Ability to use both kilograms and pounds in customisation field.
My gym has equipment from several different vendors. Sometimes the equipment measures in pounds and on other machines it measures in kilos. This makes it difficult to specify what machines I can use as if the app is set to kilos, I can't enter that on a machine that uses Lbs. If we could specify in an exercise that this particular machine uses Lbs and not kilos, that would be quite useful for me.
Eve: Sync weight with apple health (or MyFitnessPal)
Ideally, it should not ask me for my weight. It should link to apple health to look for my weight. If I don’t have apple health or My Fitness Pal, or other apps, then it should ask what my weight is. I also think taking into consideration active energy is important.

Body weight (scale) measurements and bodyfat % estimator
weight measurements - there are scales in the gym, might be nice to be able to record that
bodyfat % estimator: ok i'm pushing the boat out here, but as with recording weight measurements you could have similar entries for caliper measurements, then your AI can do the donkey work of calculating bodyfat %. It doesn't matter so much that the calculation can be inaccurate as it is the progression that lets you know how you are progressing, and people judge their final destination not by a number but by how they look in the mirror.
Thanks for voting for this feature -- it's in beta! We've already implemented body weight tracking and coaching (with goals, calories, and macros). A few of you also requested we add bodyfat % tracking and estimates. If that's still a priority for you, please vote for that feature here: https://muscle.userecho.com/en/communities/1/topics/431-track-and-estimate-bodyfat

Muscle groups should be divided even more
Muscle groups like the back should be divided into lats, upper back, mid back and lower back for more targeted exercises, but that applies to all muscle groups, such as chest, biceps, triceps, legs, core, shoulders etc.
Thanks for voting for this feature -- it's in beta! From the announcement:
You asked. We listened. With this update, we introduce the “Lower back, glutes & hamstrings” body part. These muscles often work together. So much so, they’re often called the “posterior chain”. So, it made sense to group them as one. This group now includes exercises we previously listed as “back” or “legs”. Like the deadlift and its variations. Splitting up body parts is one of our top requested feature, so if there are other body parts you’d like to see in Dr. Muscle, now’s the time to speak up. Let us know on our feedback site at https://muscle.userecho.com/en/communities/1/topics/284-muscle-groups-should-be-divided-even-more. Thanks!

Thanks for voting for this feature -- level 1 is in beta! Levels 2-7 are coming soon. From the announcement:
Push/Pull/Legs split program is one of our top requested features, so I’m super excited to announce it today! With this version coming up in beta, you’ll be able to select Push/Pull/Legs from the list of gym or home gym workouts under the Exercise tab. With this split, you’ll be training 6 times a week, hitting each body part twice a week. It’s an advanced split best suited for lifters who have a lot of time on their hand—and who want to squeeze every last bit of gains from their workouts by training more often and performing more exercises in a fresh state.

Dark mode option
Dark mode would definitely be a great option in the new update. Loving the app so far :)
more detailed equipment choices during questionnaire
When going through the initial questionnaire, I feel that a lot more detail is needed in the choice of equipment. Now I'm not expecting every piece of equipment ever, but if you choose gym, the dropdown choices should at least include a squat rack, incline/decline bench, lat pulldown machine, leg curl and leg extension. I know technically they fall under the category of pulleys etc, but basic gym equipment should be a choice. Along the same lines, I work out at home as well, and there should be more options. For example, instead of just dumbbells and bodyweight, I have a flat and incline bench.
Hi guys,
Thanks for your honest feedback. I appreciate it, and I can confirm we're committed to enhancing the equipment customization feature to better meet your needs.
We are constantly working on improving the app, and we continue to release new updates every week (https://dr-muscle.com/timeline). Recently, we have focused on enhancing the cardio feature based on a suggestion that received about twice the votes as this one.
I get that detailed equipment choices are important to you. Balancing everyone's demands can be challenging, and we continue to prioritize implementing suggestions with the highest number of votes to benefit the majority of our users.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. I look forward to improving this feature for you.
Best,
Carl
Garmin watch integration
“You can now save sets and workouts on your watch.”
I would want to see the same capabilities and more :)
The real dream, is to start and finish all the workout. With the timer countdown and so on...
I also, wonders if a cardio feature could be included in Dr.Muscle; I’m referring to reports. If there was an integrated cardio watch that sent info to the Dr.M app. We could see cardio fitness etc. I also would include cardio recording through the works out. Not just the HIIT section. As I do switch up weights and resistance with speed reps etc.which puts my heart rate up.
Having a cell or tablet. Is great. However one has to put it in a safe place, away from weights and off the floor; and go to and from the device. If you’re in a public gym, which I’m not! It might be more of a challenge. Even just to hear the “ding” lol. The watch would vibrate and ding!
Hence why, I wear a watch. It’s with me! The garmin has 100’s of Apps. Wish Dr.Muscle was one :)
Cheers,
Kevin Gale
Improve app speed
As a product manager in tech myself, I have a piece of generic feedback which I think should be on the top of your list of priorities: app performance and speed. When you're using something daily even the slightest delays in loading can get quite frustrating. Quite often, the app will have to load for seconds when switching between screens or going from one exercise to another, even finishing sets will sometimes cause noticeable delays. I totally understand that it's still a beta app and there are many other important features to add, but speed and performance, quick loading and overall "smoothness" will improve the user experience tenfold! Please consider working more on that in the future :)

Thanks for voting for this feature -- it's done!
You can now work out with fewer and shorter load times. In our tests, the app now loads 36% faster (opening a workout, doing 4 sets of an exercise, and saving it now takes 31 seconds, down from 48).
If you're on Android, you can update now. If you're on iPhone, you'll have to wait 2-3 days for Apple to approve it. To update:
- Open the store app on your phone
- Search for Dr. Muscle
- Tap update
We have more speed improvements coming up, but I'll mark this suggestion as completed today. Now would be a great time to suggest and vote for our next feature. If you'd like to do that, please visit: https://muscle.userecho.com/communities/1-submit-your-feedback/topics#.
