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 β€” 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. β€” Starting Strength team

I preferred the set up of the old app. It was easier to navigate and I could see everything for the workout on one screen. The app doesn't run smoothly either. There are a lot of error screens that pop up.
