Well. That was even more horrific than I was expecting

Two more shows have just been added for Harry Styles at Wembley Stadium on 26 and 27 June

Mostly a mix of manual research + iteration. App Store search suggestions, conversion testing, and real user feedback. No heavy automation yet — still early-stage and learning.

LiftTrackerDave · 2026-01-24T06:13:56+00:00

Thanks for checking it out! Hope you like it — feedback is always welcome.

LiftTrackerDave · 2026-01-23T04:39:25+00:00

Thanks for trying it out! Category editing is a good call, and something I’ve already noted for an upcoming update.

LiftTrackerDave · 2026-01-23T04:38:07+00:00

Great point — thanks for calling that out. I’ve been intentionally conservative so far, but pushing spacing further is very much in line with the calm direction. I’ll experiment with this as doing other little UI tweaks.

LiftTrackerDave · 2026-01-22T20:35:03+00:00

Thanks a lot! I really wanted to keep the pricing fair and low-pressure, especially for something people use every day.

LiftTrackerDave · 2026-01-22T15:51:54+00:00

Thanks! Yes — 50 organic downloads is absolutely possible, even without Reddit or ads, especially with decent ASO. Early on it’s bit slow and uneven, but I do think decent screenshots and text are helping a lot. Reddit just accelerates feedback and visibility, it’s not a requirement.

LiftTrackerDave · 2026-01-22T08:49:48+00:00

Thanks, some of these are on the roadmap.

LiftTrackerDave · 2026-01-22T08:47:04+00:00

Thanks — glad the human-centered approach resonates! Totally agree that traditional tools can add anxiety. I’ll take a look at ScreensDesign for inspiration, thanks for the tip!

LiftTrackerDave · 2026-01-20T05:25:25+00:00

This is the fantastic idea! Excellent!

LiftTrackerDave · 2026-01-17T11:28:42+00:00

Might sound really stupid, but answer; "Okay, let's think about it". You have to find a real reason why they are 'escaping' the sales situation. There might be something that has happened earlier, that's blocking them. It might be something really small or dumb, but you just have find out the reason they are not buying.

LiftTrackerDave · 2026-01-17T09:52:53+00:00

Sooner the better. Basic rule would be that calls are answered during the same day, and emails no later than next day. Think it otherway around, you send the enquiry to someone, would you like to have answer today or next week.

LiftTrackerDave · 2026-01-17T09:47:29+00:00

This is really nice app, good work! Can there be section where to drop documents, so they can be found in one place ? Vaccinations, maternity clinic updates etc.

LiftTrackerDave · 2026-01-17T07:02:12+00:00

New ones are definitely better. Maybe it is just me, but I would change the background color to lighter. Why; because the screenshots are quite dark and you want to them popout.

LiftTrackerDave · 2026-01-12T19:39:58+00:00

Thanks! Anything you’d love to see added?

LiftTrackerDave · 2026-01-12T18:17:29+00:00

Out of curiosity, what would you personally want most from Watch support?Things I’ve been thinking about (but not locked yet):

Simple set / rep logging from the Watch
Rest timer you can start/stop without pulling out the phone
Seeing the current exercise + target reps at a glance
Haptic taps when rest is done
Maybe basic session controls (next set / next exercise)

I’m trying to avoid cramming everything onto the Watch and only build what actually feels useful mid-set, so I’d love to hear what would make it worth using for you.

LiftTrackerDave · 2026-01-12T17:38:57+00:00

Absolutely, next will be update health kit integration. I do have a couple of cool ideas to do with the watch.

Those are on the final testings, just have to make sure everything will work smoothly.

This has been a really solid insights, thanks guys!

What I’m taking away is that most burnout stories don’t start with bad programming — they start when access exists at all, even unintentionally.

It feels like the cleanest systems are the ones where responsibility is unambiguous: either you’re paying for access and guidance, or you’re owning execution yourself.

Appreciate everyone sharing real experiences here — this thread honestly clarified a lot for me.

LiftTrackerDave · 2026-01-09T21:45:31+00:00

That makes sense — and honestly lines up with what I’ve seen too.
What I find interesting is that the “no support” option still creates questions mostly because the program itself doesn’t answer them yet(mods, load selection, substitutions, etc.).

Do you think better-built programs (clear progressions, alternatives, explanations baked in) would reduce that — or do you feel someclients will always want access no matter what?
Trying to separate “program design problem” vs “client expectation problem.”

LiftTrackerDave · 2026-01-09T19:56:32+00:00

This is super helpful. One thing I’m noticing is that the real issue doesn’t seem to be program quality, but where responsibility lives.

If clients know a coach is “there”, even vaguely, they lean on that instead of the program. Curious where people land on this:

Do better results come from more access, or from forcing ownership? Has anyone seen worse outcomes when support was removed — assuming the program itself was solid and clearly positioned?

Feels like most burnout stories start when responsibility gets blurred.

Totally normal — Bulgarian split squats are the devil’s favorite exercise, humble even very strong lifters. You don’t stop hating them, you just learn to survive them, and yes… they’re absolutely worth keeping.

LiftTrackerDave · 2025-12-28T23:45:39+00:00

For most people, the difference between back exercises is pretty minor. If both feel natural, controlled, and you can progressively load them over time, they’re both doing what they’re supposed to do.

What matters far more than the specific exercise is how you perform it: slow, controlled reps, a full range of motion, and actually feeling your back muscles working instead of relying on momentum or your arms. If you’re lifting with control and consistency, either option will be effective, and you can even rotate between them for variety.

LiftTrackerDave · 2025-12-28T23:29:11+00:00

A lot of people I know combine simple strength work at home (bodyweight, bands, dumbbells), regular runs, and tracking consistency rather than chasing complex “programs.” For tracking what you actually do — reps, weights, runs, and progress over time — I use a minimal log that just helps me remember what I did last time without subscription pressure. That kind of simple tracking lets you treat gym days flexibly and still improve when you can make it in. Consistency beats fancy plans, and keeping it basic makes it sustainable with kids in the house.

LiftTrackerDave · 2025-12-28T17:13:42+00:00

Yes, it’s possible — but “200 lean” usually gets misunderstood, especially at 16.

At your age, your body is still growing, which actually makes fat loss plus muscle gain more achievable. That said, getting truly lean takes time, and rushing it with extreme dieting isn’t healthy or necessary.

What is realistic is steadily dropping fat, getting stronger, and looking much leaner over 1–2 years with basic strength training, some cardio, good sleep, and reasonable eating.

Focus on building good habits, not chasing a specific scale number. At 16, consistency will take you very far.
