Love the app
Don’t like how I have to change the weight I’m lifting

Formerly great, now just OK
I’ve used StrengthLog for years and loved it. It offers a tremendous amount of utility and no ads even on the free version. That’s huge. But I think they’ve fallen victim to the trap of “changing things for the sake of changing things” to the point where I’m considering switching apps.
It irks me a bit there’s no opt out from the “strength levels” thing. Sure, I can ignore it (and do), but as I usually work out with dumbbells, my lone deload week barbell bench is forever stuck as my “max”. I don’t care what other people are doing, and pulling data based on the assumption that the fixed exercises in that modal are indicative of one’s “max” is just poor methodology. I guess it’s the way of the world now, but some of us don’t like the social/gamification stuff thrown into everything. Before the most recent update, I could see all my upcoming sessions on the home screen. Now I either have to click into the calendar one-by-one or go several menus deep. It’s just bad design. Worst of all, building programs is now limited to a calendar week. Do you run a 10-day programming cycle? Before, it was no problem. Now? Too bad.
I realize you need things to keep your developers busy but sometimes the best action is no action.

New app layout is awful
I used to be able to easily plan a workout. That option is no longer available. I could also re-use old workouts. That also is a muddled mess now. Thanks for ruining a good app
