Our Review Standard

Apps should be judged by what happens when you actually train.

What matters depends on what we're evaluating. When relevant, we look at workout logging, planning, progress, usability, training breadth, privacy and data, connectivity, wearables, programs, value, and anything else that materially affects the answer. Those are considerations, not a fixed scorecard. The question determines what matters most.
