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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 3/5 — Solid app so far *2026-07-21* It’s a good replacement for stronglift but it doesn’t sync to the Health app. I paid for premium and it still won’t sync ### 4/5 — Sufficient! *2026-07-30* The other app booted me from lifetime sub like many here. This app is fine, but I wish the warm up sets were customizable by exercise. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We'll consider making the warm up sets customizable per exercises in a future update. ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-07-16* Blocked out by that other red and white app after 15+ years. THIS app is all and everything that is needed. Looked at four other alternatives. None came close to this app. AND , I cannot say enough positive about the customer support! There is no reason to waste money on a subscription service. $9.99 for LIFE is less than 1 month at that other guy’s. Could not be happier! **Developer response:** Hi, Please go to **Settings > Rest Timer > Select Sound** and make sure a notification sound is selected. Also, please verify that notification permissions have been granted for the app. If the issue persists, please send me an email, and I'll be happy to provide further assistance. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-06-24* This is much better than the other app. Does everything you need and very simple to use! **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for your 5 star review. We're glad to hear that you like our 5x5 workout Lifting Tracker app. ### 5/5 — Get Big *2026-05-19* Great free alternative to Stronglifts 5x5 app. Functionality is the same. **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for your 5 star review. We're glad to hear that you like our 5x5 workout logger app. ### 5/5 — Was free *2026-05-16* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-05-06* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 5/5 — Great app with helpful features *2026-04-27* 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. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your 5-star review! We are glad to hear that you like our 5x5 Workout app. I'll look into the restore pro issue. ### 5/5 — Best app for 5x5 *2026-03-16* Stronglifts 5x5 betrayed me by charging me a subscription after I had already paid for lifetime years ago…. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your 5-star review! We are glad to hear that you like our 5x5 Workout app. ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Keeping it Simple *2026-01-07* 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. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your 5-star review! We are glad to hear that you like our 5x5 Workout app. ### 5/5 — Perfect for me *2025-10-23* This app is simple and extensible. No extra fluff. Just focus on your workout --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
