An editorial reading of the saved reviews
An app for the home rehab program prescribed by a physical therapist. The core problem is not the content but the mechanics: exercise timers consistently do not match what the specialist prescribed, and there is no simple way to log completion outside the app.

Disappointed that it's not possible to affect the timing of the exercise routine so that it could keep track of reps, sets, and holds.
