Update made it worse

New UI is confusing and unnecessary. App was perfectly fine before. When you complete a lift now it automatically takes you to the warmups screen. I don’t necessarily want to warmup before each new lift.

Ruined a Perfect UI

I’ve been recommending this app to everyone because it was so simple and intuitive to use. 1 tap on the watch for every interaction and it even showed you how to stack the weights. Now I need to close a full screen notification, which skips the next set if I click on any of its options, then click an x to get to the next set. And don’t click the other button or you will reset your set. And the weight stacking view is gone.

Great app

Great app; love the flexibility and customization.

Good but bad policy

I’m tired of being nudged every workout to rate the app so here is the review. It’s a good app. Easy to use. Simple but effective program. I bought the app as a one time purchase for lifetime. Now I’m forced to pay and customer support just says a subscription is now required. Poor image. I consider the brand untrustworthy now.

Please Fix Apple Watch App

The new UI is cool but it doesn’t stay open on the timer and doesn’t track my workout to apple health after the update. Also, do you have to x out of the timer to log the next set? Kinda different.

On the latest iOS and watchOS 27. Please help!

Otherwise perfect app I’ve been using for years. Yearly has been worth it for me I’m getting bigger!!!
