User reviews

Missing features especially for a paid app

This app is missing a lot of essential features. No ability to adjust reps. No abiliity to adjust weights. No audible alarm for the end of rest. No ability to adjust the rest period. The rest timer resets when leaving the set page for any reason. No ability to adjust the weights for dumbbells. Given its age, I’m guessing it’s not getting any kind of update. Too bad, I really wanted to try GVT for a bit.

Need a lot of improvement

Can’t adjust weight easily. Timer works only sometimes. Frustrating app. Reset makes everything reset. Dumb. Also if you open another app, sometimes this app will start over. Just what you need in the middle of a workout.

Needs flexibility

The app is good but could definitely use the ability to adjust the weight and the reps. It adds 1 lb to the next workout when I’m using dumbbells, my dumbbells are in 5 lb increments as I’m sure most are.

A joke

This app has got really bad. I had the premium paid for app but changed phone. Can’t get the premium back and the developers don’t respond. Check out the last update! Now I’ve got an advert right in front of the timer so I can’t even see the countdown. Don’t waste your money is my advice.

Good but needs work

It’s a good app but could do with improvements, if I fail to complete 10 sets of reps it would be useful to know at what point I failed and show it when I start the exercise the next week so I have a goal to aim for.

The timer is hit and miss with its notifications and it’s very easy to misclick and delete past completed sets.
