Bowflex® Max Trainer® Hack 3.0.4 + Redeem Codes

This app was fine until I got an Apple Watch. Now I want my workouts to sync and not duplicate/overlap. Other apps handle this just fine. It seems the time that the app records for the workout is out of sync with the phone/watch. So Apple Heath thinks it’s a different workout than the one the watch recorded. Pretty annoying. I don’t see any way to fix the time issue. You can see in Apple Health that the Max Trainer app is recording the wrong time not the watch.

I was prompted to “upgrade” and install a new version of the app. So I did.

This new app NEVER syncs correctly. It always loses connection between workouts and will never recognize the machine again until I unplug and restart the machine.

Upon restarting the machine, it re-connects and always says it is syncing workouts “with bad data or dates”. <<— message received from machine.

This never happened on the previous app that it told me was no longer good.

Please fix this. I love the Bowflex M5 that I have and I’m getting great workouts with it. But this app is really bad.

Secondly, I would like to request a graph-range feature: allow for the week graph view to have a “weeks” view of more than just one week and allow for them to be cross months. How about adding a pinch-to-zoom feature to allow the days-weeks-months. This would help tremendously to see patterns flowing from one week to the next. From one month to the next.

Thank you.

UPDATE: not sure how to respond to the developer when the Developer Response doesn’t match the issues I’m having. What are you talking about “wrong date”?? The date is fine, the errors and messages and not Syncing is bad.

I recently purchased an M5. I plugged the machine in and opened the app. Set myself as user 1. It did not sync the fitness test. I did the fat burn preset workout and afterwords pressed the sync button and it worked fine. I added user 2 and it synced their workout as well with no issues.

If you’re having issues after the workout is complete open the app and press the sync button it will sync the workout it doesn’t do it automatically. Also unplug the machine when it’s not in use. It’s not meant to be powered up all the time. I unplug mine completely.

I have been using the Bowflex M5 Max Trainer with this app for two years. It’s terrible! You can’t delete workouts or reassign them to the correct users. If someone else gets on the trainer and doesn’t remember to switch the user it syncs their workout to your profile. You can’t correct it. I’ve reached out to support a few times and you’ll be lucky if you even get a reply.

I make software for a living and can say with certainty that they don’t care about the app. It’s just a gimmick for marketing verbiage. You can’t sync it to Apple health any longer. Just says disabled and there is no method to address the issue, support doesn’t reply, you can’t edit workouts or adjust which user they are correlated with, etc. etc. etc.

It doesn’t have many features. I’d like there to be motivational videos to go along with the programs. (Perhaps, give tips on how to maximize the workouts?)

But my biggest disappointment is the app crashes on me constantly. I open the app to save my workout, it closes out. It’s hard and takes forever to save a workout without it constantly closing itself out....

I’ve even tried uninstalling then reinstalling. My phone is up to date with updates. No idea what else to do to make it work....

The Good

Great work out and industrial design behind the machine. App syncs perfectly every time and the machine is well built.

The Bad (or missing)

The App is missing two very significant features: the ability to track fitness score over time and the ability to capture/review heart rate data. The Max Trainer is all about heart rate level and it was very disappointing not to have that data available. The app only gives you Avg heart rate after the workout-very lame.

What would help is if the heart rate strap could sync to other apps in parallel, which it does not. It will sync with MyFitnessPal only after the workout and again only sends avg heart rate. I have actually worn two straps to get this data.

Wish this app was better. Half the time the workout I just completed won’t sync to the app. No new workouts found is a little frustrating when I’m still sweating from the workout! I thought I might need to wait a few minutes.....Nope. Still no new workout. So I was even more patient and waited an hour.....Nope. This has happened every other time I’ve tried syncing the workout. I made sure that I was on the correct user, don’t know what else to do. Please fix it! It would be so useful if it worked the way I’m sure it was designed to.

It does exactly what I want it to do. It kerp track if all my workouts, the amount if calories, the length if workout, the per minute calorie burn rate, and you can sets goals, and so much more! It is nothing fancy but it does what is was made to do!! Bluetooth connects super fast and syncs your daily workout, again just like it was nade to do!!

The app syncs every time now with no issues, I’m using an iPhone X. Wish there was Apple Gym Kit for better syncing calories burned with the Apple Watch. Best exercise on the Apple Watch for the Max Trainer is the Elliptical workout which, is no where close to the actual calories burned on the Max Trainer. If not Apple Gym Kit, at least a workout on the Apple Watch that can keep up with actual calories burned.

Overall, i think it's a good app and helps me keep my goals. i would like to see an update that works with the apple watch or just a general update/refresh. right now i get two completely different results when i workout on my max trainer m5 and my apple watch. Also maybe the awards screen be cleaned up a little.
