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.

Perfect For Me

I am a dedicated bodybuilder and require accurate tracking for overload and progression. This app is perfect. I am self coached and the app makes it very easy to modify/create plans. It also allows for easy changes mid workout to accommodate for changes in machine/exercise. On top of that you can create movements for different body parts to track similar movements across different machines, ie you can have two leg press options for different brands.
I also love the fact that it shows my previous weight used, which you can change to show for the last time you did that exercise in general, or the last time you did it on that session type. Overall fantastic app that had a lot of thought put into it. Have been tracking for well over a year and wish I had sooner.
