Ok protocol, incomplete app
There are so many bugs that this program would be better implemented with a paper, pencil, and stopwatch.
Video playback and the automatic timer get out of sync, timer widget is unruly and loud, and the assessment tool doesn’t allow you to simply view all your data—instead it relies on flashy and oversimplified data visualizations to add perceived value.
As for the programming (and I am only reviewing the weightlifting mobility program), the movements are theoretically great, but have simply not led to any progress in my 3 weeks of trying the program. To be fair, I have missed some days, but am consistent enough that at least some measurable progress should be apparent. On the contrary: I have lost mobility since starting. This is partly due to measurement reliability; I likely have not gained or lost a measurable amount of mobility.
I continue to use the program, however, because I do *feel* great after doing the daily movements. It has introduced a lot of new stretches and warm-up movements into my vocabulary, while allowing me to avoid the endlessly complex shotgun approach that comes from cherry picking ideas from the internet.
This product would be ideal as a book rather than as an app. Apps should add value that traditionally resources cannot.
