Great program to build strength and muscle
Such an amazing app!
I’m so glad to find this app. Makes following the 531 program so easy. It has all the features you need. On top of it, you can purchase it for a lifetime. Such a great developer!!
Now it is a five+
05/20/26 Still a 5!
9.24.24 I have no idea when I wrote the last review but this still remains the best 5/3/1 app out there! Developer responded to my review with a little insider info, “Long press on the weight amount and a box will pop where you can enter weight in digits!”
Old review: Would have been 5 stars but the only way to change the weight in a lift is by using the +\- at .5 increments! Might be away to adjust the rate of change in the settings but haven’t found it.
The authors get major props for the options and functionality they built into this thing!

Great app for base 531 lifting.
This app is great for basic 531 lifting (BBB, FSL, and so on). It missed a lot of what’s in Beyond, but you can probably brute force it in if you wanted to.
There is also a great Apple Watch integration to feed your lifting information to your hand so you aren’t having to constantly keep checking your phone. Great for lifting so I can try to come out a bit, it’s as close as you can get to pen & paper but with the convenience of an app.
A couple minor (again - very minor) complaints:
One is that the watch app frequently seems to forget you are lifting and loses your workout progress. It almost seems to never recognize if it’s in a session and run in the background. I am unsure what causes it but it happens quite frequently. Not the worst issue to go back into the app to send info back to your watch though, but it would be nice if the active workout didn’t lose progress so frequently if the watch goes to sleep for a brief moment.
Two is that editing your template can be a bit of a pain with an unnecessary learning curve. Once you know where you can edit from (Settings > Templates) it isn’t too bad, but it seems unnecessarily complicated for simply adjusting accessory lifts
It is still a 5/5 app though.

Great Weightlifting app
I like this app because it is simple, helps you improve steadily, and it’s free.
