### 3/5 — Crashing without saving

*2020-12-01, version 1.11*

Started trial and setup the workout intervals. When I long press to remove the extra speech, entire app crashes and all my work is lost

### 4/5 — Love it

*2020-03-15, version 1.10.1*

I love that it talks over my music and doesn’t stop the music and that it tells what workout is going to start unlike other apps where you manually have to start the workout but I’m about to purchase the $1 things but I’m not sure if it just gives me more time or if it makes me have unlimited amount of workout time

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-02-27, version 1.10.1*

Great app, almost exactly what I needed! Easy to setup, easy to use. 
Love that it doesn’t interfere with my music, no matter what app is playing it.

### 5/5 — The generic work out app I’ve been looking for

*2019-04-09*

This bare bones app is great for setting up a work out and just following it through to the end. There’s no distractions from video or off the cuff comments from retired wrestlers. It uses the built in voice to announce whatever you need it to, so while there might be some odd enunciation sometimes it will tell you exactly what you ask it to when you need it saying.

### 5/5 — I like it

*2019-03-08*

Simple, easy to use and works well

### 4/5 — Works for me

*2018-06-25, version 1.9.2*

I’m an older woman recovering from a hip problem.  I have created a stretching and core program here that is perfect for now, and will change things as I regain strength.  I like the flexibility of this app.  It’s simple to use even for an oldie like me.

### 5/5 — The Best Custom Exercise App Period

*2015-06-03, version 1.3*

Thee is nothing like this on Android. It is simple, clean, and intuitive. It has voice response (even smart-voice so it reads your custom exercises) and it runs in the background so you can listen to music during the workout. There is no better custom workout app.

### 5/5 — Meets a Need. Simple App

*2014-09-04, version 1.0*

This app does exactly what I need to do. It lets you create a workout from scratch, specifying times for rest, etc. It gets 5 stars because it meets the need perfectly. 

That said, this is 1.0 and there is room for improvement. It has a simple design, but even this is far better than the terrible design that's out there. 

If I could choose one improvement, it would be to copy/paste workouts and not just exercises within each workout. If I could choose another, it would be the option to add rounds of sets so you don't have to copy and paste as much. But these are minor.

In the end, this app speaks to you by reading the text of your work out. It gives you the time in increments so you can put your phone down and continue to know what is going on. Much improved over anything else in the market. I will keep an eye out for this to get better and better.
