### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY. Doesn’t work, want refund.

*2017-11-28, version 1.0.5*

DO NOT BUY!
I purchased the ‘pro’ version of this app, which initially looked like it would be ideal. 

Unfortunately when I tried to create a workout the app just freezes and then doesn’t work at all. Tried in two different iPhones, same result in each. I emailed support and got no answer at all. I want a refund.

### 1/5 — The 15 10 and 5 rep max settings don’t reliably save

*2023-04-06*

This is maddening to go through a workout to figure out my max weights and the app lost about half of it. This has happened multiple times and the first time I assumed I had done something wrong, but then the second and third times the problem kept happening. I seriously regret purchasing this.

### 1/5 — Pro 업그레이드 해도 안바뀌네요

*2020-10-30*

돈만 날린듯 싶네요. 수정 부탁드립니다.

### 1/5 — Was good when it worked

*2020-10-06, version 1.0.5*

I purchased the pro version which worked really well. It’s now stopped working and I am
Unable to start a new cycle which has rendered the app useless.

### 1/5 — 쓰레기임

*2020-07-13*

프로 업그레이드했는데 에러 계속 나서 지우고 다시 깔았더니 또 돈내고 업그레이드하라고함. 에러 좀 고쳐라. 만지작 거리다가 운동시간 다 쳐먹네.
 U gotta fix bugs. Too many bugs, cannot even use the app. Wast my workout time.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-04-05, version 1.0.5*

Won’t populate weights in the workout section. Doesn’t save change from lbs to kgs. Buggy and unusable, sadly

### 1/5 — Do not buy it

*2019-10-26, version 1.0.5*

I bought the pro version and app doesn’t allow to include more exercices.
I saw on reviews that its happening since 2 years ago... Im gonna ask for a refund and report the seller.

### 1/5 — Unusable with bugs

*2019-08-16, version 1.0.5*

Massive bug when selecting weight increments that the screen doesn’t work making the app no usable at all
Developer disappeared and won’t reply to emails

### 1/5 — Super buggy

*2019-05-09*

Great concept but unfortunately full of bugs. I wish this was as reliable as the developer’s 5/3/1 app.

### 1/5 — Freezing up

*2018-12-31, version 1.0.5*

I purchased the pro version app and all it is doing is freezing up.
Not happy. I would like a refund

### 1/5 — No response to questions

*2018-12-09, version 1.0.5*

I’m not happy about the lack of response to what appears to be a logic problem with the exercise database.  It mixes up rep and sets.

### 5/5 — Much needed app!

*2019-06-12*

I cannot say enough how grateful I am for this super simple and clean app for HST training. I love using HST but the spreadsheets floating around are a pain in the butt to use on the phone. This little app is quite simply amazing! I’ve never bought “pro” so fast in my life. A bit of a niche market but if you’re using the HST way of fitness workouts, this app is an absolute life saver.

### 5/5 — 운동목적

*2018-08-23*

목적설정할수있으면 좋을거같아요 근비대라든지 power 나 스트렝스나 중점적으로 할수있게 설정할수있도록

### 3/5 — Increments are weird

*2022-02-23*

I’m new to HST so this might be me… but most of my weights first day were zero. It’s hard to figure out what to change the increments to if I can’t see them in one grid. I’m switching to an excel spreadsheet.

### 3/5 — Almost there

*2020-11-24*

On the latest iOS I can't change the weight increment type. It's a blank screen.

### 3/5 — Needs some updates

*2019-07-09*

I’ve been using it for 3 weeks now and I do like it but Reorder workouts doesn’t work. And you also can’t update the weight lifted while working out.
