Good implementation of the starting strength programme, but considering the price, there's a couple of obvious oversights: 1. The calculator for what plates to put on should take the whole progression into to minimise the number of plates you add and remove 2. The auto rest period timer is good but it doesn't work between the last warmup set and first work set 3. If you change target weight during a workout (eg to deload after failing a set) it sends you back to the first warmup.

This is not a rating of the Starting Strength program, which is excellent. This is a rating of the app. The app is great, overall, and guides the through the exercises well. There are a few bugs, however, and places where the experience could be improved. I have notice a few things, but because of the char limit I will mention one small annoyance. If I am looking at another app on my phone, the exercise timer will send a Push notification when it's done. But I have to click it twice.

I genuinely love the Starting Strength program. I own both the blue book and Practical Programming and after less than six months following it I was hoping the app would make my intermediate progression on Press more manageable with some sort of template. At quite a steep cost; this app seems to have been built by someone with a largely different view of the program than I've been led to believe by Mr. Rippertoe, with rest being less than 2 minutes and other weird quirks. Wouldn't recommend.

While I believe that Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength is a good program, this app is not a good representation of said program. It is not intutive and simple enough to use. If I just finished my last set of squats, and I click the "next rep" button, why doesn't it take me to the next exercise? Why am I forced to click on the menu on top? Why do I have to tap the phone, to silence the countdown timer, once it hits 0? Why not just make it beep 3 or 5 times? Why do I always have to again every time I turn on the app to backup my data? Why are there like 4 or 5 buttons on the workout screen, all of them with different options? The only thing on my workout screen should be my exercises (sets and reps), weights and a timer. All the extra options and settings, just keep them in a separate menu. Why does the app respond terribly to landscape mode? Why is there even a landscape mode, when it's not even needed in the first place? Stronglifts is a complete ripoff of Starting Strength, but their app is simple and intuitive to use. That's a big reason why its such a successful app and you can't keep up with your competition with apps like these. Keep it simple.

Good things cost money. This app gives you everything you need to start weight training except the equipment (which you can buy from the app or find a gym in your area). The UI is clean with some minor scaling issues on my phone and easy to navigate. The instructions for each exercise is provided in 3 ways. You get access to articles on nutrition, habits and can connect with others through a forum. The best part is that Starting Strength is based hard science.

Somewhat functional, but bugged. All I want is to go into the app and have it figure out that since I did the press last time, I need to do the bench today. Instead I have to manually set the second exercise every time. It's also as other reviewers have noted, slow and occasionally unresponsive. Data storage should be local first, not cloud first, and the app should opportunistically sync. Second star for functioning well enough as a weight calculator.

This app is kinda falling apart. I restored my old data just fine, but a lot of changes don't seem to "take" Changing the plates I had available, changing current weight, workload etc. All required several attempts and app restarts. Now, when I try to change the day of a workout from today to yesterdays date, it won't let me put 2021 (or 21) as the year lol. Clicking the email/bug report does nothing for pixel 3a s, lets me copy a header, but no email address. This app used to rule

if you are doing the Starting Strength Linear Progression you are in better hands than a notebook. The plate calculator is especially helpful (for me at least). Timer is an outstanding function. I don't have any major complaints about this one for you guys. If you're just looking for a workout app it will probably confuse you until you figure out the program it is desogned to fit.
