More bodyweight programs
The app is fine, but it needs a lot more than 4 bodyweight programs. 10 would be minimum.
Workout editor: Make editing workouts easier
The number one change I would make for the editor would to have it all happen on one page. Rather then have it go to a page where you choose what exercises to include, and then a page where you decide the order, I would have the basic page where you add exercises, and then when you press the editor button you stay on the same page but can now just drag and drop the exercises, and maybe press a button or Swipe left or right to get rid of an exercise.
Calories burnt
Would love to be able to see calories burnt during different time intervals. Last week, month and so on.
When changing language, doesn't fully change back.
When I change my language to German for instance, then back to english, it works while I have the app open, but next time part of the app is still in German.
Logging body measurements
The app asks the user to log weight and body fat percentage. Since I don't have a reliable way of measuring my body fat, I have left the box blank. I have dropped weight, but the app says that since I haven't logged my body fat, I might be losing muscle instead of fat. My waist has shrunk so I know that I have lost body fat, but there is no way to tell the app that.
How about adding a box for some body measurements? After all, health wise the waist measurement is more important than fat percentage, and you can easily measure your body measurements, but getting reliable body fat percentage requires some speciality equipment, or you have to pay to get it measured. I have one of thise cheap electric measuring devices, but it is far from reliable.
Even if you are not trying to lose fat, it still could be useful to record the measurements.
Thanks for that suggestion Seppo. I'm happy to say it already has some votes at https://muscle.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/420-add-more-body-metrics-besides-weight.
So I copied your comments there and voted on it on your behalf. I'm going to mark this one as a duplicate and close it down.
Keep the feedback coming!
Best,

Warm-up as as part of the main workout
Having my warmup be a part of the main workout would be beneficial to me in a small, busy gym as sometimes I'll have to do things in a strange order.
Rowing machine
Setting up the exercise on the rowing machine. We have two criteria in the application: time and speed. The time is shown either by the machine or separately, but not all rowing machines tell you the speed. Some have speed steps, others have an electronic display and show you the power in watts. Could we have other criteria for measuring effort besides "speed"? And in the current case what does the speed refer to, in kilometers/miles per hour or is it a preset gear of the device?
Hi Ovi,
Thank you for your suggestion.
We understand that different machines have varying displays and metrics, which can sometimes create confusion.
Yes, we could incorporate additional criteria for measuring effort beyond just speed and time. For instance, distance can also be a valuable metric to track during rowing sessions. It's been voted on already at: Adding Detailed Cardio.
To clarify your question about speed: it can refer to different units depending on your machine. If your rowing machine displays speed in kilometers per hour (km/h), you can use that measurement directly. If it uses a preset gear system, you can input the corresponding speed value as best suited to your workout.
Thanks again for your feedback. I look forward to seeing this get more votes.

Make skipping or missing workouts more intuitive
I would recommend adding something to app that makes this process more transparent and intuitive...maybe a pop-up message the first time you open the app after missing a workout, or not completing a workout. The message could be something like "hey, we noticed that you missed your full body workout on (enter date) and this is your first time back since then. Do you want to do that workout now? " Then if you respond yes there could be a follow-on message like "We noticed that normally you have 48hrs rest between workouts and if you exercise today, you won't have the recommended recovery time. Do you want us to shift (enter whatever workouts are affected) for you do the following dates (enter dates).
Of note, after having done my work out a day later than planned, the app didn't shift things for me. I opened it yesterday (Saturday) planning to do my Friday workout and the app didn't recommend anything. It was telling me to wait until Monday to training despite not having worked out since Thursday. Again, my primary issue with the app is that it isn't an intuitive experience if you miss or don't complete a workout. It might be something useful but it isn't clear to me...maybe it's just me.
