User reviews

Please!

Hello! The app is good and the idea is great. I bought Premium right away because I wanted to support the concept with my money, but there are some issues.

First, it would be great to add Russian language support. It shouldn’t be hard—translating and localizing the UI for 2026 can be done pretty quickly.

Second, the implementation needs work. The main problem is calibration: it’s not intuitive at all. The instructions say “stand at the top, then do one slow rep with a brief pause at the bottom.” But when you tap “Start calibration,” it’s unclear whether calibration has actually started, whether it’s working, or whether it failed. It works only sometimes.

No matter how I adjust sensitivity, rep tracking is inconsistent. I can do 15 squats and it counts perfectly, then the next 10 reps won’t be counted at all, and then while I’m walking back to my phone it suddenly adds 3 extra reps. This happens even with sensitivity set to the middle.

Background activity / Live Activity is also painful. I’m writing this review right now and the app is still stuck in the Dynamic Island—already for about 30 minutes.

Please fix these issues and keep improving the app. It’s a great idea and a great app— it just needs polishing to work reliably.

Response from developer

Hi! Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the late response. I'll work on an update to address your feedback, for now you can swipe to dismiss the live activity. You can also turn off background mode in settings under: "Background coaching" / "Background mode". But I totally agree it needs to be more clear and such. I really appreciate your feedback, I'll see what I can do to improve it :)
