I needed to implement a lifting program that gave me the the flexibility to focus on what is important to me and work within my constraints. I only wanted to squat, deadlift, bench, and overhead press as to keep workouts at maximum of an hour. I didn’t want a 16+ AMRAP set and preferred to do doubles and triples that I could put some intensity behind. This app allowed me to implement such a program. Now I’m in the gym regularly, have fun moving some relatively heavy weight, am done in an hour, and feel fresh the next day. If my goals change or I need to make adjustments I know this app will allow me do that. This app is perfect for those that want or need more control over their workout programs. I think that without this app weightlifting would be something I “used to do.” I honestly feel that it’s allowed me to keep lifting and that is a wonderful thing.

Very cool app, super flexible, it I’m running into issues with saving changes I’ve made to my current workout. I changed my warm-ups from percentages to hardcoded weights and save them but the next day the warm-ups were back to percentage. Also, why does it throw an error when I want to have a different warm-up for squats on week two versus week one. Since my second week is heavier, I was wanting to program in an additional warm-up set. Otherwise, I’ve loved the app and the programming ability so far. Keep it going.Update: this was my user error! I wasn’t clicking “apply” prior to saving. Updated my review to 5 stars. Love the continued app support and improvements.

This may be the only lifting app on the market that allows you to create any program you want and for that reason I have to rate it a step above the rest. The developer is also extremely active in fixing and improving the app and is easy to contact in his discord server. The only thing missing from this app that other lifting apps have is Apple Watch support which for some is no big deal, but personally I hate being on my phone in the gym and being able to mark off sets on the watch would make this app perfect. Still give it a 5 stars because there is no lifting app better.

This app is superb, but perhaps even more excellent is the developer’s engagement in the community.While there is probably room for improvement in the documentation (simplification in some areas, organization of ideas) reading through the documentation page in its entirety will give you all the information you need to make your desired workout in the app.For those who do not want to go through personally setting up, there are many popular programs already implemented.The exercise library is good, with ways to add custom exercises that exceeds what I have seen in other apps.

I’ve tried multiple workout trackers over the years but this app has been the best. As some reviews point out, it takes a bit of patience to learn but it is well worth the small investment of time. Moreover, it’s one of the few apps that includes a lifetime purchase model in an era defined by an over reliance on subscription models. Finally, the developer is constantly improving the app in great ways. This app deserves far more attention than it is given.

Liftosaur will make your lifting at the gym or at home easier and more efficient. Use any program you like- start with one of the many built-in options or crew your own program using Liftoscript. Endlessly flexible and adaptable to your needs. Progressive overload is managed by the app and you can track progress using the built in charts and exercise history. Download today and discover why Liftosaur is the GOAT of workout apps!

One workout and already bought a lifetime subscription. Markdown workouts and a huge library of exercises. Totally worth the money if you’re coming from another app or notes app tracking. Also, having the ability to purchase a lifetime subscription is amazing - other apps forcing you into a monthly charge is ridiculous and I will always support a dev who makes open source software.

Amazing if you’re someone who enjoys the nerdier side of lifting and wants full control over your program. If you’re looking for a simple tracker, this probably is more than you need, but even for that it’s pretty close to other simpler apps. And with Liftosaur, once you’re ready to up the level of customization, you’ll be able to do that without a big learning curve.

I have used this app consistently for three years. It’s actually a really good app. However the issue is the developer is constantly updating the app like it feels like once a week so it crashes often. Now it wants to sync with my iphone health app which I approved it for. But it won’t sync and has to tell me it can’t sync multiple times while I am working out. I wish the developer would just leave the app alone. None of the improvements have helped anything. The app was perfect three years ago!

Couple weeks into using this app while taking a look at other options such as StrengthLogs and Boostcamp.I like the idea of a lifting app for coders, but the ease of use in the other two apps listed above is just so much more convenient for things as simple as adjusting the amount of weight/reps you did for a specific exercise during a workout.The fact that they have a dark mode and this app still doesn’t is also another thing thing that made me switch over.The nail in the coffin was at random times, the app refuses to load and will remain stuff on the startup screen with wifi, without wifi, etc. until I delete the app and reinstall it which became really annoying to have to do when I’m already at the gym expecting it to work as intended.Overall it is promising but not for me.
