Gym Notes For Beginners 4+

Solid workout tracker – needs a few improvements!

I’ve been using this app for ~two years. I love how minimal the interface is — I really just need a simple way to keep track of my progress and create my own routines without using the Notes app.

I’m a huge fan of the streak tracker, the calendar, the visual line graph for each workout, and the widgets. The app has greatly helped me to stay on track, and I’m glad this app takes advantage of each new iOS update feature set.

There are a few bugs that keep this app from being perfect, however. As of the update that added iCloud syncing, every workout entry I input automatically creates a duplicate. I find myself having to delete the duplicate every single time. This issue has persisted even after deleting and reinstalling the app.

I also find that scrolling through previous entries in a workout causes the screen to lock up/freeze during the scrolling animation, disallowing me from interacting with the screen until the animation completes.

With these bugs ironed out, this would be the perfect workout tracker.

App is great, want to be able to pre-plan workouts

Hey, I love this app! Congratulations on being solo dev and launching this. I also appreciate that you won’t steal my data like Strong does. The biggest draw to this for me was the privacy and the fact that it works with Watch. If you added a feature that allows me to pre-plan workouts I’d happily pay monthly for this app. For example: Being able to enter a full 6-week plan, day-by-day, with reps and sets it would be very helpful. My biggest pet peeve is carrying my phone at the gym. Strong removes this need for me by allowing me to see my workout progression for a given day and log it all on the watch. Strong does this very well and especially so with their Apple Watch integration for real-time tracking. Please check it out and think about building that in the next release. Your app is faster, has a better UI/UX, and has a privacy bonus - if done right, I feel certain you could make a splash and really take this to the next level. As said, I’d happily pay monthly for your app, or a bigger annual payment if it gave me those features I love in Strong, but without stealing my data. Nice work, I bought this version, keep going please!

Thank you for your kind words and your support! I would love to develop the watch app further. I agree that, for now, it's very simple but I will try to improve it as soon as I can :) I will have a look at your suggestions and see what would work best for Strongify, thanks again!

Great Simple App for Tracking Progress

I’ve been looking for sometime for a simple app to replace my pen and notebook when tracking my Weight lifting workouts. This app is perfect and gives me easily viewable charts of my progress. The app actually has more functions than I use, but the extra functions do not get in the way of using the most basic functions of this app. Other exercise apps get way too complicated with pre-selected workouts, exercise demonstrations, meal tracking, and a lot of other additional functions that I did not want or need. Other apps also have additional Purchases that you have to make within the app to get the Full functions. Not this app!! If you’re looking for an app with simple inputs that will not take up a lot of additional time to Record your weight lifting sets and will easily show you your progress over time, this is your app. Thanks for the great, simple workout tracker.
