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
This 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.
