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

Response from developer

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.

Bring back the old version

A lot of the great old
Features have not been replicated. Clunky to use and slow latency at time. Hopefully will be improved in future updates.

Some more updating needed

This is my favourite app, but the recent overhaul and facelift still needs some tweaks:-

“Finish Workout” - arbitrary, easy to miss, too much click-through to get there. Just let us finish and be done.

“Workout in Progress” - needlessly restrictive, especially when swapping between workouts on ad hoc days. Old system worked fine enough in this regard.

Update isn’t great

The old app had a lot of useful features like 1 rep max , max weight done, max reps done etc and a star and sound would occur whenever you accomplished a record…all of that has been removed with the update I’m not sure who thought of this update but clearly they don’t work out I have had the original app for over 7 years such a disappointment…….thanks for the response updated my review still prefer for it to be u def the exercise so everything is seen at once instead of having to go into each particular exercise therefore lack of 5 star review

Response from developer

Good news: all of that is still in the app, and you're already running the version with it. 1RM, max weight and max reps: tap an exercise's name during a workout (or from the Exercises tab) and its page shows your estimated 1RM, heaviest set, and rep maxes (plus the training percentages). The record celebration: a trophy appears on the set the moment you beat a record, with its own distinct buzz, and your records are called out again on the finish screen. The one thing that genuinely changed is the sound--it's a haptic now rather than an audible chime. But your request has been added to my roadmap for future updates. If any of the above isn't showing up for you, email support@gymlogplus.com and I'll sort it for you. -Wade

Love it

I’ve been using this app for years, love it for simplicity and price. And loads of functionality for a gym user who just wants to plan and track their workouts. Don’t need lots of motivational claptrap and fancy graphics.

My only complaint is that the description and the graphics for the exercise don’t always tally. This would be an easy improvement for the developer to do progressively, just clean up the database of exercises. Do that and this gets 5 stars

The upgrade is good, importing history is easy - just check if you have multiple profiles since the upgrade doesn’t select by default your most recent and so you may think you’ve lost all those routines you developed and the associated history. You haven’t, just select the latest profile. And if you are new to the App, is irrelevant !!

general good app, but text size an issue

good app, but if you have larger text size as your default, you can't see half of the buttons and weights to log reps

Not loving new UI changes

I have been using this app for probably about a couple years now and I really loved it. It was really easy to switch between workouts. It was easy to documents my set and reps pretty much everything about it was simplicity with a bunch of extra features that you realize you didn’t realize you’d love. Now it’s so difficult for me to navigate between exercise exercises. I can’t even figure out how to end a workout I’m doing, it’s so difficult to even just navigate between exercise exercises compared to before I’m not really sure what happened but probably gonna start looking for alternatives.

Response from developer

Both of these are quicker than they look. Ending a workout: tap the three-dots menu at the top right and choose Finish Workout, or swipe past your last exercise to the finish page. Moving between exercises: swipe left and right, or tap the list button at the top right to jump straight to any exercise in the session. You're the third person this month to tell me the workout controls are hard to find, which makes it my problem rather than yours, so it's on my list for something to improve on. If ending a workout still doesn't work after trying the menu, email support@gymlogplus.com because then it's a bug that I'll want to investigate and fix. -Wade
