I really liked the app and immediately bought the premium version. I‘ve setup my exercises and workout plans. Then, with one of the recent updates a few weeks ago, the devs seem to have decided to create their own categories for muscle groups and simply overwrote my own or added theirs. The outcome: most of my exercises are now in a category I don’t want them to be. And worst thing about this is that it happened without even a notification and the possibility to decline. Aside from that, replacing an exercise during a workout often leads to the exercise AFTER the selected one being replaced. EDIT: I have to revise my rating from 3 stars to 1 star. Just tried to re-sort my exercises and deleted all the new categories. Some genius dev thought it would be good to automatically delete all the exercises if the category is deleted. So I basically have to fully recreate everything I‘ve built over the past months. Thanks for nothing. Actually less than nothing since I now have double the work.
1. "Continue With Last Workout Values" only seems to work between the same workout. It would be good if there were at least an option to "Continue With Last Exercise Values", so it works for the same exercises among different workouts. 2. Exercise notes, which can include important information that can affect decisions in future workouts, are not currently included in CSV exports. It would be helpful if notes could be included. 3. In Notes boxes (e.g. Exercise Note), for increased usability there should be ghost/placeholder text of the notes last entered for that note type in a prior workout, as the notes may be intended to affect decisions in future workouts. See RepCount for an example. 4. In any workout, after exiting the Notes section of any exercise (containing boxes: Exercise Note, Workout Note, Workout Definition Note, Exercise Definition Note), the workout page has been scrolled all the way to the top. For usability, it should instead return to where the user had been on the page. 5. It seems that data is not synced to the cloud, which would mean app data loss should the app be deleted or reinstalled, in which case a cloud sync option should be added. 6. A dark mode, in which the full interface has a dark color theme, would be great. Currently it appears that only certain portions of the interface vary in color among the existing themes (e.g. top, buttons, tab icons), whereas most of it remains light.
*Update* The developer has fixed the issue summarized below. Fortunately all of my data is still in the app (although I now have a 638 hour active workout) and I can go back to using FitNotes to design my gym workouts and track my progress. I’ve tried a lot of free and paid fitness tracking apps, and this one is a top 3 favorite. I appreciate being able to plan my workouts ahead of time, while also retaining the ability to add/remove/replace exercises mid-workout. ———————————————————— I used this app pretty successfully for several months. Ever since upgrading to iOS 13.0, it won’t open at all even after uninstalling and reinstalling. I’m bummed I lost all of my data. Before this issue, I did like using FitNotes. It was easy to setup new workouts and swap exercises during a workout. I liked how it tracked the last weight & reps for each exercise.
