Centr is under fire after it became unusable for some subscribers just weeks after it laid off many of its Australian staff.

While the exact number of impacted workers wasn't announced, it is understood about 20 staff, including those in the engineering and product departments, were cut by the company.Hemsworth no longer owns the app, having sold it last year.

Shortly after those Australian workers were let go, subscribers began complaining about the app becoming unusable, with many saying they were being continually logged out. The app's listing on the Google Play store, for example, was inundated with one- and two-star reviews as people said their subscriptions – which range in cost from $29.99 per month to $119.99 a year – had become worthless.

"Content is great, but the app just doesn't work reliably anymore. It's not little glitches either, nothing whatsoever loads. It would be frustrating in a free app, but in an expensive one it's unforgivable," one person wrote. "It was great. I really enjoyed the format and the workouts. Unfortunately, the app is completely broken. Constantly kicks me out and major sections of the app just not accessible. Someone tell Chris Hemsworth to fix his app," wrote another.
