Nudge for clients 4+

I love the idea of this app. I also love how simple it is to use as a client and trainer. There are a few things I don’t like though. The biggest and easiest thing to fix is having the option in the Coaching nudge app to be able to make each daily ‘card’ have an option to send clients a push notification at a certain time. Otherwise clients forget to look at the app altogether and have a harder time to stay on track. As of right now, I only see the option to make a push notification through a private message. The other thing I’d like to see, but understand why it’s harder, is the option for clients to upload a video of themselves doing an exercise. For example, if I ran a push up or plank challenge, I have no way of knowing for sure if anyone has actually done the exercise. I know this would mean the nudge creators would need to do a lot of extra coding and need a ton of server space, so that’s probably not going to happen. I would mostly like to see a push notification option for programmed cards, and maybe a few more personalization options. Maybe set themes or something? This is definitely a good idea of an app, I’d just like to see a little more.

I got this app because it was going to be used in a six week fitness challenge I had joined. That ended up not happening, but for a couple of weeks I tried to use the app anyway.

On the plus side, it is reliable, everything I entered was recorded accurately. It synced with my Fitbit Flex 2 just fine. Technically, the app seems solid and stable, and does what it is supposed to.

On the con side… I didn't find it very useful as a way of tracking activity, nutrition, etc. Maybe it's too "big picture" for me. I am used to using apps that record more detail and provide graphs of consistency and progress.

The message boards or groups are a real weak point, and I wouldn't bother with them. They are not very active, and not well-designed. You can post a message easily enough, and you can respond to other people. They do work. But if someone responds to your message, you don't get any kind of notification. What that means is that you have to go back and check any messages you have posted to see if anyone has said anything back to you. Not useful. Also, the Tech message board doesn't appear to be monitored by the developer. Questions there are not answered, unless it is by other users.

The app is worth a try. It might suit you better than it suited me. I wasn't impressed.

The new update isn’t allowing me to save my workouts completely. It’ll only let me put in certain things but won’t let me edit it. Also, when putting in times for workouts, it glitches in the middle and resets the time.
