This is not a rating of the Starting Strength program, which is excellent. This is a rating of the app. The app is great, overall, and guides the user through the exercises well. There are a few bugs, however, and places where the user experience could be improved. I have notice a few things, but because of the char limit I will mention one small annoyance. If I am looking at another app on my phone, the exercise timer will send a Push notification when it's done. But I have to click it twice.

Jared Collier, 2024-10-16Somewhat functional, but bugged. All I want is to go into the app and have it figure out that since I did the press last time, I need to do the bench today. Instead I have to manually set the second exercise every time. It's also as other reviewers have noted, slow and occasionally unresponsive. Data storage should be local first, not cloud first, and the app should opportunistically sync. Second star for functioning well enough as a weight calculator.
