Ratings and reviews

Writing a new review - this app continues to be the absolute best workout log on Google Play. That said, there are a few features still needed: on unweighted exercises, it doesn't recognize PRs, and when calculating volume or number of sets, there's no way to tell it not to count warm-up sets. Additionally, you can't put an exercise into multiple categories (for instance, bench press should be volume towards both chest and triceps, but you need to choose one or the other.)

It's for logging your workouts. it doesn't try to to integrate with all your devices and apps. it doesn't track your heart rate or blood pressure. it doesn't coach you or make exercise recommendations. Because it doesn't do those things, it is super efficient at planning a workout and recording your weights and reps. Exactly what I was looking for.

A simple and useful strength training journal. There's no need to create an online account, and yet it has cloud and local backup options. There's no pointless social feed to eat up your screen real estate. It's just an effective and amazing app to track your workouts. That being said, I would definitely spend more money on the app for an updated UI and for additional ways to track other exercise variables (like warmup sets, drop sets, myorep sets, etc) without using regular set comments.
