Great app, when it works
Pluses: Good features, flexible, I’ve used it for 8 years & now use it to program my own routines
Downside is the overall bugginess and glitches. Used to be pretty solid but now I have issues with workouts being lost. Nothing more frustrating than a workout disappearing, and not remembering reps for the next session. Apple Watch integration is especially poor, again when it works it’s great but starting a workout is a frustrating experience of force quitting repeatedly until it comes up. Tech support is nonexistent- just points you to the FAQ. Looking for another paid app….

Untrustworthy
When the app was free I paid for “pro” features to support the creator. In return, the creator no longer honors those purchases and requires a subscription. No thank you.
Dishonest business practices
I’ve been using this app for over a decade. Before they switched to a monthly subscription, they sold lifetime subscriptions, which I purchased. The latest version of the app doesn’t let me restore my subscription. If you advertise something as lifetime, you can’t rewrite history. Shameful business practice here.

Lifetime Membership No Longer Honored
★☆☆☆☆
UPDATE: StrongLifts restored the features included with my original Lifetime Membership. Thank you for honoring the lifetime purchase.

Thank you for resolving the issue and, most importantly, for upholding what was promised when I purchased the Lifetime Membership. I appreciate that my original lifetime access has been honored.
I purchased the StrongLifts Lifetime Membership approximately three years ago through Google Play as a one-time purchase. After switching from Android to iPhone, my lifetime purchase transferred successfully using the same account.
Recently, I discovered that several features that were previously available to me, including Plate Count, the Warm-Up section, creating custom workout plans, and updating sets, are now locked behind a recurring subscription.
As a lifetime member, I purchased the app specifically to avoid ongoing subscription fees. Moving features that were previously included behind a paywall significantly reduces the value of what I originally paid for.
I contacted support twice to ask for clarification and to have my lifetime membership honored, but I have not received a response.
This experience has caused me to lose trust in the company. When customers pay for a lifetime membership, they expect the features included with that purchase to remain available. Removing or restricting those features years later raises serious concerns about the company’s commitment to its customers and the integrity of its lifetime offering.
I would be happy to update this review if the company responds and resolves the issue.
