pushr – push-up workouts

Love the design and concept of this app literally everything other than the actual counting and tracking which is god awful. Most days I will do almost double the reps of what is actually counted and I’m talking chest to floor full range pushups but it still misses. If this worked consistently it would be 5 stars. Maybe have an option for a side view or something because the face tracking is just not consistent.

Really do like the idea of the app, but the push-up counter itself on the app sometimes doesn’t count half the pushups even with light mode on. On top of that, you have to look straight into your camera and that isn’t exactly ideal with being flash banged by the light mode while trying to concentrate on pushups. The streaks aren’t ideal either imo, but that’s just my opinion as i count my random pushups at like 3 am apart of my daily pushups for that day, which i know the app does not and it’s not exactly its fault that i do that, but the app did say that i reached my daily workout limit when i didn’t do a single workout that day and wouldn’t let me start a workout, so i waited 10 minutes or so, (tried to do a workout at 11:50 pm). After the 10 minutes i go to start a workout at 12:02 am only to see i lost my streak, (just experienced this), which hasn’t been the first time that something stupid like this has happened for me to lose my streak. I’m sure most people are usually motivated to do their daily tasks such as these by having a streak and not wanting to lose it, so when this usually happens it’s really demotivating. Otherwise app is fine. Sorry for the bad english, it’s late at night while i’m writing this along with the fact i’m sick so i can’t exactly write the best review but losing my streak just now was extremely irritating.

I love the app, I discovered it through an article in WIRED and decided to give it a try since I am someone who regularly does push-ups. At first I didn’t think much of it. I found it underwhelming—too simplistic for my taste. However, after tracking my push-ups over a week, I began to see its value and now use it daily.
