Great timer and pacing options through the exercises. I like how reps and times and rest times are fully customizable with a timer. The downsideIt really needs a search function to get to those exercises. My custom made rehab routines (that my therapist gave me on a paper copy and I inputed) sometimes are randomly deleted. Other weird bugs too. Overall a good app and worth it.
I really love the sounds for the counters. There really needs to be a search function. It's hard to tell what catagory a new exercise is in to be able to add. The reminders aren't great. There needs to be a cancel or snooze option.
I love this app..had it for over 3 years to help with my back pain. I don't have to look at the timer, count my reps or sets..it does for me. Wish it had more advanced features, like setting up several work out routines instead of just one.
I received a personalized program that's designed to help me strengthen the weaknesses in my core and back due to a Cycling related injury. I most appreciate the count down timer and set counter. I have a lot of work ahead of me and I am excited to do it. This is a very useful app.
I like the option of making my own exercise. Really user-friendly. Only thing I would like is a "search" option to find exercises.
Very useful and informative. It has every exercise conceivable. It makes performing PT ready and enjoyable.
worked great. love the options for reps rest hold times. 5th star if there was a dashboard that showed your % done everyday or a way to export your workout history.
Awesome easy to use, just would love better ways to sort and search!
Most things too quick. Both in actual movement and in prep time for next position
Helps you though the workout, but could use 1 sec more for the reset
Wonderful. Counts for you and has hold times. User friendly
Has helped me find relief
Since my last review the app has received a lot of exercises. Very helpful for a PT. It helps me a lot every day Good job :)
2020 Update. Using it again. Great customer service. I had an issue and Fred helped me via email. Solved! 2017 review: Solid. Easy to setup and use. One more star when I can personalize the order and group exercises (AM/PM). <----- Done.
Very useful! Began with my prescribed PT exercises, gradually added many others, learned lots!
Just as others have said, you can match the exercises with what you get from the PT, save them as favorite and your therapy is set and you can set up # of reps, sets and it does the counting for you. Great Tech support as well.
All exercises are in one place...no more hunting down loose papers...especially after PT is over and you are on your own.
I like it because I don't have to mess around with papers and it does all the counting for you
Helps me remember how to do the exercises and when to do them. Notifications are subtle yet useful.
Great physical therapy app!
Great app? Need timer for Android users!
It's a good idea for an app but needs some features that wouldn't be hard to implement, especially in a paid app. I'm supposed to do exercises twice per day, which is not unusual, and I can only set one reminder. When I emailed using the address it bounced. Can't reorder the exercises and just create a single list.
I'll definitely be using this app in my recovery from foot surgery. Thank you.
Best apps
After setting up a list of favorite exercises, the app glitches after completing a set, and does not move onto the next exercise. It worked the first time, but hasn't since. I have tried to fix it by reinstalling the app, but the same issue persists. There doesn't seem to be any recent app updates either. UPDATE: After a few e-mail exchanges, we were able to resolve the issue. App is working smoothly! Tech response was prompt and helpful.
