### 5/5 — Great app!

*2019-11-06, version 5.1.3*

Simple and easy to use. No annoying ads popping up. Thanks for the great app!

### 5/5 — Video links are helpful

*2019-10-09, version 5.1*

Really appreciate the links to the different exercises!

### 5/5 — Great

*2019-08-06, version 4.0*

Started using this app recently and finding it very helpful. Simple and easy to use. Keeps me focussed on what I need to do rather than bouncing between machines at random. 
Only thing I would like is the ability to edit historical workouts as I’ve noticed having previously finished a workout with an incorrect weight in it I’ve no way to change it.

### 5/5 — Great simple app, gets job done

*2019-07-31, version 4.0*

Great simple app and gets the job done. Only critique is 2.5 lbs increments would be nice!

### 5/5 — Great little app

*2019-07-23, version 4.0*

Really simple but useful app. If there would be option to edit saved workouts, timers, exercises etc. i’d me more than happy to pay for it :)

### 5/5 — Loving PHUL

*2019-07-13, version 3.0*

Started using PHUL app last week and finding it really useful for recording my gym visits...the PHUL program is helping me to be structured and focused during my gym sessions, I was previously wandering from machine to machine, hoping the 12week program shows some significant progress.

### 5/5 — Great starter

*2019-06-27, version 3.0*

Simple and to the point. No need to do any guesswork.

I like the graph like progression sheet it has.

### 5/5 — A great free PHUL tracker

*2019-06-05, version 3.0*

This app has been great.  Free and no ads.  The timer is a bit buggy, but has been a great addition.

### 5/5 — Love this

*2019-05-31, version 3.0*

I was doing StrongLifts 5x5 and loving it but I wanted to do a little bit more...this is the perfect program bc it focuses on strength AND size. I do wish you could use weights that weren’t multiples of 5 (ie, 12 lbs dumbbells) and the dumbbell exercises still have weight calculations as if you were using a barbell but it’s easy to customize.

### 5/5 — Practical

*2019-05-01, version 2.1*

Simple and lightweight. Just wish there was a way to sub in other exercises.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-10-11*

The weight resets to some random weight and stuffs everything up constantly changing the weight, can’t add workouts in

**Developer response:** Hey, would you mind sending me a quick email at shimo035@umn.edu to give me some more details about what’s happening? I’m not sure exactly what the problem is but I’d like to fix it.

### 2/5 — Add alternates and power cleans .

*2024-11-02, version 12.4*

I just signed up for premium. Not at all what I was hoping for customizable. I want to add Power cleans and snatches on power upper days. Thinking of canceling.

### 4/5 — Great app but the timer constantly freezes

*2023-04-28, version 12.4*

This is a great app but can you please fix the timer? It freezes all the time

### 4/5 — Great app, just needs one feature

*2022-08-18, version 12.4*

Sound alerts. Would be nice to have the option to have an audio alert so I don’t always have to look at my phone.

### 4/5 — PHUL Works

*2022-03-14, version 12.2*

Great workout with a focused mix on gains and rest.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2020-02-13, version 7.1*

Absolutely love this app, not too happy with new restrictive amount of free plate calculators 
- Also wish we could add additional exercises (free format would be fine)

Improvements to add:
-A notepad option for recording random free text info
-Logging workout duration time
-Ability to edit rest periods

### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2020-02-04, version 7.1*

Great app, but please add the ability for pro users to add more exercises to their custom routine.

### 4/5 — good but

*2019-09-14, version 4.0*

it would be nice to edit the exercises with their alternatives. also have the app send a notif/buzz if the timer for rest period is done so im not glued to my phone all the time.

### 4/5 — Would give 5 stars if..

*2019-08-05, version 4.0*

Like the simplicity of this app. Definitely worth checking out. One thing I would like is to customize and change some exercises/ add notes!

### 4/5 — Good stuff

*2019-07-09, version 3.0*

Great app.  Could use things like, a way to delete a set just in case you input reps on an exercise you didn’t do, custom weight rather than increments of 5, auto weight adjustment if hitting max sets and reps.

### 5/5 — Perfect Workout App

*2025-05-08, version 12.4*

This really couldn’t get any better. Free version has been great, and there’s more features in the paid version if you want them. I’d say the paid version is worth it and not expensive but it doesn’t feel like the app is worthless if you don’t pay. Still great for tracking your workouts even without paying!

### 5/5 — I don't usually review apps but

*2022-08-22, version 12.4*

This app is incredible! No bloatware, no ads (so far) and i've never considered subscribing to premium for anything til now. I hope they keep up the great work with this app and keep it how it is now because it is great and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Great Free Tracker!

*2022-06-15, version 12.3*

Awesome workout tracker and guide. It’s keeping me on track and gives great guidance. I’ll likely buy the full version for notes and such.

### 5/5 — Self Control

*2021-06-23, version 11.0*

I’ve back my weight to a comfortable amount. I figured out how to manipulate the program. No more than two days back to back. Even a day between all workouts with no more two days rest or three in a pinch after any two days for maintenance and slow progression. 

I think that this just might work. 

I’m 57 and plan to keep going for a long time.

### 5/5 — Organized

*2020-11-20, version 11.0*

Very easy organized way to track workouts

### 5/5 — Great all around

*2020-07-24, version 10.0*

I had one issue with the app as I deleted a work out I did not do to practice using the app it would not open again until I redownloaded. Outside of that no ads yet, perfect set up, easy to use and adjust, and not crazy prices for premium but adds additional benefits for sure. Please keep it up great app all around.

### 5/5 — Great workout tracker!

*2020-06-25, version 9.0*

This is a really good app. Clean interface, easy to follow history, gives me exactly what I need to make sure I’m getting stronger. I had hit a bug with my iPad and editing the history, and Jake got back to me really quickly and has the issue fixed in a week. Definitely a 5-star app

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2020-02-27, version 8.0*

The best PHUL app and the one support question I had was responded to amazingly fast.

### 5/5 — Easy tracker

*2020-01-03, version 6.0*

Great app! I have tried many others, and this one seems superior. I like the total tracking, the trending, etc. easy to use.

### 5/5 — The standard

*2019-11-27, version 5.1.3*

This is the app by which all other apps should be judged. Clean, attractive, and intuitive interface that is so quick and easy to use. No clunky drop down menus, never two taps when there can be one. The app design makes me want to workout - and that’s really the point.
