### 5/5 — The only good lifting app

*2025-12-08, version 1.8.5*

Straightforward and simple to become stronk


It would be nice to be able to reset everything back to defaults though. I made several modifications and it’d nice go back to vanilla configuration

### 2/5 — Doesn’t handle progressions and failures

*2025-11-29, version 1.8.5*

I really wanted to like this app! But I’ve been using GZCLP for a few weeks now and it doesn’t naturally progress weights and it doesn’t change the sets and reps when I fail a workout at a given weight. These are essential for this program.

### 5/5 — Will update

*2025-06-13, version 1.8.4*

I will let them review if needed. However, after trying for today’s workout, I greatly appreciated this simplicity of the app. I look forward to seeing how it functions long-term. Will update after day four

### 1/5 — Can’t change to kg

*2025-01-31, version 1.8.4*

Might be a bug but I can’t change to kg

### 5/5 — pretty good

*2025-01-25, version 1.8.4*

it is pretty good

### 3/5 — Units

*2024-10-31, version 1.8.4*

App looks great and looking forward to our to use. Can’t seem to change weight units. I can see in the settings the option to open the menu (units and rounding) but it doesn’t do anything. All the weights in Europe/Uk are in Kg not lb. Need to be able to change to lb

### 3/5 — Missing some functionality listed

*2024-10-02, version 1.8.4*

Can’t changed weight units, but handles progressions well would like easier exercise substitution options.

### 5/5 — Easy to make gains!

*2024-09-03, version 1.8.4*

Super simple to use app with several different training cycles available, all easily adjustable and the theory behind cody’s programs is easy to understand and adapt. Have come back to it several times to make easy progression without killing myself and spending hours in the gym everyday in between other more focused programs!

### 4/5 — Great idea, no maintenance

*2024-08-01, version 1.8.4*

Recommendation for alarm to play even if the app is closed/inactive.

Used for 2 years. A lot of progressions don’t work and not a ton of customization. I’d pay more for these features than the $5.

### 4/5 — Workout plans

*2024-04-16, version 1.8.4*

Workout plan helped me jump start again, just wish there was options to vary plans between heavier lifting and cardio based plyo workouts.
