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!

Great app, offensive price

I’ve been using this app for years. I really like it, it’s the only one 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.

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

Response from developer

Thank you for the great review! Glad you're loving all the program options 🙌🏻 We appreciate the note on load times. This can at times be related to your connection. For any questions or concerns please reach us at app.support@rpstrength.com!

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.

Very Cool

Great app. Easy to use. Love the constant Template updates.

Rest timer

Latest update notes state: Checking "don't show me again" on the warm-up and rest timer tips now hides them immediately, instead of after your next set.

But there is no rest timer even though there should be.

No offline mode - still lacks features

What's the purpose of an dedicated app if you can not use it offline? Plus response times of the app is awful. There are tons of gyms in Europe where u don't have cell reception and the WiFi isn't working reliably.
And there is still no way to change the order of training days within the meso although I asked for it a few times over the years...

Brilliant

"Love this app, it's taken all the thinking away. It's constantly adjusting the weights, sets, and reps to get you the best results. Just follow it, be honest with yourself when it asks questions, and don't second-guess it. Turn up, do the work, and let your own personal coach in your pocket handle the rest."

Thank you for your 5-star review!! 🙏🏻

Why no Abduction/Adduction muscle group??

Makes zero sense considering this is supposedly a hypertrophic app. Everything else is top notch

Love it

After lifting for 10 years this really help push myself even further

It’s pretty generic/bad

I really wanted to like it. I love mikes content. This app is dog meat… plans are horrendous… videos aren’t anything different or better than you could get off YouTube for free.

A+

It’s as if the developers of this app read my mind. It’s exactly what I wanted and executed so perfectly. Knowing Dr. Mike is behind the programming is immensely important to me.

No Free Trial, No Purchase

A free trial is a fair way for customers to evaluate any program or service. This company doesn’t offer a free trial but an immediate purchase. Some customers like myself do not know you. Why should I purchase your service right way? I have to see what you offer and evaluate whether it fits my needs or not. That’s evaluate is something no customer should pay for. I won’t be using your app since there are so many other freemium options to evaluate.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review and feedback. The app does require a subscription in order to use but if you reach out to our team at app.support@rpstrength.com you can see what offers we currently have to give the app a try!

Love this app.

Great app for people with a full time job that don’t want to think and get the results of a good periodization program. Good variety of exercises to choose from.

Almost There

The app is mostly great, but a few things really hold it back. First I should be able to change from KG to ibs for each workout. My plates are metric, my machines are ibs. Currently I have to play plate math every time. Next there isn't an easy way to change custom excersises after you create them. I want to be able to edit whenever I want.
