Been using the app for two years now, and for the most part, I really love it. I feel like it paid for itself after a few sessions when I stop and think about the time and effort it would take me to track and calculate all my numbers. Best of all, the app propels my progression forward, and helps me program more load and volume into my work outs than I probably would on my own. That said, I've always experienced a lot of bug issues with this app. If my screen is locked, my rest timer will not go off, and sometimes when I switch between apps, 531 shuts off completely, and I have to re-enter progress. It's really frustrating and breaks the flow of my workouts if I have to pause and re-enter my lifts. Overall, I think this app is amazing. I'm just crossing my fingers that some of those bugs get fixed

Love how far this app has come since first using years ago. Would be amazing if I could input "custom" exercise names, but besides that it's worth it. EDIT: Thanks for responding. Yes I mean the custom additional lifts of course, not the 4 main lifts. For example, split squats, chest flys, and any machine exercises are not on the list. Just add a "custom" category where the user can input their own exercise name and it would be a 5 star app.

Hello Patrick,
Thank you for your review.
Please see settings, custom main lifts for additional 5/3/1 lifts or https://sites.google.com/site/wendler531android/assistance-workouts for additional assistance exercises.

Big thank you to whoever took the time to develop this app. It's pretty clear to use as far as the app itself goes. May be difficult if it's the user's first time running through the 5/3/1 program, but there plenty of resources elsewhere to explain the program. I really enjoy the customization capabilities and the option to add your own lifts and sets. You can also export to .xsl if you want to upload data to your computer. Well done!
