1. [R1] Stronger 2/5 · US Few bugs but love the app: There are a few bugs to be worked out but overall I love it. It is just not working well at all right now.
2. [R3] Stronger 3/5 · US Great app, still buggy: Overall, I’ve been really enjoying this app as a way to design and track my workouts. I like that it’s focused only on weight lifting. However, the AI-coach feature is still incredibly buggy. I tried using it to design the 6-week routine with 5x workouts a week, and I think if you happen to skip a day, it starts acting weird. It had me doing the routine on a Tues->Tues cycl
3. [R9] Stronger 3/5 · US So close: It’s so close to being perfect. There’s just little things wrong with it. When I finish a set a timer pops up but it also covers the keyboard so I can’t make inputs for the next set. The timer doesn’t ding or notify you that time is up. When I click the check mark in the typing area, it just scrolls down on rep and weight. It doesn’t complete the set I’m filling out info for. I haven’t
4. [R15] Stronger 3/5 · US Same bugs for about a year now: This might be the first time reviewing an app but i tried the trial a -8 months ago and it wasnt that good of an app. I forgot to cancel the trial and i ended up paying the year. Ive tried to use it but then the same issues its had for months keep coming up. The idea is cool but the devs dont really care much about it.
5. [R4] Stronger 1/5 · US Didn’t work: I downloaded it paid took my money and then the app just keeps going back to pay page and it won’t let me do anything unless I keep trying to repay. I cannot get the it to work very disappointing
6. [R7] Stronger 1/5 · US Doesn’t work: Downloaded it and signed up for the free trial. Unfortunately the app won’t advance past that page. Will not allow you to do anything on the app!
7. [R10] Stronger 1/5 · US Sketchy: The app told me when I downloaded that it would send me a notification when my free trial was about to end, before they charged me for a subscription. They did not notify me first and also charged me before my free trial was supposed to end.
8. [R13] Stronger 1/5 · US How do I get through the pay wall: I DONT WANT PRO LET ME JUST PASS THE PAY WALL
9. [R18] Stronger 3/5 · US Solid but needs updating: The app AI is a cool feature but the app is missing a lot of workouts I normally do at the gym. And if let’s say you’re doing farmers walks it only gives options for reps which doesn’t make sense as it’s time based. I also feel if you set strength as your goal the AI shouldn’t be trying to make you do 10 reps, strength training comes within the 4/5 rep range. Last is the
10. [R25] Stronger 1/5 · US Very limited: I can never build a workout because this app has limited choices. I end up with pen and paper. WHY did I pay for this?
11. [R32] Stronger 5/5 · US great app but: they truly need to add more workouts in there they have almost all of them but there are some small ones that i use and i know others do too that they need to add. they also need to change the setting for planks it shouldn’t be reps it should be seconds or minutes. overall great app i love how it keeps track of my workouts and reminds me to do them.
12. [R33] Stronger 3/5 · US Good app but wish it offered more options for exercises: Great for workout tracking if you only lift weights, but wish it had more options for Kickboxing other than to just create a bodyweight workout. Would love to see new options to better track progress.
13. [R21] Stronger 3/5 · US Needs work: I’m a paid subscriber and I like the app overall, but it needs a few things fixed, which I will outline below. 1. The rest timer sits on top of the keypad, meaning you can’t write out the next sets reps and weight amount unless you skip the timer. It would be much better if the timer was in another spot so it doesn’t hide the keypad. 2. Some more clarification on dumbbell-based worko
14. [R34] Stronger 2/5 · US Bloated Poorly Designed UI: Great in theory, but in practice the UI is next to unusable. Want to lift and track your workout? Time to close out of the coach tips pop ups. Next close out of the timer pop up. Next close out of the recommended range pop up. Want to modify the “AI generated” (single default) workout routine? You can’t. You have to delete it and all of your progress to make a new on
15. [R43] Stronger 2/5 · US Good but also bad: The apps fundamentals are solid but it’s riddled with bugs. You can’t create a workout, then go back and edit it. You can’t edit workout names. If they fix, I will re-consider this review.
16. [R24] Stronger 3/5 · US Won’t track strength: Won’t track my strength ratings after doing workouts it just stays at beginner ever since the new update
17. [R30] Stronger 3/5 · US Bugged Update: The app was great up until the most recent update, the new update has upped the progress of my body chart out of nowhere so everything is now inaccurate. I could be intermediate in my highest exercise of a muscle group but it shows advanced on the muscle chart. What’s going on?
18. [R39] Stronger 3/5 · US Great tracking/Bad ranking: I’ve been lifting for 10 years. 6’0 190 11%Bf. I’m stronger than 90% of people (not trying to be biased). The ranking system is poorly skewed due to user data. How is curling 50lbs each arm for ten reps and 5 sets considered novice/beginner. My lifts all around are extremely impressive by all metrics but the ranking system makes me feel as if that’s wrong.
19. [R22] Stronger 1/5 · US subscription: took an almost perfect app then added a subscription for the types of sets you can do
20. [R31] Stronger 2/5 · US PAYWALL and 3 day split: That app is cool and has lots of features which can make tracking workouts more fun. Unfortunately, most of the features they advertise are behind paywalls. It gets worse too, even the bare minimum for a workout app is also behind a paywall. The app only lets you create 3 preset workouts that you can select when going to the gym. These presets you create have all the exerc
21. [R17] Stronger 5/5 · US Great App: I’ve been using this app for almost 5 years now and it has almost every feature i want. I like it better than all the other apps. The only thing i want is more apple health integrations but overall great!
