Ratings and reviews

I assume the fee for upgrade is one time fee. The upgrade is good. Thank you for creating this app. Still trying to figure out navigation. Doesn't seem to be a home button so back button it is.. I love the app very much but you could make navigation easier for us old farts.😉

Great app. been using it for almost 2 years. I can customize my workout each day and it remembers the last weight and reps I used. I do wish there was a way to create custom groups of workouts for example: leg day, core day, arm day etc and quickly go to a list of those groups and pick one. There is supersets but I find it hard to find and utilize. You can go to your calendar and copy a workout but you don't know what grouping it is until you click in and look.

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.)

What's new

• Mark exercises as favourites to identify them quickly in the list.
