Not good for much

Unless you already know what your weight looks like it won’t do much for you you don’t put in the amount you want island it gives you the plates you need it’s the other way around you give it the amount of plates and it give you a number

Super convenient! UI Bug

I absolutely love this barbell calculator. Sadly, due to a UI bug causing a large chunk of the options to be blanked out on the settings menu, I can’t give it 5 stars. I’ve tried reinstalling, and the issue persists across multiple iOS updates and phones. Please fix the UI bug!

Love the app

I’ve been using BarCalc for several years because I don’t care enough to take the time to figure out the weight and would rather take the time to rest between sets. However, I am very disappointed that there hasn’t been an update in years and now the settings screen is half way whited out. I would really like to see this fixed.

A suggestion

I love this app and have used it for years. Very convenient and easy to use, especially considering how easy it is to switch between the keypad and plate modes. However, I now own a pair of 65lb plates that make barbell math a little difficult. I know there are also 100lb plates out there as well. It’s not common but they do exist. Would you be able to add these plates as an option when setting plate inventory in a future update?

Great!

Great for meets use projector or tv hooked to your phone

A Great Weight Calculator for Kilos!

It’s a very great app and helpful with loading kilo plates for powerlifting without have to do all the math. One suggestion is to create the math conversion from kg to lbs or vice versa under the “plates” section when loading the plates in the app. This is so I don’t have to exit the app and convert the kilos to lbs using my calculator. Thanks!

Great

Great

Great app but 1lb is lowest in inventory

In this app, you can select the weight sizes you’re working with from 55lb down to 1lb. If you’re using fractional plates, it will just leave the fractionals off. Not a difficult calculation to do in your head obviously. But it’s just a little annoying. Still worth the price.

Love it

This app is simple, yet has everything you need. I have tried three other apps before finding this one, and it is well worth it!

Have wanted this forever!

I use an app with an on board bar calculator, but it's terrible. I love the that this app has both the weight input by number and by plate value! The graphics are variable and crisp and the interface is intuitive. Overall, it's a great app and worth double the office.

Staying power

The only app I’ve kept on my phone for years. SO glad it was updated!

BarCalc

I'm terrible with adding weight for the bar on the fly. This app makes it super easy and let you get back to working out without delay.

Best sports app I've ever used!

I have day in and day out used this amazing app, for almost 2 years. I'm horrible at mental math and am a really visual person, so this app is perfect for me. I love how simple it is to use and how clear the graphics are. It's especially helpful with being able to switch to pounds so easily when I'm visiting other gyms and not at my barbell club. I tell everyone about this app, even if they make fun of me for not being able to do the math in my head 🙈. Thank you Barbell App creators! You guys are the BOMB. 🔥🔥🔥

My math suffers greatly while CrossFitting... but with this handy tool in my gym bag, I'm freaking Good Will Hunting in the Box.

Please Update App

THANK YOU for updating this app. The best app for those of us that are horrible at bar math this is an Invaluable tool!!

Please update for new Apple iOS

Love the app , but recently ran an update on my I pad and now the app freezes all the time

Huge time and brain saver

I feel kind of lazy for not doing bar math in my head but it's an awesome app. At 5:30 in the morning when my brain doesn't want to work it's a great tool.

A Useful Standalone

Really useful app that actually does what it states, doesn't look to bad either.
