Pretty good, I wish it would keep the timer going if I click off the app. Pretty good, the beginner level workout is still pretty advanced. It would be nice to have a warm-up workout and some more base level/introductory workouts. I also wish the timer I would continue timing when I quickly switch over to check a text or switch music. Otherwise it’s simple concept and gets the job done.

Great for the price. Please add notes. I would like to record where I had to come off the board. Please add option to see board numbers from menu. Please add explanations for which exercises help which abilities and a way to tailor an exercise based off of a personal goal assuming we know nothing of hang boarding. Also, maybe a warning before at least the first few exercises about correct body position and finger care. Also, for some reason even though I set up two days alerts, it’s telling my my next one is 3 days from now. Just a few things to iron out and improve but the way it counts and speaks aloud is super awesome. Maybe if you enabled an option to have her make announcements at any intervals as in when hanging for a minute or more it would be nice to here 30 or 20 seconds intervals. Otherwise this app is freaking great. Stoked on it.

Finally!!!. Now that you can listen to music in the background this is the best hangboard app out there! 🙏🏿

Not User Friendly. This app isn’t user friendly at all. Switching between boards is impossible. And the preset workouts for each board seem random and aren’t geared correctly towards the skill level it’s labeled as.

Great App. Love the look and feel of the app. I'm able to customize workouts exactly the way I want. Initially I found some bugs with the app and reported it to the developer via Facebook. He responded with a fix within 24 hours! So awesome.

Worth the purchase if you want to up your game!. With the ability to see which holds you are picking to hang on and a very customizable interface with multiple types of hangboard workouts as well as everyday workouts such as sit-ups and push-ups, this app is a must have for any climber looking to improve their strength and up their climbing game!

Best out there, could be better.. Great app! Just missing the one thing of allowing you to listen to music instead of the voice.

Great trainer. I hope the developers and community keep making it even better with developments and contributions.

Helps. Gives a standard to work with. Easy to use. wish it would run without stopping my music from playing.

Pretty good. This app has made hang board training way more approachable for me. I love how it verbalizes the countdown and makes it easy for me to focus on hanging on with my full attention. I would love to see improvements around keeping the timer going when the app gets backgrounded (for when I am in the rest period) and better metadata indicating the best workouts for a specific hangboard.

Very pleased. I have 2 hang boards and both have workouts on this app. Just what I need in the am on weeks that I can't make it to the gym.

Great but needs improvement. This app needs to be fixed to keep the timer running while boulder trainer is running in the background and I have another app open. I wanna be able to check the gram while I’m resting!! Love boulder trainer, it’s my go-to hang boarding app and the update allowing music was huge. Keep up the good work!

Solid Hangover. I probably shouldn’t be able to write a review because I’ve made three workouts and really only ever do one. That one workout is just ten exercises and takes about ten minutes. Thing is with hangs, pull-ups and leg lifts it’s super concentrated—a little habanero sess. And because it’s not overwhelming I don’t have an excuse. So I’ve been using the app for a few years now and it’s been super helpful. Love that I can get super serious and make a big session or just do what I do now and if I’m fit I’ll knock down two or three of my minis.

Keeps me motivated while hanging!. Hanging for 30s at a time can be BORING (seems like more of a mental exercise). This app keeps me going because it times everything for you as soon as you start the workout.

App didn’t work, no help fixing it. PLEASE DO NOT BUY, DONT GET RIPPED OFF. I paid for the app, downloaded it, but when I go to try to sign up to create an account it tells me unknown error. I email support, and they tell me sorry we can’t help you. Other people have been able to use it. So you can go through the whole process of getting a huge 4 dollars back. It’s not about the money it’s all the time and energy I wasted that could have been put into something that actually works, or that the support team even cares about

Most boards are labeled incorrectly. Decided to get the app because it claims to support so many different boards so that any gym I would go to the app would be useful. However turns out that all the boards I had access to so far are labeled incorrectly in the app with some exercises even reference numbers that are not shown on the board. That unfortunately reduces the apps value to zero until this is fixed. Re. developer response: For example select Metolius Project Board, General Entry Level, Exercise 4, the referenced position is 14 for the left hand, 14 is not shown on the board. One out of many such errors. If a plan doesn't match a board you shouldn't make it available for selection for that board.

