Overall a good app

The UI is greatly improved over how it used to be. I guess I have two complaints. When viewing an instructor’s comment it’s hard to tell what workout the comment refers to much less particular exercise. It would be nice if the comment pop up had the workout title and a way to tag the particular exercise.
The other issue I have I think impacts motivation quite a bit: The “streak” feature doesn’t count you having completed a workout unless you fill it in that day. It doesn’t just check back to see how many you completed in a row - you have to have filled it in that day. Just because a person records a workout the following day does not mean they didn’t complete the workout the day of. I assume many people squeeze in a workout before work then have to rush back and the day gets away from them. Their next opportunity to fill it in maybe at breakfast the next day. The streaks feature should count workouts completed not by when you recorded it.

Nice new visual, tough to see exercise history

Love the new visuals that just came out and the swipe ability across exercises during a workout. However now when looking at exercise history you can’t see the past exercises via search, instead it defaults to search by number of rounds and you have to scroll to find the specific exercise. I have a lot of assigned workouts with “5 rounds” and that makes it hard to look at the previous week easily for a specific exercise.

Please bring back search function, or even better, make it possible to search by individual exercise terms by default

Developer Response ,

The search function is coming in an update very soon.

Good concept, horrible execution

This app has a lot of potential but is absolutely flooded with bugs and glitches. Almost to the point of it being unusable. From setting up clients, creating lifestyle prescriptions, updating programs and adding to programs, it’s utterly riddled with bugs. It’s to the extent that my clients are flooded with complaints and rightfully so. What I’ve had to carefully measure is the potential utility of the program worth all the bugs and inadequacies that is dealt with daily. It certainly deteriorates the quality of the program on the clients end as often their data disappears, my video links don’t work, or the information fails to save to name a few. I’m not quick to leave reviews but having suffered and held on for this long and still have yet to see much improvement I felt compelled in this instance to. They advertise as by “coaches for coaches” and that seems true because the potential is sky high but I wish there were was more people involved with programming competence because the app in its current state is nearly rendered unusable. In our industry our quality of service is required to be sky high but the app is falling dismally short of that.
