Good basic version but won’t update to Pro

Basic version is good. Using this app for the GZCLP. I’ve tried to update and pay for thePro upgrade but it’s won’t allow me to make the update. Have written support several times with zero response. I guess they don’t want the money. It’s a shame because this app has great potential.

Straight to the point

I don’t need fancy features. I just need something to tell me what to do at the gym. It contains a selection of tried and trusted routines. after you set initial weights it adapts them for your next workout. No overhead. No thinking. Just do it. Love it.

Has potential

Got one workout in on the Reddit PPL before I realised that the second set of lateral raises is missing from the workout and can’t add them without paying.
May return if fixed.
Thanks

Not Customizable

This app has decent routines for beginners but if you want to make any changes to the existing routines they can only be additive. You can’t swap out an existing exercise for a new one nor can you reorder the base routines. recommended starting weights are just 45 for everything so there isn’t any actual thought put into those. Bench press 45 starting weight makes sense but lat raises for 45 is ridiculous.

Good

Helps me keep track of what I am doing

Good stuff

Simple and to the point. Great interface. Much more efficient than inputting numbers or tracking your progress manually. If you're a beginner or even intermediate lifter, this is what you need. I could go on about why I like it, but instead you should just get the app and hit the gym.

This app is extremely limited

I somehow tricked myself into paying pro for this - yet can’t edit the name of an exercise or increase weight by anything lower than 2.5kg. Anything other than 12 reps is a fail even though the program specifies 8-12. Pretty much useless, I’d like my money back.

Free app works well

Pro is too expensive and not a one time purchase

Need workout revision options

Running GCCL and there’s no way to remove a lift once it’s logged or add a lift to workouts already logged if you forgot to include it. Seems like a big oversight unless I’m missing something.

Love it

Love it - great app. Wish it had Leangains RPT!

Saves time

Hate doing math so this app automatically calculating my weight... it’s a no brainer!

Wish it were a little more customizable

I enjoy the app, been using it for almost 6 months. Have run a few programs. Still waiting for NSuns, Jacked and Tan, and a few others. I wish the app would let me substitute some exercises due to lack of equipment, or preference of one exercise over another for accessory movements.
I wish rest times were a little more customizable (meaning add or subtract time based off of need). I also wish deload weeks could be programmed in, not just targeted towards a particular muscle group. Reloading weight for 1 day, for one exercise, of a 6 day week of PPL is not really a deload and is gonna lead to over training.

This app is decent but needs to be more customizable

Used clank for a while following the different programs they offer. It’s pretty decent for a basic app. Really frustrating that you cannot change out any of the exercises even while paying for premium. I have been working out at home because of COVID, I have the basics but not a whole lot of equipment. This app will not allow you to change out say, leg press for box squats. Also very annoying that the weight increase increments only go up by either 5 or 10 lbs. would be nice to have 2.5 and 1lb increments as well. It is also very annoying that you cannot set your own rest timer. Not everyone needs a 2.5 or 5 minute rest between sets. Basically I just think it’s really lacking in those areas, it needs to be more customizable bottom line. It could be a great app if they improve in those areas, as for now I’ll be looking for something else and canceling my membership.

Good for Beginners and Intermediate Lifters

Easy interface.

Pretty perfect

I like this app a lot. It reliably tracks and programs some of the r/fitness workouts. Would love Apple Watch support and some of the 531 programs (the publicly available ones, anyway).

Great app but subscriptions have a bug

The only reason why it’s a one star is because subscription for pro does not work and is unable to connect to Apple.

Had a chat with Apple who said it’s the developers who need to fix it on their side

Exactly what I was looking for

Was using a spreadsheet to do a program that I found on reddit. This is much more efficient. I’m doing GZCLP and it takes care of everything and follows the program to perfection.

Overall quite good — PPL plan has something missing

The PPL push day is supposed to have 6 sets of lateral raises (super set with tricep) per the reddit thread it came from but the app only has 3.

nice app

great app, but it would be nice to be able to change the weight of the bar(not all bars are 45lbs).
