Can’t use it anymore
I used this app for +5 years. I tried recently and I couldn’t login without paying for a subscription. I started the trial but all my progress and history is lost so I decided to delete it and use another one.
USED to be good, paywalled everything
I’ve been using this app since 2016. It used to be completely free and was very simple but worked well. Over the years they have added some features like being able to modify your workouts away from 5x5.
When they introduced the premium version, I was given what they called “lifetime power pack” which gave me the ability to still access the normal features of the app like warm-up sets and being able to change sets/rep ranges.
As of June 2026, they have paywalled almost the entire app at a price of $80 a year!!! Insane price if you ask me for an app that simply tracks your workouts.
You can no longer manipulate workouts for free or use the warm-up set feature, nor even see the plates to put on each side of your bar.
I will be moving on to one of the many free options available. Sad to see for an app I used to love.

Frustratingly inconsistent and buggy on Apple Watch
Great features and functionality but super inconsistent and buggy on the Apple Watch.
Unable to restore previous purchase
Subscription popups give early 2000’s internet vibes. If your product isn’t worth paying for, move on, don’t scam people.
Removed 'lifetime' features
As an early supporter of the app, I paid for 'lifetime' pro membership on both Android and iOS. These features have since been locked behind a subscription with no explanation. Poor business ethics. I would rather subscribe to Strong or Hevy than support this app and developer after this.
Aggressive subscription enrolment
Been using this workout/app since 2016. Excellent workout, so much so I bought a lifetime pass/subscription (no longer offered). Lately the app will either bring up a subscription enrolment screen every time the app is opened, or block you from going to your workout with out purchasing a subscription. I have to enroll so I can do the workout, then request a refund explaining I already have the lifetime pass.

Essential Workout App
My go to for weight training from start to plateau to the next levels. I always progress in my training so much more fluidly when I’m just following the program. Love the changeability of it too.
Greedy and lame
I used to use this app all the time. I decided I wanted to get back i to fitness. It’s a shame they want to charge you money and track you to use the app now. At least the program itself is free online and very comprehensive. I recommend doing that instead of spending money on this.
The best
So good, such an easy on the eyes interface. And now I can modify my workouts, add exercises, quick instruction videos all WITHOUT feeling like I’m staring at the phone during the workouts. That’s the winner right there!
Stole $10 from me
I bought a lifetime membership years ago. I tried logging in the other day, and now I’m completely paywalled. No option to use the app at all unless I pay for a subscription.
Paid feature removed and not honored
I purchased the Power Pack as a one-time purchase with the understanding that its features were mine to keep. StrongLifts has now deliberately ended support for it and placed those same features behind a recurring subscription. Restore Purchases does nothing—not because of a technical problem, but because the company has decided to stop honoring the purchase.
It doesn’t matter how long ago I bought it or how little it originally cost. A one-time purchase should not expire simply because the developer wants customers to start paying annually. Taking away previously purchased functionality destroys trust, and I won’t pay again for features I already bought.

Change after buying
I purchased this program when it was $5 and it was starting out. I took a break for several years and decided to start back. The restore button does not work and wants me to pay for what I already paid for. It’s just a calculator. Don’t buy.
Scammer
Sold lifetime purchases then switched to subscription to even access the data I had since 2014.
Progress lost
Used to use this app in conjunction with another. Had my data on here. Now I’m forced to subscribe and pay which I will not be doing
Paid for app wasted
Great app in the beginning, paid for it to support the creator and then it went subscription based and immediately kicked out. Looking for alternatives
PowerPack not honored
Purchased the PowerPack for a LIFETIME membership - the developer has a different interpretation of what lifetime entails.
Lifetime is no longer lifetime
Pretty poor business practice to change what a lifetime subscription means. Deleted.
Spot on!
Fantastic lay-out and structure. Takes the guessing out of what to do, when to do it and how much you get done. Perfect? Of course not..what is? For structured, sensible workouts though, this is about as close as I’ve seen. Been using for 11months. For me, worth every.single.penny.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Rug pull
Used this app for years, now they won’t let me into my account without paying a subscription
Awesome training App
I ve used this App for over 11 years. Although I have tried other training Apps, I always seem to come back to this one. Great core exercises, and now with the extras I can add additional exercises to my routines. Love it. 👍🏻
