Colorize the buttons
While I appreciate the slick appearance of the app, it would be helpful if after completing a set the three buttons looked a little different (different colors?). When I'm not thinking clearly because all the blood has left my head and is in my muscles, I tend to hit the wrong button. If they looked a little different (white button, black font?), then maybe I'd make less errors.

Wow! Almost looks like you read our minds with that suggestion. We've already done somthing similar! Currently in alpha; will get rolled out with the next update. Have a look:


We might switch that layout around a bit; but like you suggested, when all your sets are done, the "Finish exercise" button will be emphasised, and the others won't.
Thanks for your suggestion! I'm marking this one as complete. Will get back to you later re other suggestions.

Make it more efficient because it drains my battery
Make it more efficient because currently it drains my battery more than any other app. I’ve had to purchase an additional Mophie battery case just to use while I’m working out.

Guidance for supersets
I would like to see guidance for supersets. Meaning which lifts are best to combine and what are the rest intervals when using supersets.

Full training plan descriptions
I would like to see easy access to the full training plan descriptions (e.g. Upper/Lower pattern vs. full body patterns)

Switch between workouts
I can't switch between workouts. Sometimes my work makes me need to switch upper and lower body, like I tweak a wrist or slightly pulled a hamstring. If I want to switch I have to just do it on my own. It would be great if I could choose upper or lower body.

Airplane mode
Hi
I like to switch my phone to airplane mode while training but if I do now the app show a white screen only and hangs.

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for that suggestion. You're getting this issue because the app doesn't work offline at this time. If you'd like it to work offline, please vote for this feature instead: https://muscle.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/79-offline-access. It's already been suggested and voted on, so you'll get what you want faster by voting there ;)
I'm marking this one as "Completed".
All the best,

Explain changes in programming and why they are being made
I would like the app to be a little more interactive. For example explaining the changes in programming and why they have been made. This way you could also learn programming on the fly. Pretty sweet if you ask me. :-)

History > Logs page missing some exercise names
When viewing the Logs page under History, some exercises are missing the names. For example, here's my log page which is missing the Deadlift.
I'm using the iPhone 8+ with the latest Apple update.

This one is now fixed! Logs now show all exercises and all sets on iOS. The update is in beta on Android and under review by Apple (give it 1-2 days). To update, visit the app store app on your phone, search for Dr. Muscle, and tap "update".

Stretch background image to fit the full screen (iPhone 7 Plus)
The image doesn't stretch to fit the whole screen, so it tiles and repeats towards the right edge.

Hi Mac,
We've rolled out this one about a month ago, so I'm marking it as completed. If you still notice a bug, please follow up with us.
Thanks for your suggestion, and for helping to improve the app. Really appreciate your support. If you'd like to vote for our next feature, see https://muscle.userecho.com/communities/1-submit-your-feedback/topics#.

Rest periods for compound movements
I just did the lower body workout, and deadlifts were included.
I noticed two things that was a bit different for me from what I'm used to from my previous training.
1. The rep range was quite high for the deadlift. I'm not saying it's good/bad, I'm just wondering if the AI takes this into considerations when suggesting a weight and rep? For instance, I wouldn't find it strange to do say 15 reps for cable crunch, but I would find it strange for deadlifts. I haven't had time to try out Dr.Muscle more, but I'll keep an eye out for this in my coming workout. Do you know if the rep ranges are equal to all of the movements?
2. The rest period for deadlift was very short. The same applies here, for a compound movement it's much harder to recover within 50 seconds where it's fine for biceps curls for instance. Is there any plan to adapt the rest periods based on the movement?

Hi guys!
Welcome to Dr. Muscle! And great question.
Yes, by default, all exercises are in the same rep range. But there's an easy way to customize that: http://drmuscleapp.com/news/custom-rep-range/. I even mentioned the deadlift by name in our demo video:
Tomislav, you also mentioned that the rest period for the deadlift was very short. You noticed 50 seconds. Right now, that's how much rest you get between your second (and last) warm-up set and your first work set. In fact, between work sets, it's only 25 seconds. The rest is only 25 seconds because by default, Dr. Muscle use the rest-pause method: http://drmuscleapp.com/news/rest-pause/. It's been shown to build just as much muscle in half the workout time.
If you'd rather not use rest-pause for deadlift, simply toggle off the "automatch reps" option in your timer menu (top-right). That way, you'll be able to rest for as long as you want between you sets of deadlift.
Does that make sense guys? I'll mark this question as "answered" for now, but I truly wanna make your experience with us a solid 10/10, so if you have any more questions, please write again here or in our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/drmuscle/.
Cheers!
