Ratings and reviews

Enjoy the starting strength program, but this app is barely in life support. I can "log" a workout but it doesn't save anywhere. I can't see the progress being made. Doesn't swap to the next workout properly. Keep losing settings for units and the plates I have available. $15 lost, time to find a better app.

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.

if you are doing the Starting Strength Linear Progression you are in better hands than a notebook. The plate calculator is especially helpful (for me at least). Timer is an outstanding function. I don't have any major complaints about this one for you guys. If you're just looking for a workout app it will probably confuse you until you figure out the program it is desogned to fit.
