### 4/5 — Good app

*2024-10-24, version 2.2*

I love the app a lot the one thing it’s missing is a way to create folders for all your videos

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2024-04-07, version 2.2*

Every time I try and run a video it just crashes and closes

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2024-03-26, version 2.2*

Useless keeps crashing and close down whenever I upload a video.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-12-10, version 2.2*

This app is unstable in its current condition. Though it does work to take money when you buy the in app purchases it seems.

 I try to upload a video, it crashes. I try to record a video, it crashes. I finally upload a video and it tells me the assets are unusable. 

Absolutely terrible.

### 2/5 — No support

*2023-10-20, version 2.2*

The app does simple tracing well. Recording video through the app is broken but selecting from Photos still works.

Some fixes would make this app worth getting but the last update was 8 years ago.

### 1/5 — App crashes on newer iOS 16

*2023-10-09, version 2.2*

I have an iPhone 12 (I’m on iOS 16) and the app just crashes when you try to record a video. This app is incredibly out of date, and while I would love an update it would be best for your time and security to find an alternative

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2023-08-19, version 2.2*

Tried multiple times.  App just crashed every time five seconds after pressing “record video”.  Never got it to work.  Deleted.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2023-08-08, version 2.2*

App keeps crashing and has not worked once

### 1/5 — Crash

*2023-05-10, version 2.2*

Every time I try to record a video the app crashes

### 2/5 — App is trash and crashes

*2023-04-15, version 2.2*

Can’t record a video from within app. Anytime record feature is selected app crashes. Having to record a separate video and upload it to the app is tedious. User interface is cheap feeling. It’s free so whatever

### 2/5 — Record video option doesn’t work

*2023-03-21*

When I click record video it automatically shuts off and takes me back to my phones Home Screen I tried deleting and redownloading the
app but nothing changed.

### 1/5 — Won’t record, force closes the app

*2023-03-21, version 2.2*

Continually force closes the app.

### 1/5 — Must be a bug?

*2023-03-11, version 2.2*

It does literally nothing. I open the app and select to record a video. It does nothing, and then closes, over and over.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2023-03-09, version 2.2*

Bugs out doesn’t open

### 1/5 — It closes when I record

*2023-02-18, version 2.2*

Totally useless? Crashes whenever I press record.

### 1/5 — Old, dead and no longer works.

*2023-02-05, version 2.2*

App is outdated and forgotten by the devs. Every video I upload doesn’t work and shows no bar path. The app crashes constantly. Stay away

### 4/5 — Big fix

*2023-01-30*

I have been a CrossFit and USA weightlifting coach for about 10 years. I have used this app for years and it has been great. It seems to have a bug that needs fixed in that the in app camera will not record video. It is now only allowing review of external videos. Tried contacting App support, but it is not connecting.

Nothing works. Keeps crashing.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-09-26, version 2.2*

When you press “record” it does not work. Closes app.

i tried to use a video and track. Absolutely no tracking, it might start then goes away. It will not track at all.

### 1/5 — Only crashes

*2025-07-15, version 2.2*

App won’t let me do anything except upload a video… and then crashes. Can’t even access the menu or anything else. I remember this app used to be awesome.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2025-04-16, version 2.2*

App no longer works. Been using it for YEARS and now the app just crashes when trying to record a video. Support website no longer active. Doubt the paid version will work either.

Sorry, I meant garbage

### 1/5 — Going to finally use a different app

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Terrific

*2025-10-01, version 2.2*

Great way to track bar path. Easy to use and instant feedback

### 5/5 — Bar path

*2024-01-08, version 2.2*

Excellent tracking. helping my bench form Thanks Iron Path !

### 5/5 — Super Useful

*2023-08-27, version 2.2*

Don’t have time to write a full review but it’s awesome. Buy the premium, it’s so cheap and worth it.

### 5/5 — Very informative

*2022-01-28, version 2.2*

Tried free version, was great. Graphing function even better. Please figure out a way to have a graph displayed with the video.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2021-09-05, version 2.2*

It will draw the line as I wanted.

### 5/5 — Intuitive and helpful app

*2021-04-02*

I tried two different bar-tracing apps. Both were free, but the other one crashed on me as soon as it tried processing my video. This one worked like a champ! I will say, at first the paths weren’t very accurate but I realized it was my fault. When it asks to mark the weight, I first minimized the guide to align with the bar itself. This didn’t work. HOWEVER, when I modified the guide and started aligning it to encircle the entire diameter of the weight plate, it worked perfectly! Now I have tons of insight into my lifting form. Great little app!

### 5/5 — Great stuff.

*2021-01-25, version 2.2*

A great way to track and perfect your lift. By watching the squat path of my bar I was able to change my stance and add a few Kg’s to my lift.

### 5/5 — Simple but Efficient

*2020-10-05, version 2.2*

This is an awesome app for people who wants to get into Velocity based training / just someone who loves data and have a systematic approach to your training. 

This app also serves as a good tool in your programming repertoire to be used as a parameter!

Hoping for several new features added to improve user interface in near future. Perhaps an option that shows both tracker video & graph as starter?

Otherwise, I totally support the ongoing development of this app!

### 5/5 — Great tool to have as a Powerlifting Coach

*2020-07-01, version 2.2*

Really handy and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Good ap

*2020-04-01, version 2.2*

Useful app. Good stuff
