### 2/5 — Glitches

*2021-08-01*

The GSLP itself is great however the app bugs out way too often.   Weight for certain lifts will increase to astronomical numbers.  I appreciate the weight increase in my squat but maybe a trillion plus is a little too much.

### 1/5 — Attractive but non-functional

*2021-05-10*

Nice looking app.  Unfortunately, by the third workout of week one, it upped my Row from 205 to 475.  That doesn’t sound right.  My squat went from 235 to 3790342797 lbs (literally, this is the warm up sets it picked for me.  Work sets were twice that.)  

The only thing an app like this absolutely must have is the ability to record amounts and pick the next weights.  If it can’t do that, then it’s fundamentally broken.

Restarting app and phone causes no improvement.

Off to find an app that does the same thing but actually works.

### 3/5 — Next workout was over the top

*2019-10-17*

The programming of my workout is nice, but when I logged in to do the next workout later in the week, it had increased my exercises by THOUSANDS of pounds. Example: I’d completed 15 amrep at 45lbs on my bent over rows, and the next time I went to do the workout, it said to use 47306820lbs!!!! That’s insane.

### 4/5 — Pretty good app, small tweaks would make five stars.

*2019-09-16*

There are just two things keeping this from 5 stars for me:

I would like to back out of a lift to go to the whole menu without closing the app. 

I would like to be able to look at projected weight for future lifts (even if it’s only two-three weeks out). It could go with the assumption that I complete my lifts perfectly to that point and adjust if I fail along the way.

### 4/5 — Wish there was more customization available

*2019-02-23*

Wish I could add in a few more additional exercises to track, can only track what they have in the app.

**Developer response:** Hi! Custom exercises is a planned feature - in the meantime, you can email any additional exercises you'd like to contact@dangertechnologies.com and we'll add it within a week!
