Lacking features/ layout

One of the benefits of the play book app was that you could see the entire workout and tap the checkmark as you completed an exercise. Here you can only view the entire workout before you hit start workout and then to check mark an exercise you have to tap for each set. I think this app could be fine, just needs some general layout changes.

They need to go back

Genuinely the old app was perfect. This new version is littered with issues and the overall interface is extremely messy. They keep saying that there will be an update but I've honestly lowered my use of the app and workouts unfortunately because it is really that difficult. Please return to uploading on playbook!

Slow! Kunky!

Get ready to have your work out SLOW Down..

Every exercise must be individually viewed by hitting a very slow reacting arrow.

-No way to see the full workout and what has been completed / pending completion like the old app. So you have to scroll through each exercise one by one by one by one.

- Ever set required a weight to be entered before you are able to mark it as completed. You can select the “reps only” setting but it is only chosen for that specific exercise. As soon as you live to the next exercise, get ready to re-elect “reps only” or manually enter a number every single time…

- The quality of videos is so poor compared to the previous app.

Great app but

Not having a way to download the workouts with videos and with everything staying in the app is inconvenient. Other than that the workouts are great if you can keep up within the 7 day time limit before they disappear.

Glitchy

Love the app! Wouldn’t change a thing about it!
But it does get glitchy at times. A bit slow to load or move to the next work out, but other then that it’s a great platform.

Downgrade from Playbook in literally every way.

Awful. No overview page. Extremely slow scrolling between exercises - like 3-4 seconds until the next one loads. Can’t check off sets unless you add fill out the weight. Timer doesn’t work. I’ve been a subscriber for 3 years. I’ll give it a month to improve before I cancel my subscription and find something else.

Great content, but clunky app

I love these workouts, but the app is clunky and slow. I liked that Playbook allowed you to see all exercises during your workout so you could easily jump around if the equipment was taken. This app is slow to respond when clicking between exercises and entering data - especially in the notes section. I really hope developers can get us a summary view again. It’s taking me twice as long to complete these workouts simply due to the slow app responsiveness and difficulty navigating between exercises. But Julian is great and I still enjoy the daily workouts.

I recomand this app to everyone is amazing is very explicit. Videos and what I like on his exercise is the technique. Congratulation

Great workout, poopoo app

This app isn’t nearly on the same level as The Playbook. Its clunky, doesn’t function nearly as smoothly and is terrible at tracking previous workouts

Needs improvement.

Not as good as the Playbook app. Needs an option to keep the iPhone awake while using.
