The update is now public and available on Android and under review by Apple (give it 2-3 days). To update, visit the app store app on your phone, search for Dr. Muscle, and tap "update". So, I'm marking this as "Completed."

If you get a "Connection error" message after you update, log out and log back in. That should solve it.

Thank for voting for this suggestion. Now would be a good time to suggest and vote for our next features on https://muscle.userecho.com/.

Big cheers,

Carl

Hi Mac,

I'm happy to say, we've had a lot of votes for a similar request (https://muscle.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/86-control-the-number-of-beeps-when-the-timer-finishes). So, this one is already out in beta. The app now has a bell / chime sound that dings only once.

Should out in public this week. I'm marking this suggestion as "Started".

Thanks for your suggestion,

Carl

Hi Tomislav,

Thank you for your suggest. Yes, that does make sense. I look forward to see how many people vote for that one. We implement suggestions with the most votes first.

All the best,

Carl

Hi Glen,

Thanks for taking the time to write. That one seems easy to fix: simply delete your work set and do it again. You'll get the popup again, and you'll be able to enter the correct value. That value will be recorded (not the previous, uncorrect one, since you've deleted that set). To delete your work set, tap "..." to its right and tap "delete".

Best regards,

Carl

Hi Ioan,

That you for that smart suggestion ;)

In fact, we were already cooking an update that applies this concept in an even more powerful way. It's out now on Android and under review by Apple (give it 2-3 days). For full details, check out:

I'm marking this as "Completed".

I'm surprised to see 4 votes for this in just 3 days. This one is easy to fix -- I'll sneak in our next release. I'm marking it as "Planned."

Thanks for reporting that one Glen.

Our last dev told me it's an issue with Xamarin (the platform we use to code the app). The logs display fine on Android, but not on iPhone (this always puzzles me).

If we can't fix Xamarin, our best bet would be to create a website where you would be able to access your history (and, later, the rest of your Dr. Muscle account). Would that solution work for you?

I'm marking this as "Under review" for now.

Thanks!

Carl

Hi Glen,

Yes, that's another issue with the timer (on iOS only). I'm happy to say we've just fixed it (it beeped 50 out of 50 times when I tested it). The fix is in beta and should be out next week.

Thanks for taking the time to report it.

All the best,

Carl

Hi Jessica!

Thanks for taking the time to write.

You can already create custom exercises and programs inside the app. So, for example, you could create a kettlebell swing.

When you do that, the app will try to adjust your weight up or down to match your reps and progression. If you don't have a full rack of kettlebells, that might be a problem.

If you'd like to restrict the app's recommended weights to only what you have, please vote for this feature: https://muscle.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/67-weight-control-for-available-dumbbells-and-plate-sizes.

Thanks! 

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!

Carl
