### 3/5 — Useless and constantly asking for money

*2024-04-13*

The app lets you choose a weight and then populates a bar with what that weight would be. Useless if you wanted to calculate the weight of a bar infront of you unless you want to pay for “manual mode” Pathetic waste of time.

### 5/5 — For the developers

*2024-01-22, version 3.0.0*

The app is great but it could use just one more thing. A calculator for percentages would make it the best app I’ve used in the settings it would be cool if they added an option to set your max and when your calculating weight set also set the lift and the percent that you’re on it would just add that last final touch. Nice little chefs kiss. So if the developers are reading please add a option to set percentages based off of maxes

### 2/5 — Don’t bother

*2022-07-09*

Don’t seem to be able to edit out 55lb/25kg plates. Can only load in whole Kgs.

### 4/5 — Almost Perfect

*2022-06-29, version 2.0.0*

This bar loader app is easy to use and simple, exactly what I’ve been looking for. However, the one and only flaw is that the app doesn’t convert and display the weights from kg/lb on the same page. Which is a really crucial part of a bar loading app.
It’d be great to know what the weight I’m loading in kg is converted to lb and vice versa.

### 3/5 — Errors with iOS

*2022-05-10, version 2.0.0*

Errors out when I want to add plates. Otherwise a great app.

### 3/5 — Almost perfect

*2021-05-13, version 2.0.0*

All these needs is to show the conversion from kg to lbs when loading in kilos and vice versa. If it had that, this would be a 5 star app.

### 3/5 — It’s not letting me manually load plates

*2021-02-19, version 2.0.0*

Like the title says. I’m not sure why but it’s problem.

### 5/5 — Awesome but have some suggestions

*2020-09-16, version 2.0.0*

The app is awesome but could you please make it to where the plates are actually touching the barbell collars in the picture so it could load more weight on the bar

Edit: thank you guys for making the plates touch the sleeve collars so that you could load more weight.

I also have one more suggestion, could you please possibly make the plates a bit thinner or make the barbell sleeve a bit longer to load another couple plates👍 Thanks.
