1. [R1] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 1/5 · US It stinks now: It used to sync well with my watch. Not anymore. Almost useless.
2. [R9] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 3/5 · US Good app; watch app unusable: The watch complication helpfully prevents you from accidentally pasting your password into the password field when you use the remote keyboard. So if you have a long complex password, stick with the phone. Disappointing.
3. [R10] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 2/5 · US Buggy, even with the paid version: This app is incredibly inconsistent, especially when it comes to syncing up to my Series 11, sometimes it absolutely refuses to communicate with the watch and vice versa. The timers between sets often freeze or don’t engage at all, it throws in random numbers for weight and reps into my workout templates and a large amount of my recorded sessions seem to disappea
4. [R11] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 4/5 · US Buggy: Love the app for the features but it has become so buggy when trying to sync with my Apple Watch. Some days are great but others it plain out refuses to sync no matter what I do. This needs to be fixed.
5. [R3] 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
6. [R39] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 3/5 · GB Why only 3 templates: This app was great. Super easy to use even alerted you when the timer was up when off the app. The app lets you make your split into individual templates (eg one template for a push workout). This was good until I realised you can only make 3 templates which was really impractical.
7. [R42] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 3/5 · GB Good but: Would be nice if you could get more than 3 free workout templates before you had to pay
8. [R45] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 3/5 · GB Restricted app: Limited free version
9. [R7] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 2/5 · US The workout app field is expanding rapidly and Strong is getting left behind.: I’m quickly finding that there’s no perfect workout app. There’s always a these things are great or improvements over this app…but…and the “but” is the key because it comes down to which app is offering the trade offs you’re willing to live without? My frustration with Strong is we are still dealing with syncing issue
10. [R19] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 2/5 · US Used to be good: Little changes have been made that make no sense. Why can I take notes on a set of any given move, but when I view the history of that move I can’t see the notes? When I do a move on Wednesday, I can’t see the angle I used or changes I made from the last Friday. That USED to be possible, and I even emailed about it last year, but it’s still gone. That’s useless.
11. [R25] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 2/5 · US No Longer Updating: The app is good except for the fact that is seems like they've stopped caring or updating the app. The list of workouts in their database is extremely limited. You can add your own, but they don't allow you add any images/ videos/notes for reference. I think with ALL the apps out there, they should be updating their list of workouts weekly to include visuals and notes. Or at
12. [R33] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 3/5 · US Very few exercises listed: Intermediate level exercises like body weight, some weighted, and cable or machine workouts are strangely omitted from the core app. You can add them in but if the app is popular then why are they missing?
13. [R4] 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.
14. [R22] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 2/5 · US Illogical Workout Finish: There is no way to make skipped sets carry over to future workouts without losing other changes. You will see skipped exercises disappear or else newly added exercises disappear, depending on which of the 3 illogical “finish workout” options the app offers. Very frustrating. Difficult to maintain a consistent routine. People have been complaining about this for years on R
15. [R6] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 3/5 · US Strava integration: create workout app, but I really wish it had Strava integration. I want my workout to upload to Strava create workout app, but I really wish it had Strava integration. I want my workout to upload to Strava.
16. [R32] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 4/5 · US Strong Suggestion: Please make it so I can add my friends on this app and we can share our workouts and see our PRs!! That would be so fun!! :)
17. [R28] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 1/5 · US Update is trash: Been using it for years. It was absolutely phenomenal until the last update. All of my years of data are gone. My workouts are gone. And now everything requires money. I can’t even save a weeks worth of workouts without paying anymore. Time to find a new app.
18. [R51] Workout for Women 1/5 · US Nothing but paywalls: Is there anything that is free on this app anymore?? Even workouts I had previously saved now ask you to pay. Ridiculous
19. [R52] Workout for Women 5/5 · US Great for beginners: I’ve been off and on with the Sweat app but it’s a lot of dedication from the start. Workout for Women from home and gym it’s great for beginners and it’s not killer or time consuming. I can fit 20 min or less anytime in between my schedule. Works out aren’t out of this world and one can sustain it for beginners. Def recommend!
20. [R53] Workout for Women 3/5 · US Cannot access paid subscription: I was logged out of the app recently and cannot log back in to access my workouts and benefits of my paid subscription
21. [R54] Workout for Women 1/5 · US Scam and expensive: Cancelled my subscription and then received not one but two charges in the same day totaling almost $100!!! Don’t do it! Not worth it.
22. [R65] Fitbod 1/5 · US Nooooooooo: Horrible it told me on an add it was completely free but no over 95.00$ a year!
23. [R66] Fitbod 5/5 · US Love this app: Feels great! Easy to follow! And I can scale weight gradually or quickly and I see my strength growing over time! Feel strong!