Very good app. I love this app. It has some bugs but that’s to be expected. Being able to download and build custom plans is amazing

Great app for bouldering beginners. This helped me improve by building strength and avoiding getting hurt by overdoing hangs. The philosophy of this app helped me take it easy and patiently build into a slow and safe way to improvement.

Impressed enough to write a review. I'm impressed by the thoughtfulness behind this app. Impressed enough to take a break and write the review. I just recently got a hangboard (actually went all out and build a small climbing wall too :) I haven't been disciplined with my training. Somehow came across this app today and went for it. Seriously, every hangboard in the market should come with a flyer for this app! Thanks for putting this out.

Bit confusing to use. Not the most user friendly but if you click around you’ll figure out how to use it

It can’t keep time very well. It’s great for connecting different boards and creating your workouts, but when it comes to actually keeping time this thing is pretty inconsistent. Some sets it seems like it’s counting down fast, other times it’s noticeably slow, and a 5 second countdown takes about 7 seconds (I’ve timed it out). This isn’t frequent but it happens enough during a 30-rep 7/3 hang routine that I notice it at least once or twice a week. Don’t recommend

Great App Simple to Use, Very Customizable. The app allows you to add your own specific hang board to your exercise routine, provides guidance on to you for custom workouts and is super simple to both program and use. Just remember you have to create a new folder to add your custom hang board.

Useless. Do not buy, this app is useless and their is no customer support for you to get a refund. It lets you choose from a wide variety of hang boards and lets you set what holds you will be using for the workou but DOESNT allow you to program rest times between sets of intervals. Setting up workouts is also very convoluted and inefficient. I just wanted to do basic Rock prodigy hangboard workout of 6 reps per set with 3 min break between sets and could not program that with this app. Ignore the pretty pictures of hangboards, it is absolutely useless as a hang board timer.

Exceptional app. This is just what I've been looking for. The app is very customizable, comes with workouts to get you started, and even an online community to share or download workouts. I hope there will continue to be updates, like having a total time at the bottom of the workout (showing how long the workout will take) and during the workout, a counter to tell you how many exercises left until the end...but so far so good. Do the workouts by yourself or with a friend--the voice reminders won't let you gab for too long before remembering you have to get back on the wall. 👍🏻

Does not work. Load the app, try to change hangboard, nothing happens. Try to get rid of all those Metolius plans, app crashes. Create an account to download plans, that works, but it does not download any plans. Still useful if you have a Metolius board and do your own plans I guess.

Problems signing up. It seems like a good app but I am unable to create an account to join the community to have access to other people programs but I keep getting an error. Wish that it would work a bit better. Also it seems that they don’t have the evo rings

Off to a great start. Amazing app considering the alternatives. I am seeing that although I have selected my board I am seeing plans for all the boards both in presets and shared boards. Kind of hard to find plans for your own board as there is no **filter** feature (even though I should only need plans for the selected board anyways). Would also be great to see the diagrams in the manage plans section where you see the moves on certain holds but without a reference to the area on the board where that hold is. With a bit of work creating my own plans so they work with my board I can see me using this app more and more.

Excellent function, minor quirks. The function of the app is great. It helps focus the time on the hang board and it allows great creativity creating a workout on whatever hang board you own. There are a few small quirks that make the user experience a bit awkward. For instance, the inability to change the workout from the main workouts screen is a little awkward. You must go into manage workouts, pick the workout you want, then go back to actually do the workout. There’s also some strange quirks when you do anything other than hanging and pulling. It’d be great if there was some extra function for other workouts like sit-ups and push-ups. The app lets you build them, it just says weird things.

Great little app to track your workouts.. The auto timer for each exercise is really helpful and keeps you on point.

