The 30 Day Jump Rope Challenge

I love this app but hate the fact you can’t listen to music while trying to workout. Also it would be nice to have the app talk back to you as a guide throughout workouts. I constantly have to look at the phone to see what’s coming up next.

I’m pretty frustrated with the custom portion. I want to break up one movement in many rounds, but custom won’t allow it. Also, there’s no way to delete your custom exercise from your page once it’s made.

Whenever a user tries to listen to music or a podcast while using this app the audio feed from other apps get disabled. If the user tries to start a timer within the app and then starts music or podcast playback the audio for the timers gets disabled. This is pretty frustrating because naturally some users want to be able to listen to music simultaneously while going through a workout session and the ability to do that is hindered. I liked this app because it’s simple and has a calendar so I could keep track of the consecutive days of my workouts and let’s me know when my rest days are. Unfortunately those workouts don’t get logged with Apple HealthKit so outside of the basic calendar view you get no data from your workout. If these issues were resolved I’d upgrade to the premium version. Until then I’ve gone back to just using the default Apple timer app.
