Hi there, thank you very much for your new features. One thing I would like to be added: after having done a self-created workout for the first time, it would be nice to get the time result stored to compare to completions the next times plus PB extra points if completed within less time than before… Best wishes Alex

More points from me:
The biggest problem of the workout builder remains the absence of exercises that I’d like to add. So, if I want to use the builder for specific exercises, but they are not present in the catalog, I really cannot use the builder. There is also no workaround. Possible solutions:
add a lot of missing exercises (not sure if you can cover everything, I think some variations will always be missing)
add a way to create an exercise manually, within the custom workout (can cover absolutely everything)
add a way to add notes to an exercise, so I could add some other exercise as a placeholder and leave a note like “actually, this should be X” or “actually, do it with added weight Y, although the app shows a bodyweight option”
From my perspective, 2) is the easiest solution and it would cover all exercises. 3) could still be useful to make notes on variations, for example. I see 1) as least important for the builder per se, but in general more exercises could be good.
