Review summary

Users appreciate the Tindeq Progressor device and its basic app functionality for climbing training. However, common complaints include forced account creation with intrusive permissions, slow performance, inconsistent offline functionality, and difficulties with firmware updates. Suggestions focus on improving usability by enabling offline use, automating reconnections, adding audible timers, and enhancing routine programming features. Despite flaws, the device and app provide valuable training support, and customer service has been praised in one review.

Pros

The app works well enough for connecting to the Tindeq Progressor device.
The device is a useful and effective climbing training tool.
Some updates and design improvements have been positively received.
Customer support is responsive and helpful according to one user.
The app supports various climbing-specific training functions like repeater protocols and V-rings/Duck rings training.

Cons

The mandatory login and account creation with location permissions is viewed as invasive and unnecessary.
The app is very slow, taking multiple minutes to save routines or load saved programs.
Offline functionality is poor or incomplete; users desire offline use as climbers train in areas without internet.
Firmware updates through the app sometimes fail or render the app/device unusable.
The user experience could be improved by automatic reconnection, better notifications, and more intuitive controls.

2024-09-27	ro*****	Useful device but a privacy nightmare The device doesn't connect if you don't create an account and provide location information. Why do you need location permissions for Bluetooth? For a >200 euro device (and add to that 50 euro in taxes!!) this is not acceptable. And the team doesn't respond to emails

2024-09-22	Gl*****	The app itself works well enough for connecting to the progressor, so at least that's good. The forced login is horrendous. The account isn't used for anything (other than snooping on you, probably), and the account management features don't work. Good luck if you forget your password.

2024-06-11	Da*****	The Tindeq app is passable. There are some interesting functionality. However there are some glaring issues. The ability to program in more complex finger training routines is very limited. If you want to do a sequence of a verity of hangs with diffent maxes you have to set up multiple separate routines and run them one after another. This conflicts with the apps biggest problem. IT IS UNBEARABLE SLOW. It can take literal minutes to saved routines in repeats and similar time to save afterwards

2024-04-15	Sa*****	Great! Would be even better if you could use the repeater protocol functionality even with a tindeq connected so I can use the timing for other exercises like hangs

2024-03-08	St*****	Yeah pretty good. Another case of developers not understanding the value of offline first though. Like climbers go places where online isn't a thing yeah? Maybe make the online account bit optional?

2024-03-08	Om*****	Love the tindeq, dread the app. It takes between 30 secs and 1 min to log a session or load my saved repeater programs, has all the permissions, is up to date on a Pixel 6, only app that has issues. Any suggestions are welcome Update: Terrific customer support. Solves all issues

2023-05-22	St*****	App for portable training tool. But it doesn't work offline... Older versions did. Why break stuff? Edit: latest update sort-of works offline, but trying to tare the sensor fails with 'Could not find your device in the database'.
