User reviews

Frequent user

I like the programs and features of this app. However, it keeps resetting my program making it difficult to follow through. The app needs some serious work as this is consistently an issue. At this point I feel like I need to abandon this app and find another solution.

App has so many glitches

I have yet to finish a program, because half way through the app will usually sign me out, and when I sign back in all progress is gone. Another glitch is that it will always go back o default easy mode, even when I chose difficult mode, so every time I open the app, I have to manually switch it.

Good app

Great app to go along with the sidekick board to help with my physical therapy for my ankle while also strengthening my feet. Keeps track of my progress very well

Great idea, bad execution

The app helps when I can figure out what I am actually supposed to be doing. The terms used (standing foot) for board setup doesn’t always make sense (is it the standing foot the one I am rehabbing, or the one I am standing on to support) and the videos often show a board setup completely different from the one I was instructed to use (for example, the setup has you put your heel on the wobbly board with your toes on the stable one, but the video shows the opposite).

The app is clearly being updated because I used it for the first time in a month and it was overhauled, but those glitches remain.

A few tweaks could make this app much more helpful.

Quirky app

I get that the web based version is no longer available. Quit displaying that message in my app already
