### 4/5 — Please update

*2026-03-08, version 2.9.8*

Perfect app, been using for years. Please add a support email. I’d like to be able to sync my workouts to my computer. Also, the backup isn’t working properly. I’m afraid I’m going to lose years worth of training data, which would suck.

### 4/5 — Great value

*2024-08-29*

This is a nice way to track my workouts and exercises. I have it 4 out of 5 stars. The only thing I noticed missing at this point (day 1 for me) is the ability to include the weight used for exercises. I would like to track a 1) recommend (set myself) weight and 2) an actual (weight used) to both remind myself what to do / what I did and to eliminate figuring out what weight to use for that exercise. I have 1 hour in between work and picking up my kid so my workout has to be fast and effective.

### 4/5 — Simple but effective.

*2023-08-12, version 2.9.7*

Very useful and simple app to plan training sessions and create accountability to attending them. The only thing this app is missing is a simple summary of how many/what sessions you successfully attended for each respective month.

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2023-04-28, version 2.9.6*

Good app. However you cannot delete a session from a recurrent exercise without it reappearing every time you open the app. Best offer is to log in workout every simulator session even if it is recurring

### 4/5 — Why no color?

*2022-08-29, version 2.8.8*

I would give this 5 stars if we could have the option to change colors again for our workouts. Since the latest update it’s not there.

### 5/5 — Simple and motivational

*2022-03-09, version 2.7.9*

Exactly what I was looking for.

### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for!

*2022-01-27*

I was looking for a simple calendar to put my workouts in and get a visual of how many days I was working out without manually tracking the information. This is simple, easy and customizable for all of the different workouts that I do weekly. I’d REALLY love to see another app from you that would do the same for meditation, mindfulness, reading, etc.!!!

### 5/5 — Simple and Great!!

*2022-01-16*

This app is super straight forward which I love! Love the color coordination and no ads! If you’re trying to use a calendar to mark workouts and check them off as you complete them, this is the app for you. 10/10 recommend!

### 5/5 — Simply Perfect

*2022-01-02, version 2.7.8*

This is by far the best app for scheduling your training. It is simple, motivating, and easy to use. Everything I need and nothing more. Well done!

### 5/5 — Easy

*2021-12-01, version 2.7.8*

I wanted a simple visual for my work out schedule to keep me on track and motivated and this worked great. I love checking off the box at the end of my workout. Worth the $1 by far!

### 5/5 — Simple and perfect!

*2021-11-23*

This app was perfect for simple logging and just kept me consistent with my workouts. Something about X’s and checkmarks mentally pushes me to avoid X’s. Even doing a partial workout when I wasn’t feeling it just to get the checkmark felt good. I originally tried logging my workouts in a physical journal but I wouldn’t have it with me at times and would forget to log. This would just discourage me because I would be too many missing logs. Having it on my phone just makes it super convenient and fast since I can type it. 

This really reminded me of Atomic Habits by James Clear. If you want to create a habit you have to make it easy and attractive. And that’s actually what this app did for me!

**Developer response:** Huge thanks for the review! The entire purpose of the app is to help create a workout habbit by giving the user a visual reward when looking at the completed days without making things too complicated. 

Thank you again!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2021-10-13, version 2.7.7*

Visuals are everything! Thank You.

### 4/5 — Nice app….but…….

*2021-09-23*

Nice app and would’ve been a perfect 5 stars except for the fact that you can’t change the order of things once created. You are at the mercy of the app. E.g., I tried to do a biceps, triceps, shoulder rotation of exercises in that exact order but I couldn’t choose the order of exercises. Then I tried deleting and re adding but instead it just adds your exercise in any order it wishes.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for the review and the feature request. Please keep an eye on future updates, this task is on my to do list. 

Thank you!

### 5/5 — Simple Idea

*2021-09-03, version 2.6.3*

Nice clean view that can be used to show your shift pattern and when you can go to the gym or go for a bike ride or a game of golf etc. 
It can handle bespoke recurring events and is flexible. 
It’s got an option to colour code events and add additional notes. Pretty much what you would expect from a calendar but you get to tick off workout sessions as complete and therefore use it for accountability and motivation. It’s pretty neat really.
A simple idea that’s easy to use that could be a powerful tool to help you achieve your workout goals.

