Ratings and reviews

Very user friendly. Something I really appreciate is that you're not forced to do one exercise at a time, you can superset/go in any order and just mark when each set is complete, and it's easy to customize workouts, and new exercises that aren't already included as options, etc. So this app could be useful even if you're not using the 5-3-1 program. Also love the graphs it produces to show your progress.

Really made it easy to follow 5/3/1, even with tweaks or adjustments. Lots of customization that doesn't ruin everything. At first I didn't see how to add a custom exercise (farmer's carry), but figured out you just push the plus button and it gives you options to make your own. So happy to have an easy system to follow with graphs/charts and no frills.

(This is an update of my previous 3-star review.) I love this app (used it more than 2 years) because you can adapt it to your workout plan within the 5-3-1 framework. After starting over with the Free version on a new phone, I had trouble later transferring my settings and record to this version. I reached out to the developer by email and they gave me the simple steps, using Back Up & Restore from Settings in the app. They also answered a previous question quickly.
