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

Rp app
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.
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.
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!!!

Great app
This app has totally changed the way I work out. It is easy to use and generally sets you up for success. I’ve been using it for 10 months. My only suggestion? I work out in two different gyms: 1 at home 1 at work. They have very different equipment so often the same exercise will have me doing vastly different weights. The app struggles to account for that. I know it’s a small minority of lifters in this position, but if you could toggle between “gym 1” and “gym 2” for each work out, that would be amazing.

Not good
Too many kinks. Doesn’t let you undo sets you accidentally skip. Total waste of money, don’t do it
Please change these
As somebody who wants to structure my own plan: would be super helpful if you could make a split as many days as you’d like. I do 3 on 1 off and the app is rigid around a 6 day plan. Once you make your plan, why can’t you then change days around? My plan flipped workouts so now I have to restart and figure out why that happened. Also, when making your own plan, you should be able to copy paste workouts if most of what you do stays the same. Also week to week changes should be available in the mesocycle builder. Thanks!

Poorly responsive without great signal
This isn’t a critique of the program / format. The issue with the app is connectivity. This is essentially a web app - it cannot function without internet and doesn’t work very well if connectivity is poor. You cannot even enter data without a connection. If you’re in the corner of your gym that has poor signal, good luck using this app.

Too expensive for what it is
Just get an excel sheet or something
Love it
Love the app and all the different program options to work on different muscle groups
Only criticism is sometimes a bit slow to load

Life changing
This app makes progressive overload easy to track and maintain month over month. I have made the best gains of my life with this app.
