### 1/5 — Front squats are incorrect

*2018-10-30, version 1.2*

If you’re going to copy someone else’s program and make money off of it at least copy it correctly.

### 1/5 — Does not calculate front squats correctly

*2018-10-07, version 1.2*

Was disappointed to spend $2 on this app to find out it does not calculate the front squats correctly or show the correct number of reps.  You can check the spreadsheets for the correct numbers online. I’m deleting this app and downloading the 99 cents app that does it right.

### 1/5 — Wrong sets and reps

*2025-05-30, version 1.2*

Doesnt give the correct sets and reps for the front squat.  Should be mostly sets of 5 for the FS, but instead it gives the same rep and percentage as the back squat.  Dont use this app

### 1/5 — Terrible not even hatch

*2025-05-14, version 1.2*

The rep scheme is wrong for the front squats… so not even hatch

### 1/5 — Not correct

*2024-04-12, version 1.2*

The front squat reps are wrong. Do not purchase this!! I wish I had read the reviews before I hastily purchased this

### 1/5 — Front squats not calculated correctly

*2023-01-07, version 1.2*

Crazy why this isn’t fixed already

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2021-10-07, version 1.2*

I rarely write reviews but man, the program is so not accurate. I bought it for convenience, but I might as well have printed out the pdf. Front squats are off and after week 8 it stopped working.

### 1/5 — Incorrect front squats

*2021-02-09, version 1.2*

Wish I’d read reviews before downloading. The front squats are wrong. Careless mistake that has been called out for years. Developer doesn’t care. Don’t download.

### 1/5 — It’s not the right rep scheme

*2021-01-04, version 1.2*

Don’t use this if you want to true rep scheme

### 1/5 — Sloppy and lazy

*2020-08-11, version 1.2*

Should have read the reviews more carefully. This program doesn’t prescribe front squats correctly. Sloppy and lazy. Happy to revise this review if it’s corrected.

### 1/5 — Percentages are wrong

*2020-07-10*

The front squat reps & percentages are not correct. Looks like the front squat just follows the same reps as the back squat which is not Hatch. Don’t download unless they update with a fix

### 1/5 — Does not calculate front squats correctly

*2018-11-06, version 1.2*

If it is changed to reflect the true hatch squat cycle numbers, I will change my review to 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Worked for me

*2024-03-12, version 1.2*

Unfamiliar with the “correct” vs “incorrect” rep scheme everyone is whining about, but I did what it said and got a 15# PR front squat and 25# PR back squat over 12 weeks. 
I’ll be doing more rounds of the 12 week program for sure using my new weights.

### 5/5 — 伸びる❗️

*2018-06-25*

CrossFit Trainingには最高のSquat Program❗️

### 4/5 — Comments section

*2024-02-20, version 1.2*

Great tracking app but would be useful to have a comments section for each day to track any missed lifts/feel for the day.

### 3/5 — Different weights

*2021-12-28, version 1.2*

The hatch squat weights online is different to the app…might be 1kg -4kg difference. But that’s a big difference when it’s near your 1RM
