Accessibility Comments

There are parts of this app that are very accessible, and nicely labeled. While I know that the picture of the muscled human would be hard to make accessible, I'm not making a comment about that or the annimations. I found Voice Over to lag a bit on the iPhone 4 when typing information in the fields, and to choose things such as weight and height, it did not have a standard picker but relied on selecting numbers--that did not appear to be in a keypad configuration. I have contacted the developers, but I have not heard back from them yet.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads a few page elements.

Button Labeling

Few buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

There are some accessibility issues with this app, but it can still be used if you are willing to tolerate these issues and learn how to work around them.

Other Comments

I have only had this app for a few hours, and I haven't fully decided if it will help me in planning and tracking workouts yet. I got it because it's what a lot of people at my local gym were using. This review is what I think after a glance. I will update as needed. I know that it works on the iPad as well, but since I don't own one, I don't know if it's a universal app or if there's a separate version for the iPad. The website was unclear on this point.
