WOD Deck of Cards

I downloaded this app because my old deck of cards app, which I love, will not work with iOS 11 and does not appear to have an update in its future. I miss my old app, but this one does have some benefits. Pros: - You can save the workouts you really enjoy to repeat them later. - You can see how long you spent performing the exercises for each suit. Great for measuring progress since you can save the rollups. Cons: - The card is tiny. Most of the screen is just blank space. Why not make the card take up the whole screen, with large numbers and suits, to be more easily seen arms length? I am constantly having to take a second look at the screen, it’s a little disruptive during my workout. - The card is just a card, no rep numbers are displayed. Obviously this is no big deal for number cards, but if you have assigned a different number for each face card and the aces, you’ll have to remember what it is. I didn’t think this would bother me that much but I found that when I was in a rhythm, it threw me off a little to have a king show up and think “what’s a king again? Oh yeah, 25 reps.” I found the two issues above to just be too disruptive to my rhythm during a workout, so I can’t rate this app more than three stars. It gets the job done, but I really miss my old app.

Awesome app! Very user friendly. I like that I get to write in whichever workout I want for each suit as opposed to being forced to plug in a workout. Also keeps track of how long it takes you to go through all the cards and how long it takes for each card separately. Some things to note: for beginners new to crossfit, this app doesn't have pre-selected workouts so you'll have trouble picking your workouts for each card. I'd like to request that with an update you have about 20-30 misc workouts for beginners. For those that are advanced, this app is awesome. One request though is to be able to change the color of the screen. I don't mind pink but sometimes my mood is green or yellow or red. It'd be cool to change the color scheme. Also, maybe add a buzzer to option. When I do my jokers I usually do a static hold or timed event like a sprint or plank or flutter kicks and it'd be cool to add the buzzer option to whichever workout. Awesome app. I look forward to the update.

It's a pretty decent app but I have a few criticisms. One: there should be a description for what the cards represent for newbies. What does a joker mean? Do face cards represent ten reps? Two: the app should keep track of the workout for you whether you complete the whole deck or not. You shouldn't lose your progress just because you decide to do a shorter workout than the full one.

For some reason I can't select any WOD I've created. You can only do the currently active WOD. Also, there should be a way to know how many reps of each exercise you do, depending on the value assigned to face cards and aces. Thirdly, it would be nice to see how long each card took to accomplish. (Statistics overhaul, basically). Good app, but needs some polishing.

I think apple screwed up this app because it was awesome a day ago, custom workouts etc but now I can't access the custom workouts and the screen goes blank. Smooth move apple!
