Ratings and reviews

A+ exercise/workout tracking app. I would highly recommend. The best one, by far, I've tried, after trying out many similar apps. Free, no ads, simple interface, no frills, no bloat, straightforward and easy to use, many options to customize exercise data, and simple to figure out. I really can't compliment this app enough. It's a great fit for any type of fitness routine one might be into.

Very cool, you can input your very own exercise stuff so it doesn't limit you on what you can put in! 😄 I only wish I could add pictures or something to visualize each type of exercise like other apps do, otherwise I'm stuck naming stuff like "kneel on floor face down side lift leg", which gets annoying to figure out the more complicated the exercise is. It's even got an exercise already in there called "dragon flag", what the heck even is that?😅

I have been using this app for 10 years and it does everything I need. It is uncluttered, customizable and ad free. The best features are being able to instantly view stats such as PRs, estimated PR, Max Volume etc. within the current workout. Also being able to add, configure and track custom exercises and then being able to easily group exercises to create custom routines. The ability to keep the screen on during workouts is also very useful. Keep up the good work.
