### 2/5 — So difficult to use

*2026-06-02, version 3.4.2*

Downloaded this and just can’t work out how to use it. Faffing around wondering what a template is v the other workout option I now can’t remember the name of. Took forever to figure out how to add an exercise after I had eventually managed to create a workout. Search is useless (type ‘bicep’ into the search bar and apparently there are no exercises! There are, but you have to scroll through everything to find them. Can’t be bothered. Deleting. Please consider adding a quick ‘tour’ and improve the search

### 4/5 — Honestly the best fitness tracking app

*2026-01-24, version 3.3.0*

Props to the dev for making such a simple but impactful tracking app. Sure, there are better looking apps on the store that do the same thing but they all eventually try to shovel a yearly subscription down your throat.

### 5/5 — Killer simple workout tracker

*2026-01-21, version 3.3.0*

GOATed workout tracker. Very customizable, no frills, has everything I’d want in my workout tracker. Plus the support is incredible. They responded to a question I had about the settings within literally 10 minutes of me emailing them.

### 5/5 — Just what the coach ordered

*2026-01-18, version 3.3.0*

Simple, small, fast, yet it has everything you need in a workout tracker. Never tries to sell you anything. Love it!

### 3/5 — things changed...

*2026-01-09, version 3.3.0*

i used to love this app because it was so simple and i could do everything i wanted but then it updated and now so many things i used to do without paying are paywalled....
like i can no longer make active workouts (only completed ones) or see when i PR in any exercise which is super annoying. and no i never had a free trail, i could do all these things for the whole year i had used this app and then it was all taken away.
ive loved this app for so long but now im considering switching to another workout app

### 3/5 — No export to Apple Health?

*2026-01-01, version 3.3.0*

The app itself is a decent, flexible workout tracker, though the docs have gaps and some experimentation is required. However it doesn’t appear to export workout data to Apple Health, which is a significant limitation.

### 1/5 — App won’t launch

*2025-12-26, version 3.2.0*

App won’t open—keeps crashing before launching

### 1/5 — Doesn’t open on latest iOS

*2025-12-14, version 3.2.0*

Pretty much all in the title. I have been in apple beta so I have them the benefit of the doubt but it’s not working and that iOS has been rolled out.

### 5/5 — Nice and clean

*2025-12-07, version 3.2.0*

Once I took the time to read the documentation I found this app had everything I needed and no fluff. Very nice app.

### 5/5 — Beste App um seine workouts zu tracken

*2025-12-06, version 3.2.0*

Habe viele Apps ausprobiert und diese hier ist mit Abstand die beste. Man kann quasi alles individuell gestalten und kein payment ist notwendig. Selbst wenn kann man für wenige Euro eine lifetime pro Version holen.

### 1/5 — Requires subscription

*2026-08-19, version 3.4.2*

Just warning that it now requires pro subscription to log workouts. It used to be free

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-07-10, version 3.4.2*

Was great and was happy to pay for it. Now it’s not working. When u click complete on a set: it deletes the set. There’s a workaround where u just finish the workout the u can move on but looking forward to an update! Then will change

### 1/5 — Hard to use

*2026-06-02, version 3.4.2*

Sometimes it doesn’t let me delete things and it keeps adding random things without my knowledge or without me doing anything. And then since deleting things are so hard, it doesn’t let me delete what it added even if I don’t need it.

### 1/5 — Know the app to use the app

*2026-04-20, version 3.3.0*

Basically you have to know how the app functions internally to figure out how to use it initially. It doesn’t make sense, not functional for new users, and complicated to understand/figure out.

### 1/5 — New interface is terrible

*2026-03-30, version 3.3.0*

This used to be such a great app. Simple. Straightforward. Easy to navigate, create workouts, and use. This new interface is terrible! Haaaate how the workout pops up so you see the dashboard homepage whatever in the background. The way sets appear now is different too, and not in a good way. Not sure why they had to change something that wasn’t broken. Deleting the app now.

### 1/5 — Overcomplicated

*2026-03-27, version 3.3.0*

Literally just trying to add a work out. Seems impossible. There’s only 2 work outs and can’t seem to just add a work out?? Way too complicated for something so simple.

