### 5/5 — Please don’t retire

*2023-06-16*

Please don’t retire this app. Yes it may have a few bugs here and there, but the simplicity alone is worth it. Compared to other apps this is still in my top 2 apps I use on a regular basis. I don’t use it to connect to anything nor do I need to. I enjoy logging my information the old school way. Obviously not everyone likes that, and that’s understandable. I have learned that there is a balance to an app being great and not. Sometimes to much is just to much. This one is still great. Please keep it alive.

### 4/5 — Almost great

*2022-12-28, version 2.2.0*

This app is very useful when I workout.  However, the app crashes everytime I get a call on my cellphone and I have to restart the whole workout. To make this app a 5 star for me is to get the bug fixed or pause the session I left off at without having to redo the whole workout again

### 4/5 — Great workout app for the Bowflex dumbbells

*2022-07-21, version 2.2.0*

I love this app. I started off with the 6-week challenge when I got my new Bowflex 552 adjustable dumbbells. Finished that, and now I just do “Choose a Workout” and work on back, chest, shoulders, etc. 

If I had any suggestion for improvement, it would be to have an option to see a preview video (instead of just a still image) of the workout they’re about to do before the workout timer starts so the user can estimate how much weight they think they’ll be able to lift for that particular exercise. 

Also, not sure if anyone else has this issue, but I use the app on my phone (as opposed to an iPad), and if I happen to get a call in the middle of a workout, it causes the app to crash and I lose all progress for my entire session.  Quite annoying. I have to put the phone in “Do not disturb” mode so no calls come through. 

These are small things though and overall I really like the app and it complements the Bowflex 552 adjustable dumbbells nicely.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2022-06-25, version 2.2.0*

I love the exercises and the timer. The fact that it Keeps track of the weight you last used for the exercise is awesome!!
JRNY is a joke compared to this app! Who wants some one yelling in your ear for the entire work out and not have an out line of the exercises or how much time for each.

### 3/5 — Closes and loses my place when I get a call

*2022-06-02, version 2.2.0*

It’s pretty useful. But I wish I could preview the exercise video before the start of it (while I’m pausing between sets).
More annoying is that if I get a phone call during the workout, the app closes and I lose track of where I was. Unable to pickup where I was when the call came in. I guess I have to workout in Airplane Mode?

### 1/5 — App being retired - now I have to pay again to use the functionality I already purchased

*2022-01-10, version 2.2.0*

I bought these smart dumbbells for the smart function, and paid a significant premium for that function just a few years ago.  Now that smart feature is being turned off, and I have to pay $149 a year for it?  No more bowflex/nautilus products for me in the future.  Yes I get there is a free trial we’re granted for the new JRNY app that lasts a year and requires a credit card - no thanks I just want the original functionality I paid for without getting trapped into a subscription

### 5/5 — Great workouts, much better than JRNY app

*2021-12-20, version 2.2.0*

Though the app may have quirks, it provides a great, customizable workout with routines you can build.  So sad JRNY is replacing this.  As a user of both, JRNY is “slicker” but this one is more functional.  Almost no ability to customize with JRNY focused on recorded instructors talking at you with recorded routines, no adaptability.  So, enjoy SelectTech while you can, JRNY is just a wannabe peloton.

### 2/5 — No instructional videos

*2021-11-28, version 2.2.0*

Cannot view instructional videos, as the app crashes every time the play button is pressed.  This is a ridiculous problem for such an app to have.

### 1/5 — Can’t continue a workout or go backwards

*2021-11-09, version 2.1.0*

I started the 6 week challenge today and skipped forward to see how to do a certain exercise and it wouldn’t let me go back to that exercise so I stopped the workout and it wouldn’t let me back in. Now i have to redownload the app and re enter all my data. Found so many flaws with this app and I’ve used it for a half an hour

### 2/5 — Would be a decent app if it were to stop crashing

*2021-09-10, version 2.1.0*

App has some good features to complement Bowflex products, but it crashes frequently. Also hasn’t been updated in some time, doesn’t even naturally fit to my iPhone screen (and my phone is 2yo).
