I preferred the set up of the old app. It was easier to navigate and I could see everything for the workout on one screen. The app doesn't run smoothly either. There are a lot of error screens that pop up.

No lifetime access to the training like the previous app. I paid full price for the original app and now its just deprecated and doesn't work. Replaced with this new "pro subscription" app.

Hey Andrew, there is a lifetime access option in the app, if you email me via the support channel I'll guide you on how to find it. I appreciate your opinion, but this is an all-new app that has taken a lot of time and money to build and develop, so unfortunately we can't just give it away for free.

Long time fan of the Original Starting Strength app. I can't recommend it enough. But this 2.0 version, is complete trash and 5X more expensive than the OG app. For the same features, with a much worse interface. OG app only needed slightly more customizable features. Like the ability to add the starting strength accessories like rack pulls, halting deadlifts, etc, for intermediate to advanced trainees. That was all that was needed. DO NOT waste any money on the 2.0 app! Get the OG app now!

Hey Julien, thanks for your review. Yeah the old app was pretty good unfortunately the codebase was over 10 years old and it was taking us months to push out 1 single update. The new app is really streamlined and we are already have features above and beyond the old app, for example what you mentioned about custom exercises we already have.
