Stronger is a workout tracking app praised for its ease of use and ability to help users progress. However, it suffers from significant bugs, aggressive paywalls for basic features, and a lack of customer support, making the value of its subscription debatable.

Free vs paid

The app is marketed as free, but many users report encountering aggressive paywalls that prevent them from using even basic features without subscribing or starting a free trial R8R12R26R33. Some users initially found it useful for free tracking R1, but recent reviews indicate that core features like creating more than three preset workouts, viewing muscle ranking, or accessing AI coaching are behind a paywall R19R26R109R234. The paid version, which can cost around $40-$70 per year R11R22R29, offers features like AI coaching, more workout options, and advanced tracking, but these are often reported as buggy or incomplete R9R11R20R45.

  1. [R8] 1/5 · US How do I get through the pay wall: I DONT WANT PRO LET ME JUST PASS THE PAY WALL
  2. [R12] 2/5 · US Not a good app: Had to find a way around the free trial it tries to force you to get, however without the trial the app really just sucks. There are plenty of better free apps but this one is lacking a lot, it just seems to be a quick cash grab or they’re relying on you to forget about canceling the free trial lol. 2 stars because I guess it is a workout app
  3. [R26] 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
  4. [R33] 1/5 · US Buns: Horrible I can’t even make a account without having to start a free trial
  5. [R11] 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
  6. [R20] 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?
  7. [R22] 1/5 · US Garbage: Dont use this its completely useless. they have the nerve to charge you 50 dollars too 🤣
  8. [R29] 1/5 · US Horrible Support.: I didn’t sign up for the yearly plan, I opted for the monthly one. It charged me for the yearly plan and support will not respond to any of my emails. It’s been days, and I’ve emailed them 3 times. Don’t waste your money.
  9. [R19] 1/5 · US subscription: took an almost perfect app then added a subscription for the types of sets you can do
  10. [R109] 1/5 · US Stop charging: Ruined what I loved about the app by hiding the muscle ranking and starting to charge for access to it
  11. [R234] 3/5 · US Needs more unique features for free users.: Was intrigued by the apparent "Strength Score" aspect of the app, which prompted a download, only to find that it requires money to view. I feel that was what set this app apart from certain others so at this point its as any other gym tracking app out there. Disappointing. I think the developer should add more unique free features to set it apart from o
  12. [R5] 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
  13. [R7] 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.
  14. [R38] 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.
  15. [R1] 5/5 · US Great app: Great app, easy to use and track your lifts and it’s free!
  16. [R3] 5/5 · US Very Helpful and Easy to Use: Amazing app that will pull you and help you on your PR. I love it. Highly recommended
  17. [R15] 5/5 · US Perfect app for the gym, very beginner friendly!: I love this app, perfect for personalizing and keeping all my different machine weights logged for me so I don’t have to worry about it. When I first started attending the gym I tried making an excel spreadsheet to help me track my machine weights but this app does it for me and really makes it fun to see which muscle groups I focus on more then ot
  18. [R16] 5/5 · US so tea: like deadass helpful asf
  19. [R36] 5/5 · US Works: I like the app easy to use shows great insight and makes working out more efficient and effective
  20. [R40] 5/5 · US 6+ Months w/STRONGER: big fan! i’m up on PRs and dropped from 270lb to 240lb i’ve been using the app every day and have hit PRs every week! the app name speaks for itself, you will definitely get STRONGER using this. personally i love that i can track each muscle group and get an accurate representation of what needs work/what needs rest. when you are in a workout, the app pre loads your previo
  21. [R53] 5/5 · US Huge fan of this app: I really enjoy the constant updates you guys provide. The app continuously improves. It has genuinely increased my workout efficiency and improved my strength. I am glad to see the “classes” adjusted, some of the world class was incredibly difficult to reach lol. Please continue the good work. I will be a long time user of this app.
  22. [R14] 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!
  23. [R17] 5/5 · US Developers do more: This app has so much potential but it seems like some side gig for the developers who haven’t done really anything at all to update the interface.
  24. [R32] 4/5 · US Honestly 7.5/10: Big fan tbh, it is a little frustrating that after selecting a layout/pic and posting to feed - the layout you selected disappears and it’s just the normal pic no workout stats. Bummed about that bug and that i can’t have a “private” account or feed but! A month so far of using and i like it!!
  25. [R35] 5/5 · US it’s the best: and again it’s the best
  26. [R9] 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
  27. [R45] 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
  28. [R48] 5/5 · US Great App: Awesome app. Love the coaching feature. It pushes me to do better. Pls add a way to track body fat percentage similar to how bodyweight is currently tracked on the app. Thanks!
  29. [R4] 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.
  30. [R23] 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
  31. [R102] 1/5 · US Customer service non-existent: Terrible customer service it is literally impossible to get in touch with a representative that works here. I lost all of my recorded workouts of 6 months due to a simple forgotten password issue.
