Ratings and reviews

My favorite fitness app. I love the look and functionality. You can customize your own routine easily, even in the middle of your workout. All exercises come with handy guides. Cons: When you change an exercise in the middle of a routine, it skips it and moves onto the next exercise and then comes back to it later. Minor bug and you can easily work around it, but still a bug. Most exercises have pictures showing what they are, but a few don't. I wish it had warmup and cooldown routines too.

Don't bother with any of the other RR apps... This is the best. Clear and easy to use. However it's missing a few videos as well as weighted progressions for deadlifts & squats (with a barbell). Also please check UI placement with larger fonts. I don't use my glasses in the gym, so I set the fonts & Icons to large, consequently the app gets a bit messy with text being overwritten or lost. This is a 5* app with a few niggles that lose it a star. I'll adjust to 5* when fixed.

Fantastic bodyweight app. All it needs is chart for a visual progression. But this app is so easy to use to do the routine and enter progress. There are a few nitpicks like missing exercise photos. The only bug is that occasionally the top screen goes missing, so I must exit out and go back in. But because I value form and function, these are minor gripes.
