I'm not trying to say that other apps don't also provide great advice (especially RP, I love watching Dr Mike and have learned a ton from him), but I think that a lot of the flexibility in the programs in these apps are primarily for marketing purposes (like are you really gonna look like Black Adam after following the Black Adam program? unlikely..)
My marketing is for a different niche - people who lift weights, see that they have variability set to set and day to day, and want a program that will help them quantify that variability and understand what it means. One thing that works really well in my program is detecting when you need a rest or deload, because the baseline comparison is rigorous and sensitive - if you have one bogey set, it might not mean much, but when you see that even your opening sets are at or below baseline after a stretch of workouts, that's a pretty good signal, and that's hard to get with most apps.
