New version keeps improving
The old version was pretty good and so is the new. Developer keeps updating with improvements and fixes, which is great. I'd prefer the display of the workouts to have larger fonts as they're hard to read at a glance whilst working out.
Good for original band set only
This app does the job if you’re using the original program with the original bands. The problem is, many people have since upgraded to the paraforce bands which this app does not track. Also, it does not allow stacking bands.
Tracking made easy
This is by far the easiest way and best way for me to track my days. I’d love to see the option to add the new program in, or be able to make it in the custom.
I hope they add the hypertrophy program!
App does the job but I’ve switched to the hypertrophy program so can no longer use it really.
New version has regressions
The old version was pretty good and so is the new, but the option to include pec crossover with the push day has gone, so I've had to create a custom workout to include that exercise, which means that my push day progress won't track from my old push workout. Also the display of the workouts has smaller fonts which are harder to read at a glance whilst working out.

Long overdue update
This is a nice improvement. I would give it five stars but the push day workout is missing the pec crossover. Maybe the pec crossover is no longer recommended for push day. The new changes include options use the longer bar, the squat belt and the paraforce bands with the ability to stack the bands.

Response from developer
Hello! We have added back the ability to toggle pec crossover for workouts. Please install the latest version 2.0.2, and don't hesitate to contact customer support at cs@jaquishbiomedical.com if you have any further issues!
My recommendations
I own an x3 elite, mostly because of how simple and convenient it is. I often use it with bad or no internet connection, which is why I opted out of the force bar.
With program and product updates, this app needs to be updated in tandem. Specifically the hypertrophy program. Getting those exercises on would be great. And for long bar users, force estimations would also be appreciated for the different bands. And how about layering band options if you have the paraforce bands? My last recommendation would be to include all videos in the app itself, not links to view them. I cannot access any of the existing links right now because of the internet connection issue.
I hope my recommendations are helpful, and I think there is relatively little work for the app developers to make this product a true companion for the x3 system.

Needs updated
This apps needs updates. The instructional video links don’t work. I see the X3 force is getting updates but that can’t be used unless you have that model bar. Please keep this app up to date for all the users of the traditional model. Thank you.
Needs improvement
App is ok but needs improvement, needs ability to use more than one band on exercises, needs ability to write notes on each exercise at a minimum.
Updates please
Great basic app.
Would love options to allow you to stack multiple paraforce bands and track that.
Also would like option to record long bar and squat belt. Pretty please.
