Apple Watch app is VERY glitchy and doesn’t sync with activity app – StrongLifts Weight Lifting Log Review

This review is specially about the recent watch app update. I was excited to try the watch app but I’m very disappointed. I was made aware of the app when I started a usual workout on my phone and the watch app started automatically. Fine. I continued the workout using my phone but I would notice that the rest timers between the phone and app didn’t always match up. The watch app would notify me that I’d been resting for five minutes even though I’d moved on from the set on my phone. This also seems to effect the rest timer on the phone as suddenly it disappears from the screen sometimes and neither the phone nor the app will notify me of rest times properly. The watch app also goes off screen or suddenly shows a different exercise for no reason and generally buzzes me at random times. I also don’t like that in the watch app you have to end rest periods instead of just logging the next set as on the phone app. Furthermore, if I start a workout on the watch app or even interact with it during a workout started from my phone, the workout won’t show up in the activity app and I don’t get credit for the minutes. Overall, I hate it. I’ve had minor issues with the phone app in the past but usually it works perfectly. This watch app is not well integrated and is too buggy for me. I hope this is worked out soon because this mess has me thinking of getting another app for my workouts.
