Mediocre app with major flaws. metronome volume too low to listen to music at the same time, even at highest audio setting in the app, diagrams of pre and post stretches only show starting position. not what the stretch actually looks like. no easy way to reset a day if you want to start earlier in your routine. if I get some useful feedback from the developer I may change my rating.

Works great so far. Onboarding was a little confusing, seemed like I needed to pay at first. I think the app asks for a review a little too quickly. I've only used it once, so kinda hedging my rating with a 4.

I do like the app, it has helpful features and a good amount of variety when it comes to my workouts. the only issue is that the SPM meter takes too long to adjust when switching SPM during the workouts, sometimes taking as long as 30 seconds to change. This is a bit of a setback for someone who is as rhythmically challenged as I am, especially during HIIT workouts.