### 5/5 — Fantastic customer support!

*2021-06-05*

I’ve been using this app for 7 years.  The developer has been extremely helpful and responsive in working to fix bugs over the years.  Recently I thought I had lost all of my data, but they saved the day.  

To be clear, this is NOT a buggy app.  It works very well and I’ll likely be using this app for years to come.

### 4/5 — Keep color choices

*2021-05-15, version 2.6.3*

Can you update the app so that when you select the name from the list we have created to keep the same color choice?

### 4/5 — No widget yet for IOS 14

*2021-04-07, version 2.6.3*

This app does not have a widget as stated.  Developer did respond and said there will be a new widget for IOS 14.

### 5/5 — Solid app

*2021-04-07, version 2.6.3*

Changing my review to 5 stars, I was confused about the widget function. Excited to see one added to future update!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not worth .99

*2024-04-12, version 2.9.8*

Honestly not worth the dollar. Not sure how they are justified in charging a dollar. The app literally does nothing and on top of that it glitches. Mind blowing, almost zero function and yet it glitches where is the money they are generating going.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-06-08*

I was hoping to use this app more so as a diary to quickly see how often I’ve done a specific workout - legs, chest, arm, cardio, etc. It shows the colored dots, all of which you can assign as different things and they appear at the bottom of each day.  A quick glance at the dots on the bottom of each day & you could see what you did based on the colors. However this only works for future dates.  Once the date has passed, it then only shows a check mark or X.  In order to see what you did that day you have to click on each date.

### 1/5 — Support

*2018-12-31, version 2.5.3*

Only doing 1 star to see if it’s possible to get in contact with support. My app is not letting me do certain things including contacting support because I have to “create an email account,” but it does not let me do that either.

### 1/5 — Super disappointed

*2018-07-01, version 2.4.5*

I basically just paid a dollar for nothing. The app keeps crashing on me for no reason.

### 1/5 — Dull

*2017-01-01, version 2.3.7*

It needs colour! So dull for such a basic app. Please upgrade!

### 1/5 — Don't buy

*2015-09-28, version 2.3.6*

Total waste of money. No more functional that your phones calendar. Stay away

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2013-11-09, version 2.1.2*

Poor, glitchy and doesn't work WASTED MY MONEY

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2013-06-10, version 2.1.1*

Wish I could get my 99 cents back. This app crashes and has hardly any customization capabilities. Go with streaks if you want a good app. Stupid, stupid, cheap crappy app.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2012-12-10, version 2.0.1*

I can do the same thing with the original iphone calendar...

### 2/5 — It’s just a calendar

*2022-09-03, version 2.8.9*

Doesn’t do anything more than a normal calendar. Also, when you set up the recurrence with daily notification, this work only on the first day

### 5/5 — Very Useful for Keeping Track

*2023-12-28, version 2.9.8*

Exactly what I’ve been looking for! So quick and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Best workout calendar

*2023-12-05, version 2.9.8*

Simple but super effective and efficient. Been using this for 2/3 years now and it’s never let me down, some occasional bugs over the years but always fixed quickly. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-11-23, version 2.9.8*

I really like this app, it’s so useful for keeping myself accountable and planning training sessions. The developer has just updated it and fixed a bug as well, so it’s good to know it’s still being looked after.

### 5/5 — Easy to use workout tracker

*2022-10-25*

Been using this for a couple years. I use only the most basic functions so I can’t comment on anything complex but it does exactly what I need it to do (track my workouts, color coded) and has always worked great.

### 5/5 — Color

*2022-08-21, version 2.8.8*

The app is simple and easy to use but I can’t select the color for the workout name!!

### 5/5 — Love

*2022-06-30, version 2.8.5*

The only app that allows me to track my workouts this easily

### 5/5 — Simple is Bliss

*2022-05-18, version 2.8.5*

I’ve written my workouts using this app for years. It’s helps me keep track off my progress and exercises. It’s a great tool to use for your overall health.
