Crimpd

App is nice and helps me track my training. My only issue is the lack of functionality without internet, that is weird since the information on the app looks quite static. I also would like to be able to add custom exercises.

The app was great initially, but I don’t know where along the lines we lost the ability of having custom training sessions. Now the only sessions that are available are the handful of sessions they have set up themselves which doesn’t always coincide with what or how I want to train. You used to be able to make custom workouts but you can’t anymore, or at least I can’t seem to figure out how to get it done anymore. I get that they want to collect the data in a standardized way, but taking out this functionality basically means that the app is useless for me.

Amazing app. Initially unable to log in. Mailed the developer and he immediately pushed a new version that fixed the issue. Only thing id love to see is a custom hangboard format where you can define your own rules and setup.

Love it! Would love to have weighted pull-ups in there as well. ;)

I think the app has been great thus far for tracking my daily hang boarding routine! However, if I’m doing my sets while listening to music through my headphones, the music will pause at the beep countdowns, at around 3s. Even after turning the Crimpd sound level all the way down in the settings, I still find that about 50% of the time, my music will continue playing fully and the other 50 it will pause. A minor issue, but it would be great if the devs could take a look!

I tried the lactate curve test and now I can’t stop lactating! It’s fantastic for anyone looking to improve on or off the wall!

I am a month into regular use of this app. The programs are basic and straightforward, as are the exercises. It doesn’t take long to figure out the structure of all program templates (beginner to elite) as they are quite simple. My low rating is due to the overwhelming lack of detail in these programs and glaring shortcuts in the app’s design. Workout videos are poorly made and lacking in technique and instructional value. Details such as what constitutes a single rep in a multi-movement exercise is omitted. The timer has a countdown feature which is slightly and frustratingly off for timed rest and reps when there is little turnaround time. The scheduling template for workouts is clunky and not particularly straightforward. Users are forced to manage their own load by scheduling their workouts with very little guidance. On rest weeks half workout are often prescribed but the load/ reps in the workout will not adjust for that change in load. Overall, the simplicity of the programs benefits beginners. However, the necessity and complexities of managing your workout load throughout the week makes this app very hard/potentially harmful for said beginner. This app design would be impressive if made by a hobbyist but otherwise is poorly designed. Please save your money and hire a qualified coach or invest in other training resources!

Really good training app. Having a structured plan has certainly helped me improve my finger and core strength. I have been using crimpd plus and it’s been worth the cost, but you can still get a lot out of the app by just using the free stuff. Recommendation: Integrate with HealthKit and/or Strava. A lot of people cross train with other apps and having a central point to store a combined log (with detailed data) is nice. Add the ability to connect to external heart rate sensors Consider an Apple Watch app

Fantastic app, exactly what you need to climb harder. Tons of workouts, easy to use, and Crimpd+ is a great resource to take a methodical approach to improving specific climbing skills.

I have had the app for a while but started using it consistently the past couple months. It’s great. I have trouble keeping a scheduled planned training plan which this app offers, but it also offers training sessions and breaks them down by several categories so when I’m training I can pick what I want to train. Also it gives a break down of different areas I’ve trained. I highly recommend this app. It helps you measure, log and gives you exercises to do. I am a casual climber in my late 40’s and I have never climbed better. Get the app and subscribe.
