July 2024: just want to start updating this review regularly to encourage continued support. App works great and no problem. Just don’t want it to be abandoned someday. Every once in a while I try another app, but always come back here. It’s simple, customizable, and solid.
This is, by far, my favorite gym app. Design is beautiful, easy to read, add exercises, workouts, etc. I’ve been using it for years and hope the dev continues to keep the app updated.
Heavy Set
Only complaint is I can only see how well my final progress is after the workouts are complete. I’d like to see sets, weight, and reps from previous workouts right along side the total volumes. As it is I have to finish the work out and go to the history to see one session against the last.
Nice app with great logging functionality!
Nice app!
Best workout app with one flaw
This app is amazing for tracking my workouts. It has everything you need and is very user friendly. My only issue with the app is the timer. I noticed when I switch apps the timer does not continue. So the only way to have the timer going is to stay on the app which is disappointing. Especially when I have a 3 minute rest period and I can’t switch apps during that time to keep my rest period consistent. I just ended up using the iPhone timer instead.
Hard to use
It’s very hard to navigate. Sorry
Best workout app for me
The generously sized controls and clear UI are great for using in a gym. Exporting workout data, backup, and importing programs via copy/paste from a text file is genius. Surprisingly deep feature set from a product maestro and who is also obviously a lifter. I’ve tried other apps but always come back to Heavyset.
Heavyset is easy enough to use straight out of the tin, but it would be great if there were a place the community could make the programs they’ve added for others to use.
Warning
11/7/23: This app suddenly started to continuously crash. After reinstalling, my purchase no longer worked and I’m being forced to buy it again. The developer hasn’t even updated the app in a year. They are trying to force money from people without working on the app. Stay away.
Love the app but would like one addition
I am not sure if the developer still works on this or not, but it would be nice to have to ability to create a pyramid (or inverse pyramid) type set. For instance- say it’s arm day. Using a set of dumbbells you do one rep curl, one rep hammer curl, two reps curl, two reps hammer curl, three… up to five. That would be ONE set. Do three sets of the above for arm day
Slow updates but a workhorse
This app handles what you need done in the gym. Those muscles are to a minimum it focuses on good charts one rep max calculator and rest timers. Sure doesn’t have fancy graphs like other ones or life widgets but it gets the job done. Super easy to build routines. Super easy to add reps and weight.
Was good until they updated
Was good until they updated the app to pause the music every time you LOG a set. App is useless now because nobody works out without music. 1 star
