### 5/5 — Best App Ever!!!

*2022-04-26*

Saves me so much time in the gym. I love it!

### 5/5 — I would have paid double!

*2019-06-22*

After fussing with a number of apps, I am finally satisfied with this well designed and easy to use barbell calculator. Programming  bar weight or plate loads is very simple. Seeing the relationship between lbs and kg is very clear, and running percentage work is so simple. This was obviously designed by someone that has spent some time in a barbell club. Thank you good sir 👍

### 5/5 — Definitely worth it!!

*2019-06-19*

I am a CrossFit Gym owner & we run a BB Club. The need for quick and easy math is beyond a necessity. I memorize plates fairly quickly that doesn’t mean all my members do. Absolutely worth it. Quick and easy conversions, love the plate diagram offered up in the corner as well. Well done !

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.13 — 2025-07-07

Update for newer iOS releases.

### 1.12 — 2022-04-03

I have been following some olympic weightlifting programming the last six months and have been using this app almost daily. Along the way I have added several shortcuts to make certain workflows more efficient so I can get answers quick and focus on my workout. In particular I have added several new shortcuts for calculating percentages. I hope you find them as useful as I have.

- A value can now be assigned to memory by typing in the value and pressing `->mem` instead of needing to press `alt` `->mem` or `=` `alt` `->mem`. Prior `alt` `->mem` functionality is still supported. Memory, as before, can be cleared by assigning the value of 0.
- A value can now entered in the alternate unit and be assigned to memory by typing in the value and pressing `alt` `lb->mem` or `alt` `kg->mem`. This is a shortcut for the prior workflow of entering the value, pressing `alt` `lb->kg` or `alt` `kg->lb` to convert to the selected unit, and then pressing `alt` `->mem` to assign to memory.
- A custom barbell value can now be assigned by typing in the value and pressing `->bar` instead of needing to press `alt` `->bar` or `=` `alt` `->bar`. Prior `alt` `->bar` functionality is still supported.
- A custom barbell value, if set, will now be stored and made available as an option to select along with the default barbell values. This custom value can be removed by assigning the value of 0.
- Percentages can now be calculated based on the current value or a value assigned to memory. Percentage buttons will display as `%m` instead of `%` when a value is assigned to memory indicating that they will calculate a percentage of the value in memory. You can press `alt` to access the standard `%` functionality and calculate a percentage based on the current value.
- You can now calculate an arbitrary percentage by simply typing in a percentage and pressing `%` (or `%m`).
- Full prior `%` functionality is still available allowing you to multiply, divide, add, or subtract a percentage of the current value. The calculation will happen immediately when `%` is pressed now instead of waiting for `=` to be pressed.
- You can use `+` or `-` with `%m` to add or subtract any percentage of the value in memory to the current value.

### 1.11 — 2020-07-10

Improve solutions for a couple of corner cases.

### 1.10 — 2020-01-25

- Speed up manual plate set selection by not cycling through automatic (follow selected units). Automatic plate set selection can now be reenabled by pressing `alt` `auto`.
- More subtle visual improvements.

### 1.9 — 2020-01-16

- Plates in the solution display can now be clicked on to remove one of that plate (or a pair in barbell mode).
- Several subtle visual improvements.
