### 1/5 — Terrible app and services

*2025-03-01, version 9.0.50*

The apps are very hard to use! I purchased this together with the atlas app. But both apps are very similar in content and functions. Terrible visualization, super difficult to navigate. I can’t try the app before purchasing it and then I realize it was difficult to use compare to other apps! I requested my refund right after trying it for two minutes but none of that is approved. I just lost 60 bucks on the terrible apps (atlas and muscle app).

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2025-02-12, version 9.0.50*

Challenging to figure out how to use. Overwhelming amount of information to learn to navigate. Not user friendly at all.