24. [R68] Fitbod 1/5 · US Charging me: Even though I try to cancel subscription it keeps on charging me money 1/10 i would definitely not recommend🤮🤢
25. [R69] Fitbod 5/5 · US Accountability Partner extraordinaire!: I've been using FitBot for three years now, and it just keeps getting better. It keeps me accountable because across different training goals, across different gyms.
26. [R79] 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
27. [R80] Gymverse 5/5 · US App is great: This app is fantastic. Even though they charged me twice this year. Still love and need the app.
28. [R81] Gymverse 3/5 · US Animal Comparisons: Was 5 stars with the animal comparisons. Much less exciting with the new system.
29. [R82] Gymverse 1/5 · US Annoying bugs: I really like this app, enough that I pay $20 a month for it. But it’s super annoying that trying to edit your workouts MAKES THE WHOLE APP FREEZE AND HARDLOCK AND IT DOESNT SAVE THE CHANGES!!!!!
30. [R93] Hevy 5/5 · US Must have for lifting: LOVE this app, it keeps me regular with my workouts, easy to use, shows your PRs, has timers etc and is free, I have been way busier in the gym since I got this
31. [R94] Hevy 5/5 · US Favorite app: Hevy is awesome. It keeps you motivated by seeing how much you lift per month, tracks your progress, built in workout timer. All my friends are on it, we like and comment on each others workouts. The interface is super clean and easy to use
32. [R95] Hevy 5/5 · US FIREEE: POWER TOOL
33. [R96] Hevy 5/5 · US Great app: Love this app. Keeps me on target and reminds me what weight I’m on. Great for challenging yourself and friends. Free is good but I have no complaints about the lifetime membership. My wife, my daughter and I all use it. The like the coach option so they don’t have to figure out what they are doing for each workout, it just tells them what they should do.
34. [R107] Stronglifts 5x5 Workout Plan 1/5 · US Not free: I used this app all the time and took a break due to injury. Came back to it to find out now I have to pay for it
35. [R108] Stronglifts 5x5 Workout Plan 5/5 · US Good: Good
36. [R109] Stronglifts 5x5 Workout Plan 3/5 · US Update meh: Dislike this last update and the changes made it less user friendly. And deleted all my work outs.. after 599 workouts logged time to find something else…
37. [R110] Stronglifts 5x5 Workout Plan 1/5 · US Already paid, not paying again.: Years ago I bought this app for something like $5. The dev updated everything to the point that whatever I had bought, is no longer accessible without paying. Forget this guy. Im not paying him again, regardless of the changes. I just wanted the basic tracking anyway.
38. [R12] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 3/5 · US Great But Buggy: I’ve used this app for years. It gets so much right. But the Apple Watch app sync has been buggy for years despite many promises. Other apps have no problem. Such a bummer.
39. [R26] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 5/5 · US Amazing for it being free: Been using it to track workouts for the past 3 years. Very intuitive interface and very generous for it being free. No ADs either which is a plus. Great history and tracking features as well
40. [R41] Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log 5/5 · US Amazing Watch App: I’ve been using the iPhone app for years but I never realized how good the Apple Watch is. It might be the best Watch app I’ve ever used, including Apple’s apps. Best of all, it’s free. The developers lock just enough features behind the subscription that it feels fair to paying and free users (I’ve been both). UPDATE: Just came on here to reiterate that after many years, this
41. [R71] Fitbod 1/5 · US Stupid: I downloaded it, answered all the questions and then it brought up the usual... Paying for a subscription. There was no X on the screen and it wouldn't let me past that screen almost making sign up for a subscription. I tried to close and refresh app but then it just went back to that screen. Waste of time signing up for something that was supposed to be free.
42. [R74] Fitbod 1/5 · US Subscription Mandatory: Classic free SaS app that makes you make an account and then immediately asks for an auto renewing payment method to do a free trial. Can’t even get to the page to delete your account without putting in payment information.
43. [R112] Stronglifts 5x5 Workout Plan 2/5 · US Declining Quality: I’ve used this app for around three years. In the beginning, it was one of the best weightlifting apps I had tried. It was reliable, easy to use, and made tracking my workouts simple. Things started to change after the lifetime subscription was introduced. I don’t know whether it was related, but it gave me the impression that the focus shifted away from maintaining and improvi
44. [R114] Stronglifts 5x5 Workout Plan 1/5 · US Deceptive “Lifetime” purchase.: I’ve been using this app off and on for ten years, ever since I made the decision to pay upfront for a "lifetime pass" under the clear impression that I would have access to the service for as long as the app existed. It is incredibly disappointing to see the developer now unilaterally revoke that access and force long-term supporters into a monthly subscription mod
