  • Long time companion

    I have been using this app for like 7 or 8 years now. It has been perfect to allow me to build various workout plans with my own custom exercises as well as tracking weights and sets and PRs. The BEST app I had found for this purpose. I also want to give a shoutout to the developer. This guy has consistently updated this app to ensure I can stull use it after all these years. My teenage son has just started working out with me and he loves it as well!

  • Great app

    It took them 4 years and some change of asking but they finally wore me down and got this review, overall it’s a really solid app and is excellent for keep track of your exercises and PRs.
  • Still Strong

    I have been using this app for 5 years and I have always been satisfied. I enjoy the simplicity of use and the given timer between sets. I am sure there are many things that could be added, but again, the simplicity keeps it functional and easy to use.
  • Best weight training app

    Great app, best i’ve used. Only reason it’s not 5* is because there’s a few things that could be slightly improved on.
  • Best Gym App

    Pros: It keeps track of sets and reps from your last session so you don’t have to remember. You’re not limited to pre-programmed exercises so you can name your own. And the timer buzzer is brief and doesn’t mess with your gym jams.

    Cons: Sessions aren’t synch’d to my Apple watch and the timer only offers set increments of 30 seconds, 1 minute, 1 minute 30, etc., so it’d be nice to set your own rest time.

  • 4 years into this app

    I have been consistently lifting using this app for approximately 4 years now. I have switched phones several times and had to restore from backups. I have never had any issue with any of the functions that have been built into the product it works superbly every time. That being said there are a few options that could use some tweaks or additions that would make this app unstoppable. First off the tweets, while the workout logging and tracking is excellent the input steps for weight or other vitals is a bit of a chore and could use some simplification. For additions integration with apple health for workout logging and Apple Watch support would be fantastic. Also and this one that I honestly was surprised wasn’t already available, daily and weekly volume totaling, so that accurate and simple training volume metrics could be easily recorded. Other than those few things and even without them this app is worth 2.99 any day of the week. You won’t regret the custom exercise builder or the copy function for previous workouts.

  • Easy to use, zero clarity/support to back up logs

    Have been using for years. However, between the settings and the developer, there is ZERO instructions on how to sync your data to a profile or export to a cloud or something. I spent an hour googling and trying to contact the developer but the link is just a one page ad to download the app via the AppStore. I tried to export/back up data but it says “no email configured” yet there are ZERO options to do so. So confusing as I could have sworn I’m the early versions it was simple to export/import your logs AND EVEN gym schedules/workout routines. I started using this app in conjunction to Body Spartan. Body Spartan showed how to import their program to this app but can’t find those instructions as Body Spartan has come out with their junk app.

  • Great app! Use it religiously at the gym.

    Love the app but really needs to be updated in terms of resolution to matching latest iPhones. I have an XR and this app looks like it’s designed for the 5s. Function wise I still love the app itself hence the 4 and not 5 stars
  • Over all good

    This app is great. I have had it for a few years now. It isn’t too complicated and has just about everything you need for a gym app. My only complaint is there isn’t a “share” feature. When I work out with a buddy it would be nice to share a workout plan so we could be on the same page instead of taking all that extra time to copy each others plan manually. Other then that I think it’s great and use it all the time.
