Difficulties in Seven iPhone app
Hello!
I appreciate this app description and that it is fully accessible.
Unfortunately I have no Apple Watch yet, it will come in a couple of weeks; but for now, I installed the iPhone app.
It really seems accessible, but, I find a problem: in the "learn" section, the tab where you can find all exercises explanations, I do not manage to see them all!
I just double tap on each exercise and it Always shows me the first!
I just thank the user who published this review as I was Always looking for a fitness app with text explanations
but I will use it when I have my Apple watch with me, as of course I'd never gym with the phone in my hand or somewhere!
I am really curious on what apple watch will offer me!
Then, as it is completely localized in Italian, I'll share knowledge with my community
RE: Difficulties in Seven iPhone app
You aren't alone in this one. I can only see the description for the first exercise, as well. Not enough for me to delete the app but it was frustrating because I wanted to refresh myself on a couple of the exercises. Otherwise, quite surprisingly accessible.
waiting for an answer from 7 minutes workout developer
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I contacted the developer of the app, through support site present on iTunes page.
I am waiting for an answer, hoping they fix the problem, as it's really a pity not to be able to access all exercise descriptions; I managed to get them, by forgetting to Flick, and using exploration with finger and split tap, that is: a tap on the desired element and then second tap with another finger, without lifting the first finger.
A trick for the descriptions
If you are letting the app run, a description button appears for each exercise during the rest phase before the whistle sounds. This means you only get 10 seconds before the exercise starts to find the button. Not ideal for trying to read a description while trying to successfully complete an actual workout. But if you let the app run its course while you have your device in hand, you should be able to find the description button a few flicks from the top during the 10 second rest phase just to refresh your memory or learn the steps for the first time. The app pauses while you read the description.
