HYBRID | Strength Coach

there is a problem on the news update on percentages

The program is awesome. I’ve seen serious results. This app is atrocious. You have to slowly press your reps and weights. If you hit it too fast the window closes and you have to start over. The timer never works once you open another app. i.e. if you want to change your song. The app functionality HMI is some of the worst I have seen.

The training programs are excellent for reaching your training goals. However, the app’s web-based format and terrible connection to its servers make it a kick in the shins to use. Some of the data entered doesn’t save because the app is constantly (90% of the time) stating that there is either no internet connection or that it’s lost connection to the servers. Hybrid, please improve the stability, platform, server connection, and user interface experience. I know this isn’t your only review about this issue. I would usually not comment on any of these issues, but since this is a subscription-based program, I feel that feedback is vital to the users’ experience with your app.

Previously a long time hybrid user and fan. Returned recently after a short break and am not liking the app nor how the programs are offered. You can’t pick your workout days or advance to the next week on your own. If you pay 1 year in advance for the discount you are stuck with that program for an ENTIRE YEAR. The notes area is very finicky and hard to write in (constantly deletes). It’s a good price point and the actual workouts are great, I’d just like them to fix the bugs and make it more user friendly.

The programs seem to be effective, however some of the exercises don’t match up with the videos on some warmups/workouts. For example I have lat pulldowns but the video is of a row.

The app does not function well

When the app actually manages to load I love it. But the app takes forever to load to the point where I don’t even have the time to train what’s scheduled and end up doing my own thing so I can actually get a lift in that day.

It’s loading forever and access my program

Every time the app updates it is loaded with bugs. Check your app before heading to the gym to ensure it works. Programming is great but app not so much.

Timer disappears if you try to look at anything in the app and pauses if you turn off your phone screen. Notes section deletes what I type and sometimes adds it again. Other times I have to type it just for what I previously typed to pop up again. Kind of annoying. Edit: improvements to the notes and the reps and weight have vastly improved. The timer now stays on when the screen is off. All of my complaints have been addressed and fixed.
