UPDATE: I reached out to the creator about my first concern below. Within 5 days, there was an update available (1.3) that includes sets and the ability to have a rest between them, along with the ability to announce which set you’re on (plus a few other features). This is the best support I can possibly imagine. The new features work great, and I haven’t seen issue #2 since I updated the app (it wasn’t bad at all even when it happened, and it wouldn’t stop me from wholeheartedly recommending this app). Bottom line: I have zero complaints about this app. It works great and has the features I need. I would highly recommend it to anyone. It’s improved my physical therapy experience significantly, and it could also be very useful for exercising in general. Don’t miss out!
Original review: If you’re looking for an app to time and count physical therapy exercises for you, this is a great one for the cost. It’s simple to use and effective. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR IPHONE RINGER ON. Otherwise, the audio cues will not work. I really only have two complaints. 1) There is no way to include sets. You can set up reps and breaks, but you can’t do a set of 10 and then have a 5 second break before automatically doing another set. 2) Twice the app has crashed and deleted a couple of my exercises that I just barely put in. However, it has now seemed to stabilize now that I’m not adding new exercises, so this isn’t a huge problem. When I reached out to the creator about my first complaint, he responded very quickly and said he would let me know when he had added the functionality. In the meantime, there are ways around it (e.g., put in 10 reps and and a 5 second break, then restart the exercise for each set). The support for the app is the best I’ve ever seen. Very prompt, professional, and thorough. The other apps I looked at (I looked at 3-4) cost more (or required a monthly subscription) or didn’t do what I wanted. This app isn’t quite perfect, but it does the vast majority of what I need for a very reasonable price, and the creator is open to improving it. I would recommend it.
