### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2026-07-29, version 5.2.9*

I like the app, it’s easy to log. I think the ranking system should be improved. Your rank should be a you vs you system. Also, when I started your lifts were compared to animals and that was pretty cool, for months though it’s been wrecking balls, fire trucks and other things like that. That’s gotten boring.

### 3/5 — Issues remain

*2026-07-27, version 5.2.9*

Enjoy the app however constantly glitches on me. Setting won’t be saved and the app will crash mid workout and I will lose all the data I inputted. Frustrating because I expected more for this price.

### 2/5 — but confused?

*2026-07-22, version 5.2.9*

downloaded the app as i will be leaving for the military soon and would like to start training more productively, i clicked on the 7 day free trial and decided to go for it, only now i cant get into the app - it keeps taking me to the 7 day free trial page, and there is no button to let me in. please fix this.

### 1/5 — Can’t access app

*2026-07-02, version 5.2.9*

Was hoping to try this but it keeps looping from signing you up and subscribing and just won’t let you continue to use the app. Going back just keeps you in the same loop. Development UX issue.

### 2/5 — Bro

*2026-07-01, version 5.2.9*

App doesnt load half the time

### 2/5 — Few bugs but love the app

*2026-06-30, version 5.2.9*

There are a few bugs to be worked out but overall I love it. It is just not working well at all right now.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2026-06-29, version 5.2.9*

I downloaded it paid took my money and then the app just keeps going back to pay page and it won’t let me do anything unless I keep trying to repay. I cannot get the it to work very disappointing

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-06-28, version 5.2.9*

Downloaded it and signed up for the free trial. Unfortunately the app won’t advance past that page. Will not allow you to do anything on the app!

### 1/5 — Sketchy

*2026-06-24, version 5.2.8*

The app told me when I downloaded that it would send me a notification when my free trial was about to end, before they charged me for a subscription. They did not notify me first and also charged me before my free trial was supposed to end.

### 1/5 — How do I get through the pay wall

*2026-06-21, version 5.2.6*

I DONT WANT PRO LET ME JUST PASS THE PAY WALL

### 3/5 — Good app but could be better

*2026-06-20, version 5.2.6*

The app is really good and I like the way it volume and shows what you have lifted and the awards but it appears to be missing tempo and also it’s exercise database appears to be missing quite a few exercises

### 3/5 — Great app, still buggy

*2026-06-18, version 5.2.6*

Overall, I’ve been really enjoying this app as a way to design and track my workouts. I like that it’s focused only on weight lifting. However, the AI-coach feature is still incredibly buggy. I tried using it to design the 6-week routine with 5x workouts a week, and I think if you happen to skip a day, it starts acting weird. It had me doing the routine on a Tues->Tues cycle instead of Mon->Mon, which was confusing. Also it gives you a deload week but then it essentially resets all your progress and you lose strength points for it. At one point I tried to reset the whole thing and even when it said “pull day” with back and biceps exercises listed, when I clicked to start, it still had the old leg day exercises. The coach feature is a great idea but needs a lot of work.

### 1/5 — A “Free Trial” loophole?

*2026-08-07, version 5.2.9*

I wanted to get started with this app and see if it was better than LiftOff

Turns out I can’t even get past the signup process.

Everytime I try to sign up, which forces me to select a free trial, it just takes me back to the free trial. I can’t even progress further.

I think I will just stick with LiftOff. What a headache.

### 1/5 — Do not get this app why do I need a freaking subscription? to work out

*2026-08-02, version 5.2.9*

Nooooooo
Nooooooo
Nooooooo

### 1/5 — Wouldn’t bother

*2026-07-25, version 5.2.9*

Didn’t let me past the subscription screen even after I signed up for the trial. Won’t even entertain using this again.

### 1/5 — Bait and Switch

*2026-07-23, version 5.2.9*

The app says it’s free with in app payments, but you can’t even use it without providing payment info. What a scam.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2026-07-22, version 5.2.9*

Even after canceling my subscription they still charged me don’t get this app

### 1/5 — Payment

*2026-07-18, version 5.2.9*

It should say in the very beginning or even in the app overview that there are no free options at all. You cannot go ahead unless you commit to the 1 week free trial as it requires you to submit a subscription plan of 39.99 per year with no free option with reduced options of the app or anything.

### 1/5 — DO NOT GET

*2026-07-17, version 5.2.9*

Absolutely fuming paid for a subscription for it to not work and keeps trying to make me pay again wasted money on this app !!!!!if I could give 0 I would

### 1/5 — Cash grab

*2026-07-15*

Another “try for free, but give us your data now” app. Garbage

### 1/5 — Cant use app

*2026-07-15, version 5.2.9*

Once you’ve signed up for free trial it doesn’t advance, it keeps looping back. I can’t actually use the app

### 1/5 — Sign up failure

*2026-07-11, version 5.2.9*

Bought the subscription for the free trial and wouldn’t get me into the app

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-08-14, version 5.2.9*

Been using this app all year and it’s great! On pro and fully recommend. Only thing I’d ask for is could the rest timer have a sound when it’s time up? And be a notification?

### 5/5 — Very solid

*2026-08-08, version 5.2.9*

I’ve had this app for a solid month or so. Stronger is very good at what it does, it doesn’t try do a lot of things at once, instead it only does a few things although does them very well like viewing progress, planning your workouts and entire routine as a whole. 

One slight downside in my opinion is if your select your a beginner/rookie lifter it does take a while to set up everything and get going, but that’s not the apps fault necessarily, just a meaningful approach to get things going. 

I’ve noticed a lot more progress due to actually logging everything within the app and following strict progressive overload and not just guessing in my head. 

Truly recommend the app if your going from a beginner to intermediate lifter.

### 5/5 — Perfect for my workout

*2026-07-28, version 5.2.9*

Easy to use and encourages me to try my best.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-07-19, version 5.2.9*

I love stronger! It helped me get back into the gym and keep track of my progress. Highly recommend this app.

### 5/5 — It’s amazing

*2026-07-16, version 5.2.9*

It’s the best

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-16, version 5.2.9*

Great app, easy to use and track your lifts and it’s free!

### 5/5 — love the app

*2026-07-15, version 5.2.9*

I love the app but want a few more features regarding rest timers. for example instead of an emoji of sumn doing a workout on the dynamic island  it should show the rest timer. we should also have the option to make the rest timer ring when it ends or send a notification so we know when it ends even if we aren’t on the app.

### 5/5 — Very Helpful and Easy to Use

*2026-07-04, version 5.2.9*

Amazing app that will pull you and help you on your PR. I love it. Highly recommended

### 5/5 — This is why I did a five star

*2026-06-15, version 5.2.6*

Help me work out

### 5/5 — Best app I’ve seen.

*2026-06-12, version 5.2.5*

Pretty good subscription price. Only $40 a year. And for all Stronger includes, it’s worth the price.
