So far I like it, but I the progress screen isn't accurately tracking my progress. For example: showing a PR I hit a week ago that ive since surpassed or showing the correct PR but the wrong date that I hit it. other than. Not the biggest of deals since I track my progress using the log, but for something I am paying for it is irritating.

Thanks Logan! The PR date mismatch is a known bug we're actively working to fix — sorry it's slipping through on a paid feature. The log is reliable in the meantime. Reach out at customersupport@strength.club if anything else comes up. — Starting Strength team

Have been doing the NLP by myself. Fantastic program. The app is extremely easy to use and having the tutorial is great before lifting, just to keep form fresh on the mind.

Jason's a real name. Warm, specific, short. Jason, thank you! Running the NLP solo takes discipline, and it sounds like you're doing it right — keeping the technique cues fresh before each session is exactly how the program is meant to be used. Keep adding weight to the bar!

So far it's great. Easy as can be. Wish the same could be said for how hard the workouts are getting....

That's the program working exactly as it should! The fact that it's getting harder means you're getting stronger. Keep grinding — the bar doesn't lie.
