The best boxing apps of 2026 compared: free and paid options for video feedback, bag work, shadow boxing and home training, with what each one does and who it fits.

By Collin J. Smith7 min readUpdated:

Best overall: mmaGPT is the best boxing app for technique feedback. Upload a clip of your shadow boxing, bag work or sparring and it marks the flawed technique with video timestamps, then gives you a drill to train the habit out, in about 30 to 45 seconds. It runs in your phone's browser on iPhone and Android with no download, and your first session is free with no card needed. For guided bag workouts, Heavy Bag Pro; for a connected home setup, FightCamp.

People searching for a boxing app usually want one of three things: a workout to follow, a way to track output on the bag, or feedback on their technique. No single app does all three well. This list covers the boxing apps people actually use in 2026, what each one does, and which to pick for your situation.

Disclosure: mmaGPT is on this list because we built it.

Last updated: October 13, 2026. App Store ratings checked for every app; Kayyo removed after its relaunch as a fight-scoring app.

Best free boxing apps

If you want to pay nothing, start with a free round timer and mmaGPT's free first session. The timer keeps your rounds honest. The free session shows you the one thing in your technique to fix. Most of the other apps here are free to download, but their main features sit behind a subscription or hardware purchase. Check each app's site for its current free option before you enter a card.

Best boxing app for beginners

Beginners need two things: a simple routine to follow and someone to catch the habits that form in the first months, like a dropping rear hand or a jab that does not come back. A guided workout app like The Shadow Boxing App gives you the routine. mmaGPT reviews a clip of that routine and catches the habit. If you are just starting, read how to learn boxing at home for a four-week plan.

Best boxing app for iPhone and Android

mmaGPT runs in the browser on both iPhone and Android, and on a computer. There is no App Store or Google Play download; you open the site and can add it to your home screen. For the other apps, platforms vary: Kayyo lists an iPhone app, Heavy Bag Pro is on Google Play, and FightCamp has its own apps. Check each app's site for the devices it supports.
