I will give this 5 stars simply because I believe in the product and the creator (thanks Hampton!). The potential is definitely there so these comments are just to capture what I think would help the UI. -when I’m logging sets, it would be nice to have a reference/option to select what level I’m on without backing out and then it resetting my rep count, which means I have to go back in and watch ads again. I can’t remember a lot of the time if I should try for 2 or 3 sets of X. -also have that level selection stay constant for all the sets I log (if I know I can only do 10 reps, it’s annoying to have to reset it each time if it defaults to 20)-it would be nice for the rep counter to have an incremental hold so I can change my reps faster -I’d love to see a history, but I know you’re working on that. And it would be fun to have the option to see a teaser of tomorrow (maybe not even the whole workout, I do kind of like the mystery)-It would also be great if I could log sets and move through the ads without my music cutting out (even if I have to manually mute it). I’d like to log sets and do the whole work out continuously without having to jump back to start my music each time, especially when I’m doing 5+ sets of something.

I love Hampton and Hybrid Calisthenics and this app is a great way for people to get started! However I wish there were more options to customize which exercises to do since there are some that I can't do at home (I lack the equipment for jackknife pullups, or any leg raise progressions that use gymnastic rings for example), or an option to go back to earlier progressions and have it count toward the daily workout. Also, reminders would be an excellent addiction to this app, as I've lost my streak twice now due to forgetting to open it on a rest day, thus pushing my whole routine a day forward and giving me an extra rest day. I agree with what others have said as well: the way the app interrupts music any time you log a set is cumbersome, as is the long wait time for the app the load when you first open it. An option to view workout history and previous reps to measure progress would be nice to have (I've been copying and pasting the summaries into my notes app to keep track). Overall it's a wonderful program that's especially friendly for those just starting their fitness journey, but the app needs some work. I will continue to use it since it's the most manageable workout I've encountered so far, and I look forward to any and all future improvements!

I love the format and simplicity of the app - it’s really easy to find the different movements and start the recommended routine. I love the built in timer for time between sets and the easy input for number of reps - this is something I struggle to record and stay consistent with on my own. There are a couple things I think would be quick but really helpful fixes! On the home page, there’s a “start your new routine” option, but it only starts from the first progression, and doesn’t have an option to modify to the progression you’re on. It’s easy enough to look for the correct progression in the movement library and go from there, but it would be awesome if we could modify the routine on the homepage instead of needing to parse through the library. It could also be that this will update after a few days of working in the progression, but I would love to adjust it right away! The other thing I didn’t love is that the “I’m done” button only appears after your 3 minute rest time, so if you’re finished with all your sets, you still have to wait to press “I’m done” - it would be great if that was an option during the rest time. Overall I’m really pleased with the app and will definitely continue using to structure and record my workouts!

So I’ve been doing the HC exercise program for about a month now and have been very pleased with how it has helped me not only begin but progress through a comprehensive exercise routine. This is all free and invaluable, and I am incredibly grateful for it. I would recommend anybody who is looking to get into a beginner workout routine download the app and give it a look/try. However, the app itself can be incredibly frustrating at times. In the free version, the app shows you an ad during your cooldown. This is not really a problem at all, and I’m more than happy to play a quick and usually skippable ad when I’m catching my breath. But recently there’s been an ad that just freezes and I can’t ever click out of it. This might not even be that big of an issue, but the progress for the entire workout is not saved, even if you just finished the entire thing. It can also be very slow to load, and there’s not much in the way of actually viewing logs or progress, or for saving your progress if the app bugs out (which isn’t an infrequent occurrence). So yeah, just a *little* more user friendliness could go a long way, and could make the app as good as the program that’s on it!
