Excellent

Exactly what I was looking. UI is perfect and free of any clutter. I cant imagine you will find a better free app to serve this purpose. I especially like the history so I can have all my weight configurations setup ahead of time and close them out as I complete each set. Something I would like to see is possibly saving the weight configurations to a specific workout/profile so I can pull them up later. Thanks!

Dope App

This app will allow you to get in a get on with your workout. No more having to calculate and waste time. I also use the app alongside the StrongLifts 5X5 app.

Currently best free plates app

Intuitive, clutter free design. Easy to use. Shows weight calculation history.

I would like to see number of each plate in my inventory for those with odd plate selections and fractional plates like 1 lbs.

I would pay for this app and suggest an in-app purchase model so one can try before buying.
