## Description

HeavySet is a gym log and workout tracker for weightlifting, bodybuilding, and strength training. It combines a simple, fast interface with powerful features like supersets, preset rest timers, rep and set ranges, AMRAP sets, intensity and RPE tracking, and intelligent auto-suggested values to speed up logging.

Track progress with detailed charts for volume, estimated 1RM, reps, sets, and max weight. Manage routines, import plain-text routines, export to CSV, and back up data with iCloud. The app supports PR notifications, deload adjustments, plate calculators, and flexible exercise management, plus routine creation from previous workouts and Apple Health sync for body weight data.

## Review summary

HeavySet is a long-standing, feature-rich gym workout log praised for its depth, customization, and offline data with Apple Health support and solid one-time payment value. However, multiple reviews cite stability issues after updates, ongoing crashes, and poor developer support, plus concerns about lost lifetime purchases. Users also point to missing features (Watch/iPad, certain exercise types) and perceived upgrade-driven design, alongside occasional UX quirks. The app remains strong for serious lifters but needs ongoing maintenance and broader platform support.

### Pros

- Extensive feature set for tracking workouts, progression, 1RM calculations, and RPE with deep customization for serious lifters.
- Clear, generous controls and intuitive UI that works well in a gym environment.
- Local data with no mandatory cloud login; strong data portability (export/import, copy/paste) and Apple Health integration.
- One-time payment options (lifetime upgrade) and strong perceived value for long-time users.
- Reliable core logging and routine design that supports complex splits and custom exercises.

### Cons

- Lack of ongoing updates leading to instability: app has crashed, closed, or reset mid-workout and some users report no recent updates.
- Subscriptions and support issues: lifetime purchases can vanish or fail to restore, with limited or unresponsive developer support.
- Removal of useful features and upgrade-pressure: import feature removed and perceived push toward paying for upgrades.
- Missing features and platform support: no Apple Watch or iPad version, limited support for planks/timed bodyweight exercises and RPE logging.
- UX inconsistencies and occasional confusion in the interface.
