5 stars for Simply Workout Tracker, 1 star for Anyletics
- Fewer intensity levels in the drop-down
- Time tracker limited to 5-minute increments
- No more pie charts
- No longer able to view detailed metrics for individual months; now it shows only a 1-3 month trend of the total number entries logged (how exactly is that an insightful metric?)
- Custom categories not imported from previous version
- Color-coding of custom custom categories no longer supported
- UI is uses more real estate, requires more clicks & scrolling
New stats that add zero value:
- Day and time rhythm
- Workout places
- Found in your entries
You just can’t have favorite things I guess. Please bring back the older version or at least bring this one back up to par. :(
Response from developer
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed and thoughtful feedback. This update was intended to improve usability and add new capabilities, but I understand that it also weakened some of the simplicity and useful functionality that longtime users valued. I am carefully reviewing the points you raised, including intensity levels, duration input, monthly statistics, categories, and color coding. I will work to preserve the strengths of the new app while bringing back more of what made the original app valuable to its users.
Bad Update
I’m back to looking for an easy exercise log that won’t tell me what to do, but just let me record what I did.
Response from developer
Thank you for using the app, and we’re sorry this update made it feel less simple and made your records appear missing. Version 4.0.2 includes recovery for records saved by the previous app. We’ve also submitted version 4.0.3, which returns existing users to the familiar Calendar first and remembers the last tab used. The added features remain optional—you can still simply record what you did. If your earlier records do not return after updating, please contact us through the support link so we can help.
Great App! Minor Glitches
I would’ve given it 5 stars but it does have a tendency to glitch randomly (nothing serious just like I click on a day and it won’t show me the workout so I have to expand the calendar and click again or randomly a workout’s rectangle will add way to much space but it goes away when I click update)
Besides those minor glitches the app is amazing

Totally addicted to using this fitness app!
However, I cannot get the app to open and stay open today. Any troubleshooting advice? I have deleted and reinstalled the app the problem persists.
