Beta Sale! (price will go up once kinks have been worked out and I finish some new features)
Strength is an Android app I designed to make it simple and easy for someone who's never lifted weights or done a squat before to get stronger. When I started lifting weights a few years ago, I had a hard time figuring out what I was supposed to do. What equipment should I use? Am I using the right form? How do I keep from hurting myself?
With Strength, I hope I can answer those questions for you. If you know what you're doing, you can set up your own custom program. But if you need assistance, I'll help you set up a program. Then you'll automatically be reminded when it's time for a workout. You'll be shown which lifts to do, and at what weight. If you don't know how to do a lift, there's a whole section with articles and videos describing the proper form. If you're having trouble with a lift, the weight will automatically be reduced until you can work back up. Finally there are interactive graphs showing how your lifts are progressing.

Can't begin a new workout. I set up, and finished one. Now the program just stays at the completed workout scteen. Not frozen, just won't let me do anything useful anymore.

After 2 workouts with Strength Lite I have finally ditched my trusty pen and paper and bought the full version. Thanks for the great work!

I emailed the dev over a month ago; I received no response. In addition to what was sent then, one glaring issue albeit editable, starting strength power clean is 5x3 not 3x5. I can't determine how to edit a load during a workout and have future workouts base loads off of it. I love the interface but you need to address some issues. At this point I'm using the SS wiki spreadsheet.

This app has a lot of potential, but it force closes too much. Developer never responded to email about problems. Cannot quit workout once it starts. Seems to have intermittent issues increasing weight.

I love it so far. Takes the guess work out of picking weights. If you can't squat (full 90 degree at the knees squat) over 300lbs then you should be on a simple barbell training program like this one. It is the best way to build muscle and burn calories! No point in wasting your time doing all those isolation exercises. I would like to see a few more features. Such as, ability to adjust warmup reps and % of work set, lifts as a %of body weight, and perhaps bodyweigt tracking. Keep up the good work!

You can't stop a workout once you start it, so make sure your weights are correct BEFORE starting your workout. You can't edit a workout once it's done nor can you DELETE a workout - this really sucks because if you accidentally start a workout, the only way to get out of it is to mark it as complete - you'll have bad data in your stat tracker. You can't adjust weights during a workout..and you can apparently only do one workout PER DAY. If the developer would clean up these and a few other issues, I'd give it 5 stars. I gave it one star because it just misses on so many points. I didn't bother trying to contact the developer because every other reviewer that said they've tried hasn't gotten a response - instead I'm posting the deficiencies here so you won't waste your $2.

Unresponsive developer. Cannot edit weight during a workout. Cannot change which workout you are doing if you inadvertently start the wrong one. definitely not worth paying for.

Just fix a couple things, like being able to change the warmup and switch weight during a workout, and I'll give it 5 stars.

Slick, clean app. Progression and stats are nice. Could use some tweaking, but I'm stoked to see how the dev can improve it!

Perfect app for tracking gains on a beginners program. I'll be using this for rippetoes starting strength. I also like the how to parts for newbies.

I really wanted to live this app but being unable to edit a workout after starting it or change the expected dates of upcoming workouts beforehand git so annoying that I stopped using the app. It stopped being more convenient than other apps or a notebook. Fix the editing and I will be back on board.
