Very basic/spartan app but it is very easy to use, has no ads, and is free. To start, you either pick workout A or B (it keeps track of which workout you should select). Then you enter your weight for the three exercises in workout and you just press the plus button after each set is complete to track your 5 sets. It tracks your weight so the next workout will automatically have the weight you completed in the last workout showing. It’s very easy to change the weight if your are adding weight. Also has a graph to track your weights over time and an alert for resting between each set (I don’t use this but others may find it useful). Also, the app doesn’t ask for any personal info or location tracking whatsoever, which seems rare nowadays. ### 5/5 — Hi *2023-01-20* Hi ### 5/5 — Get strong *2022-08-19, version 5.0.5* Great app for following 5x5. Keeps sets, reps and weight on your device. ### 5/5 — Helpful *2022-07-24* Just downloaded it a week ago, helpful for workout routine ### 5/5 — Simple *2022-02-28* No frills. Great ap. ### 5/5 — Really good *2022-02-03* Needs to be able to delete history from when I was first messing around with the app! But very helpful app **Developer response:** Thanks for the review. If you click the history tab then click the pencil icon in the top right corner of the day you want to delete you will be able to delete it. I hope this helps! ### 5/5 — Excellent and Easy to Use *2022-01-07* I love the app. My one request would be for an option to have the “next workout” automatically increase the weights by 5 lb when the last set was fully completed. ### 5/5 — Great program *2021-08-23* This program has helped me gain strength, muscle and focus. This is a great way to start your weight lifting journey. **Developer response:** I'm glad you've found it helpful! ### 5/5 — Mark *2021-04-16, version 2.0* Great app , easy to use and really helps me track my progress ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App *2026-01-02* Does not automatically update weight, then it ask to pay. Not worth it. Deleting ### 3/5 — Just what I was looking for! *2024-06-28* This app is SO helpful for those who want to effectively track their workout… not just day to day but also comparatively and progressively over a period of time. So helpful and encouraging! Only one complaint for a much needed improvement… the Rest Timer does not work at all or at least not consistently. So regrettably another outside app is required to time your rests between sets. Although this app has a built in timer, it doesn’t work! ### 4/5 — Free, no frills, does exactly what I need *2024-06-04* The UI can be a bit clunky (in particular fixing typos when recording your sets) but I appreciate that it otherwise does exactly what I want it to ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2022-10-06, version 5.0.5* Good app to track your 5x5, only one niggle Please fix the Weight Used/Total Lifted buttons fully overlapping the Workout B button in the analytics tab In landscape or portrait on an iPhone 11 Pro the workout B button is fully inaccessible. ### 4/5 — Simple and good *2022-01-07* Would give 5 stars if the alert timer worked. I have to manually keep an eye on the timer. ### 4/5 — Good for tracking! *2021-12-24* I’m not new to weightlifting, but wanted to try a new program, so I decided to try 5X5 and downloaded this version of it since it looked simple and free and had good reviews. It’s not super detailed with instructions, so you do have to know what goes into the program (easy to find online!) so it might not be great for new lifters looking for everything to be outlined for them, but I personally like and prefer that it’s more of a “tracker” as I enjoy writing my workouts down in a journal. This is more of a tracker and timer than an in-depth explanation of how to use this program. The reason I gave it 4 stars is it’s a little glitchy so hopefully that will improve over time. ### 4/5 — App crashes *2021-11-05* Every time I click on the calculator button to do the plate math the app freezes and shuts down. Every. Single. Time. **Developer response:** Thanks for letting me know - if you update the app the issue should be fixed now. ### 5/5 — Review *2026-01-09, version 5.0.5* It’s free and easy to keep track of an already simple program. ### 5/5 — A good place to start lifting *2025-07-29* I like it, it’s easy to use. I would like a buy the upgrades option instead of a subscription…. But alas that’s the new world. The free trial plate calculator is ok but doesn’t have 55 lb options ### 5/5 — 5x5 *2025-03-17, version 5.0.5* Sigma helped me k. My gigachad arc ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love the application *2025-01-01* This is a plateau breaker for me, awesome to implement to switch up from aesthetics focus ### 5/5 — Great FREE app for 5x5 workout *2024-06-22* I love this app. It’s easy to use and has options in terms of weight increase. As a woman, I can’t necessarily increase each lift by 10lb every workout so I love that I’m able to customize that a bit more. The app hasn’t been glitchy and I haven’t gotten ads or requests to upgrade to a paid version. ### 5/5 — Easy to use! *2024-03-05* Simple. Easy to use. Built in timer. Free. Great app! ### 5/5 — Almost middle aged man *2024-01-06* Just started this workout regimen and honestly have enjoyed it quite a bit. It’s perfect for someone like myself that doesn’t have time for complicated and time consuming workouts. Great for getting back into the routine after a comically long rest period. ### 5/5 — Great App *2023-07-01* This is a great app to follow the 5x5 method. There’s a few things I might add or change but I’m going to use it a bit longer to see if I still think these same things. I’ll write another review later. ### 5/5 — Simple, easy to use, no ads *2023-06-20* Was looking for a 5x5 app, tried a few, was getting annoyed of the paywalls and premium features. This is simple and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Ad free, simple, perfect *2023-03-01* If you chose strong lifts because it is simple and efficient you will LOVE this app for being exactly that.
