Reviews of Sinister Kettlebell

  • Okay, not perfect

    It has two timers and some counters, and keeps a bit of history. But it’s got a lot of holes:

    - landscape mode completely messes with the layout on my SE iphone
    - no haptics or dings or anything to let you know when 60s or 30s has passed
    - no way to distinguish 1 hand vs 2 hand swings
    - no integration with apple health or watch
    - no data export
    - no timer for the rest period between getups and swings

    It’s all so barebones that I can’t justify paying for the premium edition, which is the only way to even track weights you use.
  • Too many small annoyances

    The app is okay. I want to like it, but there are too many annoyances.

    1. Dark mode issues. There is no in-app way to change from light to dark mode, you have to go all the way to system settings. Additionally, you can’t see the weights in your history while in dark mode.

    2. Timer annoyances. I can understand the appeal to a simple timer, but sometimes I forget to click the button at the start. Would love the ability to tack on time manually to estimate stuff that I forgot to properly tracker.

    3. Weight tracking annoyances. Wish I could change the weight of lifts either during the lifting session or in the history. This is especially true when I want to try a heavier weight, but might miss it and don’t want to improperly track things.

    4. Lacking reports. Would like the reports to show my progress from S to S+ in some way. Even just an average/total weight lifted for swings/TGUs would be nice.

    Even with all these critiques, I’m gonna keep using the app because it provides some value. It just leaves quite a bit to be desired.
  • Excellent App, Almost Perfect

    This app is a wonderful way of tracking the simple S&S kettlebell routine. There are some minor issues that keep me from giving it a 5-star rating.

    - No way of differing between a 2 handed swing and a one handed swing. Not a big deal but it would be nice as the book does recommend doing 2H every few days.

    - The history & progress pages have a lot of info that isn’t mine. I’m curious if it’s just pulling from other workouts folks have done to fill in that day.

    - No way to backup the data. Such as Dropbox or other services or a local backup. Not a big deal since the main focus of the app is to track the exercise and it does that swimmingly but this would be a nice feature.

    Other than that it’s an awesome app and I hope it keeps being worked on. It’s very appreciated.

    Developer Response

    edit: the bogus data should be removed in any newly installed versions! Thanks for the feedback. I unfortunately had to rush out a release to change the name due to legal issues. I deployed a development version that had pre populated workout data. You can swipe the workouts to the left to delete them.