This is exactly what I have needed. I have had a board sitting in the back of my closet for three years and it wasn't until I came across this app that I felt good about hanging it up again. Before this app I tried doing my own unstructured workouts and while they were effective I always knew there had to be a better way to utilize the board. I'm glad there are preloaded workouts and the ability to share workouts with others is also excellent. A++ thanks Jan!

Overall great. Not super intuitive. Also wish it announced where to put your hands before each set. But overall exactly what I've been looking for.

Best hangboard app in the App Store!. I love it more than the official beastmaker app. Online shared plans, multiple boards, etc etc etc just make it amazing. For a hang board app, I wasn’t expecting much, but it’s very well done. Definitely recommend!

In dire need of an update. There are a few free apps that offer the same functionality of this one, without the bugs. Protocols are a but clunky to modify, and currently the way to set a hold for an exercise has no visible reference to your selected board. Board selection is also broken, and the options for mainstream board are outdated. The main functionality of using the timer and cycling between exercises, adding rests, adding many duplicate hangs works well, but lots of free apps have similar functionality. I’m sure there’s a few other things that need work, but bottom line: it’s been 3 years since an update, and this is still an excellent tool that could have more users if it gets a bit of maintenance.

Good start. It would be nice if the app tracked or allowed you to record workouts done each day to keep on track

I want something that will allow me to log workouts. I personally don't want instruction through the app, but I would like a timer and a log.

Fun. My board is in the list, but when I chose it the workout plans still instruct you to use holds that aren’t there. Luckily you can take a picture of your board and add numbers for holds. Unfortunately it’s not very easy to add the numbers on both sides of the board if you’re not tech savvy. Overall I really like the app.

Just what I’ve been looking for. With all the major hangboards available to list which holds need to be used is amazing. It’s easy to customize workouts or download someone else’s. Great start to a great app!

Good find. A little bit of a learning curve to get the custom workouts just right but otherwise a great tool that helps my routine stay on track

Best on the AppStore. This hangboard timer is the best I've been able to find currently on the AppStore. I just wish it had a couple additional features, like: ability to input weight added or subtracted (the notes feature is way too much work as for a workout with 8 hangs/5 reps each would mean inputting weight 40 times) and a rest period that shows a preview of the next hang so you can start adding or subtracting weight. If those were added this would be a 5-star app for sure!

Registration is buggy.. Developer, please reach out to me. I can’t contact you through your website’s support avenue. The website needs improvement. Issues: -I can’t sign up for an online account —it won’t accept my last name because it’s too short, so I have to add letters. —it wouldn’t take and so I entered my info 5+ times and still couldn’t get an account made —Went to website and says I have to register in app.

Great Hangboard App!. I’ve been using this app for over two years and love the ability to easily create my own programs. The countdown feature is very useful as well. These, combined with access to other users programs make this a must have for any climber serous about gaining finger strength.

Glitchy waste of money. Looked like it could be a good addition, especially with all the hangboards it supposedly supports—there are many options, correct, however, no matter which board I choose, the Metolius wood grips continues to display for my workouts. Don’t waste your money.

Functional!. I never consistently used my hangboard until now!

best app available... wishing for iwatch integration now. Have tried most, if not all hangboard apps out and have stuck with this one the last year or so. I love the ability to custom build whatever routine you want. I have several hangboards and multiple different routines depending on my training cycle. I save them to the online *beta* site and it syncs across my two iphones and my ipad. Now the only thing I can wish for is iwatch support which would be perfect...

Great app for aiding fingerboard training. Yappers really use it provides a great mechanism to schedule and execute work out with timers and notifications for rest and start. It would be nice if they had a log mechanism to keep track of your past workouts for looking at your progress. But for now I just put that in a separate spreadsheet.

The voice countdown is broken.. I’ve used this app for a few years and I loved it for its convenience as a timer for my hangboarding workouts. However, it recently developed a problem where the voice countdown isn’t working properly. The timer stutters whenever the app talks, so instead of a precise 5 second countdown, it takes anywhere from 6.5-8 seconds to countdown “5” seconds. I love this app, but this problem makes it unusable.

