Automatic saving

Gainz app: Feature Requests

While filling out the sets, I noticed that entered data is lost if you don't explicitly click "Save" before returning to the main screen. There is currently no warning or automatic saving.

The best User Experience (UX) options:

  1. The 'Seamless' solution (Auto-save):

    • How: As soon as you leave a field or change a value, the app saves it immediately in the background.

    • Extra: Change the 'Save' button to a 'Cancel' or 'Restore' button in case someone makes a mistake.

    • Why: This fits perfectly with the desire for "as little clicking as possible." The client never has to think about saving again.

  2. The 'Safety Net' solution (Smart warning):

    • How: Only when a user has actually changed a value and then tries to leave without saving, a short message appears: "Save changes?" with the options [Yes] [No].

    • Why: This prevents unnecessary pop-ups (if nothing has changed, you won't see anything), but it does protect the client's data.

In a training environment, where focus and speed are important, I think Auto-save (option 1) is the superior experience. It feels "smarter" and completely removes a manual step from the athlete's workflow.

    App wordt dan onnodig langzamer, door meer db pushes

    en het komt soms voor dat je een workout wilt laten zien aan een client (voorbeeld wilt invullen) of aan een kennis (app laten zien hoe je ej workouts hebt ingevuld). Als je dan data veranderd die je niet wilt veranderen, kun je gewoon de workout afsluiten.

    Workout wordt wel in zn geheel automatisch opgeslagen, dus als je telefoon leeg is kun je na opladen weer verder gaan door een “workout te starten" > workout hervatten”

    data gaat nooit echt verloren, tenzij je dus bewust wilt wissen.
