Griptonite teams up with Beastmaker to bring you Grippy! The app brings you workouts from a network of top coaches around the world. Get a Grip on your progression.
The supplied workouts seem pretty good, I've started on the beginner Beastmaker workout having been bouldering for about 18 months, and it's really challenging. I like that you can uncheck reps that you missed to accurately track your progress. I've also used it at my local gym linked up to the Motherboard and that was pretty cool. Cons: Notes entry box obscured by submit button while typing (s22 ultra). Second workout wouldn't save "there was an error, please correct it and try again".
Asking for lots of personal data
It would be nice to have an ability to disable confirmation between steps in the workout editor. Sometimes I have very small breaks (5-10s) and having to click on a button to start the break ruins the workout.
The sounds in the app are really ugly and annoying which makes it unpleasant to use. There is a setting to change from robot to beep but it doesn't seem to do anything. Please fix/add a nice pleasant chime/beep (something like the original beastmaker app). It would also be nice to have the option to turn off the inspirational messages (which I find repetitive). I would increase my score if these simple things were fixed, visually the app is good. Forgotten password reset also doesn't work.
The app is confusing to start with, a walk-through at the beginning would improve the UX of new users a lot! The app is sick in what it does, but it needs some polishing to be perfect. The profile tab has so much untapped potential. It could be the place where you see all your benchmarks and progress, perhaps goals that you're working towards. The app could also help with decision making for a training plan, a questionaire about someone's project or climbing trip give recommended protocols
EDIT: UNINSTALLED AND REINSTALLED AND ALL IS BACK TO NORMAL! When it works its great! Having issues where the app is not loading on startup. A message comes up "Nothing happening - click here to go to login page" which does nothing...
Perfect app for hangboard training!
