Looking for new app to replace Johnson & Johnson 7 minute

@vlisco Hey. Similar position for me. J&J is a simple app that works really well. Simple UI and configurable for those who are occasional users. Couldn’t find anything similar. While I don’t mind paying, I want a fairly static app and am less interested in monthly subscriptions. Will also record my favourite workouts.

@vlisco I use the J&J 7 minute app all the time. For those on Android, you can continue to sideload the app by simply downloading and installing the APK file from any number of websites. Here's one that has the most recent version (2.8.5), for example:

@holytrinity Anything for iPhone users? Thanks

@hesperus I'm on Android so I don't have recommendations for you, apologies. Looks like the Nike Training app might help you.

@holytrinity Thank you!

@holytrinity That site just has a link to the current version (edit: link sends you to google play store not an apk) which crashes after loading. F-droid and apkmirror do not have any version of the app. How are you downloading the apk?

 

[holytrinity]

@barry16 It's still available on the Google Play appstore. If you are on android just download it from there.

@barry16 The key to prevent it from crashing is to DENY access to phone and contacts access upon first launch.

@holytrinity I tried that and it doesn't work for me. App keeps crashing. I tried installing and clearing cache and reinstalling but it still crashes. Oddly enough, I can install and use on my Chromebook but not my Samsung s23.
Edit: it's the reminder settings that ruin it. If I don't go set those, it works!
