Great App - some issues

I love this app.

The old version potentially had less glitches. I cannot seem to add a superset exercise without it erasing the name of the exercise + there is always an error notification at the top of the screen.

Also seem to have trouble creating new exercises - the ‘add name’ button is there but non-responsive.

Would love to see this fixed.

Great app all around otherwise

Response from developer

Hello! Thank you very much for the feedback. I want to fix these issues asap. Can you please send a video with reproducing it? It will really help. Please send it to gymjoy.ios@gmail.com

Update ruined it

New update looks cool etc. but deleted 7 years worth of workout stats and all my plans. Very unfortunate

Response from developer

I'm truly sorry for the loss of your data following the recent major update of my app. This update was essential as the old database framework was outdated and no longer supported, posing a risk of the app stopping to work in the future. The new version uses the new SwiftData database framework for improved stability and iCloud sync across all devices. I understand how distressing this situation is and regret any inconvenience caused. But I had to do it sooner or later.

All my plans had been deleted

I had different my plans set up, the new update has deleted then all. Will look at using a different app in future

Pay £5.99 for a plan you can use only once

Why there’s no restart option on your personal plan? 😅

I was use it mb a 3 weeks , so that good and easy to use

Free options is enough for me, but I not understand why it tells me use smaller weight then I can do ,and I always writing my own kg so I use it like a writing 📝

App almost works how I want

I have supersets/circuits in my routines.
I would like for the option for app to automatically display the next exercise in the superset/ circuit rather than display the next set for the same exercise.

sweet but could use some things

overall a really great app for a decently cheap price, could use a couple little additions though like being able to use a timer for some exercises like planks or being able to put down that you need to do as many reps as possible or having a body weight category. with that said though it truly is one of the best gym tracking apps on the app store, it has an amazing beautiful design and great functionality!

Great app - clean and simple

Hi folks

Just started using Gym Joy, and really liking it. The clean, simple interface is your winning element - keep that up. I’ll post a more comprehensive review on the App Store once I’ve spent a bit more time getting used to it.

In the meantime, two requests for simple improvements which shouldn’t clutter the simple interface...

When setting up an exercise as part of a routine, could you:

1. Provide the capability to select the term of
measurement eg.
- Weight: kg / lb (for weight exercises)
- Time: secs / min (eg. for battle ropes)
- Number, as total or “each side” (eg
walking dumbbell lunges)

2. Provide capability for optional entry of
brief notes, eg. your personal settings on
a particular machine.

Cheers, and keep up the good work! Keep away from all the dross & distracting eye candy found on most other apps. Clean, simple, effective - that’s your winning formula.

Poor weight

Clearly not done any research with free weight. Weight increase in 5 when weight can be in even number.

Response from developer

You can set any weight increase/decrease for each exercise. Swipe left on an exercise, tap Edit and change it. If you tap on weight, keyboard appears, so you can set even decimal number. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at hi@gymjoyapp.com

Deceiving app

Several different issues first on the create a plan pay 5.99 go to it you are not able to make your own workout unless you put day of the week next is only use exercises that are Weight bearing, not like using row machine or bike, jump rope! And you have pay additional 3.99 for the super mass work out in short if give it less then one star that what it needs! I was looking for something to long my workouts on phone I will go back to paper chalk what payed is as a loss!
