Simple and clean

Exactly what i was looking for! Love being able to enter multiple bars. Dark mode would be nice but whatever! Good job!

Incessant requests for reviews

In spite of the fact that I have in app review requests disabled, the app continues to request reviews very frequently to the point where it is unpleasant to use.

Another problem is when your weights inventory canโ€™t be used to give a desired weight. In that case, the app simply rounds down?! I would far rather have it show an empty bar and say that desired sight is not available.

Useful

The rep range tool is really useful and worth the low cost for the app.

Simple and works

Has the features I need and is easy to use. One suggestion is to add a prep warning signal near the end of the rest session so youโ€™re reminded to get ready before the work session starts.

Love it!

I wish I knew about this app sooner! The app works very well and is a huge time saver. I want to focus on lifting during my workout, not math. The premium version is well worth it. I have several different bars that I use and the premium version lets me easily add them to my inventory and select them for loading. Easy and intuitive to navigate. Highly recommend!

Great app!

Gym math is hard mid-workout. This app takes all the thinking out of it.

The only request I have is to have a blended inventory setting to have both kg and lbs in plates due to whatโ€™s available in a gym sometimes. Like I want to calculate 150lbs using both metric and imperial plates I have available.

Double check the math

Iโ€™ve been using this a while and started noticing inconsistencies then I started double checking the math and sometimes itโ€™s wrong! Definitely defeats the purpose if I have to do the math. There are better options!

Not all advertised premium features exist!

One of the advertised premium features actually exist. Main reason I bought was for the percent tables, and they are nowhere to be found. False advertising!

This app HAS Potential..BUT

I downloaded the free version to check it out. I liked it, but I have a #35 bar that I use for overhead movements and so I purchased the upgrade. When I load #155 on the bar (45&15โ€™s on each side plus the 35lb bar) it works great. But when I move to #185 it says I donโ€™t have the inventory. I guess it will not remove the 45โ€™s and replace them with 35โ€™s 25โ€™s and 15โ€™s to make it work. If I remove the 45โ€™s from inventory it works, but I should not have too. The app should save me time. The app does not work properly and until the bugs are fixed, I have to give it 2 stars. If this is fixed this will be a 5 star app no doubt.

Bar weight

So I go to planet fitness and I donโ€™t think their bar starts off at 45lbs but it starts off at 25lbs.I need to accurately weigh out my weights and I paid for the upgrade but I can change the weight of the bar!!
