Ratings and reviews

UPDATE 2: Flash forward to 2025. I'm still using this app. It has added numerous updates and each one has added functionality and value. literally can not recommend this app highly enough. Simple application gets the job done for tracking workout. UPDATE 1... the latest update is sometimes not saving my workout on the galaxy s4. I copy from a previous day, update the weights and reps, and then it will sometimes lose all of my saved workout for that day.

I have had this app since September of 2014, and when I first got it, I thought it was a pretty good app. Since the updates this app has gotten better, and better. With the latest update, it is fantastic. For a month or two, I switched over to another app of this sort that seemed to offer more features at the time, but you had to pay for many of them. After my free trial expired, I went back to this app. Just need to be able to export comments+notes w/ records. Rn, it's a massive pain to do.

I've been using this simple-to-use app for 2 years now and it's reliable, flexible and gives lots of advanced features. You can set goals, see all sorts of stats (reps, max weight, etc) and add new custom exercises. It keeps me motivated because I can review my progress with the touch of a button. Edit: it's probably been 8 years and I'm still using this app. Reliable and only what you need.
