“WOD” Iphone App for CrossFit Logging Updated and Still Awesome

I know pretty much all the Iphone junkies at the gym are using WOD for logging their workouts and records. If you haven’t gotten the latest update yet, check the app store on your phone for the 1.2 update and you’ll be pleased to see the developer tackled the couple criticisms noted in the commments of my previous post on the app. The two big fixes are that the feeds from the gym now display in full, so the workout still gets pulled in even if Christian decides to write an essay and burry the WOD at the bottom. Bonus, you even get the pictures (although they are a little trimmed). The other big thing is that you are not just limited to today’s workout in the feed. You can now select from the 10 latest workouts. So if you miss a day or prefer to log your workout the day after you perform it, it’s no longer an issue.

A couple other features that look interesting but have been buggy for me are the new “export to email” and “import from url” feature. The export to email will allow you to send a backup of your workout log to yourself through email. The import from url is a little less clear but I’m assuming you can post that exported workout log to a website and then re-import it back into your phone if you lose your data. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to get the emails to send even after trying a number of different settings. And, if you hadn’t already noticed, I’m a bit of a geek so I’m fairly certain my settings are correct. In any case, a minor criticism of a still stellar and improving CrossFit app. I’ll shoot the developer an email to see if the export to email issue can be fixed. I could see that being very useful if you wanted to send your workout logs to an instructor or if you wanted to pull the data into a website for some kind of web based viewing.

Also be sure to check out the recently posted tour of the app on the developers site if you are at all confused about how to use the program.
