THE best
For me this is the best fitness and training app on the market. Coupled with MacroFactor, it’s unbeatable in combination.
Amazing Work
I want to genuinely thank the creators of this app. I have been lifting consistently for 10 years, had a personal coach for 3 of them, and nothing has pushed me like the built-in progressive overload this app suggests. I see my expected weight and reps for some exercises and often find myself doubtful of my capabilities, but I believe that if the algorithms say I can do it, I probably can. I’m genuinely impressed with what my body is doing and how it’s changing, and I have RP to thank for that. Keep up the great work!

Helpful but not perfect.
This app works well to keep track of your workouts, but is not as flexible as it could be. it would be great if you can drag and drop days rather than using “replaced“ and have to search for each exercise to repost it and then find the previous weight to login.
Based on the price, this app should have a lot more functionality, flexibility, and a brain that is one step of ahead of you, after all, we’ve got AI now!
I’m not sure if I’ll keep it, been using it for a couple months. It’s easy to cancel so you can always try it and decide for yourself.
Although seemingly antiquated, I could do the same thing with index cards. And it doesn’t cost $30 a month.
Come on Dr Mike you can do better than this!

Relatively simple to use but need an iPad native version
It is a much simpler app than I expected but I do like the videos on how to do the exercises with good form. It is only really let down by the fact that it does natively support iPads and their larger screens. If there was a single request I could make, that would be it. Additionally it would be better if it was able to download all the videos locally and not require an internet connection as the WiFi and cellular connection at my gym isn’t great.

Response from developer
Thank you for your review and feedback! The app can be used in desktop mode on iPads and function easily as a browser based app. Beyond that, the feedback has been passed along to the team for iPad native integration along with the connection feedback. Please don't hesitate to follow up with our team at app.support@rpstrength.com for additional feedback or support 🙏🏻
Amazing but always room for improvement
This app has helped me stay on track with my all of my fitness goals. It’s super user friendly and the FAQ page link in the app is actually useful for once. The structure and feature are absolute chefs kiss. I only have two recommendations for it.
1. Could definitely use more tips in the video description area. Obviously you can’t remake all the videos but a text written breakdown of things to make sure your doing and maybe common mistakes to avoid would be game changing so I don’t have to YouTube anything I have questions for about for or where I should be feeling tension.
2. More exercises I’ve found 80% of the exercises I want to do are in here. But a lot of variations or other such things like cross cable rear Delt Flys aren’t so I usually just select a similar exercise and pin a note to actually do this instead.
But what you guys are doing is amazing.
Sincerely, a fat dad getting strong again.

Good app
I like the app, it guides you through everything you have to do. One comment: when doing progressive overload with dumbbells, i wish it would not recommend say 165 lbs. where am I getting an 82.5 lb dumbbell?
Great app, could use more customization
This app is great. I love how it changes weights, reps, and number of sets based on feedback about pump, soreness, etc. The app has a feature to add custom exercises but when doing that you cannot create a custom muscle group but are required to choose one. Some of the muscle groups for smaller muscles are not included as options, and if you choose a random muscle group then that will effect the other lifts for that muscle group. Also i would like to be able to track my warmup sets. All that said I say its worth the money and Ive been loving it.

Great for hypertrophy
This app makes weight and rep targets based on workout feedback. It has lots of templates, a dynamic mesocycle creation tool, note taking, custom exercise creation, and a whole bunch more. Highly recommended!
TERRIBLY HARD TO FIGURE OUT
Theres no updated tutorials. “Customer service” is literally just email tag. Cant log specific weights, their presets take over. Only allows you to weigh certain foods certain ways, youre then left to do the conversion yourself, every time. Too many features with essentially no support or guidance on how to use any of it. It doesn’t even have the ease of use compared to free macro trackers. What is marketed as easy has become the most complicated part of my diet and exercise plan. Save your money. If youre gonna have to calculate your own macros and make all the conversions anyway, theres no point in this app. MORE STRESS THAN WHAT ITS WORTH

Incredible tracking app for very serious lifters, highly recommend
Reliable and useful
I find the videos to help identify correct form very helpful and the rep and weight auto management keeps me on track with my progressions.

Geographic Price Discrimination
The science behind the App is second-to-none but the pricing structure punishes everyone outside the US and makes a subscription untenable: E.g. USD $19.99 a month if you're in the US and more than twice the equivalent price (AUD $59.99 or USD $41.74) if you're in Australia - why show such contempt for anyone outside the US? Until the prices are relative to each market, I'll be using an integrated health app with a much, much better cost-benefit proposition and simply copying what I see here. Pretty unhappy.

Great app - constantly improving
Great app, been a RP fan for many years now. Hoping it will soon integrate with Apple
Health so I can easily pull the data into my health tracking app (I use Bevel)

Extremely unintuitive, vague, and complicated
I just want a workout. How hard is that? Why force me into all this weird “mesocycle” stuff where I can only look at one workout at a time. Dumb as h— tbh
RP Hypertrophy APP
This app is incredible and I couldn’t be happier with it. Tons of templets and you can even create your own customized template. Built in progressive overload as you move through the app, exercise videos on how they should be executed, and auto regulates as you move workout to workout. Love this app and takes all the guess workout out of the equation and allows you to go into the gym with a plan and to focus on getting your optimal sets and reps in!

Add a timer feature
Long time listener first time caller. Love the app. But have the AI overlords build you a timer feature to add into the workout section so I can time rests. Sick of having to swipe around on my phone. Because first world probs! Cheers guys.
Best programming app I've used, but it needs to watch performance
I've run 6 mesocycles of my own PPL through this app, and nothing else I've tried comes close. It ramps my sets and weights week to week, schedules deloads, and lets me push extra volume to the muscles I'm trying to bring up.
My biggest issue: even when I answer every feedback question honestly, it keeps adding sets when my weight and reps have stalled. That's how I've ended up with 10 sets of abs in one session and leg days close to 3 hours. If performance stalls, it should hold sets, not add more.
The other problem is a bug. Set checkboxes sometimes uncheck themselves after I tap them, and I've done extra sets because of it. Now I double-check every time.
It also struggles when gym signal is bad.
Fix the volume logic and the checkbox bug and it's an easy 5 stars.

Great app, offensive price
I’ve been using this app for years. I really like it, it’s the only one (besides Liftosaur) that regulates volume AND allows custom programs. Myoadapt is the only other app that regulates volume but doesn’t allow custom programs (fully your own exercises). Macrofactor Workouts and Alpha Progressions have progressive overload programming with rir but they do not regulate volume. There is just one problem with RP Hypertrophy; the price is offensive, disrespectful, and ridiculous.
Changing to Liftosaur with hypertrophy programming. Will be nice to have an Apple Watch app.

App Enhancement
Love the app and would rate it 5 stars of it had just two more features. First would be splitting sets to record progress on each side like Single arm supported Dumbbell Rows. This allows the ability to improving a weaker limb or recovery after an injury on one side. This applies to glutes too like Dumbbell Split squat. Second would be a rest timer between sets that we could set maybe as setup options or just in the workout screen where we can add in rest by 30 second increments or cancel it if we are moving right into another set or exercise. Maybe not everyone would want these but at least make them options for us if we do. Again, love the app Dr. Mike!!!
