Good up until the fees
Solid app for tracking workouts. However, it lost its place when it put the entire functionality of the app behind a paywall. Sure, paywall certain features, but putting the entire app behind a $12/month pay wall is out of hand and greedy. Sometimes people want to improve their health and fitness but don’t necessarily have the financial means available to do so regularly. The paywall adds another hindrance to people achieving their goals

Not Free
Deceptive. Free download. Makes you fill out a questionnaire to build your plan, then hits you with a pay wall.
Dishonest developer
Paid $10 for features that were promised for lifetime of the app. Developer has now changed their minds and I’ve lost access to what a paid for. Stay away from this app.
Good ggood
Good.
terrible direction
i’ve used stronglifts for 2 years and it’s been great. unfortunately, pro has become more expensive, the lifetime option has been removed, and people are being blocked behind a paywall. i’ve exported my data and recommend others do the same
Subscription fee is ridiculous
This was the best free app until they made it required to pay to use it.
Great app
Great app
Fan for years - no longer
Forcing a paid only model without notice and losing all historic data is really poor. End of the line.
“Lifetime Membership” Apparently not 👎
Much like the other recent 1 star reviews left recently… Paid for a ‘lifetime membership’ back in 2018. Went to the gym today to find I can’t access my workouts and have to ‘upgrade’ to a paid monthly subscription. This came without any warning. What an absolute joke. After reading the reviews to see what happened, I just deleted all my data. Time to vibecode my own version!

Was great until Mehdi stole from everyone
I loved this app. It was one of the few apps I paid to support. I bought the “lifetime” power pack just to show support for what Mehdi was doing. Then last year he took my money and ran to a full subscription model. Instead of coming up with novel features to generate revenue he just said he didn’t care about past supporters and walked with our money. You can’t use any features unless you buy a monthly subscription now. Classic bait and switch. I’m moving to a more ethical lifting app.

Used to be good
This used to be a decent app, tracked things well and you could use it. Then they started asking for money and the subscription isn’t worth it - promise of new things, they don’t come. You have to pay for features you aren’t going to use. On top of that - the amount you need to pay doesn’t come close to having the “value” they think it does. Too bad - I really enjoyed it and used to recommend it to people. Now it’s just a money grab.

Glorified Spreadsheet
Used this app for years as a free member now I am completely locked out. How is a glorified spreadsheet justify a subscription fee? Deleting immediately.
Still the best app
A few weeks ago I got back into serious routine of strength training. I’m 9 weeks in, this app is amazing and gets me back in shape the quickest. I’m so excited I got the lifetime membership.
Absolutely no free plan anymore
Free to download, never free to use, they used to have a free tier, now it is gone and I’m locked out of my years of data, thanks for nothing. Good thing there are plenty of other free apps out there.
Great but could be better
I’ve been using this app for years and love it. I am not aware of any way to make suggestions to features of the app which I think would be wonderful. For example I would suggest the option to mark multiple workouts as “super sets”. I would also appreciate the ability to mark single leg/arm sets as left and right leg/arm. Other than that I’ve had no issues with the app.

Long time user - love it.
Keeps getting better.
App is subscription-only now
App used to be perfect with the free features alone. Now you can't even access the base workout without paying. Way to screw it up. Deleted app already.
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.
