All right, now hold on a second.

If you're going to say that the workout app is bad, you're going to have to use more words because it's so freaking bad.

It's so bad.

The thing of it is, is in short, the way it works today, it's been long enough for me that I've forgotten exactly how it worked in previous versions of WatchOS.

But the way it works today is you go to the workout app and it presents you with a vertically scrolling list of workouts, which is fine.

And it's pretty, I think, and you might not agree.

Right.

So as you're scrolling this list, all you see is the different workout types, right?

And then what will happen if you're anything like me is you'll see the workout type you want appear at the bottom of the like three different positions that they sort of kind of show on this list.

And so what you'll do is let's say I'm about to do a HIIT workout, you know, an H-I-I-T workout.

I'll see that appear on the bottom.

And I'll mash the icon.

But in the time of stop scrolling on the digital scroll or digital crown and go to tap that bottom most icon that to be fair is ever so slightly off the screen, then magically a play button appears.

But Marco, is that the play button for the high intensity interval training workout?

Oh, no, my friend.

That's the play button for the one above the hit workout because it's in... I don't want to use the I word, but it is bananas.

It is utterly bananas that you have to wait for this animation to appear before you can hit the play button.

And by the way...

Why is there a f***ing play button in the first place?

Just let me hit the damn workout type in the first place.
