### 5/5 — Nice and simple workout notepad

*2026-04-14, version 2026.04.05*

Easy to use no unnecessary features

### 1/5 — Doesn't Transfer between devices

*2025-08-12, version 2025.7.14*

The Cloud sync doesn't work and the "restore purchases" doesn't work either. On my old phone I have "unlimited sets". On the new one, I have to resubscribe and I when I go to restore purchase....nothing happens. 

Decent app but needs the kinks worked out.

### 1/5 — No good

*2025-07-13, version 2025.7.11*

This app loses all my workouts after about four or five months, not worth it

### 5/5 — Super easy

*2025-04-24, version 24.9.27*

Exactly what I need to just track my workouts

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-03-31, version 24.9.27*

This app is really great for logging your workouts and keeping track of your progress. I really appreciate how easy it is to use.

### 5/5 — Great App! Just what is needed so it doesn’t distract from lifting!

*2025-03-27, version 24.9.27*

This is a great app! It is literally the key thing that enables me to keep lifting and follow a structured productive workout.  I paid for it and the cost is completely worth it.  This app is so helpful.  When you think of how much you pay for gym equipment or gym memberships this app is really worth so much more than it costs.  

I have tried many other apps (including the big popular ones) and many other approaches (pen and paper, videos, etc.).  None of those other apps have given me key ingredients that keep me on track for my lifting routine. All the bloat and marketing and cross-selling in the big apps just wastes valuable time and drains motivation. This app just gives you what you need to keep doing what you need to without getting in your way.

I have three requests for developer:
1) some of my lift names are longer that one line and when they are this long I can only see the first few words of the name on the lifting screen.  It would be great to implement word wrap
2)  somehow my exercise categories got duplicated (maybe from an update) and I can’t seem to delete the duplicates
3) it would be great to also add a “technique notes” feature where I could write something like “feet and arms shoulder width, legs straight for Romanian deadlift”  for the clean and press, etc. there are lots of technique notes that would be nice to make and reference while lifting.

### 5/5 — Best App

*2025-01-09, version 24.9.27*

Been using this app for 5 years. Love it!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2024-11-02, version 24.9.27*

Simple and easy to use
Needs a total kg/day/week/mnth  
Worth the $

### 2/5 — Doesn't Transfer between devices

*2024-07-12*

The Cloud sync doesn't work and the "restore purchases" doesn't work either. On my old phone I have "unlimited sets". On the new one, I have to resubscribe and I when I go to restore purchase....nothing happens. 

Decent app but needs the kinks worked out.

### 3/5 — Purchase Price

*2023-08-05, version 1.50.04*

Different price than in your description write up. Does the app record volumes for each workout day?
