I have been underwhelmed by Jefit so was interested to hear about an alternative but I can't find gymprovise in the App Store. Is it only on Android?
You realize that guy is the creator of gymprowhatever and that he's only here to promote that trash, right?
I mean, I guess he would be the person to ask about availability, but his "review" is somewhat less than objective
In fact he is not the only one to mention it and, no, I did not realise he was the creator of it. How exactly was I supposed to work that out given that I could not find the app? Are you the creator of Jefit to be so vigorously defending (and in a tone to run me down as well)? I do appreciate intelligent, informed advice but this attack to my polite and innocent question was uncalled for. Something constructive would have been of much greater value.0 -

wow. you are a sensitive snowflake, aren't you? care to point out the sentence (or word, or punctuation) that i used that made your "polite and innocent question" feel "attacked"?
you may want to cycle down the personal feelings of persecution if you're going to use the internet much. hope that was constructive enough for you.0 -

Quite - but still nothing about the apps which was the point of the post. And generally speaking I don't use the Internet forums much because people are not nice to each other. It would be nice if MFP wee different. Apparently MFP has not changed much since I quit posting in the forums two years ago...0 -

I'm afraid you're just plain wrong. I'm not one of the creator(s).
I have a Galaxy II, and have used many lifting apps, including JEFit and Gymprovise. I find Gymprovise to be the best Gym app I have used, and have stuck with it. I'm just someone who has a lot of lifting experience and wanted to share my opinion.
JEFIT has some issues. Apart from those I mentioned, the main problem I found with it is that it just wasn't flexible enough to accommodate my Workouts, which don't always go exactly to plan. There were other gripes I had too. If I input a set wrong - I can't correct the error right there. I have to go out of my workout, into the calendar then edit - which is nonsensical and time-consuming. The rest timer doesn't work consistently upon navigating away from the exercise screen. That's a real pain in the *kitten* when I've got the timer on when resting and want to change the music I'm listening to, or send an SMS. The logs are organised by Week/Exercise, rather than by Workout. And the charts are difficult to read. And it just plain looks ugly IMO.
Using Gymprovise I have found the app to better suit my needs. Sometimes I'll add an extra set to my current exercise or do a drop set. Sometimes one of the exercises I use at the Gym is taken, and I want to quickly do a different or alternative exercise on-the-fly, without altering my set plan/routine. Sometime's I'll feel really good and chuck in some extra Cardio after my weights. With the app I can do all of these things easily.
I found the quality of my Workouts decreased with JEFIT it because I was spending too much time on the app during the workout and not enough time lifting.
If you think my review is "less than objective" - well, you're entitled to your opinion - as I am to mine. But at present, you can't construct any semblance of an argument or evidence to back your opinion.
People can see the store reviews and decide for themselves.
And rat70 - I don't think it is available for iPhone AFAIK.0 -
Gymprovise is the best app for the gym
