Crashes all the time
I’ve been trying to find a good app so I don’t have to use paper and pen to track my workouts. I paid for this oneas it had an app for my computer and for the iPhone. I want to be able to sync between my workouts between the iPhone and my Mac I thought it would be easier to create and edit my own workouts on the Mac and have it sync to the iPhone and vis versa. I find creating my own workouts is very time consuming on the iPhone. I would then use the iPhone during the workout to follow the plan and see the reps and weight. The app should have a timer to track the rest time between reps and the ability to make notes make notes. I then would go back to the Mac and review the workout and tweek the workout(s). Pretty simple.
Pros:
- creating an exercise is easy. Also it allows you to enter information like muscle group, equipment, complexity and parameters. I like this ability especially the parameters. To many apps have parameters like weight when you’re trying to record duration like for planks. This app has the right parameters for the exercises that comes with the app. Again most of the apps I’ve downloaded have reps and weight as parameters to enter when weight doesn’t apply to the exercise.
Cons:
- no search function for exercises. You need to manually search each of the categories to find the exercise and sometimes they are not named the same as you are used to so the search can take allot of time.
- crashes when I try to download information from the “Cloud” synced from my iPhone.
- When I use this app to “record” an exercise I get the “spinning wheel” icon and I need to force quit the program.
- After selecting my exercises for the “day” I can’t sequence them they way I want. I can do it on the iPhone but when I sync the Mac with the iPhone info it doesn’t update the Mac.
- there isn’t anywhere I can find help for app. I click the Fitness Trainer Help option under Help but where it takes you there isn’t any help I can find.
I’m sure there’s more I could write even some Pros but I just downloaded it the same day I wrote this.
It sad when a freee iPhone app, Jefit, is better then a paid app.
