No working

Worked perfectly before but. It anymore, any training you create/import will be hanging 55 second, don’t loose your money

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that you had a bad experience. I’ve already fixed the issue and shipped the update, which will be published ASAP in version 4.1.5. By the way, you can always reach out directly and get help even faster :)

Bugs!

Wow! Could you possibly have messed up more? The newest updates are still in German, the rests occur before the exercises, and the rests can only be programmed in 5 second intervals (ie a 7s/3s repeater can't be programmed). The original version was much better. Back to the drawing board!

Kinda clunky, but helpful

Well thought out for training, but I wish it had an update, where you could view the full workout during the workout.

Amazing workout time and beginner session for my Metolius Simulator 3D

This is an absolutely fantastic app for an engaging workout with voice prompts and a time that’s very customizable!

Can't download plans and no email support

I just downloaded the app and think the custom planning is nice... but playing with the app, it seems I am unable to download any online plans. This was after I had to create a new account with a different email since I could not resend the verification email to the first email address I would have liked to use.

My main gripe is that the plan download does not seem to work at all.

In dire need of an update

There are a few free apps that offer the same functionality of this one, without the bugs.

Protocols are a but clunky to modify, and currently the way to set a hold for an exercise has no visible reference to your selected board.

Board selection is also broken, and the options for mainstream board are outdated.

The main functionality of using the timer and cycling between exercises, adding rests, adding many duplicate hangs works well, but lots of free apps have similar functionality.

I’m sure there’s a few other things that need work, but bottom line: it’s been 3 years since an update, and this is still an excellent tool that could have more users if it gets a bit of maintenance.

Solid Hangover

I probably shouldn’t be able to write a review because I’ve made three workouts and really only ever do one. That one workout is just ten exercises and takes about ten minutes. Thing is with hangs, pull-ups and leg lifts it’s super concentrated—a little habanero sess. And because it’s not overwhelming I don’t have an excuse. So I’ve been using the app for a few years now and it’s been super helpful. Love that I can get super serious and make a big session or just do what I do now and if I’m fit I’ll knock down two or three of my minis.

Very good hang board selection

Good hang board app

Do not download spam

I downloaded this app and did not sign up to subscription. I found no way yet to contact developer and have reported problem through apple. Please unsubscribe me and return my money.

Not working, can’t select different boards

No matter how many times I try to change boards, stays stick on default metolius board

Very nice

Simple, easy to use, it might be nice to add an other type of hanging called NO-HANG with a body weight percentage attached (40-60-80%).

so limited

can’t add weight? lame!

Disappointing

1. While I can select my hang board on the app the preprogrammed exercises don’t relate to it (exercise instructs more holds than board has). 2. Awkward to navigate. Selecting a work out is not intuitive. 3. Doesn’t give an indication of overall exercise duration. 4. Unable to check where you’re at in the exercise without jumping forwards.

Bit confusing to use

Not the most user friendly but if you click around you’ll figure out how to use it

Not satisfied with this app, waste of money

I bought this app since I have a metolius wood grip compact II hangboard and the description of this app said, it would have integrated programs for that board.
Well it does BUT: there is a small choice of workouts : only 4 to be exact. One entry level, finger strength, 6c and 7c pyramid training. That’s all.
And even these training programmes are not adapted to the board (you set the type of the board you have in the beginning). They show hold numbers (13, 14, 15 for example) that don’t exist on my board. It is also uneasy to handle since you have to first “launch” the program you want, go back to the main menu and then press start training, instead of directly staring the program you are in.
Of course, if you are advanced enough and you know the training plan you need, you can happily design it yourself but if you are a beginner, you have no idea about what is important for you and what could be dangerous etc…
It sets you a reminder for a next training and the voice counting down is agreable. That’s the only positive points I can name.

I really like this app and how you can customize your own routine. Plus your can share it with your friends.

Not User Friendly

This app isn’t user friendly at all. Switching between boards is impossible. And the preset workouts for each board seem random and aren’t geared correctly towards the skill level it’s labeled as.

Amazing!

Epic!

Awesome!

Love it!

The voice countdown is broken.

I’ve used this app for a few years and I loved it for its convenience as a timer for my hangboarding workouts. However, it recently developed a problem where the voice countdown isn’t working properly. The timer stutters whenever the app talks, so instead of a precise 5 second countdown, it takes anywhere from 6.5-8 seconds to countdown “5” seconds. I love this app, but this problem makes it unusable.
