User reviews

Poorly coded

It’s a great app. Simple and keeps track of what ya need without all the bells and whistles. But it hangs often. Sometimes after entering what the workout is, ya need to kill the app and start it again because it just freezes. Sometimes very slow to show the text or numbers you enter. If you edit a number you previously had in, you need to select the whole thing, and enter completely new numbers, because trying to add to it won’t work. BUT sometimes it works fine and quick. It’s on and off. Overall good app. Just wish it weren’t so buggy.

Where’s the timer?

App desperately needs a timer. It’s pretty good otherwise. Another potential improvement would be allowing to add another set at same weight and reps as previous without having to type out the weight and reps again.

So close to perfect

This app truly nails the simplicity for tracking my gym performance.

There are only a few things stopping me from fully committing to it:

Exercises and Progress tabs coming soon. These two features - I assume - will allow me to view my workout history on each individual exercise. Tracking my workouts through this app is a breeze, but it’s not very helpful if I can’t view my history of performance for each exercise. If this comes, automatic 5 star.

No presets or programming. It would be a good time saver to be able to load up my same group of 5 workouts that I do every Tuesday for example. From there, I can just edit the weight and reps for that exact gym session.

Right now, this app is just really good for writing down my performance in the gym, and going back and seeing exactly what I wrote down exercise by exercise - one by one. It’s well designed, but not much more than a compressed notepad as is.

I’m just wondering when “coming soon” is! I have high hopes!

I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time!

This is the first genuinely easy, simple workout log I’ve seen for iOS: it has a clean layout, everything’s easy to find and adding exercises is simple. And it’s free!

This is really good.
