Good for structure
It keeps you in check with a discipline to aid your recovery
Never seen this before but I personally think it’s excellent.
The videos are great so you know what you’re doing.

Good start to an app, needs work
I like the idea of this app and how it has videos you can watch of the exercises, but it still needs a lot of work. I’ve used a much better physio app before, eg Virtual Lucy. Here are some tips:
As someone doing physio, I want to be able to:
- Do my exercises just with audio cues. Right now I only hear the “start” cue, no end cue, so I don’t know when to stop a rep. I can’t stare at the phone during all my exercises.
- Hear audio cues for counting reps. Some exercises just say “do 10 reps” without a timer/beep. One solution with the Virtual Lucy app is to allow the user to time themself doing one rep, and then repeat that timer/beep 10 times so the user doesn’t have to count the reps themselves, they can just focus on doing the exercise correctly.
- Skim through the video to the part I want to rewatch. Not just pause/play.
- Skip exercises that are painful. Right now, you have to play through all exercises.
- Pause and rewind the exercises. Sometimes I need to pause the timer because eg I have to get the door. Sometimes I want to redo an exercise because I realized midway I was doing it wrong.

App bugs
This app would be great if it worked. Since last update twice it won’t run my workout so not recorded
Half-baked app
Review is just about the app itself - I’m using it as part of in-person physio and generally it’s a good companion, possibly even replacement for some people.
But app itself feels half baked. Exercise has some sound notifications, which might be helpful if we can’t look at screen, but it’s not synced with reps and breaks. App allows you to fill the checking review form… but doesn’t allow you to send it 🤦♂️ Articles are nice, but it would be good to have some indicators which has been read. The list goes on, they really should hire someone from UX design, or at least test their own app.

Basic
Better free apps with similar exercises and the Physio check-in function does gets stuck on “Do you have additional comments” you cannot advance so a lack of basic software testing or it’s intended to stop feedback being required so management can just say users are not proving feedback.
