Which coaching platform has a client app?

What we judged it on

These criteria are about your situation, not about product quality. If you disagree with them, the recommendation below does not apply to you, and you should stop reading here rather than trusting it.

1. Clients engage on a phone, not a laptop
2. Notifications that drive check-ins
3. Something clients will actually open twice

Where this pick falls down

An app does not create adherence. If clients are not engaged in the room, they will not engage on a phone.
