Also enjoy the rest timer and it gives me notifications on my Garmin. I’ve recommended this to a few other gym goers and they also love the ease of use and overall design. ### 5/5 — Perfect workout app *2026-07-30, version 1.4.4* Does everything you need and does it well. Does not drown you in functions or lock what’s important behind a subscription. ### 5/5 — Best free option available *2026-07-29, version 1.4.4* Developer continues to improve ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-07-28, version 1.4.4* Downloaded the app today and it is exactly what I was looking for! I have been using notes on my phone to log my workouts: reps sets notes on each exercise and after a while it gets a little messy but this app will be my go to app now! I already built my own routines for the next couple of months and can’t wait to track my workouts more efficiently and see my progress!!! Will do a follow up review in coming months ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2026-07-26, version 1.4.4* Great great great app could not get any better. Only thing is could you guys add incline Pushup and diamond Pushup as well. ### 5/5 — Best gym app *2026-07-25, version 1.4.4* Best gym app, use it everyday, so many features for free. ### 5/5 — Maravilhoso o melhor app que já usei *2026-07-22, version 1.4.4* Eu uso ele a meses e amo , principalmente a atualização com vídeo explicativo de como fazer execicio ! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-18* I’m a novice gym goer, I was recommended this app from my friend who’s a lot more experienced. It’s been super helpful as we can share routines with each other, and seeing the previous set weight is super motivating to improve! Only thing I wish there was, is the opportunity to change the previous sets. To scroll through the history of all the lbs you’ve done and be able to choose which previous one to put in the comparison tab. However this might be already there as i’m new-ish to the app, and it’s also something super niche (we have one machine at our gym that the lbs are off, so it would be nice to go back and switch it if that makes sense). Overall though, it’s amazing and I recommend! **Developer response:** Thanks! Hey, you can't switch it, and I don't see why you would, but if you tap on the exercise name you can browse the history for this exercise, hope that helps! I don't fully understand the second question, do you want to change the exercise to kg or what? If yes then just tap menu button (Three dots ....) on the exercis tab. And finally, there is a contact section in the app, don't hestitate to use it if you have more questions! ### 5/5 — Perfect workout app *2026-07-17, version 1.4.4* I’m very new to working out, and in this time of my life I knew I needed to become the person I wanted to be. This app encouraged me to work out daily despite tiredness and sadness. I’m very grateful ### 5/5 — Best *2026-07-15, version 1.4.4* Best workout tracker. Hands down. Don't even bother with others.I paid for the lifetime subscription, but 95% of features are free. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-28, version 1.4.1* Brilliant app! ### 5/5 — This is the one you want *2026-06-27, version 1.4.0* Best workout log app in the App Store ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-06-27, version 1.4.1* Everything is so simple ### 5/5 — Love the strive app *2026-06-26, version 1.4.0* Very adaptable app. Has many features. I love having the ability to set custom timer for each individual exercise and select units (metric / imperial) for each exercise. However for cardio based exercises I did not see that feature. Hopefully it is added on the near future. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-06-24, version 1.3.2* The app is great for tracking your progress and also gives you motivation to keep working out! Awesomesauce ### 5/5 — Free Version Usage *2026-06-23, version 1.3.2* I’ve found this app to be very useful, I would consider purchasing after a little more usage. I’m sure it’s a lot of work putting this together. ### 5/5 — Best free tracking app oat *2026-06-23, version 1.3.2* It’s easy to navigate and easy to track progress it’s literally everything you need in a free app. No need to waste money on app that charges you but does less when this app is an option ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This app ignores the appstore in app rating setting and asks anyway. *2026-02-25, version 0.8.5* Stop begging. ### 3/5 — review *2026-08-20, version 1.4.4* annoying that it tries getting you to buy the subscription all the time but it’s a good way for me to track all my workouts ### 3/5 — Like it Better than Strong *2026-03-06* Switched after Strong major upgrade that made it worse in my opinion. The major shortcoming with this app is that if you need glasses and you’re not wearing them while you’re in the gym, you’re going to wind up, hitting the wrong button and doing something destructive. For example, I went to update one of my routines, and I hit the wrong button. It deleted everything from the routine, except the one exercise I was updating. There doesn’t appear to be a way to get it back with something