## Review summary

Sheiko Gold is a powerful, data‑driven powerlifting planner praised for automated programming, adaptive AI coaching, and potential strength gains. Users value customized workouts, velocity and biometric tracking, and regular updates from responsive developers. However, reviews also cite a steep learning curve, a cluttered UX with many hoops, and repeated bugs that disrupt workouts. Missing features like Apple Watch support and iOS widgets, plus a data-entry burden to activate the AI, are common gripes. Occasional unit inconsistencies appear too. Overall: highly capable, but UX, reliability, and platform feature gaps need attention.

### Pros

- Comprehensive planning and automation with customization, allowing users to tailor workouts and build their own routines.
- AI coaching and responsive guidance that adjusts loads and provides instant feedback.
- Realistic strength gains and performance improvements reported by users.
- Rich data and metrics for training optimization, including velocity, HRV, RHR, and readiness indicators.
- Active development and ongoing updates from a responsive team, with new programs and features added over time.

### Cons

- Complex, cluttered UX with many hoops and a confusing AI workflow, making navigation and usage challenging.
- Frequent bugs and reliability issues (crashes, timer problems, last-set not recorded, bug-report features not functioning).
- Missing essential features and platform support (no Apple Watch integration, lack of iOS widgets, limited next-exercise preview).
- Data-entry burden to unlock AI usefulness (manual exercise entry and setup before AI-based planning works well).
- Occasional unit inconsistencies and weight display issues (kg vs lb mismatches) in some screens.
