Sidekick: Running Recovery

I truly, truly loved this app!! Every session is so good and I’m glad they always offer to receive comments on what you did or didn’t like, and take notes your most liked stretch and offering it more often! The videos are rlly well made and well explanatory! The voice is soothing and so helpful. I actually miss it when I don’t have time to use it, a truly hidden gem of an app!!! My only small complain as of May 28th, is the new update.. before it was rlly intuitive and fast to set up a session and I was able to see the entire option os stretches on the body, right now is rlly.. counter-productive, it’s harder to see the options and set it up. I like the badges being more visible but I also do miss the big button to start the session.. it’s pretty new interface, but a little annoying..

I started to use Sidekick app a few weeks ago for my shoulder injury. I never expected I could get some great outcomes from their recovery sessions. But I’m quite surprised by their high-quality contents. I’ve been using the app everyday and my shoulder definitely recovered a lot faster. I noticed the company also provides hardware tools. I’m thinking of buying one to try out. Well done Sidekick!

A great way to stay on top of my mobility routine by following the personalized Guided Recovery programs. Super easy to set up and get started.

Go on YouTube & search from there to learn how to use because this app is locked unless you’re a paid subscriber. • Some of the buttons overlap others. • No back button. • Lags when selecting a button.

App goes down for extended periods of time where it just hangs at the loading screen. Since Sept this is the 2nd 2+ week outage of the app. Support says they’re working on it and also states annual plans cannot be partially reimbursed. I’ve canceled my subscription and will not use this app .. which since it’s down I can’t if I wanted to.

This used to be a quality mobility app but now the features are so broken that it seems like whoever runs this company has completely given up on the app. I’ve saved several mobility and scraping sessions to correspond with my workouts and I’m not able to play any of them back so that feature is absolutely worthless and that was one of the main sellers of this app for me.

This is the best mobility app. I’ve tried GOWOD and Wodproof to compare all recovery apps & really didn’t enjoy the experience due to the lack of narration i was rewinding constantly to ensure i was doing the exercises right and the timer starts before you get in position. This app doesn’t have those issues. I love that it also loops through exercises so i can set up the phone and strictly stretch/warm up etc. it also has recovery tools videos which is unique with how to scrape properly. I like the tracking system too, helps me stay consistent without too many extra features

I have an account on the website, but it won’t log me in on this app. Are the accounts two different ones??

If you’re like me, I’ve been constantly looking for a warm up tool that isn’t yoga. Before I workout I just open this app and press play! There’s a default program that I use but you can always change the settings. I do a quick 10 min warm up. If I’m feeling sore after my regular workout then I just do a cool down to relax my muscles. I’ve got to say, this is a time saver and an excellent way to have a great workout! Kudos to the developers!
