Pull-Ups Workouts & Trainer App Reviews

Needs tighter motion sensor control.

I dont understand why I had to wait for my friend to come fake pull up my device. That just doesnt make sense. Either give an option to manually input or remove the iPad version entirely and state that the app uses motion sensing in the store, description, and in the run page where moving is the next expected step. Until this is done, this app is trash and should not be available.

I would like that the runtastic app be able to transition to push-ups & pull-ups during my hike. But I like how I can manually input my numbers to track my improvement.

Does not always count the pull-ups.

All of the other apps in this series are better balanced to the movements needed to activate the counter of the exercise being done. This one, you need a significant downward motion followed by a hard stop. I have 2 solutions currently. First option: Do your pull ups during the break time and then wave the phone around to get it to register how many you did. Second option: Land hard on the ground after each pull ups. Once again, this is a great motivator to keep track of your exercise schedule but the accelerometer detection isnt quite right.

It is a free version. I get the adds, but so many. Easy enough to click past them. I really do like the app.

Perfect Ive had no problems with it, since I learned to use it. To those that are new be at the bar, and hang from when the app says get ready to go. Youll have no problems. *By the way you can start as soon as it says go, you dont need to need wait until it tells you how many pull ups your doing.

I use most of the runtastic apps, but this is the only one that gives me trouble. I do exactly as the instructions tell (put the phone upright in my pocket). Almost every time I use the app, it wont recognize when I pull up. I cant even get it to register when I wave the phone up and down in the same motion with my hand. It says I havent done any pull ups even though I have done them all with proper form and full extension. If this app continues to not register, Ill have to go to another brand of pull up app that works properly.

This app doesnt recognize when I do pull-ups

Open the app, and you get a popover ad. Dismiss it, and you get a loud video ad that you cant skip. Pro tip: let people at least try your app before bombarding them with ads. If the app was good, I would have gladly paid to remove ads. I deleted it before I could even try it.

This is definitely helping Meade progress!

Pull ups are really hard to do. So if your app pauses randomly while you are in the middle of your set it ruins your workout.

Is anyone listening to EVERYONE who hates the motion sensor feature of this app? It doesnt work, so let the user turn it off. This app has succeeded in making me angry instead of getting pullups done, because the design is so freakin stupid. Did I mention that its stupid? Please...fix it!

I love all the Runtastic apps. This gives me something I can do with little time, space, and equipment. Definitely recommended.

This app will start you out easy and work you to a strength you can only hope you have until its revealed.

I like the other Runtastic Apps. But for some reason, this one is iffy on the sensing of my pull ups. I placed my iPhone 5s in my pants pocket and it sensed 50% of the pull ups that I did. Tried it again on a different day with the phone in my shirt pocket and it read 1 out of 8 pull ups.

thanks really nice

Very useful app!
