Better than a coach
I used to pay $150 for a coach but with this app I get everything I did from a coach and more.Eastcoastbeastcoast13
Not letting me use my free trail
I recently purchased the app and it is constantly saying “Please wait. This may take a moment” and will not let me into the app. It’s been going on for about 4 days now and it’s very frustrating because I have every intention to pay for the monthly fee, but after these issues I’m not to sure of that now. I feel like the buffer that I’m getting is making me lean more towards deleting this app since it’s giving me so many issues. Please assist me so I can try out your app and see if it’s worth it, thanks.
Ps. Will update my review once help is received.Show lessPJ4PF

Hi, we're sorry you are having a problem. We believe the issue you are experiencing is related to our recent update. We have submitted a new app version to the App Store for review which should fix the problem (We tested it fully, and the Please Wait message disappears for us after a few seconds). Please download this new version (Version 5.3) once it is available. It typically takes 1-3 days for new versions appear in the App Store. We look forward to you trying the app and updating your rating.Can’t get to my workouts!
When I am in the app and hit “Start Workout” it takes me to the prompt to pay for my monthly subscription. Once I pay the $4.99 for the month it pops up with a spinning wheel that says “Please wait. This may take a moment” that just spins forever, making me unable to view the days workout. Please help so I can see the lifts I paid for!Show less_both.14_

Hi, sorry you have that problem. It may be an unexpected bug related to verifying your subscription entitlement. Try hard closing the app and restarting it. Also, be sure you have internet connection. If the paywall screen appears then you wouldn’t have been charged on your initial purchase attempt. But you can also try Restoring Purchases also if the issue persists. Meanwhile, we’ll look into the code and release an update with a fix if available. If you were charges and would like a refund please see the instructions in the apps FAQs found in the Settings.Pretty good but…
Pretty good app, definitely worth it if you’re looking for a good powerlifting program based on your (beginner to advanced) and it also takes your energy level rating before the program and modifies your numbers slightly. I recommend it for that alone. Pretty good but…
The only small nitpick is plugging in the sets, reps & RPE, it’s become tedious doing it for each individual set (I.e every set has its own logging page), is there a way to have all sets of one exercise in one logging page (so once you get into an exercise you can plug all of the reps and sets and RPE in the “logging”) this becomes even more tiresome when you super set lol
I won’t always have time to plug in my sets- especially if it’s the last two exercises and then if I try to quit it says it won’t save your progress (Bruhh).
I understand why it has to be done (rating every single set) but surely there’s a way to make it take less time.
Thanks team.Show lessMrlimo217
Unreliable
This app crashes at least 90% of the time and it’s annoying having to type in the same numbers for each set. There should be an option where it automatically registers the same numbers entered in, that way it’s easier to track.net con error

Hi. Version 4.6 fixes the crashing issue caused by Version 4.5, the version you are using. As for the tracking, we are working on improvements that will be release in our next update. Please update the app for Version 4.6 and your crashing problem will be solved.Latest Update causes app to crash
Fantastic app however latest 4.5 update causes the app to force close when you try to log todays workout.dipendots
Developer Response
Thanks for the info! We’ll look for the cause of this crash and in the meantime rollback our Version. [Updated: Version 4.6 is now available in the App Store which solves the crash issue]The new update is annoying
Having to log the RPE twice for literally every set is insane. It takes me forever to log my workouts.
You can’t skip days if you were sick or go back and you can’t pick the workout you want to do that specific day. Lets say I’m tired and would prefer to do upper body instead of an intense lower body day. The app does not allow this! This is not an AI based app. It doesn’t change anything based on what you put in.
Super annoying and I will be canceling my subscription this weekShow lesssweettickles

Hi, sorry you feel this way. You can turn off workout logging right on the workouts tab. It's right there below the Start Workout button - so that shouldn't be a problem for you. Logging a Target RPE and an Actual RPE is part of the logging yes. But we use that information to optimize future workouts. If you aren't consistently hitting targets, the app needs to know that. Also, this app does use A.I. and many variables change over time - sometimes adjustments for a workout weeks away occurs behind the scenes. This isn't an instant gratification app. It's a workout app with sophisticated algorithms. Regardless, the programs are designed to be done in order for maximum effectiveness (we have an enormous amount of data on this)...and that's what a program IS. Jumping around is far less effective. If you want to jump around in a less serious manner we suggest that you try a much simpler workout app that caters to that need. But our data shows that you'll get much better results sticking to a sophisticated human-built A.I.-enhanced program instead of "choosing your own adventure". Skipping workouts designed to be done in order is a bad idea.Not for me…right now.
I’ve updated this rating. This app wasn’t what I’m looking for right now. After exchanging an email with the developer, I can see that it is evolving. I’m very interested in seeing its next iteration. The feedback from the team was excellent.BillyV_71

Thanks for updating your review Bill. We hope that our email communication helped clear some things up. We look forward to you trying our new Version 4.0 (available soon!)Terrible
This app was terrible. As far as I can see there’s no way to track which set you’re on. No way to say whether or not you’ve done all reps per set. No obvious way to change order of workout. A timer between sets would be nice. But the other items are far more glaring.Developer Response
Hi Billy, the powerlifting programming is created with a blend of human record-setting powerlifters and sophisticated A.I. The programs and individual workouts are meant to be followed in order. But we do offer substitution exercises during the workouts if the algorithms deem it appropriate. This app isn't like any other "lifting" app. However, with that said, our new Version 4.0 coming soon does include a full workout tracker and our A.I. workouts are saved to your history as well. You may like the new version. We are surprised that you think this is 1-star with all of the features and tools, and the Free Trial. You are one tough consumer to please, Billy.Great app
It’s a great app over all I just wish you would be able to save your weight that you did for the exercises and able to have the rest periods included.Lightweight_123

Hi Lightweight_123, Thanks for using PWRBLD! You'll love our next major update (Version 4.0). It's going to include a Workout Tracker and History so you'll be able to log and save your workout data. The update will be available later this month.
