1. [R2] 5/5 · US My workout partner: I use this app in every single workout. I can’t remember the weights and repetitions and seeing them precisely allows me to see progress. I love the ability to create my own templates when I get too comfortable with my workout I create alternate templates to explore, newer types of exercise, like body, weights, or kettle balls, or any number of things.
2. [R6] 5/5 · US Phenomenal: Nearly 700 workouts done using this app. Absolutely a beast at tracking sets. The graphs monitoring progress over time are super helpful as well. Definitely recommend!
3. [R8] 5/5 · US Love it!: I love this app. I love being able to see how much better I can do each time I repeat a workout.
4. [R9] 5/5 · US Fantastic workout partner: I’ve been using Strong for over two years. I now have a huge record of specific workouts and exercises and can see my progress. Super easy to plan workouts and record exercises.
5. [R20] 5/5 · US This app is awesome!!!: This is the third training app I switched to and this time I am extremely satisfied. What I love most about this app is the ease of entry. The timers are perfectly positioned and intuitive. It has all the exercises I need and good depictions of form. This app is so easy to use and I don’t have to think about it while I workout. The only nit I have, when doing exercises like
6. [R26] 5/5 · US Just Enough: Great app… let’s me record exactly what I want in an easy straight forward way!
7. [R3] 5/5 · US Best Workout Tracker: I have been using Strong daily since 2017 and because of its compatibility with my Apple Watch, I will go no where else. They have continued to develop the app and are quick with bug fixes. It has everything I can think of to track my workouts and progress. It is the main reason for me keeping my Apple Watch. I have the lifetime membership.
8. [R14] 5/5 · US Fantastic!: I have been using it for 9 months, I have 199 recorded workouts. It is really easy to navigate from my apple watch, I don’t need to use my phone when at the gym. Great to see the visuals on how to perform an exercise. I only wish it had a record for tracking the amount of perceived effort for each set. But, I tried many others, this is fantastic and have recommended it to many peop
9. [R25] 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
10. [R36] 5/5 · US Best strength training tracking app out there: It’s simple and intuitive and the Apple Watch interface is perfect for tracking my workouts in real time. Health integration is great, and you can export your data if you want. So glad I found this app.
11. [R41] 5/5 · US I am loving it: It’s a beautiful thing, this workout app. Simple interface but yet it’s so rich in experience. Wide library of exercises, provision of custom exercises, body measurement recording option, etc.
12. [R45] 5/5 · US GREAT!: Amazing app! One thing though: Many machines at different locations may vary in difficulty per labeled weight (different pulley configurations, grip, etc.) Users should be able to create custom, on device instances of the slight different machines, and label them accordingly.
13. [R12] 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
14. [R33] 5/5 · US Amazing: Been using the app for a long time. It’s so good that i am considering subscribing just because I feel bad for abusing the app for free.
15. [R47] 5/5 · US Amazing free app to keep track: I have been using it for a while. This app is very user friendly and easy to use. There are no annoying ads or processes. I love it. It has your history and it allows u to preform the workout again, meaning that if you have a set workout routine you do not have to re-enter every exercise each time. It also has built in timer so thats very convenient.
16. [R1] 1/5 · US It stinks now: It used to sync well with my watch. Not anymore. Almost useless.
17. [R5] 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
18. [R7] 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.
19. [R11] 4/5 · US Great App; Sync Needs Work: I’ve been using this app for years now and love it. It’s very helpful for keeping on track, calculating plates needed, and tracking stats over time. That said, the Apple Watch / Phone sync has become incredibly buggy since the last major update. I haven’t had a single workout since then where it’s worked correctly. I’ve tried all the recommended fixes, uninstalling/rei
20. [R29] 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
21. [R30] 4/5 · US Reliable and Effective, But Starting to Feel Stale: I’ve been using Strong for a few years, and it’s served me well. It’s helped me track my workouts, stay consistent, and keep myself honest so I could continue making progress. That said, the app hasn’t evolved much over the years. The UI feels a bit stale, and there haven’t been many meaningful new features added. As a result, I’ve decided to mo
22. [R43] 1/5 · US Slow updates, buggy as ***: I’ve been a strong user since ~2018. I like it, I really do. However there are *so* many bugs I run into *every single workout*. And it is infuriating to see that instead of fixing these bugs or improving the existing flow, y’all instead push an update to add …widgets!? The Apple Watch <-> iPhone sync engine is *terrible*. There’s literally no way y’all don’t know ab
23. [R21] 5/5 · US Good: Only thing is that they need to add more workouts. For example, stair master, straight arm pulldowns and diamond pushups all aren’t exercises already added.
24. [R99] 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?
25. [R110] 3/5 · US Okay: Decent at tracking workouts that exist. Very limited options to create custom exercises. And you cannot edit or delete them? What is this buffoonery?
26. [R17] 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
27. [R56] 1/5 · US Mediocre UI: UI is mediocre. Only 3 free templates and a $99 lifetime license. Get a $1 notebook and a box of pens. Your iPhone already has a timer. App is free otherwise to see the prebuilt templates.
28. [R62] 2/5 · US Templets: You should let people do more then three templets without the pro I know your trying to make money but like four not three you guys are just trying to take money from people
29. [R67] 1/5 · US Disappointed, buggy: Subscribed to PRO for multiple years. App is fairly straightforward but ultimately doesn’t offer much. Essentially it allows you to build workouts into templates using their library of exercises (templates are limited to 3 unless you sign up for PRO). Past that, it tallies metrics (how much you’ve completed of your workout, what that ends up being in pounds, running tally of
30. [R4] 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.
31. [R13] 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
32. [R23] 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
33. [R61] 2/5 · US Try a different app: I have been using this app for a few years. It’s been great for tracking my workouts and progression. Unfortunately since the last few updates where it’s run from the watch instead of the phone it’s become unreliable to use. - Rest timers not working consistently. - Various sync issues such as after completing a set, it unchecks it randomly. Entire workouts go missing som
34. [R18] 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.
35. [R37] 4/5 · US Great Workout Companion: I use this every time I lift since it makes it easy to track sets, weights, and reps. The UI with the Apple Watch and rest timer is a big seller, especially when compared to similar apps. 2 things on my wishlist for this app: 1. Interface/connection with Strava for wholistic tracking of activities 2. Muscle group use after workout with days for recovery for those groups
36. [R78] 2/5 · US Needs Garmin Access: I love the app but I love my watch more. I will be changing to a different one until they decide to unlock garmin capabilities
37. [R116] 2/5 · US Does this not sync to Strava… or any other app?: Seems to lack 3rd party connections. None of my workouts show up elsewhere. The app itself is good. But the lack of 3rd party connections is troubling… I guess I’ll be looking for something else. It connects to apple health but apple health is a joke so, yeah this app itself would be great if the work outs showed up on the place where I look at a
38. [R15] 1/5 · US Junk app: If you ever have to reach out to the developer team, know you’re in for zero help. This app has constant issues integrating with Apple Watch which, for a fitness app, renders it useless. Every time I reach out to support they just tell me to uninstall and reinstall the app. If that was going to work, don’t they think it would’ve worked the first time? They’re lazy and uninterested in mak
39. [R140] 2/5 · US Search is trash: The search function is stupidly restrictive If i want to log my incline press and i search up “dumbbell incline press” nothing will show up the correct way to search it up is “incline dumbbell bench press” everyone and their mothers would know what I wanted to log. The algorithm or search engine is so specific for no reason. if i search up “cable lateral raise “ i get nothin
40. [R31] 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.
