Fitness Trainer at Mac App Store analyse

The exercise database is nice, the photos and videos are well done too. The exercise list is easy to navigate and the exercise descriptions are ok. A cool feature is that you can create your own customized exercises, writing your own instructions and putting your own photos.The main problem of the app is when you need to build your workouts! A desktop App for fitness should be good to build nice workouts and help the user in this process. When you create a new workout you cannot go to the exercise list and add an exercise from there. Instead, you need to use an alphabetically sorted pop-up list that does not even let you search for the exercise. You really need to roll down the list to find the exercise yourself. If you forget to add a given exercise in the middle of your workout and add it in the end, you cannot reorder the exercise list! I bought the software because I though It would be cool to research and develop my workout on my desktop mac and then sync it with my iPhone. However, I got very disappointed because it is really tiresome to build a workout using this app and I really regret I bought it. I am not buying the app for iPhone though.

Noch einige Fehler die das Program oft abstürzen lassen... Weitere Verbesserungsvorschläge wären, dass wenn man ein Workout erstellt die Übungen nach Muskelgruppe kategorisiert sind und nicht alle nach dem Alphabet aufgelistet sind. dass man ein gestartetes Workout stoppen kann damit man noch Änderungen vornehmen kann ( Übung hinzufügen usw.). dass man die gängigen europäischen Maßeinheiten nutzen kann (kg, cm, usw.). Einen Lob gibt es für die gueten Videos die einem die richtige Ausführung der Übung zeigen. *edit: Trotz Bewertung öffnet sich immer wieder das Bewertungsfenster...

Ich habe die App auch für das iPhone, die Daten ließen sich ohne Probleme in die iCoud hochladen. Wenn ich die Daten dann auf meinem Mac downloaden möchte stürzt die App mit einem Kurzdump ab.

This app surpasses all the other workout tracking apps I tried. The only thing thats a bit cumbersome is the lack of automatic synchronization: you have to open a menu and press a button to get the app to sync data with iCloud. (You even have to press a button to upload data to the cloud, which definitely should be automatic). A definite 5 star app if it werent for that.

This application doesnt stop nagging me to rate it and when I say no thanks, it gives me the spinning wheel of death! The workouts are great though but this nags me

The database of exercises is very complete… However I found the following problems with the App and wouldn’t recommend buying : - Impossible to do a text search within the database - Some text is cut out because of bad formatting of text boxes - The database of exercises is organized by category (muscle, equipment, etc…) which is great but when you create your own custom workout and want to add an exercise from the database there is no mean to search within these categories. You only have access to an alphabetical list of all possible exercise, which makes it difficult to select the exercises you want to put in your workout. - The logging functions are not so straightforward to use. Summarizing, the app is still very perfectible and was not worth my investment.

I bought this app with the intention of being able to create my own workouts on my computer and have them sync to my phone - but when I tried to create a workout plan I couldn’t even figure out how to add exercises to my plan. Great list of exercises available, but hardly user friendly when trying to create your own workouts. Waste of money - unless all you want is a detailed list of exercises.
