Yikes
whoever you hired to overhaul the user interface of this app should be fired immediately. I have used this app for years and now it is so complicated it is unusable.
Old UI plz
I miss the old UI, so much simpler and easier to understand. I have to start a workout rather than just allowing me to track my reps and sets, too many options now I just miss the old UI so much 😔
Used to be great
No longer allows the use of multiple workouts at once. The old app was worth paying for. Not so much anymore
Awful
Just to be good now terrible
Lost ability to sync calories burned with Oura Ring
Good, but the new release doesn’t seem to add calories burned for a workout to Apple Health for syncing into Oura’s software. That worked prior to the upgrade. Seems like now it only does that if you wear something like an Apple Watch, which I don’t have.
Love it +
Have been using it for years, and we now have a new interface. Love it even more!
Great Workout Tracker
I’ve been using Gym Log+ for 6 years, and it does exactly what it promises. Fast, reliable, and simple to use, with a useful export feature and a great overview of what I’ve done over time. Great support as well. No annoying ads and no requirement to connect to social media. Just a solid app that does its job well.

Great app but…
I love this app. Been using it for soo long. The developers updated the entire app which is nice but there is no ability to preset different sets. Before there was the ability to set straight sets and pyramid sets. I like the update but the previous setup was more visibly appealing and straightforward. Please bring back the ability to preset pyramid sets and also bring back the plate calculator. Being able to see the actual bar image and tap the weights made it easier to calculate plates. Currently you have too many clicks. Clicking into plates then selecting the plates then hitting confirm just to be taking to the main screen to hit log. (Wayyyy to many clicks) lost version was you tapped the plates and logged..simple

Over 10 years of using this app
This is by far the best app I have ever used. Always functional. Well thought out and developer always happy to take on feedback and implement. What more could anyone ask. Highly recommend this app.
Ruined a great app with a terrible update
I used the app for about 7 years, it was simple and easy to use. The update makes it hard work, complicated and wouldn’t recommend anyone to use it. If you change your workout every month e.g from dumbbell to barbell and you want a simple chest workout to log, don’t bother getting this awkward app. Over 1000 workouts saved and now have to find another one with the update not making it user friendly

Bad UI Update
This has been go to for years , simple easy to use , but this recent update butcher the whole thing. It so confusing , doesn’t work correctly. Went from using it daily to never touching it again. Smh, please give us the option to go back to the old UI
New version
I have been using this app for years and was initially concerned with the recent overhaul. Well I have to say that the developer has worked hard at fine tuning the app and I’m feeling up to speed on the new great new features.
Great app, even better support
This app is easy to use, has all the features I need, and the developer responds promptly to suggestions. Cannot recommend this app highly enough.
New update is Fantastic🔥
I’ve been using this app for the last 5 years. And I thought that developer gave up on this app as there wasn’t any major new updates. But I was wrong. The new update is amazing to save the least!
Good Update
Okay I was wrong, this update is actually very good!
What happened
This app’s functionality changed for the worse. It is now clunky and unhelpful. Bring back the old version or at least an option to switch to the old UI.
Update
10 + years with this app. At first, like many, I wasn’t too happy. But, after importing all my previous workouts and evaluating the app since the update, I am very pleased with the new features, addition of motion for many of the exercise previews, being able to change workout parameters, minutes, reps only, etc. Also, the Apple Watch integration is much better. I have tried a few other gym apps and this one is still my app of choice.

Response from developer
Thank you, and thank you for giving it a second look. The first few weeks after the rebuild were rough, and a lot of long-time users understandably didn't stick around long enough to see it improve. Ten years is a long time to trust an app, and I don't take it lightly that you're still here. The exercise animations and improved Apple Watch integration you mentioned were both things I wanted in the original and never managed, so happy to hear they are working well. -Wade
Great app, but
App worked just perfect for many years that I’ve been using it. Then developers try to fix something that wasn’t broken and it broke. I absolutely hate the new “better” version as it does all the wrong things, somehow there are 2 of me now, can’t copy my workout, only edit or create new one and constant app freeze. Stop “fixing” and un-fix back to previous version.
** update, app is even worse now. It glitches, its slow, it forgets the sound of the end of a set ….it was good while it was untouched. I will never again sponsor anything from this developer.

Old Version Better
Gone through several updates since the format was changed, still do not like this app as much as I did in the earlier version. They took away a couple of the things I like most about this app like being able to see rest between sets in previous workouts and the current workout. And then they added so many features that are more obnoxious than they are useful. For example: I have two leg days in my current program and I do leg extensions both workouts, except that in one routine I do 2 sets and the other I do 4. But now when I’m on my 4 set day it shows what I did on my 2 set day and as soon as I finish my second set it skips to the next exercise, so I have to keep scrolling back. And the feature that automatically moves you to the next exercise itself is also terrible, I like to compare how I did with previous workouts and it moves to the next one before I get a second to look at the numbers. I find myself scrolling back often, when in the old version I could just scroll over when I was ready. Also, the superset button is in the worst spot. At least 3 times I’ve inadvertently hit it and then when I’m waiting for the bell to ring for my next set I end up taking longer rest periods than I wanted because the bell doesn’t ring during supersets. Editing your sets is not very intuitive, there used to just be a big edit button if you typed the wrong weight or reps, it took me two weeks to realize you have to hold the set down to make changes. The little arrow just takes you to stats. Why would I think that holding it down would open the edit option? Overall, change is still more bad than good

Most of what you're missing is switched off rather than removed, and I'm sorry that isn't obvious ( that's on me not you). Settings → Workout: turn on Show Set Times for rest between sets. Turn Auto-Advance off so it stops moving on before you've compared. And turn on Match History to Routine in the settings so only show your 2-set day's numbers. Editing a set is a long press, which you're right isn't discoverable. On the superset button: mis-tapping it silently stops your rest bell, which is a genuine flaw and now on my list. Try those three switches as they change that screen into most of what you're describing. And if you'd rather tell me directly what's still wrong: support@gymlogplus.com. -Wade
Best True Lift Tracker
I’ll be 49 in a few days and I’ve been using this app for years- it’s been amazing. It’s easy to track and log sets and exercises, but it’s just as easy to completely change your routines and workouts.
Their complete app update made everything better without compromising the functionality of the previous iteration. Best lifting tracker on the Market.
