This is the one you want

There are so many not great barbell calculators out there. This one is actually good. You want this one.

Thanks so much for the kind words!

A barbell calculator that actually saves time

When my mind is cloudy from endorphins and all of my blood is in my muscles, this app spares me the mental math and keeps me focused on my training. Every other barbell calculator I’ve tried is janky and takes me out of the focused state I want to be in at the gym.

Haha that's the goal! Thanks for the review.

Simple and intuitive plate calculator

I have been using this app for years and I've always been impressed by its simplicity and speed. The best feature is the ability to modify the plate value by simply sliding your finger up or down on the screen. This makes it very convenient to adjust the value without typing or tapping. I highly recommend this app to anyone who is looking for a simple and effective plate calculator app!

Simplest most straightforward plate app you will find!

I am so excited to see this back in the App Store! This is the simplest most straightforward plate app you will find!

Thanks so much for the kind words! I see you’ve got the old version installed. Glad it’s working well for you. FYI, if you update your phone to iOS 17, you’ll be able to install the newest release (from this week!). Same functionality but much nicer looking on modern iPhones. Happy lifting!

Great App

It’s fast that’s for sure. Just took me a little time to get used to adding the correct weights when swiping. Do wish there was a 1lb option. The 1lbs sure come in handy when getting a PR. Overall, good app.

Edit: Glad you figured it out! As I said, feel free to email anytime with any other feedback :) Hi SeattleSoundersFan - thanks for trying out Plate Calculator! I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with the app. I'm not sure I'm understanding the problem you're having, but if you don't have access to 45lb plates, you can go into settings and turn off individual plates. If that's not the issue, please email me with more detail at feedback@platecalculator.com (you can also quickly send me an email from the app) so I can help figure out a solution!

THE BEST OUT! GO GET IT.

This has got to be one of the most simplistic yet effective calculators available on the App Store. I've dabbled with many other which end up sucking so bad, so so bad. This comes in clutch every time.

Thanks Josh!

Great user interface sets this apart

The UX is really slick, and the calculation is instantaneous. Really nice to not have to think about plates, and be able to just enjoy picking things up and putting them down in the gym!

Perfectly simple

I swear I've done 4 years of upper level math but plate math gets me every time. Get this app it's worth the price and you'll get the weights right every time.

You won't be pulling 255 thinking it's 245 if you use this app.

Thanks for the kind words Marcus!

Works great

Easy to use, does exactly as advertised.

Would be nice if you could enter two weights and it comes up with the optimal setup so that switching avoids moving extra plates. Those that work out with a buddy and alternate sets would appreciate that.

Thanks Jon - I'll keep that feature in mind as I work on upcoming versions of the app!

The best tool for my power lifts

Plate calculator is a valuable asset to my workout routine that I had yet to find before it was recommended to me by a friend. It's extremely helpful to figure out exactly what I need, and it's easy accessibility and usage are more than worth the price. Fantastic app, would recommend to anyone looking for an easier way to keep track of their workouts.
