I'm a 36 year old woman with 50-70lbs to lose. My car recently broke down and I can't get to the gym. What fitness apps do you find give you a good workout? What makes it a good app?

This. It really depends on what you like to do for a workout. There's thousands of apps catered to different styles of exercise, so the more detailed you can be the better fit of an app you'll find!0 -
As you stated the goal of losing 70 lbs I would gently remind that weight loss is 20% your activity ovel and 80% what goes in your mouth.
Absolutely work out (for other reasons) ... but if the overall goal is weight loss, be strict about your food consumption.

I am aware of the eating part. I guess I wasnt clear. I lost over 120lbs thus far, so the type of fitness I'm looking for is toning and overall full body workouts. There are tons of apps, so I struggle to choose one.2

Congrats on your loss so far! I would encourage you to do some strength training. I lost 150 and did strength training from day 1. It really helped me be in a better place when I got to goal and I've continued 2+ years of maintenance. Here's a link to a thread with resources. Some of them have apps, but personally I don't find an app necessary.

Stronglifts has an app you could use. Muscleandstrength.com has a ton of workout plans, I don't think there is an app.0 -

My bad for missunderstanding.0 -
I was using stronglifts, but have switched to jetfit as I added a couple of exercises and plan to add some more. But I used the stronglifts apps for ~ a year.0
