100 Pushups Trainer: PushApe, an iPhone push-up counter and coach, is listed as free on both the Canadian and US App Store pages on October 28, 2026. The Hong Kong site New Mobile Life reports that the app normally costs US $0.99 and that the free price is a limited time offer.
The app is made by Alex Wennekes, who is listed as the seller, and it sits in the Health & Fitness category. It is iPhone only, takes up 3.1 MB, is available in English and needs iOS 17.0 or later.
How much does it cost in Canada and the US?
The App Store listing shows the app at no cost in both countries, with no in-app purchases listed. The regular price comes only from the tip article, so treat it as reported rather than confirmed by Apple.
- Canada: free on the Canadian App Store listing. No regular Canadian price is given in the sources.
- United States: free on the US listing, against a regular price of US $0.99 according to New Mobile Life.
- End date: not stated by the developer or the tip site, so the price can change at any time.
These are the prices at the time of writing. If the button on your screen shows a price instead of Get, the offer has ended.
How do you get it?
Open the official App Store listing on an iPhone running iOS 17.0 or later and search for “100 Pushups Trainer: PushApe”. Tap Get, confirm with your Apple Account as usual, and check that the label says free before you do. The developer says there is no account to create inside the app, no subscription and no ads.
How does it count your push-ups?
PushApe counts reps with the Face ID camera. You lay the phone flat on the floor and put your face over it, and the camera measures the distance to your face 60 times a second. It counts each rep on the way up and calibrates to your own depth after two slow reps. According to the developer, nothing is recorded and nothing leaves your phone.
Automatic counting needs an iPhone with Face ID. On other iPhones, tap counting works instead. Version 1.0.1 improved counting in dim rooms and, if the camera still cannot see you, the app asks for more light or lets you tap the screen.
What is the training plan?
The plan is three sessions a week, and the developer describes the goal as one unbroken set of 100 push-ups. The three session types are:
- Volume
- Pyramid
- Heavy
Every sixth session is a max test. If you hit your reps, the next block leans heavier. If you come up short twice, it backs off so you can recover. You can also tell the app a session felt easy or brutal and it adjusts. In the developer’s words, it is “the right sets, in the right order, for a few months”, while New Mobile Life’s headline frames the target as three months.
Version 1.0.1 also added a proper rest before your final set, which asks for as many push-ups as you can do.
What is the ape for?
Your score is the size of Kito, an ape character that does every rep with you. There are twelve stages from Macaque to Silverback, each earned with your best set. The developer says there is no XP and there are no hearts, and a chain replaces streak guilt because rest days are part of the plan.
Other features listed on the App Store page:
- Spoken rep counts and coaching
- Rest countdown in the Dynamic Island
- Lock Screen and Home Screen widget
- Optional Apple Health workout logging
- Eight places to train, day and dusk
- After the hundred: The 120, The 150 and The Double Hundred
Who it suits
Beginners training at home. The plan starts from where you are and needs no equipment, only a floor and a phone. A free app with no account is an easy way to test whether a structured plan keeps you consistent.
People who dislike subscription apps. The listing promises no account, no subscription and no ads, and the developer says the app collects no data. The App Store privacy label says the same, though Apple notes that the information has not been verified by Apple.
Lifters who already do push-ups. The max test every sixth session and the later goals, The 120, The 150 and The Double Hundred, give you targets beyond 100.
Who should wait. Anyone without Face ID gets tap counting only, and anyone on an older iPhone below iOS 17.0 cannot install it. The app is new and has too few ratings for Apple to show an overview, so there are no reader reviews to lean on yet.
What is still unknown?
The end of the free offer has not been announced, and the sources do not say whether the price will return to US $0.99 or what it would be in Canadian dollars. Nothing in the sources says how the plan performs over a full course, so treat the training claims as the developer’s own.
Before the offer ends, check the official App Store listing for the current price, and read the version history there to see what has changed since 1.0.
