Starting Strength Official for Negative User Reviews

✓ Too many busToo many bugs. Will not save sets, will hang between screens etc. check strong app instead..Josefd176Version: 1.15

✓ It goodApp is good but it can be glitchy time to time.Doc toonsVersion: 1.19.02

✓ What about women?I use this app every workout. I like being able to visualize my progress. Still a bit too basic to replace some of my current go-to apps though. Keep up the great work..AnarchistBrowVersion: 1.17.7

✓ Excellent content, app needs workI love Starting Strength but this review is for the app itself. I have an iPhone 8 Plus. I use this app every time I go to the gym. I’ve noticed that the timer is finicky and will jump around on you on the screen. The timer also stops sometimes when you switch to the music app momentarily to find your pump up jam to hit those PRs for sets of fahves. When altering your weight in either the past workouts or at the end of the workout there is no enter button or way to collapse the keyboard so it’s just there. In my case I cannot change the warm up set weight in the settings area, only during the actual workout. It sometimes doesn’t keep track of when I have the PC instead of the DL. Unless I’m missing it, I’d like to see intermediate programs added in as opposed to just LP. Maybe add another video reference? Barbell Logic’s videos are short and sweet and provide audio. I will continue to use the app and recommend it since it is a no-brained when calculating warmups and rest times..NVillarVersion: 1.18.10

✓ App crashes on launchThis app crashes on launch - gets to the logo page and after less than a second just quits. This is on an iPhone 6+ running the latest iOS (as of 18 January 2017). For a relatively pricey app I expect better..EdP1983Version: 1.17.7

✓ Pretty basic app.If you already own the book don’t bother. It’s a pretty basic app. Poorly designed but functional. If you don’t own the book already, it contains barest minimum copy and pasted text from the book text to get you started. All in all it allows you to enter your weights and tracks your progress. Ymmv if you think it’s worth the asking price..NachtzeitVersion: 1.18.15

✓ Training ReminderIt would be nice to have some built in reminder/notification the “today’s a training day”.SSDARKSIDEVersion: 1.20.01

✓ 2 / 5 probably avoidHave had this for a couple years - it’s pretty annoying, program rather ineffective compared to better more modern programs, and the App itself - and this is really the worst part - is clunky and unintuitive - and its reset a few times and lost all my progress. It’s okay for a compete beginner looking for a couple months worth of activity , but honestly if better to avoid if you’re serious. I regret this purchase..Waz-----Version: 1.18.16

✓ Buggy since update on iPhone.Pls fix!.Hya79Version: 1.18

✓ Optimal program, suboptimal appThe program works, is everything good. The app does not allow you to adhere to the program very well beyond the complexity level of an early novice. As a late stage novice, program complexity begins to increase in the form of a light day for mid week workouts, decreased deadlifting frequency, rep scheme changes for upper body movements, bodyweight chin-ups progressing toward weighted chins, etc. The app makes some of these things difficult to log and others are not supported at all. This app will help you follow the program and get stronger by a significant margin - because the program works. But take it upon yourself to invest in the Starting Strength book as well, because the app is best used as a supplementary tool to help you get started on your journey through the book. The program gets 5 stars. The app gets 3.ShadowlessonVersion: 1.18.12

✓ BuggyWhen entering notes the app is buggy and keeps a keypad display up.Kiki2478Version: 1.18.14

✓ Dissatisfied but it sort of worksFirst it doesn’t use conventional iOS UI elements so it is clunky to begin with. Next it has all sorts of strange behaviors, everything from the screen going black while it thinks, to not saving my workouts or remembering them across devices even when you create an account. This just should be so much better for the price they are charging. I would rather have just used the strong app and make the routines myself instead of spending money on this..JeffDBostonVersion: 1.18.16

✓ Better than it was. Buggy graphicsGood job adding programs beyond novice. However, lots of rendering/display bugs on iPhone 12 Pro. Frequent force quits required to get graphs in the correct orientation, to stop the workout info from being displayed in comically tiny fonts, or to just get out of screens with no exit because the back button is out of display boundaries. Still, better than it was, I suppose..Texas userVersion: 1.1900087

✓ Some kinks in the program but goodSometimes when switching to my next exercise the app displays the wrong set number and weight. When I open the app the window closes and I have to open it again. When I advanced to deadlifts once every 4 or 5 training days and adding power cleans, the app doesn’t follow my routine as laid out in the starting strength book. It would be nice if there was an option to switch to that. I have to manually switch it every time. Love that the app calculates my warm up sets for me. Love that I don’t have to write down my program in advance anymore and carry a book with me. Even with some of the problems I enjoy having this app for my training..MichlambertVersion: 1.18.18
