE I'm supposed to go for, and then start the workout and try to remember what I'm supposed to do.

Thank you for taking the time to share this! We can see how keeping track of your RPE targets separately adds a step. We’ve passed your suggestion along to our team to consider for future developments, and we really appreciate your insight.
I've had this app since 2024, and there was a lot of issues back then that they have slowly fixed over the years. I can say that it works a lot better now. Still a filthy android user, but they have improved the app that I'm not seeing the same glitches as before. I'm also happy that this have added a transition timer between the warmup and cool down sets to help get into the new position needed. I'm glad to see the improvements, and I will keep using the app in my gym journey

Vanessa, we’re honored to have you as part of the Alive community! Thank you for taking the time to update your review and share how your experience has improved. We’re always working to make Alive the best it can be, and it’s wonderful to hear that you’re loving the new Get Ready timer feature.
I love this app! It's hard to find good strength training workouts for women but this one takes the cake. My only complaints are that it isn't compatible with the Galaxy Watch and I wish you could add/remove exercises from the workout to better keep track of what you actually do. But otherwise, highly recommend!

I re-downloaded and signed up for this app to try Jessica's program. I really like the program but there are still logging issues for android. It will save my reps and weight for my first set but won't save for my other sets. Super disappointing and frustrating when I'm paying to use this program.

“The app doesnt appear to support the Samsung watch and the app is quite glitchy on my new phone.”
“What am I spending my money on if I can't use it?!”
“I still can't access my workout section, I also can't delete my account because it just won't recognise that I have tapped on the cancel button and it times …”
“However the app is incredibly buggy, basically unusable since the last update.”
“There are some workouts where the rests are in the wrong place, hitting the next or start button won't register, or it needs to be force closed.”
“If the usability gets solved I would try again in the future, but I can't justify paying for something that is so difficult to use.”

“Also, I would like the challenge that I am currently working on to be on the first on the challenges list.”
“It would be nice to hear the countdown out loud cos I also listen to some music over it.”
“So simple and easy to use.”
A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
