Uselss: Settings Cannot be Changed
Why can’t I change the weight setting in an app designed for WEIGHT LIFTING?! It defaulted to 45 lbs. there is no way I can lift that. Plus I have injuries that prevent some of the exercises and there’s no way to customize - at very least give a rename feature. Just sad
Lost progress
I haven’t found a way to log into the app easily even though I paid for a subscription. The app kept crashing every time I opened it after using it for a few months. I deleted the app and reinstalled it subsequently, losing all the progress I had stored in the app. Everything essentially reset back to my beginning point.

Very concise
Only problem is that you can’t switch to a women’s barbell since that is all I have.
One of the best free apps for gym workouts
Fitness has become a cash cow for so many but I love that this app has no gimmicks, just a great program available to all in a great interface!
Bare Bones
I get wanting to keep it simple for someone starting out, but it would be nice to be able to at least swap for similar exercises. Not worth a subscription at all.
Great app for getting results.
Im that guy who goes to gym all the time but no results. Last few lifts I did not break a sweat. With the app, first day and I’m sweating bullets. Simpler workout than what I was making up. Get this and get some.
Forced subscription
Hate subscriptions on fitness apps
Solid app, good ui
The app is well designed. The ui is responsive and well thought out. The workout flow is good as well. Feature To Add: I wish they would allow you to change the weight for individual sets in case you want to go up from your normal weight. Currently you can only change weight for the full workout not each set.

Accountability and precision
I am a 3 time Ironman triathlon finisher. I have been scrambling for strength training for several years. I love the precision and accountability of the 5x5 App!
Decent
Fairly solid app… simple enough to navigate and the program is easy to follow… but on the “assistance exercises” tab you can’t read the whole screen… petty complaint I know but still… also it has workout A and workout B… I feel there should be a workout C that focuses more on lower body and possibly core

Not working garbage
Look for other app
Simple and comprehensive to meeting goals
.
This is the one.
When I save a bit of coin, I’m buying the full version. It’s exactly what I was looking for to build dense strength. Look no further than this program.

Great workout
They change the app without informing customers
I purchased the app in august 2019. I go to use the app the other day and apparently they updated their platform (to include a suite of Zen Labs apps) to a monthly fee. As a purchaser I was never informed of this change, and my app was reverted back to the free version, which is not what I paid for.
I emailed customer service and never received a reply.

Bugs
Love the app but it has never allowed me to adjust the weights. Contacted support but never received a response
App is crap!
Worst 5x5 workout set up ever!
Should be easily navigated, is not.
Set up for weights is stupid and tedious, can’t input numbers with keypad but individual clicks.
Rest periods not explained.

Good App
Hello could you put the timer in bottom instead of covering the whole screen so that one can see the weights needed on bar also the timer should make noise when it hits 90 and 180 seconds
Rip off
I paid to upgrade to unlock the features after week 3 and I still don’t have access to them. It is still prompting me to upgrade. I received the receipt that I paid for it but it was a waste of money. I’ve emailed zen support twice and have gotten no where. Extremely unhappy
Awesome App
Love this app. Very easy to use and modifications can be made during the first few workouts. Highly recommend
