Simple and free

Works great. Simple no frills.

Good, but request a feature

Hi, I like the app! I have one request. Could you add a home and gym option? For example, my weight set at home is limited; I only have a few plates in each weight size. The gym has plenty of plates for inventory. Could you guys add a home or gym option so my home plate inventory is saved (which is limited) and gym inventory stays high?

Please fix the timer

The app works great and does what it’s supposed to. My only complaint is that the timer function freezes all the time. It’s really annoying to get done with a set, go to hit the timer and nothing happens. Oftentimes I don’t even realize it until it’s too late.

Almost perfect

I love how I can tap the bar itself to change the weight. To make this perfect: 1. Most important: Show a total of each size of plates added to a side, like the β€œBar is Loaded” app. When the weight gets high, it can be nice to simply read β€œoh, i need to add five 45 plates to each size” instead of counting them up on the app. 2. Less important: Allow adding collars, like the β€œRackMath” app. Collars vary a lot, from not much to around 5 lbs each. Not a huge deal to me, but would round out the app nicely. 3. Bonus icing on the cake: give us the option to β€œadd weight” to the stack instead of resetting the entire weight stack. I often start at lower weights and add weight as I go. Being able to see what I should add to get to my new, higher weight, without having to re-rack the entire bar, would be awesome!
