Love the theme variety as someone who is aesthetically motivated by the app choices available. I really enjoy the simplicity of how everything is mapped and the overall navigation is pretty intuitive. I tried heVy previously but honestly preferred this interface and customization aspect over that. Comes with a lot of the same perks and I like that there's a permanent option should I decide I want full dedication to the app vs only subscription. Great job devs please continue to improve this app and I hope it takes off against the competitors!
Developer Response
Thanks so much Mao, means a lot to me! I won't dissappoint, and will keep improving the app!
Promising

I love the simplicity and layout of the app, I like all the different themes as well. I have been following one of the pre made programs and overall the functionality is there. Prior to the most recent update, the app was slow and would freeze during a workout. This improved with the latest update but not completely. I still have to wait roughly 5 seconds until I can log a set. Also, the plate calculator isn’t working, or at least I have not been able to figure it out. I’m still testing out the app, so my rating is subject to change. I like the app and after everything is smoothed out it could be one of my favorites. Thanks for the free lifetime sub.
Developer Response
Amazing, glad you like it. Because of your comment I took another long and hard look at what might have been going wrong, and I think I found it. I also made the plate calculator work with imperial units correctly. I am hoping these fixes will release in the next coming week! Thank you for the valuable feedback, and for being one of the founding users.
Heading the right direction!

This app has been great so far! I love its simple design, with no intrusive ads, but don’t let the simple design fool you, it is packed with great features!Some minor issues I did encounter:1) I can’t figure out how to reorder exercises in a template that I have built2) The A.I. feature for importing templates can be a little buggy, often failing, without giving any reasons why
Developer Response
Thank you for the positive review! It's great to hear you appreciate the simplicity and the features behind it. You should be able to reorder exercises with a long tap on the group. The AI can occasionally suggest exercises that aren't available in the app yet. Thank you for flagging this, it will be addressed in the next update!
Absolutely awesome

No overuse of AI, lets you make proper custom plans easily. Only thing missing is an iPad version.
Developer Response
Thank you! An iPad version is definitely something I'm looking into.
