LADDER Strength Training Plans

The app pause constantly during my workout. This is very annoying. There is definitely a bug in there.

Great workouts should be expected from an exercise program. But an app needs to be more than that - it needs to embrace technology…and this is lacking. Although you can select a particular weight type for workouts (eg barbells or dumbbells), instructions are only given for one. Concerned about form? You’re totally on your own. Aside from the Apple Watch, there’s less than nothing here. And by less than nothing I mean it. Nothing would be AirPlay support, comparability with mirroring, maybe an iPad app for a larger screen. A stretch might be an apple tv app. No such luck with any of these things. Everything falls apart with simply trying to use airplay to move audio to HomePods. Mirroring? Fixed vertical screen without audio. Extra things that pretty much blow - Strava integration is weak (no workout details ), whoop is a whoops, no support aside from HR. Is it really that hard to export an exercise list to anything but an Apple Watch? Such a disappointment from a tech lens from someone really wants to like this. I’m lost how a VC funded app could miss the mark so badly.

Initially I loved this app, then after the first month, it got extremely glitchy. I’ve notified tech support numerous times and the chat BOT always says it will be fixed but nothing ever it. I just want to be able to enjoy a workout without it changing halfway through or the sets increasing when I’m on the last set. Last set means last set, not add three more. The chat bot they use is infuriating and the patronizing tone it has is gross.

I liked the app but as soon as I purchased the yearly subscription my Apple Watch stopped being able to connect!!! I have the series 12 and it was fine for the first 2-3 workouts. I uninstalled everything on both my phone and watch
