User reviews

Cool idea, but crashes

App is a great idea for testing, treating and retesting but crashes regardless if I take the video in the app or import a video

Very handy app!

Fantastic app, easy to use for clinician and patient alike, with some very useful data!

Great potential but some issues

As a Physio I love this app as a tool to give me more info regarding calf capacity and it’s a fun outcome measure.

However, I find the app glitchy (crashed on me) and not exactly user friendly when making profiles for different patients.

I have only tried recording within the app rather than submitting a video from my files. However, recording within the app is time consuming to get the final analysis I’m looking for when I have the patient in front of me. I wish this app was a bit more user friendly since it has great potential.

Keeps crashing

Seems like it could be a great tech tool for Physio’s, but kept crashing 👎🏻

Would not recommend

Not very good. The apps keeps crashing and you need to edit the video all the time in order for software to properly track the movement of the foot. And when it cannot track, the app just shuts down. Bottom line, the app needs more work
