Gym Tracker дневник тренирово‪к‬ 4+

100% worth it

I’ve been using this app since I got serious in the gym in the fall of 2021. I started using the free version and then once I hit the limit for tracked workouts, I went ahead and bought the full app. It’s user friendly and makes it easy to progressively overload every time you go to the gym, which is key. I really like the plotting feature to see progression over time, although it works best with basic workouts and is a little less intuitive for body weight lifts like pull ups. I wish there were more features related to cardio- for example, the information I can track on the stair climber is pretty limited, so I have to keep a note on my phone as well to make sure I am achieving more and more difficult workouts. I highly recommend this for people new to weightlifting because it also categorizes basic lifts by what muscles they target, so if you struggle to plan your workouts you can just select 3 or 4 from the app, google how to do the form, and there’s your work out.

Very simplistic - but not limited!

Overall: The app is the most intuitive compared to others I’ve downloaded. It lets me do exactly what I want - track my performance on certain exercises, and view my history of performance on each individual exercise when I want. The 5 star is because the app is truly perfect!

Small wins:
I enjoy the week to week view for my split. I also appreciate how easy it is to pull down for a full month view whenever you want. Starts simple, can become larger.
I like how accessible it is to write down your performance for each exercise - that is the function I will use the most and it is one press away (click the exercise - select the weight and reps).
It is a massive time saver to be able to save programs. I don’t have to select the same 5 workouts on every Tuesday. I just track my performance.
It also comes with premade exercise names, but you can also customize the names and some attributes of exercises.
Subscription price feels actually very reasonable. There’s 3 different subscription models to cater to different needs. That, combined with how well the developer considers feedback, makes me almost want to pay.

Big big thank you for such perfect review 🫶

Has exactly the features I needed and no more, but…

I wanted a simple graphical easy-to-use interface for use while in the gym to keep track of reps and weights for each exercise, organized by program, you know, quick touch and go while I work out. It provides that, with no extra feature bloat.

My complaint is that the user interface is inconsistent. For example, the gestures and commands used to close screens are different for different screens and not obvious. Same for saving something like a new exercises or program. It’s as if the developer never gave the app to some friends and asked them to use it for a few days, which frankly pisses me off and makes me want to look for an alternative rather than paying the subscription fee. Too bad.

I provide this feedback with appreciation for the otherwise good work and hope that the developer will read this review and do something about it.

Hello and big big thank you for your review. I definitely agree that there are many inconsistencies that I am going to fix 🙌

Just now I have submitted a new 2.0 version of the app to the App Store. With this update profile section of the app (which is quite misleading) will be deprecated and you will be able to edit exercises when adding them to your training day (please wait a bit while App Store moderators approve my update). Later on I am going to fix gestures and make them a lot more consistent 🫡
