What's New in Starting Strength Official

1.1.7

October 10, 2026

What's new in 1.1.7 - Chin-ups done the book's way. Sets to failure, with a total-reps target to beat next time. - Fewer form-check prompts. You'll see it after your first missed set, then only every third one. You can also turn it off with "Don't show this again" or in Settings. - Changing a weight mid-workout no longer clears your warm-up sets. - Switching between lb and kg now converts your bar, plates and weight steps. Your own plates come back when you switch back. - Progress shows your true best lifts, and the chart keeps every normal weight jump. - Fixing a set's reps in the Log now clears its "missed" mark. - Free Log: bodyweight exercises such as dips and push-ups can start at 0. - AI Coach: clearer replies, and it converts units properly when you ask it to switch. - Plus smaller fixes and speed improvements. Thanks for training with us. If the app helps, a quick review means a lot.

User reviews

Just what I was looking for

I really like the simplicity and straightforward layout of this app.

Response from developer

Thank you! Simplicity was the goal, so I'm glad the layout works for you. If you ever need help with anything, reach out anytime at customersupport@strength.club. Keep adding weight to the bar!

Cannot cancel Pro subscription

My husband has the Starting Strength app for android, and he had option to try Pro features for a week. Somehow my app got the Pro version enabled and I cannot manage the subscription from within the app.

Response from developer

I'm sorry for the hassle, and it's frustrating when you can't find where to cancel. Subscriptions aren't managed inside the app. Google Play controls them, and the trial is tied to the account that started it, which may be why Pro showed up on your device too. To check, open Google Play, tap your profile icon, then go to Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions > Starting Strength. If it's under your husband's Google account, you'll need to be signed into that one to cancel. Please email customersupport@strength.club with your device model and the Google account email involved, and we'll sort it out with you. We reply within 24 hours, usually faster.

Great app

Read Rips book many years ago and have done the program on and off over the years, used the old app and now the newer version. It has been tremendously helpful in helping me attain my goals
Many thanks

Response from developer

Thank you so much — coming back to the program over the years and making it work is exactly what it's designed for. Really glad the app has been part of that journey. Keep adding weight to the bar!

Great app to start or get back into weightlifting

This app is a great meat and potatoes app to get into weightlifting. The free version (which I currently use) offers at least three to six months of starting workouts, form tips, and more. I’ve loved it for the past two months. Planning on upgrading to paid once I plateau with the beginning program.

Response from developer

Two months in and already thinking ahead to the next phase — that's exactly the right mindset. The free version gets you through the novice linear progression, and when you do hit that first plateau, the paid plan unlocks stall detection, deload guidance, and the Advanced Novice program to keep the bar moving. Glad it's working for you!

Downgrade from V1

V1 stopped working. So I down loaded this one. Bad interface, and they charge you to break down the plates. The old version worked fine for those of us that like simple. Now I have to pay a fee just to have the app do math for me on which plates go on the bar which is silly money grab. Too bad.

Response from developer

We're sorry V1 gave you trouble — that was a server issue on our end and it should be working again now. Your frustration about plate math being behind a paywall is genuinely fair feedback, and it's the kind of thing we take seriously. The free tier does cover logging and history; we put plate math in Pro because it's tied to the full programming engine, but we hear you that it feels like paying for a calculator. On the interface — V2 is a big departure from V1's simplicity, and not everyone prefers it. We'd love a chance to help you get settled. Reach out at customersupport@strength.club and we'll do what we can.
