Pros and cons of iBody - der Fitnessmanager app for iPhone and iPad

iBody - der Fitnessmanager app good for

This is a fantastic app! I especially love the distance tracker while playing tunes... great for running.
Excellent application which fits my needs perfectly! Very easy to use and tons of options and customizations!
I use it to record my weight and blood every week. Convenient!
I give it 4 for not being perfect, but seeing how responsive the authors are, this app is soon going to be everything one needs to control his fitness. Well worth buying!
It is very usefull. The best app ive found to track my progress.
The BP bug is fixed now in 1.7.4 and they have lowered the price! Great! iBody is the Swiss Army Knife of a fitness application. Other apps I tried did as good of a job keeping track of certain body changes but none covered so many. And the tracking is awesome, I use it on every day. To avoid crashing just reboot your iPhone once you installed the app - thats the trick for all larger apps I use. Very good work all around. The price is high but worth it.

Some bad moments

Do not buy this app, what a complete rip off and joke. So disappointed and wish I could get my money back. Warning do not get this app.
Recommended only if you read German as latest version has only German titles and menu selections--not at all useful to me any more. Apparently there is no longer customer support either in German or in English.
It crashes/exits many times (ALWAYS after deleting a wight entry!). Too much bugs for its price!!!!!! Please update!.
It always quits unexpectedly at startup with an iPhone 3GS IOS 5.1: I cant use it.
Nice concept and design, but needs several more releases to get the kinks out. The biggest problem is the application crashes -- a lot! I started off by adding 3 weight measurements and 5 exercises, and iBody crashed 7 of the 8 times. The functionality is a good start, but not quite there yet. For example, you can select a unit for pace (e.g. min/mi or mile/h), but that unit is used for all sports. Most folks like their runs in min/mi but their cycling in mi/h. Many similar minor annoyances. The user interface, especially input elements are nice and intuitive, but are also rough around the edges. What sense does it make to have a negative distance for a workout? The gauge should just stop at zero. Other aspects of the interface are just poor. The graphs are definitely broken. Some data points are missing, and the graph cuts off before the current date. Plus the fontsize is microscopic. I consider the graphs useless at this point. Finally, the English translation is a bit lacking (e.g. "excercises"). I havent tried the GPS tracking feature.
latest update 1.7.2 unable to enter new BP readings as the entry sliders are frozen; tried rebooting; also problems with trying to use multiple users. good idea; poor implementation and documentation
