### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-05-09, version 2.2.0*

Fantastic updates! I have been using this app off and on since 2017 and I still can’t believe it’s free.

### 5/5 — New update misses the mark - FIXED

*2026-04-07, version 2.1.0*

Edit: latest update fixed all of this!

Been using the app for years, nice and simple, easy to use, does what it needs to do. The new redesign update has modernised the interface, which isn’t a bad thing on its own, but it has almost ruined the app experience in terms of usability. 

The text is now harder to read. 
You now cannot navigate in the app if there is an active timer. 
You now have to tap a specific small icon to log a set, whereas previously you could tap anywhere on the set item.

### 5/5 — New update rocks

*2026-04-05, version 2.0.2*

New update is awesome. Thanks dev(s)

### 2/5 — Love nSuns

*2026-04-04, version 2.0.2*

Used this app for years even when updates stalled.   Overall love how the app does the math for me weight wise.  The UI now sucks.  I don’t need pretty, I just need clean and simple.  It’s a workout app.

### 5/5 — Einfach toll!

*2026-04-02, version 2.0.1*

Eine die beste Training Apps die ich bis jetzt hatte. Hilft mir sehr viel und ist sehr hilfreich 💪🏻

### 1/5 — Please change back

*2026-04-01, version 2.0.1*

I love the old design the new layout is restrictive. I can’t select multiple items at the same time. Have to wait for the timer to finish :( also once the timer starts it freezes everything else. Also the “manage” button is redundant. The great thing about this app was flexibility and customization and this update takes away all that. Graphic is prettier for sure but useability is not so good anymore. Please at least change the functionality and layout back.

### 2/5 — New UI

*2026-04-01, version 2.0.1*

New UI looks like it was made by AI. Everything is way too spaced out and it changes the flow of the app. Why is everything so bubbly now? I preferred the more compact layout.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2026-03-31, version 2.0.1*

Latest update keeps crashing when opening on iOS 26.4. Please fix I'm trying to go to the gym!! 🤙

### 5/5 — Used it for years, a few suggestions for new UI

*2026-03-31, version 2.0.1*

I have used this app for many years now and it’s an easy 5/5. Set up your training max and it auto-calculates weights based on percentages. It’s relatively easy to edit templates and add accessories as well. Starting a new week automatically increases your weights, it all could not be easier!
A few pieces of constructive feedback on the new UI:
1) please, please, please allow us to use the app fully during the rest timer. With the new UI you can either have a rest timer or skip it to use the app to check your next set’s weight or upcoming accessories for a superset. I use rest to review and set up my next sets or exercise, and would prefer not to have to choose between a rest timer or time saved in the gym. the previous UI’s rest timer was nicely positioned at the bottom of the screen but still allowed us to navigate the rest of the app!
2) create a ‘condensed mode’ to show more information on the screen. NSuns has a lot of sets! And it now requires a lot of scrolling to see them all (and you cannot scroll down during a rest timer). similarly, the old UI was more compact and we could see a lot more without needing to scroll
3) allow us to tap on an accessory as we could previously to open up the weight/sets. The new ‘manage’ feature is nice but if I have 4-6 accessory exercises, I need to consistently scroll down the ‘manage’ window to check off sets
4) a nice to have, not related to the new UI is the ability to create supersets for accessories!

### 5/5 — Solid app

*2026-01-16, version 1.15.0*

Love this app for years
