### 3/5 — Links to articles are not working

*2021-06-20*

Links to articles on the app don’t work. Please fix!

### 3/5 — Cool

*2021-01-28, version 1.1.0*

Cool app but I don’t like how it starts at 70% and not 50

### 3/5 — Add adjustable date figure

*2020-02-23*

Good application, but I would like an adjustable date figure...if you miss logging you max rep on the day it occurred currently you are unable capture the accurate day the lift actually happened.

### 3/5 — Nice little app but..

*2019-10-07*

1 cannot add # sets
2 cannot vary weights between preset weights

Otherwise ok

### 2/5 — Many missing features

*2019-06-06*

-Should have more increments on weights for reps eg. No recommended weight for 5 rep Max!
- notes are very limited, can't change them after you make a note
- can't log a set from anything but the current date
-should be able to tap on the last set for an exercise and see the recommended weights for different rep ranges instead of having to recalculate each time

### 2/5 — Don’t get just go online

*2019-05-29*

Only goes down to 70% also can’t put in decimal.

### 2/5 — Ugh..

*2018-12-03*

NEED to be able to change the date for lifts on the line graph, CANNOT upload old information.

### 4/5 — Convenient

*2018-09-29, version 1.1.0*

The bodybuilding.com articles are a bit unnecessary.

### 3/5 — Not happy

*2018-06-08*

Unable to enter more than 11 reps on the keypad.
Key pad for weight doesn’t allow decimal place for kilos, for example: back squat - 52.5 x 15.
Wish I hadn’t purchased the app.
The free online version is better.
Don’t see where I can enter other lifts that aren’t on list.

### 3/5 — Useful

*2018-05-24*

Very helpful but small things like reports showing overall progress would be nice. Very basic

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Single digit reps?

*2022-06-13*

I can only enter single digit reps, this app is garbage. What if I did 10 reps? Oh nooo I broke the app. 

Enjoy my $2; the only thing worse than theft is discovering the thief was grossly incompetent.

### 1/5 — I keep getting billed

*2021-01-11*

I keep getting billed for this app. No way of stopping it from what I can find.

### 1/5 — Waste of $2

*2020-12-07*

The free web calculator is better. Only goes down to 70% which is ineffective on deload weeks or calculating endurance weight. Also can’t change the date so can’t upload old data. Don’t waste your money

### 1/5 — Nessuna funzionalità in più di quelle gratuite

*2020-10-10*

I punti che rendono questo acquisto uno spreco di soldi:
-Impossibilità di filtrare la ricerca degli esercizi nella storia, ovvero esce l’elenco di tutti gli esercizi, ma se io volessi vedere i record di un singolo esercizio non potrei, escono tutto insieme
-Non si possono modificare le note una volta scritte
-Non si può modificare la data del pr, deve essere per forza la data in cui è stato inserito
-Design banale e scadente
MODIFICATE QUESTE COSE, GRAZIE

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2019-10-10, version 1.1.0*

I lost $2.00 because this app doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — No Decimals?

*2019-05-09*

The lack of decimals poses a problem for metric users: our barbell weights increase in 2.5 kg increments. 

The option to switch the estimated 1RM formula appears to be broken, too.

### 1/5 — This shouldn’t be priced

*2019-02-24*

No reason this app is priced at $1.99 if i can just google the same thing

### 1/5 — Should have went with a free app

*2018-08-17, version 1.1.0*

This app does one things, and one thing only-calculate your 1-RM. There are free apps that do much more. Id like to get my $2 back, but instead I’ll consider payment to warn others not to waste their money on this. Bodybuilding.com, you can do better - Push yourself.

### 1/5 — Bad app purchase

*2018-08-01*

Not worth 2 dollars. Does the same thing many free online apps do.

### 2/5 — Numbers won’t work

*2023-08-12*

Can’t type 3-9 numbers in “reps”, buttons just won’t work. Tried to delete and re install the app, no result.

Also it would be nice to have the option to count uneven numbers like something.5kg

### 5/5 — Great for calculating reps

*2025-07-07*

Great for calculating one rep max and predicting number of reps at different weights. It also saves your maxes. It would be nice if the saved maxes would show max weight for different amounts of reps.

### 5/5 — Good but could be better

*2023-02-15*

Wish I could have my percentages at all times. But I like the app overall.

### 5/5 — Great, simple app

*2021-02-16*

Cool simple app to track progress. It would be cool if we could see what percentile our max is among lifters.

### 5/5 — Great chart !

*2020-12-10*

Could you please improve the user interface. It would be useful to select exercise and see the PR max chart. Instead of scrolling thru all the past workouts in order to find the type of exercise I wanna check.

### 5/5 — Great Tool

*2020-10-20*

Quick easy to use tool to help track and plan for progressive overload.

### 5/5 — Easy to use, a little cluttered

*2019-09-24*

I’m only using 25% of the exercises, I would like to clear the rest.

### 5/5 — Abroad

*2018-10-24*

Think you and arms ends revanchist too style.

### 5/5 — Needs an update

*2018-08-17*

So there is no way to put 4 digits in the weight column. Please fix.

### 4/5 — Great but….

*2026-06-12*

Love the app and have literally used it for years. One thing it needs is a view of workouts by name instead of by date, because it’s a little hard to find a previous workout type if I haven’t done it in a while because the app lists workouts according to actual workout dates rather than type. But I think most people are not interested in the bench they did three times ago (and it’s in every individual dates thing anyway) but are more likely looking for a type of workout. Please make this change and reach out to me if this isn’t clear.

### 4/5 — Great

*2018-11-06*

This app has all the essentials. A nice improvement would be to have a feature that allows to to tap on a saved max and get the same details that you get when you calculate it for the first time. It would just make referencing previous accomplishments easier.
