RepCount - Gym Workout Tracker 4+

Game Changer

I’m 5 months into without missing a single day at the gym and I attribute it to this app. This app is was/is a game changer for me. I used to just wing my weights and never could commit to progressive overload because I didn’t have a good system of tracking. I looked into different options and the simple yet complex UX design of this app is amazing. You can tell the developer studied every move of the customer journey. I could easily jump in and use this app without having to understand all the layers of it. I started with the free version for two months and it was perfect. Once I was lifting more I wanted to see my progress so I purchased it. When you purchase it, the statistics and tracking make lifting much more motivating. This app adds accountability and an element of structured fun that makes follow through more attainable. I will never not use this app.

I would love a way to have plate counting element on the app because if I’m not in this app I’m using my calculator. Probably not necessary but fun to consider!

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much Kathryn! I do get a lot of requests for a plate calculator, especially from U.S. users. It is definitely a feature that is in the back of my mind for a future update, even though is is always hard for me to say exactly when new features gets added.

App good (...fire bad)

I checked out a handful of similar apps and found this one to have the best mix of simplicity, data tracking, customization. I like that a given workout is laid out as one straightforward page, so you don’t have to go in and out of each exercise while you’re logging them. I also like that the your history is readily accessible from within an active workout, which makes progressive overload a lot easier. It’s easy to look at the statistics for a variety of useful factors over different time scales (volume per workout, volume per muscle group or specific exercise, number of reps or sets per X, etc). I could nitpick a few minor things (it’s crashed a couple of times, without losing anything), but it’s a very solid, smartly designed app that I expect to rise in popularity, especially since the developer is responsive to feedback and always improving it.

Great app but has space for improvement

I love the simple UI of it and how straight forward it is. Easy to use and logging a workout in is a no brainer. I love the fact that you can add your own exercises to the app as well which is very useful and gives you freedom to expand your workouts. 2 major things that I believe could use some fixing. 1: Their is no option to add exercises into supersets and tri-sets. Extremely vital in my workouts. Makes it more tedious to add in reps and weight per exercise. 2: After you finish the workout theirs really no clear “End workout” option to show that you finished your workout. It’s sort of left open. Just as their is a start button, their should be a end option to automatically log in your end time for the workout. Other than that, it’s a great app. Have no complaints! Keep up the good work guys!

Super Sets is one of the most highly requested features, so it is certainly something that will be added in a future update. If you click the end time it will automatically fill in the current time. I did experiment with having a finish button instead of the home button at the top right, but based on beta tester feedback I had to remove it. Hopefully I will find another way.
