Great Idea With Increasing Instability Issues
I’m seeing some great progress ever since I began using Dropset a few months back and I want to like it more but it crashes at least a half dozen times every session and sends me back to the main screen. Happens a lot when changing equipment type or weight amounts. The more I use it, the less inclined I am to think it’s worth the subscription cost.

Minimal and Well Thought Design
It’s rare to see apps with such care to design, the interface is so clean and polished and it just works, nothing extra nothing annoying just an amazing app
Phenomenal
Been using it for a very long while now, I love the app and features helped me alot. However I do wish it fully comes to Apple Watch soon.
Best gym tracking app
No clutter or unnecessary features, just the essentials. Keeps it clean and intentional.
Clean
Add Russian language please
Promising
Definitely the sleekest tracking app I’ve tried. I’d love to move from another app, but the data import didn’t work and Dropset seems to be lacking quite a few exercises and variations (eg. Chest Press does not have a Dumbbell option).
Worth it?
The app looks amazing. I love the clean simple design but App is definitely not worth the price. Theres a ton of other apps that do the exact same thing as this app and are fully free. Like “Gains” which only charges to see 1Repmax and Tagging.
Monthly Subscription for a Gym App
Why not just pay one-time and own the app?
Very convenient, super simplistic, love it
Although I rated it five, I only have one problem there is a feature where you can make an account to communicate within the app with other users, however I’m not able. And when I deleted my account, it said it wouldn’t affect my workout logs or anything like that but when I swiped the app and checked again everything was gone..

Not everything works as advertised
Cant add kpi/stats , chat option doesn't work, timeline doesn't work in calendar. No watch support.
Rest of the app is good.

Great and minimalist
The app is awesome - it delivers a clutter free design which provides everything you need and want during the workout. One place it is lacking is in progress tracking - I’d love to be able to see it all in one screen for each exercise. It would also be great if it could pull the body composition and weight metrics from Apple Health.

Cool design, poor functionality
Looks nice but is a massive pain to use. App also seems to have been abandoned by devs as no update in last five months and no response to occasional messages in app’s chat. Why charge a subscription if it’s going to be abandoned. Should be free
Love this app, have been using it for most of a year
It seems like I’ve tried a few in the past but they were never quite right. I’ve been using Dropset now for about 8-9 months and I absolutely love it, so I’m going to talk about why!
They have premade workouts you can choose, but I have only created my own customized ones (that is, creating it in their app from trusted programs I have researched/found online, not “making it up myself,” because that would be silly), so I can’t say how valid theirs are. But it’s easy/intuitive to create your own routine, and create your own custom exercises if they don’t have the exact one you want already set up. They do have a ton already in there to choose from, and you can pick them based on like, upper body, glutes, etc.
You can make several different routines, like if you’re doing a PPL split, and put them in a folder so they show up grouped on your main page, so later if you switch to a full-body 3-day split you can sort of ignore the other ones. You can also tell it the frequency when you want to do each one, or the day of the week, and it will remind you which one is next or remind you that today is Push, for instance.
As you are doing the workout, you can start it and have exercises set on durations that you set, then it automatically will run the interval timer you’ve set for working/resting period and log them. I use this interval setting for like, planks, at the beginning of my workout, and then a dead hang at the end. Then when you’re done with that exercise, it starts the rest timer (as you have set it) for between sets.
The screen is black and white, and it will beep for the intervals and then beep for the rest timer, and between sets the rest timer visually shows how much more time you have, which is kind of nice - I like that when someone is asking if you’re close to being done, so I can show them “30 more seconds rest then one more set,” easily. Or if I’m up and walking around to get in some steps when I walk by I can see visually if it’s almost time to be starting the next set.
When you log the last set of one, the screen comes up to show the next exercise. It shows what you did for sets/reps/weights the last time. If you want to log something different this time, it’s easy to adjust and then check the box as you complete each set. There is also a little notes section, like if you want to note that the last set was extra hard today or that the green handle kettlebell is the one you want for x weight, or whatever.
The name is also a feature within the app - if you want to do a drop set for any of the exercises, you can quickly add that as a special thing and it will create it as a sub to the last set. And you can record the RPE for each set, if you want.
There are charts for each exercise where you can see total weight for the day over time, or heaviest weight, or 1-rep max, or total reps.
There is also a calendar view where you can see which days you’ve logged workouts, and you can set each workout to have a distinctive symbol so you can see which ones you were doing on those days.
You can also easily set up supersets, so for instance if you want to do bicep curls/tricep extensions, it will go from logging the curl right into the screen for the extensions, then have a rest between the supersets.
It’s not free, but there is a trial membership, and for me the functionality is so much exactly what I want that I am happy to pay for it.

Finally
I’ve searched ages for an easy to use, and simple app for tracking your progress over time. Finally found a good solution
Great app
Very minimal simple and easy to use app. Finally, there is a Fitness app that helps me to track my exercise and it also offers a lifetime purchase so that’s a brownie point.
Perfect
Easily the best gym app I have ever used. Has all the right information and tools you'd ever need and only need to pay £4.49 a month! Recommend to absolutely everyone.
Aesthetic and practical perfection. The only app you need 🐐
This app is the most aesthetically pleasing, and most comprehensive training and workout tracking software that iv seen to date and iv seen almost all of them, after looking for months on end for an app that is: 1 easy to use, 2 aesthetically pleasing to look at and use at the same time and 3 is fully comprehensive in a both beginner, intermediate and advanced training level.
This app is the grail and I hope it stays on the market for everyone to enjoy.
The only thing i would ever think it could improve with is keep the app as it is, but make it apple smart watch accessible, even if it’s just basic one page tracking.
If the advertising was better placed like more on YouTube I bet you would be making money like a bank.
Five stars even as it is ❤️

Close to perfect, but….
I love this app. It’s great. The UI is clear and concise and the sounds are great for reminders mid-workout. One thing that the app is lacking is Apple Watch support/integration. I don’t like being tethered to my phone during a gym workout. I’m the kindle of guy who starts a workout and chucks their phone into a bag to minimize distractions. This is where apps like Setgraph and Ladder excel and beat Dropset for me. When Apple Watch integration is added. I’ll definitely give Dropset another fair chance.

Awesome Alternative to Hevy and Strong Workout Trackers
Highly recommend this app. Has beautiful UI, highly functional, integrates with Apple Health, offers import export, and is updated fairly regularly.
