“When you ​open HeavySet you'll find most everything is made just to delight you.

“Let's start with data entry. The buttons are just where they need to be and big enough not to miss even with shaking legs — or hands. What's more, you typically only have to tap once to log a set; HeavySet's smart predictions have already accomplished the, umm, heavy lifting.”


IN-APP PURCHASE:

HeavySet is a free download but you will need to make an in-app purchase upgrade to get access to unlimited use. As a non-paying user you are limited in the number of times you can perform the routines you input. Routines created by importing, duplicating or other automated methods are also not available. Non-paying users may improvise as many workouts as they like.

APPLE HEALTH:

- Enable Apple Health to sync your body weight with your workouts for additional statistics as well as sharing your workout data with Apple Health.

What’s New

Version 2022.1.1

Holy moly, it’s a HeavySet update!

While the update process should be fine, I recommend that before updating to the latest version you create a backup of your data in the Settings > Import, Export & Manage Data section. It may also be worthwhile sharing all your routines to ensure these are not lost. While the database has not changed since the previous version, the library that is used has had many significant updates.

Changes:

- Added a new import from text screen.
- Added new data deletion and statistics reset options to Settings > Manage Data.
- Added new menus to routine rows accessed by long press.
- Moved support tab items to Settings tab.
- Moved exercises to tab bar.
- Changed minimum iOS version to iOS 14.
- Changed theme to use system Dark Mode controls as well as previous overrides.
- Changed custom popups. Now replaced with standard system popups.
- Changed routines to warn when reaching 26 exercise limit rather than crashing.
- Changed rows in Settings > Trash to better represent what they are.
- Fixed trashed routines appearing in exports and folder picker screens.
- Fixed two editors opening at once issue.
- Fixed exercises getting saved as skipped when editing routine for all future workouts.
- Fixed support bubbles.
- Fixed and reinstated auto trash feature.

Great way to track workout progress

Have only been using the app for a few days, however, already found it to be an indispensable aid in logging my workouts and tracking progress. Happily parted with previously used pen and paper.

Appreciate the nice little touches like the plate calculator and adjustable volume of the audible alert.

A few crashes here and there; usually associated with adding new exercises or new volumes. Not a huge deal but certainly would be nice to get rid of.

My wishlist for future enhancements is the ability to:
1) Copy exercises within the same routine and to other routines
2) Emphasise supersets by colour or in any other meaningful, more obvious way. Current indexing method of exercise naming such as A1, A2 or B1, B2 can be easily overlooked on a small screen or seem confusing, especially when brand new routines are being trialled.

Best lifting app

It takes a little to get used to, not automatically intuitive. However once you get used to it it is an amazing product. I’ve used many different paid and free workout apps and this one is by far the best.

I’ve read the negative reviews here and I disagree with most of them. The last one stated you can’t change the weights mid workout - yes you can. Or people complaining it doesn’t track body weight routines well - it’s a weightlifting app.

Would love to see a max 1 rep, not just based off the current weight, and to be able to choose percentages- for example 70% of your 3rep max.

Best app on the market

I’ve tried every app, excel spreadsheets, books, printed templates… you name it. I keep coming back to this app! So easy to use and provides enough data to track effectively. It’s a fine balance to get something smart and easy but not too complex and time consuming and I feel that this app has hit the nail on the head. 💪🏻
One suggestion for a future improvement is to include the ability to track warm up sets v working sets (a symbol for example) as well as drop sets, rest pause etc
