### 3/5 — 好用但是有bug

*2025-10-29*

导入新视频无法直接输入杠铃重量，因为但凡点击了输入框就无法收回键盘，导致无法点击右下角最后一步“确认”

### 3/5 — Ok

*2025-10-12*

Very intuitive tracking. 
Cannot export in 60FPS or full quality video. 
Cannot select trace start/stop range to exclude drops without cropping video. 
Both seem like easy additions to the app. Especially for a paid app..