Slabmulesandbox. I really like this app and how you can customize your own routine. Plus your can share it with your friends.

Hangboard brilliance!. I’ve been looking for an app like this! It can be customized so easily and has just the right features to make the intervals. Highly recommend it.

Best I could find. App suffers from lack of shared good quality training plans and interface is not very intuitive. But very workable and best app out there.

Good not great. Pros - easy interface - solid support for many hangboards - easy to customize workout - great timing cues for when hangs begin / end Cons (Constructive criticism) - no ability to listen to music or podcasts at the same time. (Please make this happen! Only a mutant would be willing to hang board without music / other distractions) - when in a workout, allow for the user to skip sections of the workout (as of now it will immediately auto play the very next exercise if you press the "back" button) - I have yet to be able to download / share workout routines with others on their website.. it seems buggy

Great for customised training. Not the best UI but great customisation for workouts and voice notifications are very handy.

Really like the app. I like the fact that I can arrange the timing intervals for my routines. Everyone should read a little bit about training because there is no “one size fits all” training program. It would be good if the app continued timing in the background so you could check other things on your phone while you rest. If you want someone to tell you what to do and give you different training programs then this is not your app.

Just a flashy timer... lazy work. I wonder if the 4 / 5 stars were given by friends. It’s just a flashy timer app. Disappointed that there are only a few preset regime. You can make your own plan. The developer could’ve spent time researching various regimes. You can see there’s some thought to outsource that to the “community” with BT online, but it’s an empty ghost town. Summary, they’ve got the skills to make a flashy pretty timer but were too lazy to include substantial training regimes. Not recommended

Unimpressive.. Wasted my money here. They must have paid for all those 5 star ratings. Very unimpressed.

Do not download spam. I downloaded this app and did not sign up to subscription. I found no way yet to contact developer and have reported problem through apple. Please unsubscribe me and return my money.

Brilliant App!. Exactly what I was after! Verbal countdown feature means I don’t need to look at my screen constantly. Images demonstrating what the exercise looks like as well as written descriptions. You can also input your exact brand/model of hangboard which assigns numbers to each hold for you based on difficulty. Love that I can customize and design my own workout and access workouts created by others on an online community. 10/10 Would recommend

Good app for a small fee.. Fantastic app, I like that it has most if not all of the hang boards for training purposes so that travelling individuals can still use it even thought they visit different gyms that have different hang boards. And for the cost of a coffee you get the benefits of hang boards training without the hassle. A must for the climber that want to improve on their finger strength and don't know where to start.

Absolute Rubbish. Unable to access Problem Solver workout-just defaults back to the Metolius workout. Very annoying and frustrating for an app that we have paid for not to function properly

Perfect. Exactly what you need to supplement your hang boarding sessions. The audible cues makes life a hell of a lot easier than keeping your eye on a stopwatch

Great app. Needs a way to play music

Room for improvement. Great idea app, it need resting time set up for exercises with multiple repetition.

Amazing!. Epic!

IOS 6 would be great. It would be great if it was compatible with IOS 6 and later… Those who only have iPod 4th generation can't use the app….

Really good hangboard training app!. I had been looking for something for hangboard interval training without the need to use chalky fingers on my device. I looked through a couple of stopwatches and interval timers when I came across this app. You can create your own training programme or use one of the templates to start off with. When you start training, a voice will tell you when to hang/do pull ups. And it has a picture of the hangboard you're using so you can see which pockets to use for each hang. It's pretty useful!

3.50$ for nothing. The app keeps closing when I try to start the training. Look nice, but you have to enter your le. trainning programs.

Great app. App works great. Helps keep me from straying off course during training

Accessible training. Need more training for all level for particular board. TB.

Good app. App works great. Workouts are easyish to make. More pre made work outs would be nice. The ones that are on the app already are easy to use and follow. I have Metolius board so it made things super easy. Recommend if you have a hang board an I phone need some guidance and it's winter time

Great App!. Works great with my Metolius Contact board. Wish I had found it sooner. Has the entry level and intermediate training available online. Looking for the Advance routine or may create my own routine.

