I’ve been with Freeletics for 11 years. Very consistent for the last 4.
Unfortunately it doesn’t provide me with what I need and what I’m looking for anymore.
Skills are barely utilised. I can’t progress in a skill if coach is assigning it 2 or 3 times a month.
Feedback at the end of the workout is hit or miss, sometimes works, sometimes not. Usually not.
Chasing trends instead working on improving users experience and coach quality.
Too many pop-ups and ads inside the app.
Also I have noticed a lack of communication on this forum. No acknowledgments on users feedback and so on.
One day I will return to see if anything improved at all. Until then I am moving on.
Couldn’t agree more! Usually I cycle between Freeletics Journey and another app.
Seeing how silent this forum is and no communication by the devs at all this will be my last time using Freeletics for now ending in October.
I have known Freeletics since the early PDF Plans and despite a lot of things that have improved since then I feel like the app has become worse again.
Hi there. I agree with you in some aspects, but not so much in others.
The skill progression and adaptation is pointless, and I think they’ve given up on that concept. In my opinion, they should either rebuild the whole thing or remove it completely.
The feedback is hit and miss, but it’s not that bad. I’ve tried many other apps, and I’ve seen much worse. None of those apps is perfect in that regard.
This is a community forum, so the fact that there’s not much activity is mainly our fault. Of course, it would be great to see more engagement from the developers, but we don’t seem to be that eager to reply either.
I feel like they keep adding stuff, and in general I’m happy with the updates. I’m 44 and I’ve stopped chasing huge muscle growth or crazy calisthenic skills. Instead, I’m more focused on my general fitness, and Freeletics is a really good tool for that.
I can’t speak to the point about skill progression as it’s not something I focused on.
Regarding the lack of communication. I agree that this is a community forum first but if there are specific questions or suggestions about the training in the app it would be nice to get an official response.
The app definitely works for many people, otherwise the user base wouldn’t be there and I think for general fitness purposes it does a great job. On the other hand the issue with the lack of coach adjustment in the Dumbbell Journey has been there for years now.
Everyone has their own needs and no app will ever meet all of them. But I think leaving valid criticism here gives the FL team a chance to adjust and see why people might be leaving.
Don’t get me wrong, Freeletics is a great fitness tool. And if it suits your goals that’s perfect.
I just don’t feel like this app has evolved in the right direction. As the time went on, my experience hasn’t improve. My progression has staled, sense of structure wasn’t there. Almost like coach has given up on me in a way
And look, if I have the time and will to program my own trainings and create them to have a structure, to track my progress, to adapt and so on, I wouldn’t use the app. I would just do it myself.
