I’m nearly 50 and am stronger than I have ever been. Solidly within the 1000 pound club. This program works. I’m not one to tell people how to work out, but if they ask I tell them to do NSuns. ### 5/5 — Back online *2025-06-18, version 1.14.3* Thanks for getting this back on the App Store, I was lost in the gym without it! You rock. ### 5/5 — best training program app *2024-10-29, version 1.14.3* been using this app for a long time, best app ever! ### 5/5 — Simple, easy, and IT WORKS *2024-10-03, version 1.14.3* I look amazing because of this app. I get stronger everytime I use it. ### 5/5 — Fantastic and free *2024-10-01, version 1.14.3* Provides all of the functionality I need ### 5/5 — Beste App zum Kraftaufbau *2024-09-08, version 1.14.3* Kudos für diese App ### 5/5 — Genuinely good *2024-08-27, version 1.14.3* Excellent app for keeping track of nSuns programming. Customizable enough to fit other programs in as well. Can’t believe it’s free ### 5/5 — Better than some subscription based apps *2024-08-25, version 1.14.3* The fact that this app is free is absolutely insane. I’ve been looking for a solid program for a while and almost every app I’ve come across is either completely pay-walled or very bare bones without a subscription. This app is incredibly user-friendly, flexible, and nothing is behind a paywall or “reference a friend for 2 free workouts” or ad driven. Even if nSuns isn’t my ideal program i am inclined to try it out now specifically because of this app. ### 5/5 — Love the gains *2024-08-18, version 1.14.3* Great program. Can’t believe this is free! ### 5/5 — Almost perfect *2024-05-27, version 1.14.3* The only thing I can possibly think of which the app doesn’t appear to do is a plate calculator for the total weight amounts but that seems like such a small gripe for what is truly a fantastic app for getting to grips with a training regimen. Absolutely recommended and definitely donate if you can (I have done so and will consider doing so again 6 training cycles later). ### 5/5 — Dad bod killer! *2024-04-14, version 1.14.3* Used it off and on for years and it’s been my go to when time fix my dad bod! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2024-03-09, version 1.14.3* Been using the app for close to 7 weeks now. It’s been superb so far! Only the occasional freeze every not and then but nothing a quick restart won’t fix, thank you for making this. ### 5/5 — 굿 *2024-02-11, version 1.14.3* 최고에요 너무 깔끔하고 직관적이여서 잘 사용하고 있습니다 ### 5/5 — I use this every day *2024-01-27, version 1.14.3* Absolutely love NSUNS. I’ve noticed myself getting stronger & stronger each lift. And the just makes everything seamless! ### 5/5 — I’d give it 6/5 stars *2024-01-02, version 1.14.3* as a beginner power lifter that isn’t good at math it’s amazingly helpful and helps me know when it’s optimal for me to try and PR ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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!! 🤙 ### 1/5 — Not 5/3/1 *2023-10-13, version 1.14.3* Not sure why he calls this 5/3/1 causes its not… reps-sets-percentages are all different from 5/3/1… will it build muscle yes is it 5/3/1 absolutely not ### 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. ### 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. ### 2/5 — A good start *2017-09-01, version 1.1.0* A bit rough on the edges but the heart of nsuns is here. It still needs the ability to add exercises aside from the listed ones, the ability to re-add TM after having started the app (when you first launch it asks you but after that it doesn't allow you to edit it) and a timer that starts with your first set and ends with your last would be VERY convenient. With all those above I'd actually pay for this app. ### 3/5 — Excellent app, Apple Watch issues *2019-12-26, version 1.13.1* This app is fantastic, first and foremost. Some notable issues with the timer and the occasional bug but overall a phenomenally helpful tool. However, I can’t seem to get it working on my new watch. I’ve tried uninstalling/reinstalling multiple times but it can’t even get past opening the app. Tap it, loads for a sec, and immediately crashes. ### 3/5 — App is missing the 4-day OHP variation *2017-11-03, version 1.4.0* The app looks great and features everything you need. Or at least almost. I personally do the 4-day OHP variation (Monday is OHP + Close grip Bench and Thursday is Bench + OHP) and there is no way to configure that. I think the best thing would be to allow the users to actually be able to choose what exercise they want to do on each day of the week and not just propose a set of existing variations of the nSuns program ### 4/5 — Good app *2024-01-02, version 1.14.3* The app is really good overall. I just wish you could customize the days you want to go. ### 4/5 — Best app for NSUNS *2023-10-09, version 1.14.3* But I was hoping for a plate calculator feature. Or maybe I’m just not able to find it? Would also be nice to add other types of main and supplementsry lifts so we can also keep track of them and plug them into the Nsuns program. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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) ### 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 💪🏻 ### 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 ### 5/5 — This app is my lifeblood *2026-01-16, version 1.15.0* When this app stopped working, I stopped going to the gym. Now that it’s back - it’s gains season baby. This app is my lifeblood ### 5/5 — Why can’t all apps be like this *2026-01-07, version 1.14.3* Fee and incredibly useful ### 5/5 — Incredible value *2025-10-03, version 1.14.3* Ease of tracking lifts, accessory exercise customization, weight tracking. This app has everything you need to run nsuns, and more. And with an incredibly easy to use interface. I can’t believe this app is free ### 5/5 — Love it. *2025-07-03, version 1.14.3* I moved from android to ios and found this while searching reddit.
