Things feel like they have stalled a little with regards to the calendar on the web client, and the app on iOS. Some things that I have noticed recently that have been around for a while:
My weight shows as different in the web client to the app
Date formats on both platforms do not respect country conventions (they are formatted in the US MMDDYYYY rather than DDMMYYY.
I often use an iPad Pro 11-inch to view my calendar. This is only possible in landscape mode. Surely the web calendar can be scaled to a display of that size in portrait? This only became a problem with the updated calendar.
Searching for workouts in-app versus on web is different for no apparent reason. Why is the duration filter field closed in-app by default? Surely that’s one of, if not THE most important field when picking a workout? Why is the workout duration filter sometimes in Hours:Minutes and sometimes just in minutes? Why is the order of the filters different on web versus on app?
It is very annoying to have to jump between the app and the web browser to do certain tasks when using a phone. Want to view your calendar? Has to be in the app. Want to analyse your ride? Has to be on the web client. Why can’t it all work in one place?
The app on iOS is really really laggy now. Sometimes I can’t navigate the interface for up to a minute when I first open it, and then it will register all touches at once. Sometimes the same quick menu can be loaded over itself another multiple times and you have to navigate back through them all. Sometimes the interval time and total time fields will lag and jump when completing a workout. This lag has been spoken about before and it seems to be getting worse not better.
I’ve been a TR user for more than 7 years now, and these moments of friction for the user start to get pretty frustrating after a while. Does anyone else have little niggles they would like to add?
I find the app to hang a lot when opening or displaying workouts or old data. Especially when trying to add in RPE. It’s really annoying. They clearly have a lot of data loading issues going on.
Yep, same issue on the IOS app when trying to add RPE or find a workout from a few months ago in the calendar. It becomes unresponsive and there is no indication that it’s loading slowly or that an error has occurred.
For what is really a very basic app it’s criminal how slow it is. I bought a new (android) tablet simply to run TR and while it’s a lot better it a) shouldn’t have been necessary and b) still feels like a laggy piece of shit.
I hope the developers they’re using for all the AI-led stuff are more competent than their front end developers…
I’m having the devs take a look at the slowness on iOS.
As for the weight not syncing, it should be the same between the app and the web. I’d be curious whether you notice it doesn’t sync after you update on the app or on web? Both? If you can post a screenshot of what you are seeing that would be great as this may be a bug.
I’m a bit confused by the filters in #4. The duration dropdown in the app, the list view in the Filters tab on the app, and the list on website are all showing the same to me. Maybe the reference to sometimes showing in minutes is referring to the Workout Alternates duration filter?
If you could also provide screenshots for these that would be great
“I’m having the devs take a look at the slowness on iOS.”
It’s not just iOS, and they’re already very definitely well aware of how inefficient the app is. Please ask them to re-do it in vanilla html/css/js and stop using whichever ridiculously bloated frameworks they’re currently in.
