Solid app
I like the streamlined design and focus on pragmatism. Its an awesome app and well done.
Some notes on tiny things that I think would make the user experience smoother are:
- being able to more easily and quickly access my routine’s workouts (PPL, upper lower, bro split, etc) when pressing start workout button. Having my workout splits shown on the start workout screen to select from would be helpful. Also I dont think its necessary to select the workout then select “use” again to start the workout, it adds an additional step thats not needed. When i select the workout from the templates it should just start the workout. You have a feature already within the workout screen that lets you make adjustments on the fly.
- having the rest timer float on the screen when scrolling vs fixed at the top.
- A quality of life feature that I would appreciate is having the apple watch app vibrate when the rest timer finishes.
These are just nit-picky observations from using the app a little bit. I plan to keep trying it out!
Keep up the strong work!

Awesome tracker app
I love the look and design of the app, it’s simple yet elegant. Easy to use, works offline, and provides a lot of valuable information. Excellent work.
Response from developer
Thank you!
Exceptional Quality, Service and Execution.
I wanted an app that would do what Jefit does but without adverts, paywalls and gubbins that aren’t required.
On downloading the app and setting it up, I noticed one issue which was a synchronisation issue with the Apple Watch and the exercise templates. Upon finding this I thought I would email the Developer just to let them know of the issue.
Within 5 minutes I received a response from them acknowledging the issue, and with some troubleshooting and letting them know it still wasn’t working, later that day I received an email saying the update should rectify this and will be updated next week! (Was to be sooner but Apple were having maintenance issues).
I cannot fathom the commitment that the developer is putting into this app and to contrast against Jefit for such a fair price tag as well… it’s a no brainer.
It takes a little figuring out, but once all inputs have been completed and settings adjusted, this is a very dependable workout companion.
New users or users new to weight lifting or exercising solo will find one struggle and that is not knowing how to perform said exercises on the app as it doesn’t show you how to perform exercises (unlike Jefit) that being said, a free workout library app on the App Store can compliment this.
That could be one potential thing to add in the future, the ability to have the app describe in text or to explain/show how to perform exercises. But I won’t take points away from the developer for this, as everything else it provides negates this.
Thank you for a fantastic app experience and customer service experience.

Rest Timer
Literally perfect app but can you guys fix it so when we do a workout when we tick a set the rest timer starts automatically with that it’d be perfect. It’s abit annoying having to go manually reset the timer
Response from developer
Hi, thanks for the review. You can turn on ”Auto-Start rest timer on set done” from the workout preference settings!
Honestly Great
I wrote a review about this app earlier, and I’d like to apologize. I rudely complained that they didn’t have enough features that I’d like and I have to say that after using it for more time I’ve realized that the lack of those features is exactly what makes it so special. It’s so simple, easy to use, and nice to look at. I’ve used many fitness trackers in the past and I can say with utmost confidence that this one is my favorite, and well worth the $.99 charge. I use it for every single one of my lifts, and I truly enjoy using it. While the features I mentioned would be nice, I apologize for my earlier comments for they were incorrect, and thank you for building such a great tool. Strongly recommend.

Response from developer
Thank you, this really means a lot to me. There’s absolutely no need to apologize. I appreciate all feedback, and your suggestion actually led me to add Reps in Reserve to the app. Thanks again for giving Styrka another chance and for supporting a solo developer.
