See your progress, every time you train. WeightFlow is built around two questions: "What did I lift last time?" and "Am I actually improving?" Walk up to a machine, scan its QR code (or just pick the exercise manually), and your last session's sets are already there. After training, you can look at your performance and see your progress. WHY WEIGHTFLOW WeightFlow is built to "disappear" - no typing, no digging through menus mid-set, no losing your place between exercises. Log a set in one tap and get back to lifting. HOW IT WORKS โข Scan a QR code on a WeightFlow-supported gym machine, or pick any exercise manually - pick whichever fits your gym โข Your previous sets pre-fill automatically - weight, reps, everything โข Quick drum-wheel pickers for weight and reps, built for one-handed use between sets โข Drop sets are built in - one tap drops the weight and adjusts reps to match your plan โข Multiple exercises in one session automatically group into a single workout TRACK REAL PROGRESS No confusing scores or indexes, just the numbers that actually matter... โข Total volume lifted per week, so you can see the trend at a glance โข Peak weight per session, tracked over time for every exercise โข Estimated max as a simple reference stat โข Full session history to see exactly what changed since last time WORKS OFFLINE, SYNCS EVERYWHERE WeightFlow is local-first: every set you log is saved on your device instantly, whether you're online or not. When you're back on WiFi or data, everything backs up automatically. SIGN IN YOUR WAY Use Apple, Google, or a plain email and password - whatever's fastest for you. Free to use. Available in English and Slovak

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WeightFlow at none against Axelroad's 6. Axelroad's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
