TrueCoach 4+

Please sort the new update out. Everything was perfect till this. Now when you have your music on doing your workout, ever exercise you scroll past, the video starts playing & cuts your music out.
Also not very good if you are doing super sets. On the old one you could click your results in as u do them & then move on to the next workout & then back to the other one. Now if you click of one workout to look at another, you loose your results. All good till then tho. I’d recommend this app once them small glitches are fixed.

I only recently started using this app to communicate with my coach so don’t have a reference to the previous version which other reviews mention. Needless to say it’s totally unintuitive and clunky to use. Saving workout results is difficult as the screen jumps around and buttons are hidden by the keyboard - hitting out of the page loses any data you’ve inputted. It also doesn’t show you what reps/weight you did previously so it’s hard to quickly check. (Include this on the results page so you don’t have click around so much). The videos don’t need to be visible all the time - they should be smaller and available if required but take up most the screen. It’s just not well designed to be used during a workout - I want to spend minimal time on my phone in the gym. One page with a list of reps/weights/previous results and a timer and hide the extra info away for when I need it.

I find it much easier to use the ‘Strong’ app to record all my results quickly and just copy the text output over after I’ve finished.

The coach end of this app looks amazing on the desktop - why not give the user the same quality experience?

I’m a client using this app an it is very clunky and frustrating. I hate using it but my PT makes me use. Generally it is not an intuitive app. There are a lot of different sections you have to click on to rather than things just being in the same area.

1. The workouts shouldn’t be split into “upcoming/past”. Rather than just scrolling up and down for the workouts, you have to mess around with clicking upcoming or past. Then go searching for the workout.

2. There should be an option at the end of each workout for additional notes. Instead of tapping the “messages icon” then taping AGAIN to type. Also this is annoying for when u have to look back on any messages

3. When u do type a message under an exercise, it keeps the message number in the icon as though it’s a new message .

4. There should be an option to send a voicey

5. There should be an area where the PT could just upload each full workout like in a doc so client can easily open the app & go to the workout they are planning that day. It’s not overly helpful for the PT to have to add each workout into a specific day as people’s schedules aren’t always that rigid.
