Somewhat functional, but bugged. All I want is to go into the app and have it figure out that since I did the press last time, I need to do the bench today. Instead I have to manually set the second exercise every time. It's also as other reviewers have noted, slow and occasionally unresponsive. Data storage should be local first, not cloud first, and the app should opportunistically sync. Second star for functioning well enough as a weight calculator.

I genuinely love the Starting Strength program. I own both the blue book and Practical Programming and after less than six months following it I was hoping the app would make my intermediate progression on Press more manageable with some sort of template. At quite a steep cost; this app seems to have been built by someone with a largely different view of the program than I've been led to believe by Mr. Rippertoe, with rest being less than 2 minutes and other weird quirks. Wouldn't recommend.

Hi Francisco, thanks for the feedback. The app is for novices end not for intermediates, that is pretty clearly stated on the play store page. If you have other concerns about where we don't follow the program, please email us at support@strength.club with the specific issues and we can look into it for you.

Great app. Takes a little learning, but the basic functionality is a game changer for making it really easy to stick to a workout routine. Instructional videos are great. So nice to have the weights all figured out for me and to be able to effortlessly track progress.
