Exxentric 2.0

The old app was way easier to use and much more strait forward. All the data points you wanted to see quickly on one scroll screen… they over complicated the app trying to “fancy” it up for a sales pitch. This is coming from someone who has spent over 25k on their products. I’ll probably look elsewhere since they are now trying to monetize their equipment data… which their equipment was already expensive to begin with. Very disappointed and was an OG customer when they first came out.

Exxentric must be out of their mind. The new look is good but $250/yr (or $25/mo) for ACCESS to VIDEOS? You have to be joking. Not even coaching, just workout videos to follow along to. Would I be willing to do a one-time payment for lifetime access to a collection of videos? Sure. Let us download. And when I exhaust a collection I’d even buy more. But pointless ongoing subscriptions need to die and this is one of those. I hope you read this exxentric, there’s a better way.

The old app was better, it just needed better performance for saving data. This app is a huge downgrade for me. It’s clunky, it’s unintuitive, migrating data and users is a pain, it messes up my progress because I can’t set my training the same way. I used to do a 1% power drop off, this app only lets me set 95% as the highest. If I go to 99% it just bumps to 100%. Changing the settings for a session wastes so much extra time. I would much rather just scroll down and click the settings I want than have to click into 3 different modals to figure out what settings need to be changed. Instead of going straight to my normal workout, I have to go into the workouts section, go find the workout I want to do, add it, and then I’m stuck with a modal on my screen and a tiny little button at the top left to actually go to the training. If I don’t click that button I lose what I added. It’s just very unintuitive, very clunky, the data is presented in a way that really is not useful to me at all, and after having 5 years of consistent, controlled data, I now have to change the way that my training goes which throws off my trend lines. Just a huge downgrade for me. The only problem with the old app is it took over a minute to save every workout and would error out every time, but the data still saved so I could deal with it because overall it worked. Also the audacity to make a way worse app, then hide basic features like velocity behind a pay wall, and then make the app so bad that I can’t even select a plan to pay for is crazy. This app is basically useless at this point. I literally just memorize my power outputs every week because it’s easier than using the app
