I love the app

I been using this app for a while now and I am loving it no more guessing the weight.

It’s tuff

It’s so Tuff

Pretty Good With One Flaw

I’ve been using this calculator for a while and while it does the job, the inability to change the color or the plates bugs me. For the plates that are colored yellow, it’s hard to see the number on the plate. They should change the font color on the plate markings to black instead of white so that the numbers are visible. White on yellow just isn’t very visible.

Excellent

Does what is advertised. It’s great for thinking less at the gym, especially if you listen to podcasts or audiobooks like I do and my brain is already occupied thinking about important things — not how much weight I need to put on the bar.

Not helpful if you are looking for free option.

Just use chatGPT instead.

I wanted something that would help me keep up with what weight is on the bar.
Everything you tap on is “upgrade to premium”.

Must for serious lifter

Has helped me stay focused on gains. I use this app almost every workout, I start by using it for my warm-ups and then for my lifts. I bought the premium upgrade which is really nice for converting to KG and seeing percentages of my working weight for warmups. I wish it had a dark mode, but it does what it is supposed to well.

Be honest….

If every option is going to be an upgrade just be honest about it. I got this thinking that I could use it to calculate the plates I needed. Everything was a premium upgrade. Obviously they just care about the money. Keep moving on….

Good not great

Great for the free version but gotta say I had hoped paid would have more features.

My life before rack math, my life after rack math

I recommend this app to all of my lifting buddies. It’s so simple, so clean, make my lifting life better.

Thank you to the dev for a great product, at a very reasonable price

Easy

Love how you can enter in the weights you have and the app uses those to provide you with the easiest way to load the bar for that number. Less mental work while lifting when tired.

Excellent App

This is a great product. It does everything you’d want it to. The feature that allows you to tell the app which weight plates you have is particularly helpful—that way it only suggests combinations you can actually put together what what’s on hand.

Easy to use

When I’m in the gym, it’s hard to think about the math. This app is so easy to use I can stay focused on my lifts.

Pink Tax

So if you’re a woman you have to pay for the app so you can use the calculator with a 35lbs bar. That seems flawed.

Great (one suggestion)

Most importantly, this is an amazing app. The ability to calculate 5/3/1 percentages (using 90% of your 1RM for your training max) is very useful. One suggestion for a streamlined experience, as someone who calculates many weights at a time, instead of having a pop up that tells you how much weight has been rounded off (that you have to click away), implement that weight into the screen somewhere.

Simple and clean

Exactly what i was looking for! Love being able to enter multiple bars. Dark mode would be nice but whatever! Good job!

Incessant requests for reviews

In spite of the fact that I have in app review requests disabled, the app continues to request reviews very frequently to the point where it is unpleasant to use.

Another problem is when your weights inventory can’t be used to give a desired weight. In that case, the app simply rounds down?! I would far rather have it show an empty bar and say that desired sight is not available.

Useful

The rep range tool is really useful and worth the low cost for the app.

Simple and works

Has the features I need and is easy to use. One suggestion is to add a prep warning signal near the end of the rest session so you’re reminded to get ready before the work session starts.

Love it!

I wish I knew about this app sooner! The app works very well and is a huge time saver. I want to focus on lifting during my workout, not math. The premium version is well worth it. I have several different bars that I use and the premium version lets me easily add them to my inventory and select them for loading. Easy and intuitive to navigate. Highly recommend!

Great app!

Gym math is hard mid-workout. This app takes all the thinking out of it.

The only request I have is to have a blended inventory setting to have both kg and lbs in plates due to what’s available in a gym sometimes. Like I want to calculate 150lbs using both metric and imperial plates I have available.
