Ratings and reviews

Good things cost money. This app gives you everything you need to start weight training except the equipment (which you can buy from the app or find a gym in your area). The UI is clean with some minor scaling issues on my phone and easy to navigate. The instructions for each exercise is provided in 3 ways. You get access to articles on nutrition, habits and can connect with others through a forum. The best part is that Starting Strength is based hard science.

Perfect for following starting strength. The weight plate calcs, and progression set-up is really helpful. You could do it on paper, but the app saves a lot of effort in record keeping. There are a couple of small bugs in the timers between exercises. After warm up, you expect a timer, but it doesn't activate. Between warm up sets you get it, and between set 1-2-3 workset it activates.

Logs save trees. Has this picture thing with lines that go up after every workout. Kinda neat. Has excerpts from the book and form videos that show me how bad my form is. It has this buzzer thing that yells at you when it's time to lift. Takes counting to 60 in my head out of the equation so I can focus on the next set. Makes you go deaf if you're wearing earbuds. Awesome feature. I havent moved the barbell when deadlifting since using. 10/10 will lift again.
