The Best

I tried a dozen plate calculators and even spent money on multiple apps, and PlateCalc is easily the best. Just get it!

Best plate calculator in the store

Tried all the similar apps in the App Store and this is by far the best one. Sent developer a feature request and he implemented within a week.

Response from developer

This is the one you want

There are so many not great barbell calculators out there. This one is actually good. You want this one.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the kind words!

A barbell calculator that actually saves time

When my mind is cloudy from endorphins and all of my blood is in my muscles, this app spares me the mental math and keeps me focused on my training. Every other barbell calculator I’ve tried is janky and takes me out of the focused state I want to be in at the gym.

Response from developer

Haha that's the goal! Thanks for the review.
