This is really cool. Maybe it may get me to work out.

i have this app. its cool, but i wish that exercises would have descriptions. I know this has already been brought up on appleis but i just wanted to throw it out here as well.

Hello,

I'd appreciate if you'd make this app available for Android as well, as not everyone can afford buying iOS devices.
Until then, I've got nothing to say as I can't test the app at all.

I think the AI part mainly comes into play when generating a workout based on the choices made, and perhaps to know what cue to give next. The cues are currently performed using TTS, and I am going to assume that the amount of different exercises is finite. Therefore, adding a description to each exercise would be doable, and the triviality of it depends on the amount and complexity of the exercises.
How to intelligently play those cues is another story though. My first thought was a gesture, that plays a description for the currently required exercise and pauses the clock. However, that might not be optimal mid-workout.
Perhaps a list of all exercises + descriptions in another window might work, but that would require theuser to memorize them all. Curious what others think?

Hello everyone!

Thanks for trying it out!

@jescat277 Give it a shot! It really works for us, saves us from begin sedentary for 10 hours a day...

@Boo15mario We did build it for Android, but we're having a lot of issues with the audio there - basically the diversity of devices makes the audio super delayed sometimes. Since we produce the audio on the go (it's also unique every time, even for the same exercise), the delay makes the whole guidance stutter horribly on some devices. But we don't know which ones! So, we're looking for a solution at the moment. It's no good having it on the Play Store with such unreliable user experience.

@Warcat Thanks for your feedback! We're working on releasing this in the next couple of weeks. Just thinking about what's the best way to add the feature so the experience stays as sooth as possible.

@Zersiax Not sure if it would be possible to get an external source of audio mixed in - so people can play their own music from Spotify etc. We'd love to add music, but we'll need to get our hands on royalty-free music, and the quality and availability is not as high as for regular paid music.

@StormProductions See my response to @Boo15mario above. We're doing our best to bring it back to the Play Store. The variety of devices makes it quite challenging to ensure consistently good experience.

@ironcross32 The exercise instructions will be available in the next couple weeks And yes, the combinations are a lot, what we're still working on is polishing which workouts people get. The workouts should make sense and feel structured, not just random exercises, like some other apps do. It's cool stuff! We love working on it

@ogomez92 Thanks for your feedback! We just got in a report about a crash on the App Store analytics, and we're looking into it, so we can release a fix.

Hi. I love the app. I used to go to the gym for exercise, but now with lockdown in effect, this app helps me to stay in shape. I do most of these exercises on a regular basis, so I know exactly what to do when it tells me. Thanks for this app!

Not sure how you'd go about it, but if you go to rsgames.org, you should hopefully find something about advertising there. You would be able to hit an even larger audience

This sounds amazing!
I'm going to pass it along to the lighthouse in my area, and they have a lot of clients with varying degrees of vision, additional disabilities, different ages, etc.
PS - I love the name! It's what made me click on this topic.

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to add an update here: we've just released the detailed exercise instructions with Jumpy Cat. Make sure you're updated to the latest version, then you can switch from the basic voice guidance to the detailed voice guidance by simply going to the More tab, and choosing that option.

Hope you give it a spin! Excited to hear how you're liking it!

hi. I've tried this detailed guidance and it is very good. I like the fact that it begins by explaining the exercise and then the time starts, so you can listen to what you're about to do and then you can try to do the exercise as best you can. All exercises in my workout have descriptions now. Does every exercise have instructions or are there some that don't? Just curious...

will be released for android?

Sorry for buming this threa, but I want to add my two cents. I've recently started using Jumpy Cat and I'm absolutely happy with it. I used to train at gym, but currently, I'm doing workouts at home. I should say, sometimes I lack desire and motivation. Thanks to this app, my workouts became more diverse that helps me exercise regularly.
