Ratings and reviews

App has potential but has some bugs. 1. My weights were set at metric and couldn't change them on my phone app. Had to log in on PC to do this. 2. Once I changed them my program didnt pick up the changes. 3. Removed program and tried to add it back but couldn't choose the same dates as they were available on the drop down calendar. Logout/logging and uninstall/ reinstall did not fix. Limited to use pc.

Loved this app when I had it a few years ago. There were programs to follow, and once I found what worked for me I could build my own program, and I loved that it was geared toward powerlifting. Now that I'm picking back up on powerlifting, I go to download the app, and now you need a coach in order to use it :( back to Google Sheets I guess.

This review is comparative, the app itself works ok and has some good features. However it is clunky to use and so e simple things are far more difficult than many other workout apps on the market. In 2015 this would have been tops, but in. 2023 most other top workout apps have an interface that is more streamlined, that incorporate rest timers, but the trainer suggest exercises for swapping, make feedback and communication much easier. This feels ad hocked in a way.
