9 years ago I appreciate the feedback. I've been super time crunched recently with work and life and I'm also trying to learn game development on the side. I'm happy to accept any pull requests, but my own time on this right now is a little strained.
I tried to sell the app to someone who could actively maintain it but any app which has in the past or currently uses iCloud cannot be transferred. That was quite the surprise to learn.

Love the Big Lifts app. I've tried a few apps for 531, and this app is the only decent implementation of it that I've seen!
Anyway, the only thing that could be better is the timer. Some issues with the timer:
-
If you are doing warmup, working and assistance sets, then you end up having quite a few sets to do - enough that you have to scroll the screen on an iPhone 5 to see them all.
The problem is that the timer is at the top of the screen. So you have to constantly scroll up and down between sets to set the timer.
Maybe the timer could be fixed at the top of the screen?
Each time you use the timer, it navigates to a new view so you can change the value.
I find that a bit clunky, esp. when you often want the same time you used on the previous set. Something that uses just one tap to trigger (by default) would be better.
It would be really cool if it could be configured to have a different time for each part of the workout. E.g.
2 mins for warmup sets 3 mins for working sets 1 mins for assistance sets
Maybe internally it could remember the last "warmup" time, and each time you do a warmup set, default the timer for that. And the same for working and assistance sets. That way you get a sensible rest for each part of the workout, and you only need to set it once. (but still have the ability to override if you need to)
Anyway, thanks for building this app. I was surprised to find the source on Github!
