Ratings and reviews

Horrible since update. Previous version was decent, I used it all the time to track workouts, weight increases, height of cable (hi/lo), etc. With update I lost all my previous workout data, new app is super slow with a slow transition image with every click. Not intuitive at all, doesn't always save in the log, very cumbersome and clunky.

It has a flatter look than the previous version and not as intuitive. I've seen reviews saying that you have to add your gym model each time, but it seems to default to mine for me. Previous version had a lot more equipment. I wondered if you could add custom workouts, I thought it wasn't working until I figured out that you have to drag on the right side of the list to select the exercises I needed. Workout history has the word "Querterly" and the title screen had "Strenght" until I updated.

This app is pretty basic. The graphics and descriptions are pretty generic. The workout tracker is pretty good - better than a notebook and pen (LOL) but there is no integration with other apps like myfitnesspal etc. Biggest head smack problem is that you must choose your machine model from the menu everytime you open the app. Finally, in this day and age it would be nice if the models were not white. I'm Asian and I'm sure I'm not the only non white person to own this app. But whatever...
