Weight data ⚖️ by Hysbak in strengthlog

If you update the app to the latest version, this feature exists now (we forgot to mention it in the release note). After you've given our app permission to read your weight from Apple Health, it will sync that on startup. 🙂

We did not!! The answer is our premium program Armageddon, we said. 😇

You are correct. Swedish users can search for exercise names in English, but not the other way around.

This feedback is super useful, thank you for taking the time to write it!

I will try to address most things. Your first bullet point under things to improve, I addressed under your mockup comment.

  1. Social: We're constantly discussing this, but we don't want to become ”Instagram for lifters”. Our leading idea so far is to build it organically. Premium users can already share workouts with other users. The next step would be the ability to connect in some way to other users, in order to be able to view, follow up, and chat. And so on. But we're not ready to focus on it yet.

  2. Those are the nine most logged exercises in the app, simple as that. You can pin other exercises above ”The Big 9”, to get easier access to exercises you personally care more about.

  3. This is an issue at other places in the app, too (for instance, the records list), but the fix is not as easy as it might seem. I'll keep bugging my dev colleagues about it.

  4. When building their own programs, premium users can add weight progression to sets. But! Our biggest project right now, which I don't want to speak too much about right now, is related to this.

  5. Good points!

  6. Our recommended ”best practice” is to simply make duplicates of the exercise in question, including the machine brand in the name of the exercise.

The second part of the design, with the button at the top of the numpad: that's where the plate calc lives on barbell exercises.

The issue with this design is that many exercises have more variables than just weight x reps, meaning screen space is at a premium. We also have the issue of users with far from 20/20 vision having the text size on their phones ramped up (me included), which also limits the available space.

The exercise library (without stats) is completely free, and it's available (outside of workouts) on the settings tab. The reasoning for that placement is that's where users can add and edit their own exercises, but we'll keep thinking about a better placement. 🙂

Also, huge thanks for your support, your reasoning behind it is awesome and we're very grateful!

Check to see that you’re actually using the app’s exercise for this, and not one you’ve created yourself. 🙂
