Runtastic Pull-Ups PRO Trainer App Reviews

Things it does well: Reminders Motivation Consistent training over time Tracks progress Things to improve: Make a button to manually add or subtract reps from my total. Sometimes I do a pull-up, and the sensor doesnt count it. Or it counts too many. Let me adjust it manually so that my long term numbers are more accurate.

This app does an excellent job of progressively building up the number if pull ups you can so. It has reasonable rest periods between both sets and days.

The app doesnt register when you do a pull up. Theres no way to manually enter your workout either.

I like the app. Simple and easy to use. Only downside is it is annoying to be advertised to buy other apps when you paid for a pro version already.

…I have purchased most Runtastic Apps, yet I keep getting asked to purchase apps I already paid for. If you work out 5 times a week and have to close these advertising windows between 1 to 4 times a day, it gets very annoying. In today’s world, you generally pay to be spared from the endless bombardment with ads. This app specifically has room for improvement with the following issues: - Manually adjusting registered reps (if you do a really slow pull-up it sometimes doesn’t register) - Allowing the user to write their own extended program (modifying # of reps and sets, and weighted vest). - Adding an optional differentiation between grips (wide, narrow, palms facing in or out, etc.) Other than that, I have used this app since at least 2 years I believe, and I still love it.

Great app for someone who doesnt have a whole lot of time to commit to fitness

Im writing this review in the hopes that now the app will stop asking me to write a review.

Well structured

Great in theory, but the sensor does not register pull-ups. Their other apps work much better and I use them every day. At lease should have a way to manually register pull-ups after the workout so you can keep track.

If you can count to 9 you dont need to purchase this app. Theres nothing intuitive about this app, the motion sensory to count pull-ups is a good idea in theory but this does not translate well to real live, its irritating. Whats more irritating is the app always asking you to rate and review it, and it has nothing that warrants you paying money for it. On a personal level the robot voice that bleats out inspirational Jems like "pain is temporary, glory is forever" "we make your body better" seems patronizing and this swill is better reserved for captions on cat posters. The goofs that made this app probably spend more time looking in the mirror telling flexing than they do on a computer. Save your money

Sensor is fickle. Sometimes doesnt register at all and other times registers even slight movements. App should have a way to manually enter reps when sensor is inaccurate.

Would like to see an option to turn off the motion tracker, so I dont have to shake my phone to make it register a pull-up. Yes, even with proper form.

I find that the app locks up during the rest time when in my pocket. I usually need to wake up the phone for it to continue. The full history causes the app to crash. When I finish the workout the screen goes upside down and cant rotate back. Aside from that thanks for the app guys.

Title says it all!

Doesnt work in my pants or chest pocket. Not much more to say than that.

Tried this out but it doesnt register pull-ups when I do them. Kind of a waste of time.

This app is easy to use.

This app does not work as well on my iPhone 5 as do the rest of their apps. The problem is that it doesnt pick up the up/down motion. That means I need to shake the phone to register the pull-ups I do. Not a deal-breaker, but an annoyance.

Very nice

But app does not realize all pull ups, it can be little more sensetive. Besides where is chin up version we are wainting...
