Needs Search Function

Lack of a search or filter function makes sorting through the exercises annoying, as they are organized alphabetically and not by muscle group other than a vague “Hips and Knees” or “Ankle and Calves”, which includes a very large group. For example, a gastroc stretch may be named “Calf Stretch”, “Gastroc Stretch” or “Standing Calf Stretch”; with hundreds of exercises, it’s tedious to try to find a specific exercise.

If your PT subscribes and gives you this app, it’s probably fine - they can send you the exercises. For someone looking to build their own plan or following guidance from their PT who does not pay for the service, the UI is unintuitive and difficult to use.

Awesome!!!

Easy to use!
Great way to keep track of exercises!
Just what I needed!
Thank you!

Excellent

I love it and very easy to follow. If you need music just sing

Needs iPhone X Support/Won’t Let You Listen to Music

This app is incredible. It has very nice tones to let you know when to a rep, it’s easy to navigate, and it has a clean look. However, if you try to listen to music and open the app, the music shuts off. I wish there were a way to mute the app sound effects and still be able to listen to music. Another solution would be that the tone plays through the music.
In addition, I just got the iPhone X and this app needs to support its full screen layout. Right now, the edges are chopped off and there is empty space.
Overall, it’s still an incredible app, but I like my music.

Wonderful for patients

I had my Mom sign up for this app to keep her consistent with doing her home exercises because she would always say that she would forget how to do the exercises. This app not only shows her how to do the exercises, it times her repetitions for her, and sends a notification to her PT that she has done her exercises. Genius app!
