Don’t waste your money
I purchased a lifetime membership for Strong, and I genuinely regret it.
Since purchasing, I've become increasingly disappointed with the app's lack of functionality and innovation. Compared to competitors like Hevy, Strong feels years behind.
There's no import functionality, no AI or ChatGPT integration, and no intelligent recommendations on when to increase weights or progressively overload. Ultimately, it feels like a glorified note-taking app rather than a modern strength-training platform.
I've contacted the developers directly, but their support has been incredibly disappointing. There are constant promises of improvements coming in the future, yet very little meaningful progress. Meanwhile, competitors continue to innovate and release new features.
I requested a refund for my lifetime membership, which was refused. I now feel stuck with a product that isn't keeping pace with the industry.
We're living in an era where technology, particularly AI, is advancing rapidly. Strong seems to be standing still.
I genuinely struggle to understand how this app maintains such a high rating. In its current state, I simply cannot recommend it, especially when better alternatives exist.
One star. I wish I could get my money back.

App Makes the Gym Notebook Extinct
App is awesome for tracking workouts, and has features I haven't even tapped into yet. This app replaces the notebook, and will save time in the gym. Gym notebook and music all in one.
The rare free app that hasn’t gotten worse over time
This app did exactly what I’m personally looking for as someone that exercises casually but also wants to improve in the long term.
In my experience, most free apps gradually get worse and more aggressively demand cash over time. This app has followed the opposite trajectory. Good show by the devs.

Huge Potential, Huge Shortcomings
I’m trying to be consistent at gym, and a large part of this process is keeping track of my journey. I’ve found it to be incredibly helpful to have a plan laid out, and this app has certainly made it intuitive to do so.
My biggest gripe is just that as well. Often, the apple watch sync removes sets, and even entirely fails to track my workouts after completion; I can’t see them in history. It’s incredibly frustrating. It’s encouraging to see the numbers and history rack up automatically, but having to manually plug them in again is irritating.
I’m also annoyed at the paywall, which removes the most basic features such as graphs.
One more thing, I’d hope to see a way to add notes to custom workout exercises. In other words, I can add custom instructions.
All in all, it could be perfect, but it’s just not there.

Best Exercise app!
I have tried and use many many workout apps. This by far is the best one I have used yet. So good I paid the $29 for the yearly with hesitation after using the free one for a free days.
Highly recommended!!
