Twenty Chinups App Reviews

I bought this app a couple months ago after reading that it was on sale because there would be an imminant release of an update... Well... Where is it?? They still are claiming that now, and at this point I dont beleive them.

All the bad reviews for this app are accurate. I have e-mailed the developer twice and he advised that all problems will be fixed in the new version. But, he also said he was submitting the new version in November to Apple, which, I guess did not happen because when I wrote to him again in December he said he was submitting over Xmas for the first time. Do not buy this app until the new version comes out and you see good reviews on it. The developer also told me that the new version will not cost anything to upgrade if you have the old crap version that is currently available. So far I see no reason to trust him that will happen.

Honestly I dont get why people want an update so bad. Starting at being able to do only 5 I am now up to 18 on week 5. This app does what it says it does and an update wont help that

Needs an update which was promised how long ago?

I have all 4 apps; push ups, chin ups, sit ups, and squats. Theyre all great minus one nasty little feature, the shake to zero! Just moving the phone resets the timer to zero and theres no option to disable it. There is a dedicated option to disable a once-per-use spinning icon though, which is totally useless.

Needs update bad. Crummy right now.

Please update!

Not a bad app, but not nearly as good as the rest of this developers stuff, like 100 pushups. This feels clunky, has inconsistent spelling etc. I bought this believing an update was indeed "imminent" - as claimed - but its been months without an update, so either this dev just doesnt know what "imminent" means or doesnt tell the truth. Its disappointing because the other apps really are very good. Updated review: the app is now caught up with the rest of the developers offerings. yes, its essentially the same, but its great. this update should address the majority of the earlier complaints.

I could do 16 dead hang pullups from the start...and went to the last workout(wk6-day3) and was easily able to finish the workout and able to more...i simply ask for more weeks/days.

Like most other people said, there are no levels in this app. It doesnt really matter how many reps u are innitially doing, u still be on the same program. Than max reps checks every two weeks have no sense. I started with 7 and now Im doing 12 and on the 4th week I should just choose that Im doing more than 4. Thats just stupid!!!

Used to be a great app, but the newest version is very buggy and keeps freezing then shutting down the app. I have gotten all the updates, but it just doesnt work!

Simply doesnt work on the iPhone 4 .. Very crash happy...

Reading the definition of a chin up would be extremely confusing to a newbie. It defines a pull-up and then says "dont confuse a chinup for a pull-up which is what we just defined as a chinup". Also, the poor drawing makes it more confusing. I like the example for the 100pushups, cant you make it like that? The program needs to be more challenging - no matter what your max is, you always start doing 2,2,1,1,1. Lame.

Way too ambitious. I started this program being able to do 10 chinups, and I cant get passed week 5.

Now, I just bought this, but after using the other two apps that this company has made (100 pushups and 200 sit-ups), theyve given great results, so Id imagine this will, too! Great job, app developer!

Worked ok for a while the time of rest is too long and no way to shorten it like the other progression apps like 100 pushups. Now it seems to crash when I go to todays workout. Needs a little more attention.

I was on week four, after the last update the app doesnt work. Ill have to start over with a different app. I will never trust this developer again!! Updated: Fixed, but this is the last time I update software from this dev. Changed from one to three stars

In the past, I was able to log extra reps. But since the update, that feature is gone.

It starts off pretty slow.. Sets of 1 or 2.. When I got to week 3, it started to kick into gear.. But then I got an "upgrade" and now the app crashes whenever I try to launch the daily program.. Too bad, it was just starting to get good

I like the app a lot but i would like to see an update where you can change the amount of reps and they will stay permantly changed even when you start the entire program over. This would help me see how Ive improved since i started using this app, since i started out doing more than 20 chinups anyway.
