Solid simple app, 50# gain in one cycle
I have been using the app for Smolov Sr, after the retest week when checking the box for completing a lift if the app is closed and reopened the weights change. If the box is subsequently unchecked, app closed and reopened the weights revert back to original. Have sent an email into support not sure if this is a known issue.
If you work it, It works!
This app got me up to 285 lbs. bench by simply following what it recommended I workout with based solely from my max. I'm 50, & this crazy app got me up to a one rep max of 285 lbs.
I would be at 315 by now had I not quit. This app works great but you have to be patient & let your muscles recover!
Awesome app
Totally worth
Great app for strength building
I have used this program for the last 2-3 years and it has been the simplest and most personalized program I’ve been on. (That’s free) My one thing I’d like to see is for it to be broken down into body parts. i.e. arms, legs, etc. it gets a little lengthy for me and the organization it currently has gets a little rough. Thank you again for a great program! I tell everyone I work with and see in the gym about it!
Handy
Great overall, but all the resources I viewed mentioned a 20 pound and then 30 pound increase during the base cycle, but the app only calculates a 5 pound incremental increase.
Just what I was looking for!
I have been searching for a convenient way to calculate my smolov weights and this fits the bill perfectly. Super easy to use. Great app!
Old session gone.
Love the app but just letting you know the update wiped out my current session. Fail.
I apologize!
I left a review that this app charged me $6 instead of .99. It was an Apple iTunes error not the app it's self!
Well..
I like the app. But I don't like an update that deleted the 6 cycles that I have completed and the 13 week cycle that I was 1/2 way trough.. Geez guys!
Bug exterminated
I'll give them credit. They fixed the bug and I got my program back from memory. Still hesitant to rely on this app, but I like it. I'll keep paper copies of my program handy just in case.

It was Great. What happened??
App was great. It got my 1 rep max up by 70 Lbs in a month. But then it got “updated” and now the calculations are off and it leaves all the sets i have to do at the same weight! Really frustrating. Other friends with this app had the same issue
Wrong Calculations
The app does a good job calculating based off percentages of your inputted 1RM. However, it does not add the 20 and 30 pound increases during the intermediate phase of the program (weeks 4 and 5). It only goes up by the increment you set app (5-10lbs).
One trick pony
I wish it had boxes to check after each set like the StongLifts app.
It’s okay
App is great. One thing I hate is that when I try to complete my workout it would completely shut off and it won’t keep the check mark by my complete set it will reset everything
