This app needs a lot of work to overtake fitness buddy as my gym app of choice. Firstly, all exercises need to have visual instructions. Some do, some don't. I don't know what every exercise is, I can't just pick ones from this app and do them because I can't see how you do them. Then there seems to be no way of changing the units of weight and measurement when recording stats. You can only save your weight in kilos and height in cm. this seems off as when you add workouts you can change the weight units between lbs and kgs...
There are no preinstalled programs. You can add by clicking the download button which opens a we page but once you add one program I can't find a way to get back to that webpage to download more programs.
There just seems to be a lot of rough edges that need smoothing out, it's not particularly intuitive. These are a couple of things I don't like but the visual cues are the main thing that will stop me using this. Disappointed I had to pay for this. The positive reviews swayed me.

Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. We've been regularly adding exercises and illustrations over the past three years since this review was posted - there are many more now. You can change units for weights and measurements by tapping the cog icon on the home screen of the app. We have recently done a big upgrade to our Workout Program library, and there are more improvements coming very soon, including integrating it into the app, rather than linking to a separate website.
Great App for tracking workouts
Use this app 6 days a week to track all of my lifts. Works great. You can change the settings from kg to lbs. Crashes sometimes but you can always pull it back up where you left off and they actively release updates to fix bugs and add new features.
It's worth the money
It's worth the money but it has some glitches, and I have crashed it.
I tried editing an exercise but I can't unless make copy and when I choose the copy and edit that's when it always crashes.
I will like when I'm in programs when I click edit to be able to arrange not only to delete and star something. In programs had the option to group 2 workouts and name the group for example back and biceps workout group it and name the group Monday or any other day.
NEEDS WORK
I use it but when the problems are fixed I'll change my rating to 5 stars.

really great
Well, finally I've found an app that let's you quickly check off your sets as you go, even timing between sets. Save up different workouts (eg Legs one day, Upper body the next) and call it up and check it off. Simple, and crazy that no other app does this easily.
Fitocracy is a bit slicker, but cumbersome when it comes to easily recreating sets and ticking off when done.
Very impressed, only two comments:
1. Sometimes in the nice view where you select weight size, it doesn't go low enough.
2. Timer done doesn't make a sound, just a message pops up. A sound would be great.

Great App (advancing each update)
I'm an intermediate body builder, and this app is crucial to my progress. I previously used Fitness Buddy for over a year, which is good but they haven't updated anything needed. Your app is far more intuitive, user friendly and is far easier to check off sets in the midst of a workout.
Excellent app that any gym regulate would fall in love with after just one use in their workout. The best part is the team truly listens to your suggestions and incorporates them into the updates, when possible.