like an undo command. You can go to history and view history and then you at least know what to re-enter but you have to go through the whole process of re-entering the exercises. At least the history is maintained, even if you deleted some of the exercises. **Developer response:** Thanks! I think everything is explained pretty clearly and all you need to do is to read warning with understanding, but I added and undo option to my todo list too ### 3/5 — Good app with scope of improvements. *2025-06-12, version 0.3.19* Needs improvement in some areas but overall useful app. The app size is relatively big, hopefully it can be reduced to make it lightweight. ### 3/5 — Almost there! *2024-05-22, version 0.1.30* A very promising app but some glitches: doesn’t always save when you want to. The ‘placeholder’ feature for substitute exercises would become very useful if placeholders could be given a custom title eg. Horizontal Push, Hinge Extend or else Lower Core, Upper Chest that would describe the kind of substitute. and also the ability to Superset placeholders. That way a generic routine could be used the same way as a specific one. ### 4/5 — Bit complicated *2026-08-15, version 1.4.4* New to the gym so logging my weight training through the app. Works fine but probably a lot more than I need. Probably 5* for a more dedicated weight trainer. ### 4/5 — Good, simple training app *2026-07-07, version 1.4.4* Very good, clean training app. Simple interface. The chime at the start of the rounds is great. The only hitch is when you’re doing timed on/off sets you have to interact to end the round. If it was able to chime at the start of rest and start of set (for timed sets only) I’d be made up. ### 4/5 — Problème *2026-06-20* Le minuteur ne sonne que si mon tel est déverrouillé! C’est problématique au paravant ça fonctionnait en mode verrouillé ! **Developer response:** Salut ! Je n'ai rien changé récemment. Ton téléphone est-il bien en mode silencieux ? Le mieux serait que tu me contactes via l'application pour que je puisse t'aider. ### 4/5 — Great app for minimalistic tracking. *2026-06-19* Have been using the app for a while and it suits my needs well, which is just recording the workouts everyday, and referencing the previous workout. One feedback would be, when saving the workout the app prompts to save the current values or adjust them, it would be cool if there is a button which lets us save the higher value of the two. **Developer response:** Awesome, thanks! This view will be redone in the new version ### 4/5 — Almost Perfect *2026-06-14, version 1.3.2* Everything is perfect. The only thing that messes it up is the fact that the “Torso Rotation Machine” isn’t in the list of exercises. Other than that everything is perfect. Hope it can get added soon. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very good app *2026-08-27, version 2.0.1* Very good app, no adds and helps me keep track of progress very well. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Amazing App!! *2026-08-26, version 2.0.1* I love tracking my workouts and progress in this app. It’s super user friendly and helpful. If you aren’t familiar with an exercise, there is a clip of the movement as well as directions, which helps a lot ### 5/5 — Top *2026-08-22* Gratuit et très bien faites **Developer response:** Merci! ### 5/5 — 10/10 product *2026-08-20, version 1.4.4* Amazing app, I would love to see more calisthenic exercises incorporated into the exercise library. ### 5/5 — Best gym app *2026-08-19* The best gym app I have ever used! You don’t have any limits of the number of workouts you can create. Lots of options to track your progress (rir, notes, tempo, sets and more). I’m giving it 5 stars without hesitation! **Developer response:** Thank you sir! ### 5/5 — Great app, small suggestion *2026-08-16* I’m using it from past 1 year juat small suggestion in the cardio exercise there is one field for distance could you give option there to change unit from miles in km as in india we use km rather then miles **Developer response:** You can already do this per exercise, just press menu on exercxise card ### 5/5 — Easy & Free! *2026-08-13* I love, love, love this gym logger so much. I’ve struggled for months trying to find one that didn’t have me pay to unlock certain amount of routines. It’s very user friendly and I love the ability to add your own workouts. I love the UI! My only issue is Strive not having a widget I can add to my Home Screen that way I can see all my progress without having to open the app. It’s less of an issue, more of a quality of life deal. However, I still love this app! **Developer response:** Thanks a lot, now you have some widgets! ### 5/5 — Workouts *2026-08-11, version 1.4.4* This app is great good selection of excersises so can find almost everything It’s easy uncomplicated And saves all you do is recorded ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-09, version 1.4.4* Amazing app. has stuff under paywall but it’s not needed and app is great without it ### 5/5 — Great free and user friendly *2026-08-03, version 1.4.4* I’m enjoying this app thank you --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
