Zlagboard for Android
I like the concept and the UI, but the app did not function. Even after several calibrations the timer would not initiate when I started to hang. After hanging for a few seconds, the visual pie chart would remain at 0% and then skip to the next rest interval. Very dissapointing.
When I start hanging the timer stops a fraction of a second later. As if I've let go. Had better luck putting the phone upside down but the app would still freeze randomly after a successful set. No amount of calibration changes anything. Love the app and its functions. Just unusable due to bugs.
The reason this hangboard attracts such a price premium over other boards (e.g. Beastmaker...) is the integration of the board with the app. The app freezes frequently, and does not engage when you have in fact hung around 5-10% of the time, then quits as if you have come completed the exercise at 0%. This gives incorrect stats. If my business model centered around effective phone app integration, I would definitely update the app more than every 1.5 years. Potential but disappointing.
Poor development. App could be much more interesting. Less buggy. The product offered is not up to the high price.

Update: Reduced to one star because app deletes training sessions on workout plans. If you can't compare to previous sessions, the Zlagboard is just like any other hangboard, with a phone on top. Works reasonably well, though on custom workouts you should be able to specify the hang - e.g. "back three" or "full crimp" etc.
Same thing as Tiny Rick
Hard training
it is a great idea, but you really should enable users to make and save their own complete custom training plans. without it the whole setup quickly becomes boring. and in my opinion, the training plans are too expensive. for the 250e you charge for the board you really could give app and plans for free or much cheaper edit:thanks for the custom workouts
So its an nice App, but i got this a little bit wrong and activated the app (in-app purchase) but there is sadly no way to use its features without an Zlagboard. So only for Zlagboardowners
I paid for training plans through in app purchases thinking I'd still get access to training plans etc without an actual Zlagboard. Sadly not. Please update and allow access to view / complete plans on other boards. App looks good and really want to get some use out of it. Cheers
there is sadly no way to use its features without an Zlagboard, because?
Great job!
Congrats for such an eye pleasing app it's working flawlessly. To make it perfect I would love to see some of the following points added in a future update: -overall countdown (to see how much time is left in a single workout) -possibility to skip waiting times between sets -maybe a custom workout creator -a workout log (with detailed hangtimes for whole workouts) Thanks again for bringing hangboard training into the 20th century!
Could not use it. Activation required? What the?

This app seems like a great idea after I saw it reviewed on epictv and liked the fact its got training programs made by climbers and pros but I wish you could pay for it and not have to use it specifically with the zlagboard as I've made my own hangboard for now and wanted to get some training in.
