Reps and Sets App Reviews

I still gave the app 5 stars, but theres a few features that can be added to make it perfect. Most of these are just for the OCD type: Ability to add to an exercise a L/R set, add a rest in between exercises (you have to add rest inside the exercise itself between sets), add image to your custom exercise, edit target muscle on custom exercise, but most importantly a timer that measure time elapsed/counts down during workout and that counts down the rest time and notifies with an alarm (circuit training).

This is a great app. It does everything that I want it to do - most importantly the ability to do supersets. It is very well thought out and very intuitive and easy to use. Highly recommend.

Ive tried several work out tracker apps and this is the best Ive seen. It has what you need (find exercises by muscle or body group, add custom exercises, rest timers, superset support, workout history with weights lifted, and charts to track your progress over time) and unlike some other apps it isnt bloated down with exercise demo videos. Its a solid app.

I almost never actually purchase apps, but I went out on a limb this time and could not be happier. I love that you can set timer alarms that will notify you so that I can keep the phone in my pocket as long as possible and speed up my overall time spent working out. I also love all of the collaborative diagnostic information that it gives you right on the front screen. As a senior kinesiology major its refreshing to have a scientifically correct weight lifting app. Theres so much bad info out there from people that have no business giving exercise advice so its nice to see the correct info within the app with agonists, antagonists, different functionalities, and proper anatomical diagrams. Knowing all of the pieces of the puzzle go a long way in making your workouts more effective!

Great app, easy to use both for planning workouts and in the gym. Feature request: when choosing exercises I would love a dynamic list of favorite exercises (e.g. Top ten most used).

I make very simple workout programs. Like 3 exercises each program with 3 sets a piece. When I go back to the program later, it has changed. In one specific instance, it replaced the other two exercises in the program with chin ups, which was the third. I didnt dislike the app, but because of this glitch it is unusable for me. Maybe it happens when I update the program after a workout. Also, the app maker needs to clean up some of the exercises. There are duplicates.

Been using the app for a little over a month, and it has not disappointed. Great interface, and great tracking options for custom workouts.

When you try to place measurements its only available in inches and the period doesnt work. So only whole numbers work. It looked promising. But theres still a lot of work left.

I’ve used Reps & Sets for about six months now, and I love all of it’s features. It’s clean, quick and it isn’t bogged down by overcomplicating things. As far as features, I would love the following features were added: 1: The ability to write notes about exercises. I occasionally will modify certain exercises, and I would like to be reminded via a small text note the next time I do that exercise. 2: Choosing weight with dumbbells can be confusing. It’s not clear whether it’s per arm, or total weight. It would be nice if this was noted. 3: Myfitnesspal integration 4: Cloud-based sharing, so I could see my workouts on different devices.

I was doing the StrongLifts 5x5 program for awhile and using their awesome app. Now I decided to switch up my program, but obviously the 5x5 program can only do one type of workout. I tried JEFit and Bodyspace and a bunch of others and they are all filled with bloat and ads and terrible user interface. This app does everything you need and its very clean user experience. I really hope they add in the ability to mark a missed rep or failed set and the ability to setup progressive overload rules or deload rules. That would make it PERFECT. But Im not complaining.. having to manage my own progressive overload isnt a big deal.. but I think a lot of users would pay for an in-app upgrade to unlock something like that.

Overly complicated. Takes too many taps to do basic things. Timer makes no sound, so its essentially worthless.

Exactly what I was looking for, beautiful displays & workout descriptions for each muscle. Easy logging for each rep & set. For the devs... Cloud saving, & a calorie counting formula for easy HealthKit integration, would be awesome!

This is one of the few apps that properly handle supersets and pairing exercises. The "TLC" that was put into this is clear- from the illustrations to even small touches like saving the rep count & weight when adding additional sets. Theres an astonishing level of attention to detail and other developers would do well to emulate their hard work.

Absolutely gorgeous app with amazing functionality. A must have!! As simple or as complex as you need it. Great attention to detail and perfect for gym or home exercises.

This app has really improved my workouts! Its super intuitive and easy to use. The UI is beautiful. So sleek and simple. Like someone else said it would be great to have it sync up with the HealthKit app and a calorie count estimate. Thatll get five stars from me.

From beginner to a bodybuilder this app is great. Really clean UI and awesome, easy to use features. Great job devs, keep up the good work!!!

Until I found this app, there were few apps that have scratched the surface of what I wanted in a gym app. This app blows the other apps out of the water. This app is well thought out and you can tell the developer really didnt cheap out on this. This app is worth every penny I spent on it. I would love HealthKit integration in the future. Thank you!

This is by far the best workout logging app I have ever used. Great interface and design, its easy to use and the timer functionality is a God send. I never workout without it and cant wait to see what is added when the apple watch drops next month. Keep up the good work guys.

I have been using Gym Buddy, which is an abandoned app from iOS 4 days because I have yet to find a suitable replacement. Finally I found this app and it does what it does well. It could use some UI streamlining in the areas of data entry for adjusting the weight and reps used during a workout. If the app didnt require a second tap or third tap to change the weight and reps it would be much better. So to be more specific, when you set up a workout, you can base it on what you did previously or add in a preset weight and rep number. Either way, if you end up doing a different weight or number of reps, then you must tap on that set, then tap the weight line and scroll to find the cute weight graphic (if it goes up high enough, which it doesnt about half the time which is really annoying because then you have to hit "Keypad" and delete the weight and type in a new one) then once you get the weight correct, its one tap to close the weight window and another tap to select reps, then slide to the rep number you want and tap it then tap back. This should be condensed to where a tap on the set brings up a simple entry for weight with a toggle tab or swipe to switch to reps and a single "done" button at the top. The other main feature that is missing is volume calculations. In the reports screen, you can select charts by programs but it is really worthless. It doesnt show you anything except the number of times youve completed that program and when the first and last dates were that you completed it. This screen should be more useful and show a complete list of every day you did this program along with the volume of each workout. You should be able to sort the list by date or by total volume so you can see if you are lifting more weight overall compared to other days. I have some other ideas too but these are the most needed at the time. Overall its a solid app and well designed.

I have been searching for an app like this for a long time that doesnt require some stupid subscription to a community. Things I love- the user interface is top notch. The app is very easy to use and has great visual appeal. The library of exercises is comprehensive and if you need to add something- its easy to do. Few things I am hoping the developers improve- make it quicker to add a set so you can get on with your workout. Right now there is just too many clicks. (Make it quick like fitlist, but keep your interface and functionality.) Apple watch support would be another great add.