22. [R45] Stronger 3/5 · US Not complete. Not worth subscription. YET.: Hopefully the Devs read this. There is no support for wearables. Bugs out and keeps workout going even after completing and closing the app. Have to uninstall and reinstall to have it stop recording the closed workout. Setup is cumbersome but not awful. Ai assistant and tracking is solid, but not always using the rest function properly. Needs updates. Ba
23. [R48] Stronger 3/5 · US Could be better: I’m a little disappointed that I bought the year subscription and don’t intend to use it. The app itself is fine, I like that I can build my splits and customize as needed. However, what’s frustrating for me is that it doesn’t connect to my Apple health or other similar trackers. If it would do that, I could see myself using it more. I understand this is a new app, so it still has
24. [R52] Fitbod 5/5 · US Fire your personal trainer: This app has taken me further in the two years I’ve been using it then prior times. As a newbie to the gym I was intimidated and didn’t know what to do. Fitbod solves that problem. The workouts you do are explained in detail with videos showing each movement. The custom plan for your goals and continuous overloading weights built into the algorithm guarantees your physi
25. [R53] Fitbod 3/5 · US Muscle groups: I use to be able to choose my own muscle groups and it’s no longer available, would like to have my options open while still being advised. Thanks, sincerely S Felix
26. [R54] Fitbod 1/5 · US Day 1: The whole setup is confusing. Day one’s workout was a mess. Second time trying this app due to friend’s recommendations. Will see how it goes moving forward.
27. [R56] Fitbod 3/5 · US No es versátil: Tengo rato indicándole que puedo con más series y con más peso y no actualiza. Repite mucho las máquinas y el tipo de ejercicio y yo estoy en un gimnasio comercial muy completo no es creativo las variables
28. [R65] Gymverse 2/5 · US You won’t progress: Interface is great. App is frustratingly dumb. As one single example, and there are many, It cannot differentiate between a set you did as your first workout of a day versus when it puts that same workout as sets 12-15. Because of this, your weight won’t increase unless you ignore the app. I’ve used it 3 years and I just have to ignore how stupid it is. To make matters worse, i
29. [R66] Gymverse 5/5 · US Integrity: Thanks to this app I am able to follow a plan, not improvise and guess what I am doing! Great great app!!!
30. [R67] Gymverse 3/5 · US Animal Comparisons: Was 5 stars with the animal comparisons. Much less exciting with the new system.
31. [R68] Gymverse 1/5 · US Wasted workouts: App glimpse ches and does not count your workout. This really needs to be addressed. I will be looking forward a new workout app
32. [R79] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 1/5 · US It stinks now: It used to sync well with my watch. Not anymore. Almost useless.
33. [R80] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 4/5 · US Good, but could be better: I love the app, but I recommend adding a feature where we can set how long the rest time is
34. [R81] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 3/5 · US Hevy Free version better: Hevy app gives more options, insights and charts than this app. The free version is not sufficient and would need us to pay for it to be usable
35. [R82] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 2/5 · US Buggy: Today is my first day working with this app. I’m entering custom exercises to build my first routine. The app has frozen several times and needed to be restarted.
36. [R93] Liftoff 1/5 · US Scam: You have to pay for all their greedy little features and when you go to delete and say why it glitches your phone and will constantly take you to email this app is a joke
37. [R94] Liftoff 5/5 · US Very Amazing app.: I feel huge and look better definitely try it out, just been using it for a week now.
38. [R95] Liftoff 3/5 · US Decent app: It’s a decent app but after like 5 months of owning it I couldn’t see or add any new friends and that really sucks because then I’d need to make a whole new account of if I did care that much about the friend aspect. It caused me to stop buying a membership because the app works when it wants to.
39. [R96] Liftoff 1/5 · US Subscription: I was charged $80 for a subscription that I never even subscribed to nor was it even offered to me! This is absolutely ridiculous and I better be refunded! Be careful with this app because they may do it to you
40. [R107] Hevy 5/5 · US No frills, just right: A great app for tracking weight lifting! Easy to use and helpful
41. [R108] Hevy 3/5 · US Not watch friendly: I liked this app pretty well at first. I've learned how to use it pretty good, but I'm somebody that likes to work out with my watch not carry my phone around. Unfortunately, your previous routine values like reps and weight are not gonna load on the watch. It sees what they were, and it will tell you that you broke your record and in little tiny print that I can't read without
42. [R109] Hevy 5/5 · US Great for progressive overload: Very easy to build routines and track progress. I’ve been lifting for years but always found systemically tracking progressive overload quite hard. This app saves your weight automatically for each exercise and rep range so it’s way easier. Worked great for my bulk this year.
43. [R110] Hevy 3/5 · US Okay app just wish it would work with whoop: Fix the app to work with whoop bands so you can track heart rate and everything I’m having to use whoop and Strava now since you can’t do it here
44. [R6] Stronger 3/5 · US Not what it advertises it to be: This app is just your simple workout log. But the way they advertise it. You would think that it gives you predetermined workout routines. Which is fine but certainly not worth 39.99 a year
