Could be done with a button
Comment on I tried another Iron Man-style exoskeleton and now I'm stronger than ever | TechRadar

What’s your problem with the app? It sounds like a legit reason for one. Kinda dumb to just condemn apps regardless of context.

How would a button give you instructions and feedback…?

Usually the issue with app dependent products, is that it rely on a fucking cloud connection. That imply that if the cloud service goes down or the company collapse,
yourtheir product become unusable. Yet all corps continue to do it as it is super handy to track their pigeon users. Data can then be sold or used to plot growth curves that gives their CEO an erection.Also it probably requires you to have a google or apple account.

Well that’s a whole load of assumptions based on absolutely nothing…

My point being, the article lists perfectly good reasons for the app to exist, but you’ve made assumptions about it based solely on absolutely no data. What’s the point of linking an article about an unrelated app and company?
