App keeps crashing
I like the tracking feature. Show previous reps when you start a new workout. The links to the instructional videos are nice, but the app crashes when I try to full screen the video or turn my phone sideways and I lose my whole workout.
Glitches
After I input data the app deletes it and I have to re enter my reps the next time I open the app. I have asked for help on the FB page and no one has provided support. I have been waiting for three weeks.
Still no updates for hypertrophy regimen
It’s been a year since the hypertrophy regimen came out, but the app hasn’t been updated for it.
Ok, but
App is ok, but it could be greatly improved within the creating custom workout section. It would be extremely useful if you could add a specific exercise into a custom workout more than once! Let’s say you want to do 2 sets of chest press, it would be nice if they let you add multiples of the same exercise into your custom workout!

Very basic
It’s an OK app, it doesn’t integrate with Apple health to record a training session and it only shows the results for the last session, so if you cut a session short, the next session will show a zero for last results for any exercise you didn’t do so I don’t know what I’m aiming to beat.
Outdated App
Hypertrophy program has been out for awhile. Why doesn’t the app include it? Or at least the ability to create an ACTUAL custom workout. When creating a custom workout you can only choose the canned entries. Once you’ve chosen one, it disappears, so you can’t add multiple sets of the same exercise.
Does what it’s meant to do
Nice app and easy to use. Only two things I’d request to have added:
1. The various squats added, as it relates to the X3 squat belt.
2. Maybe a progress import/export feature that supports a lightweight and easy format such as CSV, so I can transfer my progress to a new mobile device when needed.
Updated Jan. 11, 2025:
Now that we have the squat belt exercises included, and the great new UI is available, a couple more things:
1. It would be awesome to have the ability to log multiple sets of the same exercise in custom workouts, or perhaps just make the hypertrophy program exercises available as an option.
2. The focused exercises such as straight leg dead lift, overhead tricep extension, shallow squats, etc. would be nice to be able to add to custom exercises as well.
3. A progress export option would still be awesome for folks who choose not to subscribe to the X3 Force app.

Great App - Request update
I love the update, includes paraforce bands and stacking. One request would be to add the Gen2 performance bands as an option.
Good updates
Liking the new updates as it was difficult to track when doing the hypertrophy program. Would like to see the lateral raise, seated calf raises, and wrist curls added in.
Sync between devices?
I’m only on day one, but wanted to suggest the ability to sync the data for the app installed on multiple devices.
Could be really useful to pull up and enter data on the phone or the tablet, depending on what’s handy. Would also save entering workout data redundantly on multiple devices.

New version keeps improving
The old version was pretty good and so is the new. Developer keeps updating with improvements and fixes, which is great. I'd prefer the display of the workouts to have larger fonts as they're hard to read at a glance whilst working out.
Good for original band set only
This app does the job if you’re using the original program with the original bands. The problem is, many people have since upgraded to the paraforce bands which this app does not track. Also, it does not allow stacking bands.
Tracking made easy
This is by far the easiest way and best way for me to track my days. I’d love to see the option to add the new program in, or be able to make it in the custom.
I hope they add the hypertrophy program!
App does the job but I’ve switched to the hypertrophy program so can no longer use it really.
New version has regressions
The old version was pretty good and so is the new, but the option to include pec crossover with the push day has gone, so I've had to create a custom workout to include that exercise, which means that my push day progress won't track from my old push workout. Also the display of the workouts has smaller fonts which are harder to read at a glance whilst working out.

Long overdue update
This is a nice improvement. I would give it five stars but the push day workout is missing the pec crossover. Maybe the pec crossover is no longer recommended for push day. The new changes include options use the longer bar, the squat belt and the paraforce bands with the ability to stack the bands.

Response from developer
Hello! We have added back the ability to toggle pec crossover for workouts. Please install the latest version 2.0.2, and don't hesitate to contact customer support at cs@jaquishbiomedical.com if you have any further issues!
My recommendations
I own an x3 elite, mostly because of how simple and convenient it is. I often use it with bad or no internet connection, which is why I opted out of the force bar.
With program and product updates, this app needs to be updated in tandem. Specifically the hypertrophy program. Getting those exercises on would be great. And for long bar users, force estimations would also be appreciated for the different bands. And how about layering band options if you have the paraforce bands? My last recommendation would be to include all videos in the app itself, not links to view them. I cannot access any of the existing links right now because of the internet connection issue.
I hope my recommendations are helpful, and I think there is relatively little work for the app developers to make this product a true companion for the x3 system.

Instructional Video Not Working
The link for the instruction video doesn’t work when pressed! This app needs tone rewritten from the ground up for sure. App hasn’t been updated in 2 years.
Needs updated
This apps needs updates. The instructional video links don’t work. I see the X3 force is getting updates but that can’t be used unless you have that model bar. Please keep this app up to date for all the users of the traditional model. Thank you.
Needs improvement
App is ok but needs improvement, needs ability to use more than one band on exercises, needs ability to write notes on each exercise at a minimum.
