Alert-iT - app used to configure Alert-iT devices. The Alert-iT app equips your Bluetooth® enabled iOS device for wireless setup of Alert-iTs latest devices. The app provides simple intuitive config set-up and a widened array of programmable features. Parameter configuration is performed via a wireless Bluetooth connection using Alert-iTs app loaded onto a Bluetooth compatible iOS device. Once installed onto a mobile device, the app must be connected with one of our Bluetooth compatible products through Bluetooth in order to display configuration menus. Without connectivity, you will not see any of the menus. Best connection is obtained when the iOS device is within 9 meters of the device. Activate the Scan function from the Alert-iT app when in proximity of the target device, the smartphone or tablet will search for Bluetooth devices and list them by name. The default name for each device will be its P number appended with the factory serial number. Please note: some devices will require a button to be pressed before they can be connected to, please see the devices handbook for specific instructions. Make all configuration selections as desired from the various app menus. Once complete, save settings and exit app. All changes will be lost if the “Save” activity is not completed at the end of the process.

Lyfto remembers your training so you don't have to. Log every set in seconds with pre-filled targets, a live rest timer, plate math and warm-up sets built for you. Then watch it pay off: a Strength Score across your big lifts, per-muscle progress, tier badges from Novice to World Class and PRs tracked automatically. The difference is the coach. Lyfto's AI coach has read your entire history. Ask "what should I lift today?", "why is my bench stuck?" or "build me a program" and get answers built on your own numbers, including how hard every set felt. • Fast set logger with warm-ups, supersets and rest timer • AI coach that knows your workouts, PRs, effort and body data • Strength Score, per-muscle breakdown and PR predictions • Adaptive programs (PPL, Upper/Lower, Full Body, or your own) • 498 exercises with how-to guides • Weekly leagues, groups, a social feed and direct messages • Bring your history from Strong, Hevy or Fitbod • Apple Watch and Health: log sets and track heart rate on your wrist LYFTO PRO Logging, history, progress and the social features cost nothing.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Alert at none against Lyfto's 2. Alert also leads on iOS requirement (12.5 vs 16.2). Lyfto's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
