Kieser Konnect

The Kieser app for WatchOS offers a decent experience for your Kieser workout needs. Its simplicity is a strong point, providing all the essential features without overwhelming you with unnecessary details. However, there were some notable drawbacks, particularly in terms of maintaining a stable connection with my phone during the workout. Despite my phone being just a few meters away at the front desk, there were instances of disconnection, requiring relaunching the app, impacting the flow of the routine and my heart rate. While the app did manage to resume where it left off, the interruptions were less than ideal. To enhance the overall user experience, I suggest the following improvements: Introduce a sound or buzz feature for the start/stop of the timer, addressing the challenge of keeping track of time during certain activities that involve the use of hands. Implement a feature for easy scrolling through notes; this was suggested by my trainer Enhance the app's ability to remain the primary focus during training, aligning it with the behavior of the native Workout app, another examples being Strong Look forward to seeing these enhancements but more importantly a resolution to the sync issues.

The phone app is great, and the watch would be even better than the phone with a couple of changes. The syncing problem is frustrating - it either duplicates on the phone or doesn’t sync at all - at one time the watch froze while trying to sync. Another bug occurs when the watch times out and goes back to the clock, but if you change the Return To Clock setting to 1 hour the problem goes away. A haptic tap on the watch after the timer reaches (say) 1 minute would make it perfect. Would be great to get feedback from the developers.

The German version Was excellent and I used it for a long time. This Australian version has not been properly tested. You cannot : 1. Resequence the machine order/settings -staff must do it (customers cannot be trusted as they were before -yet they can actually do machines in any order !!!) 2. make a user mistake and go back to restart machine easily and resume - did eventually find a way that I think works eg. Pressed Stop button or got wrong weight - just add a RESTART/REDO button ! Or allow zero time so you can start again. 3. See settings you are on to check them once started - needs be on same screen as timer. Then pause and check. 4. Send/keep/email copy of workout/history in PDF/CSV 5. No graphs showing progression in time or weights per machine 6. Cannot see bottom buttons on weights screen when in landscape mode 7. Have more than 10 machines per page/card/plan - why limit to old physical sheet size ???? OVERALL Klunky but still useful. More effort put into style than function unfortunately. Wait for V2. PLEASE CATER FOR HUMANS USING THIS APP AND THAT THEY MAKE A MISTAKE !!! What can you do if you need to reset and repeat an exercise. Someone can start talking to you and the clock keeps going. Why not a RESET button and start again if you did not hit PAUSE??? If you do Machine A using machine B settings how can you find out Machine A settings to do it manually ?? Unrealistic expectations of users not making mistakes and very poor real user testing of the App!!!!!
