Don’t like how I have to change the weight I’m lifting
Formerly great, now just OK
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.

Thank you for taking the time to write us the feedback. Regarding the Strength Levels, we've chosen to base it on the apps 15 most logged exercises. However, we are aware that not all users train these exercises, bit needed to do some kind of cut since we can't base it on all exercises :) You can have the programs you follow on your home screen again, your favourite workouts under the plus sign. I don't understand why you shouldn't be able to build a 10-day programming cycle, that is absolutely possible in the app! If you need assistance with it, don't hesitate to send us an email at app@strengthlog.com. Kind regards Sandrine

Response from developer
Previously, there was no limit to how many programs and stand-alone workouts a free user could build. With the new and improved Program Builder, that limit is five. We understand that this is a downgrade for anyone who has been using the app to build a large number of programs and workout templates for free. The reason for the change is that accounts with large libraries of old programs, workout templates, and custom exercises create a disproportionate amount of complexity and support work, often for content that is no longer being used. Maintaining that indefinitely isn't sustainable for us, and we'd rather spend that time and money improving StrengthLog for everyone, including users on the free plan. What isn't changing is the core of the free app. Unlimited workout logging will remain free forever. So will planning workouts and Train Again, which in most cases removes the need to build programs and workout templates in the first place. We want StrengthLog to remain a genuinely useful free workout tracker, not an app that lets you log three workouts and then puts up a paywall. At the same time, we need to draw the line somewhere on features that create significant ongoing costs for us. For the new Program Builder, we've decided that five programs/workout templates for free is that line. All the best, Philip Wildenstam
Can’t find a better app
Latest update is bad
Plus, programs edited via web app aren’t being reflected in the mobile app.
Simply put, they made what was working worse by pushing social & gamification features to the top.
Customer support
Using this app has been outstanding. The website is being updated and developing. I made October workouts and they didn’t populate. Sanding at customer service was able to help me with the problem. Quick response and quick fix of all my workouts. Thanks again.
Great app

Timer stopped working in IO27
Best fully free platform I’ve found
Love it
Strength app
Best Lifting App Ever
Weight lifted per set and per total workout. Also runs smoothly on my Apple Watch so I don’t have to be looking at my phone to record reps and weight, easy to do on the watch. Seriously an awesome
App that is excellent even without paying for the subscription.
