Training App (MyStrengthBook)

The app itself works really well. No issues for me, loads fine, data input it fine, receives programs from coach no problem. Took a star off because the apple health integration refuses to stay connected no matter what I do. Every day I have to reconnect this app to apple health so my sleep/macros/calories will populate. Would love to see this fixed!

It seems that most reviews of this app are old and negative, and I’d like to add a current one. This app is great. Fully customizable, tons of cool built in features, and better support than most apps in this niche. I put off switching from TrainHeroic for years, and having made the switch I couldn’t be happier with the more rich featureset on mystrengthbook. I recommend this app to any coach looking for a high quality training app

Why is there not a version of the app for coaches, how does that make sense? I have to log on through a web browser and 1/3 of the time it won’t let me get past the login page. Just says it’s loading for ~5 minutes and then nothing happens.

I was looking around for a strength training tracker/planner that isn't bogged down with microtransactions and all that junk. Just be warned, don't glance too quickly over the description. This isn't an application you can use as an individual. It requires someone else to pay a subscription so you can use it, or something. I don't know. It's not 100% clear their whole setup. So, for most people just looking for tools to help them, this wont help ya.

Unless I have full bars or on wifi, it seems I can’t sign in

This app would be awesome if it works. My phone (running iOS 14.6) can’t get past the login screen. Sometimes if I remove the app and reload it I can get it to work ONCE before it won’t let me log in any more. And often when it works basic functions like clicking buttons to mark sets as finished won’t function. I’m hopeful that the app gets fixed soon, as I’m having to request my workouts be sent over email so I don’t waste my time at the gym fighting my phone (or worse just making up my own workout when the app just won’t work at all). Given that this really isn’t a free app (we pay our trainers and they pay MyStrengthBook) I expect a LOT more.

I’ve been using it for a few months now, and while it’s a great app when it works, there have been some frustrating glitches. Woke up this morning to lift, and I can’t even get into the program my coach sent me- the app wouldn’t even let me get past putting my login email.

Tried this for a day. It’s pretty low on features for actually logging your workout. And that one feature doesn’t even work. Saving comments for one day wrote those comments to a previous day. Trying again just overwrote the entered comments still on the wrong day. I’m sure the data analysis is cool but the data collection is so bad I’ll never know

When attempting to upload clips edited in the new iOS update, it uploads the entire video instead of the edited clip, due to how apple is storing the clips now. Also, I’d really like an easy way to see what lifts I’ve done at what weight recently, other than going to old days and finding them. A lift history that list some like: Squat| 10/1/19 | 3x4 | 380 | rpe 7 Would be useful to look at different set/rep/rpe schemes to determine a lift goal.

Downloaded and started using this today with my coach. Whenever I add a comment to my lift in the notes area within the calendar, the weight I previously entered will change when I save my note and go back to the calendar view. I found myself having to change weights back to my original entry at least a dozen times throughout my workout. Frustrating.
