TrueCoach For Clients Hack 12.4.0 + Redeem Codes

The new UX design in Version 11 is a diaster. Here's why: - Too many button clicks to enter workout results - Font choice and size for workout results is too small and hard to read, Why make it different? - Can no longer collapse videos and hide them, results in accidental taps that start playing them when you don't want to - Color choices don't work, too many colors that don't work together. There is gray, aqua, purple, light aqua, blue. It's visually UNAPPEALING to look at! - Too many buttons/blocks that look/feel the same, makes it hard to navigate - Eliminating swiping left to right to get to next exercise, now you have to scroll up and down, which make it hard to keep track of where you are and makes it hard to navigate. - Can't see if you have a comment on a workout? They burried that, under a button click

As a coach, my primary concern in choosing a software to deliver my programming and store data is to not only ensure that I can store & deliver everything in a single location, but also to ensure the app is easy to navigate on the part of the client. While this was the case up until today, the new update now acts as a barrier of entry to any new clients looking to work with me. The last thing a client wants to do is be forced to invest time into learning a new app before they even train but that is exactly what the new update does. The busy interface floods the user with so much stimuli, buttons and options that you cannot be sure where one exercise ends and a circuit begins. As a coach who frequently works with clients new to training and working out, the previous version was easy for anyone to use. Following the recent update however, clients have been messaging and dm’ing me confused how to read or navigate their workouts. Take into account the fact that these are clients who have used the app for months to years of training with me, are well versed how to read a workout, and that should tell you everything you need to know regarding the update. I’m a big fan of truecoach formerly but the client comes first and the most recent update is by no means a client-centered version.

Font seems even smaller and for sure thinner, so hard to read. Videos start way too easily just by scrolling. I don’t like how the entire workout is one scroll. Much easier to navigate the super sets via swiping. This way I easily know I’ve done everything in my super set before starting the next super set. Updating notes on the workout is now an extra touch which I don’t like and I lose efficiency. I also don’t like how the day of the week is missing on the summary of the week. It used to be there. The date doesn’t help me. The day of the week does, so I need both. Also, the comments on past workouts used to be easy to read and find. Now, they are hard to find the icon and have to add an extra step to touch them and find them and read them. I used to always review the entire workout on the main for each superset to review my comments, the new layout is so busy it is hard to do and again, if I actually touch the video it starts to play. It’s also an extra step to find and complete a workout if you don’t make comments. Unfortunately, there is nothing I like about the new app, PLEASE revert back. Thank you.

Overall, the app is pretty good. It makes communication with a coach very easy for remote relationships. The only improvement that would be awesome is to change the data entry for workout results so that looking back at history is easier. It would be awesome if, when I hit exercise history, it gave me a variety of stats: max 1-rep, maybe 3x3, 5x5, or a graph of recent history with the lift...everything in a single window or with minimal scrolling...and if I wanted to read all the comments, I could scroll to my hearts content. The lift history is a little bit of a pain since you have to scroll so much just to see the last few weeks. Hard to see trends, etc. again, the app is really good. This type of improvement would take it from 90% to 100%, in my opinion.

The big update they released ages ago continues to be an unmitigated disaster.

No autocorrect

Video upload takes forever to start

Can’t write longer than the window

Video completion ends text input, erases what you wrote, and dumps you back to main screen

Scrolling is completely broken. Often when you are trying to write the app autoscrolls off view. Post 4 videos on one exercises and then try to type - the view will try to include the videos

The history button takes you to the workout instead of the comments which is what you want 99% of the time

Can’t seem to remove videos or images from the app

Using the computer and the app at the same time causes them to overwrite each other. The app clearly does not follow the ACID principal like it should. At a minimum isolation should work for this use case

The screen frequently moves such that the add video button is not visible. When it is visible it is frequently unclickable

Leaving the app usually causes video upload to fail

Workouts do not autocomplete when there are entries for each exercise

If you look at history, you can’t comment for some reason

Pressing the save button too quickly after uploading a video causes the video upload to halt. My best guess is this is an async call in your app and there isn’t a mutex or lock somewhere to make sure a page can’t close before the video upload begins

New update and UI is terrible. Went from a clean squarespace website to a custom MySpace page with an annoying playlist. A few things: entering exercise data doesn’t mark an exercise as complete, auto play videos while viewing a workout, can’t swipe between exercises in one workout, TOO MANY FONTS ON ONE PAGE (inaccessible), too many bubbles, buttons, and added boxes to enter data (it’s now double clicks to enter notes), unnecessary animations upon completing a workout, typewriter serif fonts (Inaccessible), now have to video upload ONE BY ONE and wait for each video to finish compressing, comments per workout do not load in order(Sometimes new messages populate at the top, MIDDLE, or bottom in the same thread), The button to add a comment for a workout is tiny and hard to click, clicking the banner notification no longer pulls me to the workout where my coach commented (now I have to manually check all messages areas to find it).

I normally do not take time to review apps, because I have a busy life and do not have time in my schedule to waste.
But with how down hill this app has gone I had to let others know to warn them.
They have new ownership and ever since that happened things have gone down to the pits.

The app worked fine for 2+ years.
Now they changed everything and half the stuff will not work any more. It is more of a hassle than helpful to use this app.
The videos will not load.
The input of activity glitches.
It shuts down on you in the middle of doing stuff.

When you tell their “team” about it they take a long time to respond. Than they have no idea what to do so they ask you a bunch of “troubleshooting” questions.
So I humor them and respond.
But the amount of time I have spent responding to their questions, sending screen records, ect…has been too much.
I have been doing thier job for them. I need to be on their payroll at this point.
When you put out an update it is the developers responsibility to test it first. It is CLEAR they do not do this.
They refuse to just fix the issue and it is obvious they are just muddling through it and have no idea what they are doing.
Waste of my time. Don’t bother. Find another route.

I’ve really loved using TrueCoach as a coach and for my clients. I chose this platform for virtual coaching specifically because it was so simple and user friendly (from a client perspective) which is what I care most about. The new updates have made even my clients who are familiar with the app, confused. The automatic or sensitive video plays are super annoying for myself and for clients who are listening to music, then having it switched off as the video starts, even when you didn’t want to. The toggle and results section is very busy looking and supersets are harder to decipher. I’ve talked to several other coaches who use this app and the sentiment is the same. I hope you’re working on fixing these things, or even going back to the older model. I really don’t want to have to switch to another training app.

So many features that I loved about the old version are now gone, and there are zero new features that I like about the update. It seems like no one took any actual coach or athlete feedback into account when creating this new version. I liked being able to read my comments on the same screen as my workou. That's no longer possible. I liked being able to to see my entire workout with sets and reps included without having to scroll. That's no longer possible. I liked being able to delete a video if I uploaded the wrong one by accident. That's no longer possible. The only thing that seems "improved" is the overall UI, and I would argue taht it has been changed for the worst. IAfter talking to my teammates we all agree taht the old version was far superior to this updated version. Please change it back 😊
