I have to give credit where credit is due. The simple nature of this app is what makes me WANT to use it and therefore be more consistent with my lifting regimen. I have been a weightlifter on and off for 10 years. I don’t have aspirations to be a professional bodybuilder or competitor, I only lift for myself. Is this app my ideal app for lifting? No. There’s a few small features I wish I could have (emphasis on small; because I want to retain the simplicity of the app) however it’s the closest thing I’ve found and I’m really enjoying it. Even the option to switch the app icon from light to dark on your home screen is a nice touch! A lot of other “workout” apps don’t solely focus on lifting and even the ones that do, they all have too many features which most of us won’t even use. Those apps cater to people who’s lives revolve around the gym and are training for the Olympia, not to mentioned the constant intrusive ads that render using the app impossible. I also don’t like to or want to track literally every movement I do in the gym. I just need something simple to track the BIG exercises - Bench Press, Deadlift and Squats to begin with, with a few other major lifts. If you’re like me, then I highly recommend this app

I have never reviewed an app before, but Liftin has truly changed the game for me! After trying multiple digital weightlifting tracking systems, and even creating a couple of my own, I was never really satisfied with the results—unintuitive, clunky, hard to tailor for unconventional routines, terribly designed, and with an overwhelming amount of features that were not really useful for me, I almost give up and go back to good old pen and paper! To my luck, I discovered this app a couple of months ago and I have to say without a doubt that this is the first only app so far that I can actually recommend for weightlifters that are looking to streamline their tracking with the flexibility of customizing almost every variable of an exercise. If you are looking for a simple but effective solution, look no further because Liftin’ has got you covered! Props to Valter for developing on his own such a valuable product🙌🏼

This is the best workout tracking app I’ve found, and I’ve tried most (if not all) of them over the past few years. - The UX is very nice and the watch app looks and feels great. - Connectivity between the watch and iPhone have also been super reliable the entire time I’ve been using the app! - Haven’t had a chance to try the automatic progression yet, but like that it’s available and so configurable. - The plate calculator is super useful (I’ve often needed a separate app for this with other apps I’ve used) and even works super well on the watch app as well!! - I really like that I can add any exercise/equipment/etc that’s not currently in the app so I can still do everything I need if I’m doing some kind of niche alteration of an exercise that hasn’t been added yet - LOVE that I can export my workout data. That’s been one of my biggest complaints with other apps cause when you can’t export your data, you have to reteach the app any time you use a new one, and you can’t chart out/analyze your strength growth any other way than the included reports. Really appreciate this feature as it ensures I have agency and ownership over my own workout data!!! - the dev is SUPER responsive and really helpful with any issues I have Thanks again for such an amazing and well thought out app! I’m excited to use it for a long time and appreciate how easy it is to work with!
