Get Big

Great free alternative to Stronglifts 5x5 app. Functionality is the same.

Was free

App was free for a long time. Then the owners got greedy and want people to buy a subscription. Lost my history & workouts. Emailed support and their arrogant response was why don’t I just pay. Don’t bother with this app. Jerks for owners.

Response from developer

Hi, this app does not have a subscription model. It offers core features for free and an optional one-time upgrade for Pro features. I think there may be some confusion with another app. Please double-check that you’re reviewing the correct app.

Love it

This is great for 5x5 beginners like myself. Keeps me on track. Only thing is
I wish I could make it play a sound after the timer goes off. Something to alert you to start your next set.

Response from developer

Hi, Thank you for your 5-star review. We’re glad you like our 5x5 workout app. Please enable notification permissions to hear a sound when the timer goes off. Send me an email if you need further instructions.

Great app with helpful features

Excellent alternative to stronglifts, actually a better app all around. Love the historical tracking features and the usability of the weight calculator.
My only issue is that it occasionally says I don’t have Pro and I have to restart my phone to re-enable it. But I’ve never lost any data or anything, so not a big deal.
Would love to see a social/sharing feature added someday so you can track workouts with gym buddies.

Best app for 5x5

Stronglifts 5x5 betrayed me by charging me a subscription after I had already paid for
lifetime years ago….

Keeping it Simple

Just as good as the OG StrongLifts app—before it got locked behind a monthly subscription. If all you need is a simple, no-frills timer and 5×5 tracker, this app gets it done.

Can’t modify weights after trial

This app does all the basics right, sadly it fails after 15 sessions. Modify the weight is a base function for any weightlifting app (in case you get hurt or stall).

I highly recommend putting the charts behind Pro instead modifying the weights. Otherwise this app is phenomenal.

Response from developer

Hi, The editing weights issue was fixed in the December 2025 update. Please update to the latest version and consider updating your review. Thank you.

Perfect for me

This app is simple and extensible. No extra fluff. Just focus on your workout
