Confirm Remove From Workout before Removing

[Kent Rigby]

More times than I care to count, I have hit the Remove From Workout button in the mobile app accidentally and deleted an excercise from a workout.  I think it would be a great feature to ask for a confirmation before deleting anything.

I am using the Android app, BTW.

Hey Kent-
Good idea, thanks for taking the time to share some recommendations.  I thought I'd check in and give you an update relevant to your post because we have a new version coming out towards the end of summer that should make everyone happy.

We've gone back and forth on this issue for years whether to include a "confirm?" button or not for many of our features.  Some users complain that it slows them down if we always pop up an "are you sure?" or "confirm?" while others want a popup as a guard against accidentally removing something.  So far we put in popup confirmations when the action is permanent (like deleting a workout forever) but we don't have a popup for things that you can restore like removing a workout from your Active list.

However, in your example its a different scenario because its the placement of buttons in the app that's causing the accidental action.  The solution, coming out in about a month or so, is a redesigned mobile interface that will make it a lot harder to accidentally remove an exercise. 

This way you won't get slowed down by confirmation popups if you want to remove a bunch of exercises while at the same time the chances of accidentally hitting the wrong button will be greatly reduced.

We'll give everyone a heads up when our new version is ready.  Thanks again for giving us some good feedback.
