Liftin' - Gym Workout Tracker

I really like the simplicity of the app. It suits the 5x5 programme that I’m starting back up on. I used it today and instantly bought the year subscription. The only thing I’d like to see is maybe for the app to feature a calendar showing the future workouts and the workouts already completed.

I have to give credit where credit is due. The simple nature of this app is what makes me WANT to use it and therefore be more consistent with my lifting regimen. I have been a weightlifter on and off for 10 years. I don’t have aspirations to be a professional bodybuilder or competitor, I only lift for myself. Is this app my ideal app for lifting? No. There’s a few small features I wish I could have (emphasis on small; because I want to retain the simplicity of the app) however it’s the closest thing I’ve found and I’m really enjoying it. Even the option to switch the app icon from light to dark on your home screen is a nice touch! A lot of other “workout” apps don’t solely focus on lifting and even the ones that do, they all have too many features which most of us won’t even use. Those apps cater to people who’s lives revolve around the gym and are training for the Olympia, not to mentioned the constant intrusive ads that render using the app impossible. I also don’t like to or want to track literally every movement I do in the gym. I just need something simple to track the BIG exercises - Bench Press, Deadlift and Squats to begin with, with a few other major lifts. If you’re like me, then I highly recommend this app

I am enjoying Liftin’ as it works perfectly with my Apple Watch, enabling me to leave my phone at home during my workouts....Until I got to the gym for my 6th workout and couldn’t use the app because I didn’t upgrade yet. I would have been happy to do so (and have upgraded it now), but since I didn’t have my phone I had to leave the gym and grab it to update. For me and, I suspect is the case for many users, this is likely the first time they are tracking their workouts and have little knowledge in their head about measurements or workout cadences, and need the app to guide them. It would be nice if you offered a warning or notification prior to simply shutting down. I almost didn’t subscribe, but I appreciate the simplicity and effectiveness of this app.

I’ve been using Liftin’ to track a barbell focused routine for ~2-3 weeks (through the beta). It was easy to setup my program through the app. It handles simple cases fast, while still letting you drill further down, if needed. During the workout, it kept me on track with my rest periods and also tells me what weight I needed to setup next. On top of that, the developer has been pretty fast in responding to feedback. Just about everything I want. Worth giving a shot for weight based exercise.

I’ve tried a bunch of fitness tracking apps, specifically for weight training and none comes close to this. Especially considering how the dev keeps adding new features and making subtle changes to make the entire experience even better. 11/10 would recommend!
