Great device and horrible buggy app – Activ5 Training App Review

This device concept is great! I’ve seen and felt results from the isometric exercises. I think the device is great if you don’t have time to make it to a gym. You can literally do these exercises anywhere. Except it may get a bit awkward if you do some of the floor ones at work or at the airport. The app is horrible. Also customer service is lacking. The app crashes a lot mid exercise. The device even disconnects at times. What I find most aggravating is the promise of the Health App integration. It’s great when it works, but that is less than half the time. It only sends caloric information to the Health App and doesn’t show you within Activ5 what that information is. So when the app crashes, which happens frequently during workouts, no information synchronizes with Health. I’ve reached out to them about this several times, but no response. I assume this is also faulty programming since when I go back to the email part of the app, it looks like it never sent. I wish other developers were allowed access to this device that have better reporting functions. Otherwise as I’ve said the device itself is a great concept.
