Worthless

Can’t get past entering the weight. No “next” button to tap. Nothing there when swiping left or right or up or down. Frustrating.

App Failed on iPhone 14

I gave three stars just because I don’t have a way to rate this. App is not compatible with iPhone 14. When entering data to start the profile, there is no done button on the keyboard and no way to close the keyboard thus you cannot click on the next button in the app and even finish the 2nd page of the profile set up. For the company, it is on the page to enter weight.

Top tier workout app! 🧌Redo

Probably the best workout app I have ever used. I use this app pretty consistently since I downloaded it like a week ago. It is very efficient at what it does and is simple to use user-friendly. It has a lot of exercises for almost all muscle groups. There is a good amount of free availability, but you do have to pay eventually. I may have already written a review, but this one is more inclusive. One question, for the dumbbell workouts do you put the total weight of the two dumbbells or just the weight of one of the dumbbells?

Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying the app! To answer your question, you want to track the total weight of both dumbbells when doing dumbbell exercises. This way, the volume metrics are accurate. For example, if you're lifting two 30 lb dumbbells, then you'd put the weight as 60lbs. Hope this helps!

Freemium

A simple app that allows you to log your progress and includes a fair amount of exercises and the ability to add in lifts as well. While it is a paid app, they allow you to use a free version with limited workouts you can make. I knocked off a star because realistically this doesn’t need to be a subscription model and should be more of a $5 lifetime purchase app at most

Thanks for your review! I tried my best to make the free tier generous so most people can use Bench for free and still benefit from my app! Unfortunately I can’t make it $5 for lifetime because of the development cost, ongoing server costs, licensing costs, marketing costs, etc that go into running Bench.

Great Customer Service!!!

I upgraded from my old iPhone 10 Max to an iPhone 17 and was a bit concerned about whether my previous purchases would be restored. Last year, I took advantage of a limited-time offer to access an app for free, and I was eager to check it out since I have a gym at home. Unfortunately, the app wasn't working initially, which made me a bit sad. However, I connected with customer support to verify my email. They conducted a thorough review and were able to confirm my email from my old iPhone. I'm so grateful they fixed it! Now I'm all set and ready to go! Let’s do this!

Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the app!

Great App!

Overall Great app! Needs a space when recording sets where you can make notes indicating whether you didn’t hit the set (ex.-failure@6th rep)…things of that nature….

Great Freakin App!

ADD MORE STUFF

You guys need to add plyometrics to this app, until then it’s only good if you just started in the gym or only do machines for leg day

Notes

I dont understand how all these training apps don't have a place to jot down exercises notes.

For each set suggest you add a place to add notes and rep ranges like in the free version of repcount

Thank you for the suggestion! I'll add the ability to write free-form notes for each set in an upcoming release. Thank you very much for trying my app!

Interface Problem Before I can even see the app

I can enter my height and there is a next button but when I get to the next screen I can enter my weight but there is no next button and I’m stuck 🤷‍♀️I have tried closing the app, deleting it and reinstalling and the same problem. I sure would like to use the app. UPDATE- quick response from developer. They fixed the problem and I was able to get into the app immediately. This is the app I have been searching for! I’ve tried a lot of them but they didn’t have the number of exercises to choose from as the Bench app. Exactly what I need for planning AND tracking workouts!! Easy to work with too-tap and add. Other apps took forever to set up and didn’t have half the exercises I do. This blows other workout apps out of the water!

Accountability and Progress

This app is amazing! not only am I seeing progress but it actually keeps me accountable. It’s beautifully organized and shows real time progress which makes me excited to keep pushing as someone that likes to log their workouts. This is hands-down the best app out there for that.
