Ratings and reviews

it isn't bad. but reading the reviews, it seems this used to be a buy-once product that moved to subscription. subscription makes no sense, there's no storage or cloud compute going on. I don't mind paying for continuing development, but in 6 months there's been no new features, let alone any worth the cost. I'll probably run this subscription out and then vibe code my own version, as this is a fairly trivial app to create.

As I get older, I realize how important lifting is to maintaining my mobility and flexibility. Stronglifts was a great motivator for me by helping me make incremental progress toward my goals. After some time away for sickness and injury, I came back to the app to find that I now have to subscribe even to get to the data I have already in my account, much less use the app. Thanks but no thanks. I'll find another way.

Unfortunately, I’ve had to drop this to 2 stars because the app has become unreliable in tracking progress accurately. The biggest issues: Workouts keep resetting unexpectedly, which wipes out momentum and makes it hard to trust the program. Individual exercises sometimes don’t update after completion, even when the workout itself is finished. The concept is still excellent.
