Flawed app

The workouts are mostly good. I use this app because I like having someone to tell me to mix up my split and occasionally I'll get a good suggestion on an exercise. However, the app is very buggy. If you have to do workouts out of order, it's very slow. If you have to change based on lack of a machine don't choose an exercise next to another one otherwise it copies it and you lose an exercise. It sometimes fails to let you upload to the calendar. I've submitted multiple support request and it doesn't seem to get better.

Needs more workouts

I wish you could display more than just 7 workouts. It would be nice to have the 2-3 week supply, and also be able to favorite (and return to) workouts I enjoyed.
Also, flipping between exercises is clunky- the app doesn't move fast, as it seems it's calling and API Everytime you click vs. Downloading local on the device.

Still buggy

This app is still buggy. It was working fine for a while but it seems every time I open it the app has trouble loading the workouts for the week so I can’t use the app right now. Also, the timer needs some sort of volume adjustment. It’s entirely too loud. I understand the 3 second pre-timer for failure workouts but it sort of defeats the purpose for timing your rests. It’s alright. Preferred the older app.

Hi there. Thanks for reaching out and that definitely does not sound like it should be happening. Please reach out to dailypump@trainmakr.com and they can take a look at your account. Thank you.

Best training app out there

The workouts push your hard but they are never boring. Just different exercises I wouldn’t normally think of adding myself to my training. Always come back to Daily Pump app when I start loosing my motivation for gym.

Love Julian and this App

Apps great for being brand new a couple quarks. I wish the timer was the old way. Other than that pumped to see him get his own app so he makes that money. I have to be honest I was stuck on the old app for 2 weeks too long and was like why aren’t these lifts changing?? 😬🤣🤣

Could use to be a little more mobile

The app gets stuck on pages or trying to back out looking into something. I feel like I get brought to the home page which I wish was more just fitness oriented vs just todays pump and sometimes I find back out of something is easier just to close and re open app.

Old App Ran Better

Too many bugs. Its a pain to use the timer compared to the old app. Pulling up previous sets from other workouts only works some of the time; other wise sends you to random workouts or exercises. Not being able to easily skip around exercise order is also annoying. At a busy, you cant always workout in the order as prescribed. Also takes FOREVER to load videos and exercises.

Hi there, thanks so much for your feedback. We have had a release for the timer for improvements since the launch of the app and we hope that helps improve your experience. Please feel free to view the whole workout on the main home page and navigate the gym as needed and you can always mark the workouts completed once you're done with the workout. We hope this helps, but if you have any questions or need any assistance, we'd love to help you out at dailypump@trainmakr.com. Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you.

It’s Nice but Still Not as Good as the old App

I’m all for change but good change. You have provided me with life changing workouts and I have been at this since I was 16 and I’m nearly 55 now. I love how you include substitutions in case I don’t have the necessary equipment or machines and it looks very nice but is there a way where if I don’t want to add what weight I do and only reps it a setting that keeps it there. I hate having to change it every single exercise unless it’s a body weight such as an ab routine. That’s my biggest complaint right now. I can do without the comments and music from the old app unless it’s a playlist you share with us and I’ve liked that in the past. You continue to grind and always improve. Not going anywhere as I live your workouts, supplants and apparel and my physique has changed so much the last 7 years, it looks like yours now and there’s a reason for that. Again, please make adding the weight optional and an option to remove it entirely and not exercise by exercise. Other than that, thank you so much!

If it ain’t broke…

The app is hard to use/navigate and the timer is awful. You can’t start the timer like on playbook and navigate through the exercises or even leave the app, the timer either resets or doesn’t notify you of the app isn’t open! Hopefully goes back to playbook as that was very smooth and easy to use without having to add a weight to be able to tick off the exercises.

Daily Pump

Definitely not as easy to navigate as Playbook and really wish they wouldn’t have pulled the feature of being able to download workouts for later use, or just to save in general.

Been a supporter the Pump since 2017, but not looking forward to the transition to the new app once my previous saved workouts are completed on Playbook.
