Pros and cons of PhysioAdvisor Exercises app for iPhone and iPad

PhysioAdvisor Exercises app good for

The application has a clean layout which aids navigation. The exercises are organized by flexibility or by strengthening. Most of the exercises my physiotherapist recommended for my injury are represented. It would be helpful if common injuries could be referenced, and a corresponding set of exercises recommended to treat them.

Under the muscles body chart and in the joints body chart, it would be helpful if there were more details. Also, If I have an achilles tendon problem, what should I do to isolate the soleus? What about the tendon itself? I guess my suggestion for improvement is similar to that of Tatewaki Tates of 6/25/12. I would just like a little more granularity in how the information is presented.

Some bad moments

Was hoping for a program that would keep track of reps and sets. This doesnt do that at all. It just explains the exercises - just like my physiotherapist already did. Not what I was looking for.

This app is great in that it explains exercises for almost any part of the body you can think of. But thats all it has. Would get more stars if you could create a routine using the app (i.e if I want to work on my upper body, I could create a routine using several exercise, instead of having to search all around for them and then save it so I could come back and do it again).

The app is basically like 8 web pages that then requires lengthly scrolling in order to see what all the exercises are. It definitely needs a better menu system to direct the user to each exercise. There is a menu system but it is far too broad and the initial menu has topics such as flexibility, massage roller, massage ball, strength of joints, strength of muscles...Im a doctor so when I saw the strength of joints topic I had to sigh to myself as this is simply not correct. The only thing muscles do is move joints, so not sure what the distinction is between muscle and joint strength. This is concerning only because this is supposedly for PTs and other professionals. It is also long on verbage rather than more succinct and to the point. It reads more like a textbook than what I thought would be flashcards with the meat. A decent app for someone interested in rehab, but finding the info and exercise is a real drag. Great start but work on the nav and cut down the wording to bare bones to convey the most important aspects and how-to info. Finally, on my wish list Id love to be able to select exercises, which could then be emailed. Potentially a great patient education tool in that regard. As it stabds now id not recommend a patient buy this as, like this review, it is too long. Patient compliance would be zero.

Dont know if its any good or not. I didnt agree to the terms so I just wasted $2.

This app advertises hundreds of exercises. Its quite lame and deceiving to use the same exercise in different categories. Besides, I believe they count each exercise twice in same category, cause they list it in two optional views.

Seems to be Abandonware with no updates since 2012. Set up my list of exercises, but lost them when the app crashed. No cloud backup. No interplay with any other app. Deleted, wasted $2