### 1/5 — Free features became paid

*2026-02-17, version 3.3.0*

Any time an app I have been using changes its policy to render free features paid, it’s game over for me. You can never trust them not to keep that scale sliding. Time to delete. I actually liked it a lot before this.

### 1/5 — $$$$

*2026-01-30, version 3.3.0*

Don’t let the download count deceive you.  What made this app good now requires payment.  Keep looking.

### 1/5 — Latest update bricked the app

*2026-01-05, version 3.3.0*

The update released at the end of 2025 has made the app unusable. Will not even open.

### 1/5 — It was okay- now it’s useless

*2026-01-04, version 3.3.0*

I have been using FitNotes for over a year- I work out 5 times a week, it worked fine- very simple and had to program in my own exercises, but let me track progress. Now it’s behind a paywall and utterly useless. I have to start again and find a free alternative. Very disappointed.

### 5/5 — Workout Import?

*2026-08-24, version 3.4.2*

Hey Devs

Just wondering when we will be able to import workouts using CSV?

### 5/5 — The only workout tracker you’ll need

*2026-08-12, version 3.4.2*

Get this app and purchase the pro version for life. This app is no frills everything you need to track your workouts. Add links from YouTube to exercises, rate your exertion, plan your future workouts, customize workouts while working out, if an exercise is missing, add it.  This has replaced years of notebooks and I couldn’t be happier. I used to always forget my notebook, but rarely my phone. Now I always have my workout. I even programmed my physical therapy to keep me on track. I love this app. Plus the customer service is awesome. As I use the app I have made suggestions and they always respond quickly.  Often the feature gets added in a few weeks. I couldn’t ask for more.

### 5/5 — Best Workout Tracker I Have Ever Used

*2026-08-09, version 3.4.2*

I have been training since 2018, and I recognized early on the importance of tracking my workouts. I cycled through so many apps and methods for tracking my progress but no approach had all of the features I wanted. FitNotes is the only app I’ve found that has a user interface I like, very customizable, convenient to use, and gives you in-app options to analyze your data in different ways. I have been a pro member for several years now and it was the best purchase I have never made. I highly recommend this app to gym professionals and newbies alike. If you’ve been looking for a highly capable yet simple and straightforward option to track your progress, your search is over.

### 5/5 — Best I’ve ever used

*2026-08-04, version 3.4.2*

This is the best weight lifting tracking app I’ve ever used. I cannot believe this is a free app. It does exactly what you need and nothing more. A beautiful product. No distractions and it just works.

### 5/5 — Calisthenics buddy

*2026-07-10, version 3.4.2*

Easy and Neat ! As perfect for someone hitting the gym OR Calisthenics. Already having lots of exercices presaved and the possibility to create personalized ones and add them to programs created by yourself !
Go for it !

### 5/5 — Perfect simple exercise log

*2026-05-16, version 3.4.2*

Simple and no non sense app for logging your workouts

### 5/5 — Straightforward and great

*2026-03-16, version 3.3.0*

Effective simple and reasonably intuitive, also a $5 once off if you want all the extra features which is very preferable to all the $40 a year subscriptions of the other big workout apps

### 5/5 — How an app is supposed to be

*2026-03-16, version 3.3.0*

Not only the best tracking app I’ve used, but one of the best apps I have. Simple, functional, and great UI. Happy to pay for it.

### 5/5 — Simple et efficace !

*2026-02-07, version 3.3.0*

Je cherchais une application pour construire mes propres programmes et consigner toutes mes sessions en toute simplicité et FitNotes est parfaite pour ça ! Pas de fioritures, on programme ce qu’on veut, on modifie les programmes en cours de route, les sessions suivantes sont automatiquement remplies avec les poids et répétitions précédemment atteints pour chaque exercice. Parfait !

### 5/5 — Best free tracker!

*2026-02-04, version 3.3.0*

Super easy to use and helps keep me consistent at the gym. Love being able to start from one of my workout templates and have my latest reps/weights already loaded in there. Makes progressive overload so easy to track!
