Fantastic *2022-02-13, version 1.3.1* So simple and easy to use. I read some other reviews when looking for some functions like deleting, but it is exactly what I need. I do wish there was a field to put in notes about each exercise (form instructions, source/video, modifications, etc). But the fact that I can structure it how I need without going down a rabbit hole of other people’s crap is so refreshing. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Wonderfully Simple, But Flawed *2021-07-25, version 1.2.0* A refreshingly simple app, but maybe too simplistic. You can’t delete or edit anything. I created an “Eliptical” workout, but spelled it incorrectly and can’t fix or even delete it. If there were a way to edit and delete I’d give this five deserved stars, now I’m likely to delete the whole thing from my phone. UPDATE: I added a star after hearing from the developer who pointed out that you can edit a created workout by long-holding on it. Still can’t figure out how to delete a specific workout that I prematurely saved. Also, for the distances in Cardio, it needs shorter distances travelled increments because most of us treadmill/elliptical in increments less than a mile. If I run 3.75 miles I want to record that figure, not round up to 4 miles. But for free, this app is still awesome. ### 5/5 — Yeah nice one *2021-06-30, version 1.0.2* Good one team. Works a treat ### 4/5 — Won’t allow me to purchase *2021-01-16, version 1.0.2* The app won’t allow me to purchase membership ### 4/5 — Good basic app *2020-06-07, version 1.0.2* Very easy to document workout each day but must enter it on the day you workout or else there is no way to go back and add in a workout you forgot to enter. This would be an easy fix! ### 5/5 — 5 Stars *2020-05-16, version 1.0.2* I never write reviews but, after using this app and seeing it wasn’t 5 stars, I just had to chime in. This app is simple, easy to use and effective. All of the others I tried are basically the opposite. When it comes to tracking, less is more. I think some people need to stop staring at their phones and get to work! ### 4/5 — Great App *2020-03-19, version 1.0.2* I have had no problems with the app. Is there any way to program drop sets? ### 3/5 — Needs a sound alarm after rest timer *2020-03-04, version 1.0.2* Needs a rest timer sound alarm!!! ### 3/5 — Seems like a good app but no how to use guide. How do you delete workouts and exercises you create? *2020-02-13, version 1.0.2* Thanks! ### 4/5 — Like the old gymbuddy *2020-01-29, version 1.0.2* Looks like it anyway. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Needs fixing *2022-06-13, version 1.3.5* Love this app but it keeps closing down. ### 1/5 — Deleted my history *2021-10-30, version 1.2.01* After years of using this app, all my data was wiped out. ### 1/5 — Broken *2021-05-20, version 1.0.2* Won’t let me open it, any way to fix that? It crashes ### 1/5 — Watch out you’ll get charged *2020-10-09, version 1.0.2* I was testing it out for a few weeks and all of the sudden I found a charge for 4+$ come to find out gym buddy charged me. For what I have no clue but now I’m stuck with them. It’s not free with app purchases and you don’t know your buying anything so be careful. Don’t use it unless your going to buy it. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2019-06-18, version 1.0.2* I can’t get it to add excercises to my workout ### 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. ### 2/5 — Lost all data! *2023-01-31, version 1.50.04* Last all my data! According to my setting I’ve been backing it up. Are there instructions on how to restore the back up. I could not open the app and had to delete and reinstall. Was there a bug? Can’t restore my purchase either, I get the spinning icon. ### 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? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice and simple workout notepad *2026-04-14, version 2026.04.05* Easy to use no unnecessary features ### 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 $ ### 5/5 — Simple, but does what you need it to *2023-01-21, version 1.50.04* I really like this app, because it allows you to track what you want to track, and doesn’t force you into some predefined work out. It’s flexible, yet it’s simple. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great tracking app *2022-08-30, version 1.4.0* I have used/tried a ton of apps to track my workouts and this is by far the best one yet. It is simple to use and tracks all the key elements of a workout. The developer is very responsive and listens to the user base. I think the only other thing I would like to see are personal records for an exercise. Keep up the great work. ### 5/5 — Best customer service ever! *2022-07-16, version 1.3.9* I had a problem with my app and the creator worked so hard until it got all squared away! The creator was so patient, persistent, and hard working while handling my issues and now it works beautifully! I’ve never had such great customer service in my life!! ### 5/5 — It just works… *2022-06-20, version 1.3.6* Dead simple Weightlifting, Sets, and Reps tracker. Has some extras too, such as a Barbell Weight calculator, Rest timer, Progress graphs, and One Rep Max estimates. If you are looking for easy progress tracking without all the fluff and recurring fees, this is it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
