Thank your for the kind review, that’s honestly a great idea, i’ll look into it *Update* The goals feature is now out! You can find it in the progress tab next to the overview. Thank you for the great idea. -Miki
Completed workout not synced across devices.
Workout history also does not synced across device.

*Update 2* Should be fixed now!
Simple, uncluttered, effective
My only gripe, and it’s a very minor one, is that the timer’s end sound and vibration only work when the app is open on screen. They don’t trigger when I have another app open or when my phone is locked. The sound also seems to only play when my phone isn’t on silent, with the timer simply vibrating when silent mode is enabled.
If these small issues could be fixed, this app would be perfect for me. Highly recommended!
Update: Wow, what a responsive developer! My minor gripe has already been fixed, and this app is now perfect for me. Thank you!

Thank you for the kind words, means a lot to me!
Not sync across device
Solid app
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
Response from developer
Thank you!
Exceptional Quality, Service and Execution.
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
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
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.
Great App

Thank you!
Perfekter Gym Tracker
Dann habe ich Styrka entdeckt. Besser geht‘s nicht!
Very Minimalitic but Lacks Key Features
Response from developer
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback! Since the app is used by people in 100+ countries, I’ve found that training styles and preferences vary a lot. Features that feel essential to some users can make the app feel overly complex for others, so I’m careful about what I add. In the meantime, you can use the notes section for each exercise to track things like RIR, sets to failure, grip, how the lift felt, or any adjustments. It’s designed for exactly that. I really appreciate the suggestion!
Feedback / Suggestions
- Scrollbar for Reps/Weight
- There should be a way to track progress over different gyms/machines with the same exercise. Best would be an option to add workout variants, that track individually
- csv data export
Response from developer
Thanks a lot for the feedback, I really appreciate you taking the time to write it. For dark mode, I’ve already made the text brighter. Most text now sits between about 75% and 100% brightness, so readability shouldn’t be an issue if you’re not using your brightness at the lowest possible where visibility is already low. About the reps and weight scrollbar, I’ve thought about it before, but with people logging anywhere from 2.5 kg to well over 200 kg, a traditional scrollbar isn’t really practical without making it frustrating for a large part of the user base. For tracking the same exercise across different gyms or machines, my recommendation is simply to create a new exercise with the same name and add the gym or machine name to it. I want to keep the app as simple as possible instead of adding lots of extra features that make it more complicated to use. CSV export is definitely something I’m working on and I plan to add it in a future update. Thanks again for the suggestions. Even if I don’t implement everything exactly as requested, I do read all the feedback and it helps me decide what to improve next.
Great App
The app is cleanly designed and does exactly what it needs to do without any extra fluff.
One thing I have noticed is that the rest timer pauses when you scroll down to view the rest of your workout which is a minor inconvenience.
Response from developer
Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! Thanks also for pointing out the rest timer issue. The timer pausing when scrolling through the workout is not intended behavior, and I can see how it becomes annoying during a workout. I’ll look into fixing this in an upcoming update.
Nice app but needs some features
In theory it does its job but for my preference it misses some features
One thing is, that you can „finish“ sets so in your workout the sets are like a list and you can tick them when finished and the rest timer starts automatically.
One thing I don’t like is that when I’m doing a workout and log a weight like 22.5kg then it shows as 22… which is quite ugly.
The last thing I have is that, in my experience at least, the exercises and the stats are translated into every workout with these exercises. So when I have the same exercises in different workouts and with different amounts of sets (for example Workout 1: 2 sets; workout 2: 4 sets), then it translates from the previous time I did the exercise in the previous workout into my workout and the exercise. So I always have to match it to my actual plan and change the amount of sets.
Overall great app, recommend
Response from developer
Hey, thanks so much for the kind words and for taking the time to write a second review, really appreciate it. You're right about the weight display cutting off decimals like 22.5, that's a bug on my end. I've already fixed it and it will be in the next update numbers will always display in full now, no matter the value. I also improved how the app handles set data when starting a workout from a template. Previously, if you did a standalone bench press session with 5 sets and then started your Push Day template the next day, bench press would show 5 pre-filled sets while everything else had 3. Now the app is smarter about this, it pulls the set data from the last time you did that same template, so everything stays consistent. If you add an exercise you've never done before, it just starts with one empty set like normal. Both fixes are coming in the next update. Thanks again for pointing these out, it helps a lot!
Bug in rest timer
Response from developer
Thank you for letting me know. I will fix it immediately! *Update* The issue is now fixed and should be released by tomorrow!
Timer would be perfect.
Update: the Timer is here
Small improvement if u could add a sound when the timer is over. I for my example use headphones and would love when I hear that the timer is over
Response from developer
Thank you for the review. I think that’s a great idea and will start working on it right away!
