Great app but needs adjustments
Great app, I did prefer the CBUM app for ease of use, although I can see that this new improved app will be good.
I just wish you were able to skip exercises and come back to them later for when the gym is busy and the equipment i need at times is in use already.mitchxmass
Good app and programs, terrible execution.
I’ve been using the CBUM app for a year now, and already wasn’t a huge fan of the apps performance. At least once a workout the app would crash, and I would have to resume the workout. But at the very least it saved my progress (sets, reps, load). Since it updated to STNDRD, I have consistently had worse performance than ever before with CBUM. The timer does not run if you are not in the app. If it crashes (once again once a workout), it does not save your progress and you have to scroll through every exercise that you’ve already completed to pick back up where you left off. Furthermore, as soon as I finish my workout, it wipes all the information from my entire lift. Does not save sets, reps, weight, anything. The programs and individual workouts are decent quality, with workouts and programs built in with phases as well as beginner intermediate and advanced designations. But if you’re looking for something to replace your lift journal or your rest timer, this isn’t it. Fix the timer and the progress and it’s an easy 5 stars, but as it stands, for what I need the app for, it falls terribly short.
For $120 a year (1/3 the cost of a year’s membership to my gym) you’d expect something a bit more polished. I feel bad paying $50.Show lessWho cares 69420
App update
The new Stndrd sucks! Worst rebrand in historyApp review999
This app wishes it set the Stndrd
Mind you this is a $15/month subscription. I’ve completed 500+ workouts on the old cbum fitness apps. All my data history of notes and rep ranges in the app is gone. I couldn’t even manually archive anything the day before.
Now, I cannot record my weight and rep range in a quad set without the app resetting every exercise to the most recent input. Why are we even doing quad sets?? I’m not trying to look like the gym clown hoarding half the equipment. We don’t need to label quad workouts as ‘lower anterior’ day, as if we’re getting a PhD in gym machine hoarding. To make things worse, there are so many tiny buttons you HAVE to click through to see what tri or quad set you’re doing next in the gym to make you look stupid or lost as an experienced gym bro. This is marketed to be the programming cbum uses, but the Road to Olympia program has heavy barbell back squats and if you know Chris, you’d know he would never do this in prep. Not to mention all programs are much shorter than the old update and feel unfinished.Show lessCradwithnumber

Whoever thought this new version of the app was a good idea needs to be fired.H.Ramsden
Prefer the original Cbum app.
This update is cumbersome.Kegger07
Massive Downgrade
The app just randomly changed one night, changed name, changed look, changed into an absolute travesty. While the old version (Bum) certainly wasn’t a perfect app, the workouts were fantastic. Nothing else was all that great, but who cares? I used the app for the workouts, I didn’t need it for anything else. Now it feels like it’s abandoned its soul and purpose for low quality showmanship. It is nothing more than lipstick on a pig. The great workouts have disappeared for a confusing and inscrutable mess of workouts with absolutely no explanation. Why is it having me do a tri set with back to back skull crushers? It’s completely asinine. How do I record a workout? Is it this button or that? It just feels like ten people were in a room all shouting out ideas and no one denied a single one. It’s made this into an absolute mess. While this used to be an inspiration, making bodybuilding fun, now it has sucked everything out of the experience. It’s an impenetrable mess. There was no warning this terrible downgrade would be coming. No word about how to use the new changes. Stay away from this app. Find something better. I’m going to try. It’s not going to be difficult.Show lessDaNorman
The Update that Ruined Everything
The app requires or at least implies that you have to log everything. You can’t leave the app running in the background or else it will act like your resting and workout timers haven’t moved. Workout splits are more restricted when we used to have options like shoulder & arm, chest & back, and leg day, and it requests that you do push/pull, bro split, or straight up Olympia training. It also only wants you to hit 1 leg day weekly, so if you’re trying to focus lower body and your gym bro already hates doing legs, good luck. Rather than prioritizing getting you straight into a workout, it immediately tries to get you to weigh yourself in and track calories. Was a really big fan of the CBUM app itself, but this partnership is straight dookie and feels like it’s gone completely backwards.Show lessHennyways
Confusing app
I liked the old one as it was user friendly and easy to navigate. I lost all my information when they took over.ChuffChuffMahone
Butchered it
Used to be a 5 star. I don’t think with the new update they actually tested it in the real world. I am cancelling if not improved in a week.Pgvlr
