  1. 4/5After last update subscription disappeared.

    App is great for powerlifting prep. However I paid for a lifetime subscription but it's not recognizing my subscription when moving from iPhone 15 to 17. Before it let's you in the app where it's the only place to contact the developer it makes you pay for a new subscription. Changed from 3 to 4. Was not obvious how to get passed the discover pro screen but top right get started text click did the trick. suggestion to add skip button on that last intro screen

  2. 5/5Update: New Update is Not Good

    UPDATE: I wanted to give a new review after Charles personally reached out to me via email to help out and hear my feedback. I appreciated him doing that alone but on top of his kind words and understanding, the review alone should be updated to showcase a developer really carrying about his users. Sounds like he’s implementing the changes a lot of folks have been writing about recently. While it may not be exactly how it was before, I will give it a shot and see how future updates come out. Thanks Charles for your kind reach out. I never write updates, and honestly this was a 5 star for me up until recently. Have been using this app since 2019. The update candidly just doesn’t work. Should’ve kept the app the exact same, the user interface is worse now, everything is slower, and now 3 workouts a month or spend $6/month? Too many competitors out there to deal with this. I would’ve rather you just put ads on the sides of the screen than get this charge. I get everyone is trying to make a buck and I used this for free for a while, but I will just move to another app now that doesn’t charge.

  3. 3/5Ruined a good thing

    I paid $3 one time for this app years ago and have hundreds, maybe a thousand workouts since. I am now locked out and need to subscribe to continue. $6/month is an insane price for a workout journal. No update they have planned, which no one is asking for, is going to justify that cost. I’m going back to pen and paper. Why do we have always have fix things that aren’t broken? Edit: I figured out how to get past the subscription nag. You have to press restore purchases in the settings. It’s really not obvious and not sure why it doesn’t automatically check. Doesn’t help new users though.

  4. 5/5Everything you need for 5/3/1...at a price. IODATE

    A good, well thought out app for 5/3/1. Enter your 1 rep max and the app will lay out the program for you. However, it doesn't appear to follow the 5/3/1 programs we all know (Boring but big, trivium, etc) rather it allows you to pick clusters of exercises named things like "big muscle" or "big and dumb." The app will tell you how much weight to put on the bar while you're resting. It also has a built in timer. The interface is nice and simple, pretty straight forward. My only gripe is the price. Maybe it's because I've purchased so many fitness apps in the past, but $10 seems steep for the upgraded version. I sat on it for a few days and ultimately did it. Well worth it in my opinion, however I would've purchased it instantly for $5 and quicker for 7. UPDATE: Given how long ago I wrote this review and how the norm has shifted to subscription based models, I would gladly pay the one time fee for this app.

  5. 5/5Update now requires membership

    Update: my past purchase was restored and the developer reached out to me. Thank you for the support and transparency. I have updated my review back to 5 stars. Just recently updated the app and I was super excited about it because they added the ability to add new exercises, but I’m extremely disappointed. I’ve used this app for years and I’ve really enjoyed it but with the new update you cannot continue with cycles or workouts unless you have a monthly membership, annual membership or and get this: buy the app for $150. Looks like I’ll be using a different app to follow my 531 protocol. I understand that you want to make money, but this is such a drastic change from what I had before. It was shocking. I’ll give the app three stars just because it’s provided value for several years, but I’ll definitely be uninstalling this app and moving on to a different one.
