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 ### 4/5 — Great App! *2025-12-11, version 6.3.0* 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…. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2024-10-16, version 5.0.0* Great app. Easy use. Guaranteed results ### 5/5 — The best app! *2024-10-15, version 5.0.0* I love using this app for my workouts. It’s comprehensive and helps me understand different exercise to help target various areas. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Súper cool and organized *2024-10-14, version 5.0.0* I loved this app, I got the premium subscription and honestly it’s been the best thing I could get to take my workouts to a next level, so many different things to log and go on it that keeps you motivated every time! ### 5/5 — Finally Seeing Progress, thanks to Bench! *2024-10-08, version 4.5.0* I’ve been lifting for about 8 ish years now, and if I’m honest I’ve been plateauing for the past 2 years lol. It wasn’t until I found Bench Gym Log that things started to change for me. Tracking my workouts, seeing the progression, getting addicted to seeing the numbers go up, getting new workout inspiration, like the value here is out of this world. I’m now the strongest I’ve ever been, I feel fantastic, and I’m excited to keep going! I highly recommend you download this app, you will not regret it. ### 5/5 — Fills a huge gap for me! *2024-10-02, version 4.5.0* This is just what I needed in a workout app! I love that it tracks the total weight lifted after each session. It also shows you with visual reference which muscle groups you just tore apart. I love this thing! ### 5/5 — A great new fitness program app *2024-09-29, version 4.5.0* A new app that helps me keep track of all my work outs and growth! It’s really easy to use and is great for all body types. Definitely would recommend this! ### 5/5 — The only best app for weightlifters *2024-01-06, version 3.3.0* I don’t usually write reviews, but this happened to be most useful app for work out routines. at first, I was kind of skipping the app but once I started doing the given workouts I felt very good and noticed a good improvement in shaping my body. I found this to be extremely useful. Im glad there’s one stop shop app for my workouts. ### 5/5 — User Friendly *2023-05-12, version 3.1.0* Very user friendly and better than any other app out there for the gym. Visualizations make it easier to attain a goal. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worthless *2026-06-26, version 9.0.0* Can’t get past entering the weight. No “next” button to tap. Nothing there when swiping left or right or up or down. Frustrating. ### 1/5 — Unable up sign up - please fix *2024-11-20* Too complicated to sign up. Needs to be user friendly! Not working. Won’t progress to next step after inputting weight. **Developer response:** I’m sorry you had trouble signing up. I have heard of this happening to one other person, and I’m working on fixing it. For now, I would love to help you. Please send me your username or the email you signed up with to help@benchgymlog.com and I’ll fix your account so you can login. I’ll also gift you a free Bench premium subscription! ### 1/5 — Unexpected error occurred, 5 stars later! *2024-11-19, version 5.2.0* Unexpected error and the app doesn’t work! Fake inapp, be careful ### 1/5 — Interface Problem Before I can even see the app *2024-11-19* 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! **Developer response:** I’m so sorry you ran into that bug! I’ve never run into that during testing, but I would love to help you. Please send me an email with your username or the email you signed up with to help@benchgymlog.com and I’ll manually enter your info so you can login. I will also upgrade your account to Bench premium for a year for free if you’d like to give Bench another try! ### 1/5 — Interface Problem Before I can even see the app *2024-11-15* 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.

You cannot see any of the app without verifying an email. ### 2/5 — ADD MORE STUFF *2025-11-13, version 6.2.0* 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 ### 3/5 — App Failed on iPhone 14 *2026-06-19, version 9.0.0* 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. ### 3/5 — Notes *2024-11-22* 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 **Developer response:** 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! ### 3/5 — No access without sign up *2024-09-19, version 4.5.0* Tries to access your clipboard (copy & paste) as soon as you open it. (Explanation in response seems reasonable). You cannot see any of the app without verifying an email. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Top tier workout app! 🧌Redo *2026-06-06, version 9.0.0* 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? ### 5/5 — Great Customer Service!!! *2026-02-10, version 8.2.0* 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! ### 5/5 — Best *2024-11-21* Best useful app ### 5/5 — Interface Problem Before I can even see the app *2024-11-21, version 5.2.0* 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.
