Split Workouts 17+

Decent but needs work.

I like to calisthenics using the EDT style but I don’t think this app is the greatest for that. My main gripe with this app is that you only get 12 sets per workout block. That’s just not enough when you’re on minute 13 of 15 minute pull-up and dip set and squeezing out those last single reps.

It would also be nice if this app was compatible with the Apple Health app.

Developer Response ,

Thanks so much for the review. There is actually no limit to how many sets you can do.. The UI doesn’t automatically scroll, and that’s the problem. Once you reach 12 simply swipe up in the sets section for that move and you’ll be able to add more.

The autoscrolling will come soon. Until then please give it another try.

Solid app, with a few bugs

I really like the concept of this app and I think the implementation is pretty solid. However, after using it for 2 workouts in 2 days I noticed the app hangs a bit when trying to scroll the main screen. I don't experience this with other apps. Also, on my second workout, after completing the second block, it didn't save all the reps from the second exercise, only 2 sets, when I had completed about 9. I was disappointed to learn that I couldn't edit the results to reflect the actual workout. So now I'm stuck with incomplete data. If it continues to not save data, I might have to try using Google Sheets, which would be less than ideal. I think this app has promise if this bug is fixed and/or if they add the feature to edit the results in case of unsaved data.

Has potential

The app has a lot of potential with a few fixes. First, take care of the bugs. Can’t roll the screen to select other exercises outside of Day 1 and data doesn’t always save. Second, allow for more than two blocks per day, I do 3 or more usually. Third, allow for each block to have varying times. I usually do a 20 min block, followed by a 15 min block, and two 10 min blocks. Sometimes I’ll just do one exercise and time reps. Would be nice if the app allowed you to manipulate the block settings more. Has a lot of potential but is incredibly frustrating right now.
