Thanks for the feedback! Since we offer most the app for free, we have to offer a premium subscription for extras such as Apple Watch app so that we can afford to keep our engineers who are further developing this app for everyone, hopefully you understand! 🙏
Exactly what I was looking for
5 Stars!
Could be great, but you’re on your own…
The app itself is pretty great - the interface is clean & nice to use and it really encourages the community aspect. However, it sometimes lacks some intuitiveness - for instance, you can see your best with each exercise you’ve recorded inside it on the Stats tab but expanding an exercise here only shows you how your reps, weight and 1RM have increased, plus how you rank against other people on the app whom have tracked the same exercise. If you want to view the history of a particular workout, you can access this by tapping on the circle which appears around the date of each workout on the Workout tab but I only found this out by accident (after spending some time hunting for it). It’s not explained during the brief tour of the app you’re given when you first launch it.
There’s no support documentation for it - inside the app, or on the website. This has been frustrating for me because my trainer and I use progressive overload in my current routine and increase the weight of each exercise when I reach the upper-end of the reps for each exercise. While you can specify weight or reps for the auto-progression calculator, I have been able to figure out neither option as being correct for tracking this - despite trying it on both over numerous workouts. I raised this via the app’s support a couple of weeks ago, asking for it to be clarified, but no one has responded to this (as yet).
The Watch app can also be unreliable. I’ve noticed it, on multiple occasions, failing to correctly track my heart rate (displaying — instead) and the last workout the app tracked only recorded around 20 minutes, messing up the stats for the rest of the day. The app frequently breaks it’s connection with my iPhone when a workout is running (the iPhone app also has a tendency to bug out and ‘forget’ you’re recording a workout; the only saviour here being the Dynamic Island on my iPhone + the Live Activity which appears on the Lock Screen/around the Island which has returned me to the workout when this happens) returning to it’s default screen (where you’re advised to start a new workout on your phone) and the refresh button that’s there is ineffective.
I hope this will improve, in time, but it’s most disappointing that I’ve reached out to the developers via the built-in support feature with various questions and haven’t received an acknowledgement. As an IT guy, that doesn’t really look very great…

Five to three star review after the update! 🤦♂️

Hi there, you can accomplish this in the new update by creating a folder for “week 1” and another for “week 2”. You can assign each workout onto days in the week still (and in the update coming in about 2 weeks you will be able to assign multiple workouts to the same day of the week). Hope that helps!
