Review summary

Wendler log 531 Pro is praised for its customization, effective workout tracking, and comprehensive 5/3/1 program support, helping users stay motivated and visualize progress. Responsive developer support adds to its appeal. However, users report bugs causing interruptions during workouts, limited ability to add custom exercises or rep schemes, and occasional issues with templates including unwanted sets or assistance exercises. Despite some usability challenges, it remains a valuable tool for serious 5/3/1 lifters seeking structured strength progression.

Pros

Highly customizable with the ability to add or modify exercises and sets to fit individual workout plans.
Effective tracking and progress visualization through graphs, aiding in motivation and goal setting.
Developer provides responsive and helpful support, addressing user inquiries and issues promptly.
Comprehensive coverage of the 5/3/1 program variations and templates with options for personal adjustments.
User-friendly interface that facilitates following the 5/3/1 program and simplifies workout management.

Cons

Occasional bugs causing app to close unexpectedly or timers not functioning properly during workouts, which disrupts flow.
Inability or difficulty in adding truly custom exercise names or categories beyond pre-set options, limiting flexibility.
Some templates include extra sets (like BBB) even when users opt out, and assistance exercises are sometimes not removable or not retained if added manually.
Lack of a custom rep scheme option in advanced settings, restricting programming flexibility.
Difficulty transferring settings and records between devices without following specific backup and restore procedures.

2025-01-27	Pa*****	Love how far this app has come since first using years ago. Would be amazing if I could input "custom" exercise names, but besides that it's worth it. EDIT: Thanks for responding. Yes I mean the custom additional lifts of course, not the 4 main lifts. For example, split squats, chest flys, and any machine exercises are not on the list. Just add a "custom" category where the user can input their own exercise name and it would be a 5 star app.

2024-11-23	Mi*****	I've been using this app for about 4 years now, and it's been extremely helpful in keeping track of my lifts and doing the calculations that I need to progressively improve my strength, I love the goals it gives me as it allows me to push myself and have a sense of accomplishment, and the graph to visually see my improvements over the program, would recommend
