i have been using this app since I started jumping rope (about a year ago) and have helped me get to where I am at today (7/1/19) but until recently with the new app update. it is useless and have less option to choose for exercises. My weekly routine has forced me to look elsewhere. UPDATE: Thanks for the support. I'm back on track and continuing to achieve my goal with this awesome app.
Reviews for Jump Rope Training | Crossrope
← Back to Jump Rope Training | CrossropeThis app is fantastic. From begginers to advanced. There is something for everyone. Their ropes are as good as it gets. From speed ropes to 3# Different colors represent different weights. Changing ropes is a breeze for quick transitions. Most importantly, even if you don't have weighted ropes you can still utilize this app. Enjoy!
Took a break and came back ready to work out, only to be confronted by a paywall ($60 on sale/year or $10/month). Some workouts still available for a limited time, and some basic challenges. A subscription model is ok, but with such expensive ropes already, even $60 annually is asking a lot. Personally, I've also had trouble using it regularly bc there aren't many shorter workouts, and challenges aren't flexible. Actual workout functionality easy to use. Likely will keep using ropes but not app.
I'm quite let down by the app. The sole reason I purchased the rope was to simply track the number of jumps during my 30-60 minute personal workout. I only wanted to monitor the basic stats, but now I've realized it's not available for free, and I have to subscribe monthly just for that feature. I have no interest in the additional "workout" content you offer in your subscription plan. I must admit, I feel somewhat deceived.
I can only speak on the part of the app that I am using, the free version. Pros: Proper tutorials Versatility (more than just jumping rope) Challenges (if you don't know where to start) Workouts (if you don't want to commit to a challenge) Cons: So the ropes themselves, although worth it, are quite pricy. I got mines as a Christmas gift this past year and was hoping to have at least one week free trial of the premium version just to see if the subscription was worth it, but no it didnt.
I have loved this app. Just getting back into a regular fitness routine and I wanted to start skipping rope. Finding this app was like finding the perfect trainer, it just clicked for me. The instructions are super clear, the exercises are well balanced (some super challenging, others allow you to recover), and the built in timer makes following along simple and intuitive, just like you were in a real class with a real coach. I love it.
This morning i went out to jump and the workout I had been doing was gone. I'd become good enough to do this longer workout fairly well, and I was getting better. I wasted time looking for it and for a replacement. There were only shorter workouts avail, and my consistency was destroyed. Your app also pretends to display the amount of calories burned, but even when doing the same workout, with the phone not on my body, I get different totals every day. I feel defeated and lied to.
This app is essentially useless: the timer doesn't work at all, it crashes midway into an exercise and you can't go back to where you left off, it doesn't calculate calories, etc. I waited for them to fix it but it's been months and with each upgrade/fix nothing is resolved. Do yourself a favor and just download a tabata or interval timer.
App is great, but the limitations of free are not. I can't justify spending $12/month on a jump rope app. I already bought an $80 rope set from you, and honestly I'll probably buy many more in the years to come because I love it! I thought I could use the free edition, but I've found that there often isn't the kind of workout I need. I suggest two possible solutions. One, just make it cheaper. I'd pay $2-3/month for this. Two, put together a core group of workouts that DOESN'T cycle out.
Buggy. won't load workouts after most recent updates. I'll press the workout button and I get a blank screen. I've deleted the app and reloaded it. I restarted my phone. Just can't get it to load. There's got to be some issue with the app trying to access the work out on your servers. I'll edit my review if the problem gets fixed. Update: the app is now downloading. However, now that I'm able to see what is available I know that many of the original workouts are gone.
App is a lot less useful. Once they went to the subscription model, it's more difficult to find something new to follow along to. They lock away everything under premium. I can only hope in time they get more competition in this space. who wants to create a Facebook with all the privacy concerns. Maybe that's an addl revenue source for them. Edit for dev response. You listed the offerings, but there used to be much more in the basic version. Now it's all locked behind the yearly premium version
I bought the Get Lean jump rope set because of many recommendations from the Jump Rope Dudes and was super excited. I tried downloading the app and it not once successfully opened, always "unexpectedly stopping" or "Quitting". As far as the ropes, I love them...but I can't say the same for the app since it doesn't work. If someone could help me so the app would work I would probably give them a better review. Edit: filled out their form and now it is working a lot better. Thanks for fixing it!
So, far I like this app alot. I've had a lot of trouble coming up with my own workout regiments for the jump rope, but this app has completely changed that. Its quick and easy to learn, and the aspect I love the most about this app is the selection between lean, strength and power. These options allow for a lot of training versatility that I usually never incorporated into my workout. Great app! I would recommend it to anyone.
They've changed this app over the past couple of months and it's not for the better. I wish I could turn the "next up" voice prompt. All I need is one prompt telling me what to do when its supposed to be done. It's okay other than that I guess. The 30 day challenges would be nice if integrated with the app (instead of just a read file), but I understand the app is free to all. Guess I can't complain since it was free, even though I did buy the get lean set.
Initially when I purchased the ropes a few years ago, I would have given the app 5 stars. However, I can't justify that now. I loved that they had a decent amount of free workouts. I didn't want to spend a large amount of $ on the premium. I have not been allowed to jump for the last 5 months due to back problems. I opene the app today and realized I'm down to only 3 free workouts! Highly frustrating! Not enough options for me to want to keep the app. Used to be good but slowly going down.
The Crossrope app has been a fantastic resource! As someone who hasn't regularly jumped rope for 20+ years I wasn't sure where to begin. The crossrope app not only gives workouts for every fitness level, but also varies the workouts enough to keep you from disengaging. Jumping has quickly become one of my favorite parts of the day! For an effective 30min or under workout - this is your app!
App is crowded & costly. I have been using jump ropes for years; from time in the US Marines & so on. I just want to change the gear & be more techie. I do not care much for the workout programs, videos, etc, I just need to use the "Free Jump" as counter, recorder, tracker, that's it. But, in able for you to use it, you have to subscribe. So much "Free Jump". The "Rounds" is the same thing, you have to pay to play. One of these features, the least, should be free.
Down from five stars. Good product when it decides to work. AMP handles have a habit of randomly disconnecting mid workout, either screwing up your numbers or forcing a full disconnect and starting over. Either way, it becomes a major annoyance when trying to beat older totals. Edit: given that the app has tendency to go on the fritz, an option to delete workouts that you don't finish would be helpful.
This app is trash for Android use. I jumped several days that weren't included in my weekly jump total. It counts while you're jumping, but it doesn't save that day's jump for the week. You can not connect with friends on other platforms. I'm challenging someone with Apple. I'm not able to follow or see any of his workouts. I do have an iPad, so I can use it to connect with him. I don't carry my iPad everywhere. It keeps me from using my cell. I was told the app has issues with Android. Useless.
Incredibly poor scaling for beginners, difficult to navigate, and overpriced. I am not a beginner. I used to jump rope three to four times a week for cardio and caloric burn. I am now trying to get back into shape. The Beginner Challenge is not for beginners. It escalated way too fast. It's clearly meant for fit people learning a new workout. This will actually deter a great many beginners. The workout navigation is also unintuitive. It's easy for workouts to get lost unless favorited.
