Great app. Takes a little learning, but the basic functionality is a game changer for making it really easy to stick to a workout routine. Instructional videos are great. So nice to have the weights all figured out for me and to be able to effortlessly track progress.
I change the defaults in the settings dor plates, progression weight and it keeps going back to the app default. Been doing it for almost a month now.
I genuinely love the Starting Strength program. I own both the blue book and Practical Programming and after less than six months following it I was hoping the app would make my intermediate progression on Press more manageable with some sort of template. At quite a steep cost; this app seems to have been built by someone with a largely different view of the program than I've been led to believe by Mr. Rippertoe, with rest being less than 2 minutes and other weird quirks. Wouldn't recommend.
Somewhat functional, but bugged. All I want is to go into the app and have it figure out that since I did the press last time, I need to do the bench today. Instead I have to manually set the second exercise every time. It's also as other reviewers have noted, slow and occasionally unresponsive. Data storage should be local first, not cloud first, and the app should opportunistically sync. Second star for functioning well enough as a weight calculator.
Enjoy the starting strength program, but this app is barely in life support. I can "log" a workout but it doesn't save anywhere. I can't see the progress being made. Doesn't swap to the next workout properly. Keep losing settings for units and the plates I have available. $15 lost, time to find a better app.
