### 5/5 — Just what I need

*2026-05-21*

Can’t believe this app is free and ad free. Been using it for over a year and it’s perfect for my needs. It’s very simple, you can build workouts, track progress, all in a sleek app. Feature request: love to see trend lines for super sets over time. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Major Slay

*2026-03-25, version 3.6.4*

You’re looking at the best fitness app out there. Beautiful and intuitive interfaces soothe all weary muscle-freak kind and lead the uninitiated to hotness— major slay. Stop reading this and buy it now, nerd.

### 5/5 — Flawless

*2026-01-12, version 3.6.4*

Easy, intuitive, simple, and well designed .

### 4/5 — Great starter workout app!

*2025-12-11*

This is a great workout app and probably one of the best ones I had found when I initially started working out. I used this app for probably two years. It’s simple, easy to use, and has a really nice interface. It does almost everything you need without all the extra bloat of other apps. Eventually, I switched to a more complex app because I wanted additional features that didn’t seem like they were in the Gains pipeline, which is fine. The only real downside to the Gains app is that you can’t plan future workouts and it’s not possible to re-order sets and routines if your workout changes while you’re doing it. This app is really designed to enter your workout as you’re doing it. If you use the routine feature and have it bring the sets in from that you can’t re-order them if you do them out of order from what is shown.  As a Taipei personality that kind of annoyed me. Otherwise, though, this is a perfect app for most people starting out in the gym or just casual gym goers.  Highly recommend!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words! Yes, all the features you’re using (and many more to come) are 100% free! There will be a new subscription coming soon that will introduce some even more powerful stuff for you, but everything you’re seeing now will always be free!

### 5/5 — Great workout tracking

*2025-10-24, version 3.5.2*

It’s a great app, with some minor bugs. I would gladly pay to buy the full featured version, but I am not going to pay a subscription.

### 4/5 — Great

*2025-10-23, version 3.5.2*

Looks clean, tracks exercises, sets and weights as needed. Shows previous numbers when you do an exercise again so you can easily remember where you were last time. Wish a couple things from the subscription  were free, but that's what makes people pay I guess. Kinda wish there was a one time purchase option instead of a subscription. Even free though, this app is great and does everything I need it to.

### 5/5 — Well designed and thought out

*2025-10-09*

I’ve been using this app for over a year now. It is beautifully designed but more importantly I enjoy how detailed and visual all my traction can be. Has all the details I want to specify things. Most apps who have a fraction of these features feel bulky and confusing and look gross. This one is easy to navigate and has more features than others I’ve found.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words!

### 5/5 — 100% worth it

*2025-09-17, version 3.4.1*

Finally a free gym tracking app thats actually free!! Definitely download worth a try.

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2025-08-24, version 3.3.2*

App is perfect. Im not a solid routine type of guy but I do like to track my progress. This app is perfect for freestyle type of lift sessions. You can also build routines if that’s more your speed.

### 5/5 — Just honest

*2025-08-13, version 3.2.9*

Best app free app (as of right now) for tracking lifting routines.  I love it
