## Review summary

Users largely praise Barbell Plate Calculator for reliability and a simple, attractive UI. The most-mentioned positives are that it works as expected and is easy to use. Widely requested improvements include more complete inventory options (home vs gym), per-side total weight displays, collars, and a reverse plate calculator. Several pain points also recur: timer occasionally freezing, limited plate sizes, a cumbersome save/history flow, and occasional issues with upgrades. Overall, core functionality is solid, but feature gaps and UI/workflow improvements are the main themes.

### Pros

- Works well and reliably performs its intended function
- Simple, clean design and user-friendly interface
- Easy to use without needing premium features for basic weight changes

### Cons

- Feature gaps: missing per-side inventory options for home vs gym, as well as show-by-size totals; lack of collars and a reverse plate calculator
- Limited plate sizes supported, which can prevent input of some weights
- History entries cannot be edited or individually removed
- Saving bar weight flow is clunky and multi-step
- Some users report upgrades/premium features not functioning