Good. Lots of workouts for free online and supports a lot of boards.

Great app. Great app for hangboard. Few things missing: - Integration with Apple Health and Strava. - You can tell the app that you have multiple hangboards. - Training plan suggestion depending of your level. - Testing training to find your level.

Great app to train finger strength. The app is very customizable and the interval and test timers are awesome. You can download many workouts for various skills. I had a question with workouts and Jan was prompt to respond.

Don't buy it. Every time I open the app and try to load my workout, it just crashes.

Exactly what I was looking for. I'm new to bouldering and want to get better faster and this makes my training much easier. All I needed was a little direction and this app is perfect for it.

So far so good. It’s been a really helpful app to assist with finding routines and maintaining a track during hangs. Love how many boards are available and how easy it has been to use. I recognize the app is growing and I’m excited to see more routines being added (Public & Default) A quick feedback would be to have a clock of how long each full workout is before starting the routine that way you can anticipate how long you’ll be hanging for to finish. Nonetheless, certainly satisfied with my purchase and recommend to anyone looking to up their climbing 💪🏽👍🏽🙏🏽

Very good. This app is very good. Has a variety of training programs with a decent selection of fingerboards to choose from. You can also create your own workouts as well. Would be great in an upgrade to have a tracking tool of the workouts, just a suggestion.

Made me finally use my hang board. It does have every hang board that I could think of and it lets you make your own. The work outs are super easy to program and again, makes me actually use my board.

Great foundation. I dig it. It's customizable and helps lay down a foundation for going outside.

Could be better with a few changes. Great app, let's you customize your own workouts. Comes with preloaded workouts for specific boards. Biggest issues: No way to drag and drop exercises in the list for a custom workout. Every time you create a new exercise, you have to re type all the information again, even if you're keeping hang and rest time the same. When you create a new exercise, the last one you created should come up, so you can just change the hold numbers.

Wanted to love it.... I was stoked to use this app, but there’s a bug that’s not allowing me to save exercises onto a custom plan on iPhone 7. The preloaded workouts are ok, but if I can’t set my own plan it’s not worth the price.

Awesome!. Great app! Very functional if you have a board.

Can't listen to music!. Please allow the app to function with music. It is horrible that you can't use the training app and listen to music at the same time.

Great training app for climbers. If you're a climber interested in training with a hang board or rock rings you should get this app. It's the first climbing app that's actually useful

Garbage. Won’t change my hang board selection, tons of bugs, not worth any money for sure, just use a timer and a piece of paper and pencil haha not this garbage app

so limited. can’t add weight? lame!

Almost perfect. Love the app - wish it offered Watch support

Not working, can’t select different boards. No matter how many times I try to change boards, stays stick on default metolius board

Works great with my metolius hangboard!. Great app! I use it all the time and am getting 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Great app. Was happy to find an app specifically for hangboarding-- works great.

Boulder Trainer. This is my go to hangboard timer. Wouldn't be without it. I had a couple of issues but Jan took care of them right away. BT Online is great to store your workouts and easy to retrieve if something happens to your data.

Great for training. This is an amazing way to train and I highly recommend it to climbers looking to better themselves

This app is buggy and has no included plans.. I got this app hoping to find some ready to use hangboard training plans. It’s buggy, hard to use, and doesn’t have any plans available.

Waste of money. Don't waste your 3 bucks. App crashes every time. Want my money back.

Great app. I love this app - does everything I want it to do

Good, but a major flaw. This app would be amazing, it has great features and is easy to use. Love the image of your hangboard with the numbered holds so it's easier to remember what you are doing. However, Every time the app says start and stop, any music you were playing stops and does not resume. This is big because who wants to listen to silence when they train? If an update comes out that allows you to play music the whole time without having to press play every time, this app would be 5 stars easily.

Well Worth the Cash. Great app. Super helpful and the voice over helps you focus on the workout and hanging on to your board. My fingers and hands hate this app. I love it.

