Liftin' User Reviews

Top reviews

Ui is clean

I feel like that the user interface is easy and intuitive to use. I think on a visual level it looks appealing the way you can pick your sets your reps etc. The only problem I have with the app is that when it comes to like cardio related workouts and equipment. He doesn’t necessarily have that option because you know people may want to do cardio and set a timer but you have to kinda. Have you make a loop to do it so if you could change it then nothing the app will be a different five star out of 10

Finally an app that has what I’ve been looking for

I’ve been looking for a weightlifting app that gives the user the ability to set alternate exercises in case a machine is taken for example. Absolutely makes this app a W in my book. So far so good. 2 features I am looking for is showing the heart rate monitor where the timer is and an option to pause the workout.
Also, I noticed the watch doesn’t fully sync with the iphone app properly all the time when it comes to rest time.

Thank you for the review! You can pause workouts on Apple Watch by swiping left and pressing the pause button, or on iPhone by tapping the timer. The HR should be displayed under the rest timer on Apple Watch, if you have any questions please reach out to me at support@liftinapp.co. — Valter

Best Apple Watch integration

Took me a while to experiment with all sorts of apps, but all I wanted was to leave my phone behind and use only my watch while working out. At last! Brilliant and clean app with a lot of adjustments to make it to your taste. Love being in the zone and feeling the timer buzz on my wrist to get going again! Valter is very responsive to any bug fixes as it’s his baby. Highly recommend this app to take your workout to the next level.

Great, One Wish

This is a great app and I must applaud the developer for not using tracking SDKs, as well as supporting the latest iOS features.

The one thing holding me back from using this regularly is the logging/entry model. The app is designed to have you pre-define your sets, reps, and weight, and then when you are working out, just mark them as complete (or tap multiple times to mark fewer reps completed). However, my workouts are rarely this predictable. An entry method like Strong or Liftlog+ that gives me a text entry for the weight and reps for each set, with my goal pre-filled, is much quicker and easier when I might have an extra rep or two in me, or decide to go up in weight.

If Liftin’ supported a quick entry model like this, I’d be using it every day. As it stands, editing each set in a workout is too fiddly for me to get in a groove with this.

If Liftin’s model of entry works for you, however, it’s a great choice.

Thank you for the review! Liftin’ is optimized for predefined programs, which indeed adds some extra work if you have dynamic workouts. I will explore adding other options for input in the future to cover more use cases! — Valter

Awesome

I’d been looking for an app for a long time with a clean design that supported automatic progression and custom workouts.

This does the job perfectly and has great Apple Watch integration as well.

Love this app!

Was using Strong despite that app never getting new updates and features being outdated. Didn’t switch because I was just used to using it.. but after being tired of active calories and sometimes other data not logging properly after a workout from my Apple Watch decided to switch. So happy I did, this app’s features and updates far surpass that of strong. I love the UI, the easily set up of progressive overload and the widget / live widget. Works flawlessly with my Apple Watch series 9 too. Great app, highly recommend over the alternatives.

Streamline your tracking system👀

I have never reviewed an app before, but Liftin has truly changed the game for me!
After trying multiple digital weightlifting tracking systems, and even creating a couple of my own, I was never really satisfied with the results—unintuitive, clunky, hard to tailor for unconventional routines, terribly designed, and with an overwhelming amount of features that were not really useful for me, I almost give up and go back to good old pen and paper! To my luck, I discovered this app a couple of months ago and I have to say without a doubt that this is the first only app so far that I can actually recommend for weightlifters that are looking to streamline their tracking with the flexibility of customizing almost every variable of an exercise. If you are looking for a simple but effective solution, look no further because Liftin’ has got you covered! Props to Valter for developing on his own such a valuable product🙌🏼

Love this app (one year in)

I got this app about a year ago and enjoyed it almost instantly. A year later and I like the app even more. If you like to make your own programs then there’s a small learning curve on how to set up things from scratch, but once you do it makes for a great gym experience. The app helps you focus on just doing your workout by making it only a couple taps to log each set. In addition the app receives consistent useful updates. The plate calculator update is what prompted me to make this review. Incredibly intuitive visuals

Continues to Innovate!

I had been looking for this exact functionality a year ago when i found Liftin’. The amount of time and energy they have put into the flow of managing the scheduling and progression of so many workouts is mind blowing. Even the feedback email is responded to at lightening speed and with a personal response. This is a fantastic app that is continually being improved and is clearly developed and supported by a class act of a team. Thank you!

Great minimal workout app

I've been using Liftin' for a year now to stay on top of my weights and reps. I needed a minimal app that was easy to use with the Apple Watch and Liftin' integrates so well!

It's so easy to use after setting up your routine, there's no need to fuss with it during your workout. The progress tracker is also great with a feature to add progress photos, and graphs to see how you are progressing over a month or year.

The handy watch alerts to start your next set, the option to add a variety of equipment, custom exercises, the post workout page that appears after finishing--all of it is well thought out. The developer is also very responsive and is constantly maintaining and taking suggestions.

There is something beautiful about the design and intuitiveness that beats out the rest for me. Keep up the great work!
