An app that works decently well!!
My local gym recently upgraded to all technogym cardio equipment so I downloaded the app. Ive had a chance to input 4 workouts so far.
Things I like:
-the ability to scan cardio equipment. I like that it tracks it for you!!
-I like the "outdoors" view on the cardio screens, something to watch other than the seagulls outside or the timer countdown (also like that the bottom of the screen doesnt include the time, rather a bar that gives you a rough idea).
- videos for proper positioning on the weight machines, although could you put it on the 2nd swipe and move the tracking to the first page?? Super helpful when Im looking at trying different machines and the staff are busy.
-general layout when adding activities, it took a bit of time to learn, but now its fairly quick to add different.
-ability to edit past workouts. Im still using iFitness to track my weights because I dont have to convert them while Im actually DOING them. I convert it later and put it in.
Areas for improvement
-no scanning ability for weight machines. I suspect that its because these are older, but it wouldnt be hard to make stickers for them that could be added to the equipment. This would help with input speed for weights.
-have an option to change the weight tracking to lbs. I might be Canadian, but all my weights are in lbs (not kg or plates). I run in km/hr, so dont mess that up in the adjustment!
- The refreshing is SLOW and cumbersome because its constantly pulling things off the internet. The internet is sometimes patchy or slow in our gym, or my provider is having a particularly high usage day and its slow. Put it on the phone, for goodness sakes...
-no ability to input data without an internet connection. REALLY???
-no connectivity to other apps or equipment (HR monitor, GPS running, etc).
-Plank should be in SECONDS, not reps.
Its a good start. I hope you guys keep up.
