IRON Weight Lifting Tracker 4+

I like the simplicity of the app, and I love being able to see and track all my PRs of varying rep ranges, that’s extremely important to me. A few things to make it all better.
1. Improvised workouts: my training is mostly Bulgarian style, and usually I’ll workout multiple times a day with different exercises. There’s currently no way to start an improvised workout and choosing exercises on the fly, and no way to track multiple workouts in a day.
2. Logging more than 10 sets per exercise. Sometimes I’ll do an hour of just deadlifting, and I’d like to log more than just 10 sets at a time.
3. Delete some exercises. A lot of the preloaded exercises I’ll probably never do, and it just clutters up the screen and makes the exercises I want to do harder to find.
4. Add body weight to exercises like chin ups, dips, etc. Used in combination with added weight to get a “Total RM” and “Added Weight RM”
5. Make it easier to see other rep maxes. I like being able to see my list of rep maxes quick and easy, but I’d like a way to see other rep ranges maxes easily as well
6. Manually edit the main screen. Only being to view by heaviest and most frequent doesn’t allow me to see what exercises I’m tracking for that moment. All of my deadlift exercises vastly outweighs my pressing, even though I’d like to see my bench, deadlift, and squat front and center on the main screen.

I love the app. It’s great for tracking progress, and it’s super easy to add exercises that aren’t included in the lists already. Very simple and easy to customize to your schedule and routine. I like the idea, I like the developers, and I like that it’s significantly cheaper than competing apps.

My only problem: every time I open the app, I have to enter my Apple ID password. Every. Single. Time. Quickly swipe between apps to change music? Password. Lock phone when putting in in pocket? Password. Spotty internet connection at the gym? Password every time it reconnects to the WiFi.

I’ve typed my password in probably close to 100 times, and I’ve only worked out with this app 4 times. Doesn’t matter if you type it in, it’s going to ask again. Doesn’t matter if you click cancel, because in about 30 seconds you’ll get an “authentication failed” pop up and be asked for you password again. More than half of my time using this app has been typing in my password, and it’s not even remotely clear why, because it seems to function perfectly without an internet connection anyway.

Bottom line: my free trial ends on March 6th, and if the issue isn’t resolved by then I will have to cancel my planned purchase. As it stands, the app is basically nonfunctional. The developers wrote that this should’ve been fixed in the recent update, but 3 of my 4 workouts have been done since I downloaded the update and there has been no change at all.

Maybe I’m just not the sharpest knife in the droid, but at first the app was confusing to me. I think I’m getting the hang of it though. It is a beautifully designed app no doubt. The “login to iTunes” thing needs to be fixed ASAP. it’s incredibly annoying. Another for the developers thing that I think would be really god is if, I’m the workout section, when you tap on the exercise that you’re about to do and it shows sets and reps, if you could access the stats for that exercise within the workout folder, rather than needing to go back to the Page where you name is. That would make the app SOOOO much better in my opinion. I’ll probably end up buying the lifetime version because I’m working out harder than I think I ever have and I’m sore 😂. Good app, would recommend.