Broken. Doesn’t really work. Won’t let me add additional exercises to the default plan.

Just finished a workout.. It took me a minute to configure my board and load up the "easy" workout. (Anything but). The app made it clear when I needed to start and what holds to use. On the rest period it immediately switched to the next exercise so I could see the new holds and get ready. I didn't have to touch my phone with my chalk covered hands. Super plus. Overall, well worth the $3.

Awesome!. Love it!

Very good hang board selection. Good hang board app

Fantastic. Great app allows me to stay o. Top of my training

Awesome!. I was really excited for this app. I spent $3 and loved the way it looked. And I still do. This app is fantastic and really helps me up my game.

Works great with my Metolius Simulator hangboard. _

Cool. I have heard of bouldering for some time but haven't tried it out because I don't think I am physically strong enough. But thanks to this app I can train myself effectively and efficiently. This app has helped me work out an exercise plan. Hope I can stick to that, get fit, and try bouldering soon.

Solid app. Just finished my first session with this app. Overall it's great, definitely worth the price. Very customizable and hands free once you begin

Amazing app only has one problem. Every thing is great! I can add exercises really easily, when I am doing my work out it is great and I never have to touch it. The only problem that I have is that as soon as the voice comes on telling me what to do it turns off my music and I can't figure out how to fix this.

Awesome. Love this app!! Gives me some structure during hangboard workouts, when I can't make it to The Circuit!!

If only it had this one hangbored. I have the atomik holds yaniro power hangboard if they could update the app and add it that would be great

Great for beginners and experts. Love this app, I do wish music could be played at the same time but that is its only flaw I have seen this far. Muscles are feeling the burn!!

Been waiting for an app like this. Best hangboard training app I've found so far. Great design and easy to use. I love that it has pre-loaded specific hangboards.

Great. New version adds a web interface to create plans which is so much better. I was able to create a rice bucket routine which is pretty awesome.

Useful app for enjoy climbing and bouldering. Boulder Trainer is a very useful app for people who enjoys climbing and bouldering. Easy to create my own training plan make the training more efficient with this app. This app has Voice instructions for precise exercise timings,Works with every training device which has some holds and Manage multiple training plans

Great training app. Love this app, just wish I could still listen to music while the app is in use.

Great App!. This is exactly what I was looking for. Great for getting into a training routine. The voice cues throughout the exercises are great.

Perfect Quarantine Tool. Enjoying the routines. Helps to keep you accountable when the gyms are closed.

Awesome app!. Easy to use, and a decent selection of workouts online.

Really enjoy the app.... I really enjoy this app and would recommend it to others. Two things I would like to see that would make this a 5-star app: 1) being able to listen to music while using the app. As others have said, who wants to train in silence? 2) reminders as notifications on my phone. Currently it does not show any notification even when "training reminder" is turned on.

Changed my climbing game!. I used to make my own spreadsheets for hangboard workouts. This app has really helped organized my workouts. Grip strength is up!

Functional app.. If you are into climbing, this app will be a good choice. It can also manage your training plans and remind you to begin. Anyway, very nice!

Can’t use my own hang board. Camera is terrible and won’t let me use my own hangboard

not great. needs more to it. it's a very clumsy app. show me the plans. have a bunch of different training plans to choose from. beginner, intermediate, advanced ect. not sure how one dead hang and one pull-up are going to do anything???

Great for structure and motivation. I love this app! It's really great for beginners and advanced climber looking to work on upper body and core strength.

Tons of great functions. Awesome, easy to use, makes it easier to motivate myself to just get a hangboard workout in. Only thing I would like to see is more default workouts entered in, cuz it takes a long time to enter them in yourself

Cannot load hangboards other than Metolius. I go to hangboard manager and click on other boards and they don’t load. All I get is Metolius

best app for the price!. cool app for the climber who doesnt have time to go gym or crag.

Free Apps and spreadsheets are better. No instructions on how to build custom workouts. No option for break between sets. Really clunky interface. Can’t change count down voice. No option for countdown or start stop beeps or warning sounds.
