Barbell Calculator for Android
Nice and simple, as it should be. My only recommendation for improvement would be that it automatically go into the number pad when entering the weight.
When you type in a value, the regular keyboard comes up instead of the number one. It would be nice if when it gives you results it also gives you when you typed in. A slider would be best to change values.
Nice simple app. The plate weight numbers are too small to read for us older guys. Along with showing the type of plates to use, maybe it can also show a numeric value e.g. 45 x 1, 10 x 2, etc.
Working great
As everyone else has said, this app needs a number pad. Tapping the barbell to enter weight is cute, but really not necessary. What are you going to do besides enter weight? The first screen should show the blank for the weight to be used and a number pad. As it is, you tap the barbell, tap the number pad button on your keyboard, tap the blank to re-select before you can enter weight. Also, the weight should be displayed after it is entered (next to the barbell.) I like the gui, but the workflows are pretty clunky. Fix them and it's an easy five stars and something I'd be happy to shell out a few bucks for as even with the flaws I use it every time I go to the gym. Too early for math!
Like the users below said, the ap needs a number pad
This application makes it a whole lot easier to do the math when you are working out. I think it definitely needs a number pad that way you don't have to push as many buttons to enter your weight. It also needs to include options as to what size bar you want to use and it should also include 100 pound plates.
After using it for awhile, there are 2 or 3 things this app needs: A numeric keyboard, Display the weight entered, & Numeric count of the plates.

Why no kilos? And bars for different sports have different weights.
Needs to show numeric values alongside the images of the weights. Also should show total weight entered.
Functional but clunky. Needs text output, not hard to read graphics.
Does what it does.
The weights are shown on a graphic bar as colors, which you have to reference on a legend. A little tough for us color blind/deficient.
