Big Lifts 2 for Android
This is a good app for 531 and a few of it's varients but there have been a lot of changes to 531 over the years and this app hasn't been updated since 2015. Also FSL multiple sets should be 5x5 not 6x5. I don't know of the developer has ditched this or what but it could be the perfect 531 app.
Its really nice cause everything u need is already built in, and sets you up, but make sure u follow the lifts exactly,straying from the any part of the workout might change results substantially
Best 5/3/1 app out there, would be great to get a Boring But Big option for assistant lifts.
Great ap, good flexibility for 5/3/1 variations and assistance. Having the ability to set different bar weights for each lift would be my only suggestion.
Ever considered adding automatic volume/intensity results per training day?...
Loved it
New to 5/3/1. This app is perfect for it.
Great app with few details I'd add. - Change Joker Sets percentages. I think now it's 10%, 5%, 5% and so on. I think we should be able to choose our own percentages - Adding alternate lifts for BBB would be nice, i.e. doing deadlift on squat day and vice versa, and press on bench day and vice versa - Making it possible to do First Set Last Set with Joker Sets as well and adding alternate lifts as well The last two can be configured through assisstance but it would be nice to have it automatically. Also, havin automatic increase for 6-weeks plan would be nice because at the moment the weights are the same for 2x3 weeks.
I have over 1200lb in total of all 4 movements. The app works well on my galaxy note 2
I was a huge fan of the iPhone version. I came to android and I do miss ui from iPhone version of the app. It seems way better and had more assistance variations
About two months ago it started taking forever to open. Usually it takes between 2-3 minutes just to load the app
Simple, easy, and free like it should be
I use this day in day out and love it! So easy to use! & the customer service from the developer is literally 2nd to none! My only gripe is that you can only back up your history, but not the rest of the app. I broke my phone and on my new one I had no 1RM or training maxes, the phone didn't know where i was up to in the cycle, and all my bar loading and preferences were gone. It would be so much better if everything backed up so you could get right back on track!! Otherwise an AMAZING app! Well worth it.
Fix this or it stays at 1.
Only downside is bringing up to material design, but that is purely aesthetic. 5/5
Great app defo helped build my strength gave my workouts structure . I know what I'm going in to do , no messing about no sitting on a bench on bookface like a lil phag. Get in get it done. Even tells you what plates to put on for all u kants that can't count. Buy it !
The new look and feel is good, but it doesn't automatically ask for number of reps on the 5+ set. They're were in Big Lifts Pro so would be good to see then come back. Storage in Drive would be good too. Also dates are fixed US format
Is it possible to incorporate the boring but big assistance (50% 60% 70%) and add more assistance as well to it.

App is very functional but in the last two weeks crashes too often. Can you fix this? Thanks !
I have had this app for years but lately I have not been able to use it for starting strength and it crashes a lot. Will you fix this or let us download Big Lifts 2 Pro for free?
Too many problems to list. What a disaster!
This version seems slower
Good app
Copied the log file from my nexus 4, to my s6, it's in the documents big lifts folder, but when I hit import it just crashed the app. Otherwise the app works well
Everything in this app works great except for the rounding it wont let me change it to nearest 5 and if I do it changes the setting when I try and save my changes
Installed it. Paid for the unlocked menus. Didn't get unlocked menus. 'Nuff said. UPDATE: 2 days later all features unlocked. Which means that if I wanted a refund (which I don't) the option isn't option to me - needs this remedied.
Works great for me.

I purchased the unlock menu twice and I still could not unlock the other menus!please fix or I'll will have to Uninstaller since it is not working properly.
I've purchased the full version. It's features align with exactly what I need, however, it has huge flaws that need to be ironed over before charging users can be justified. The app frequently fails to save or otherwise track my numbers from my routines even after I made sure everything was marked as "Done", resulting in a regressive loss of information. I could easily double up with a pen and paper record, but that would defeat the purpose and primary draw of the app. This is an Alpha, not a release.

Would like to be able to pick more than just one variation, like first set last and joker set's.
I love the app except for the menu not being unlocked after I paid
Everything you need to run 531

Best 531 app out there.
In the old app, I could edit the amount of reps I did. This one only gives me a suggestion of say, 6 or 10. Will that be changing anytime soon?

Really cool. Love the automatic increasing after a cycle. However, clicking on the rest complete advert erases all of the progress for that workout and after a couple of months it gets incredibly laggy. Sometimes the sets are slow to update when changing the rep number as well.
