Contact Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log Support

I love the Strong app when it works properly to keep track of all my workouts but the problem is the app is very inconsistent with keeping record of workouts even after I click finish (either on my watch or within the app) and the app doesn’t consistently sync to my Apple watch. Today I did an 1 hour and 45 minute workout but Strong doesn’t show I completed this workout so I have no record of what I actually completed today (not great for tracking purposes or time since I took the time to enter all my workouts while at the gym :/) The app was on the entire time and also my Apple activity app shows I completed the workout but didn’t sync any of the stats, not the minutes, heart rate or the calories; so clearly there is a big disconnect since the Strong app isn’t even showing I did the workout yet my Apple activity app is, I would assume at least the Strong app would be accurate. Well, I’m disappointed in the quality of this app since I bought it to sync to my Apple watch and the activity app since my workouts were receding just fine when I just used the activity app with Apple, guess I’m going back and finding a new workout app and just wasted money.

I just purchased this app and I’ve used it for the first time in my workout this morning. The first major flaw that I see is that it will not calculate the calories you burn during the workout session logged. It also does not keep track of the total time you have worked out. It does offer you the opportunity to set rest periods in between sets but does not keep track of your total workout session time. It also does not appear to allow you to enter a custom exercise or movement. I have been using Fitness Buddy for 9 months and dont like it well enough to buy the subscription but what it does do is track your session time and calculate calories burned. The calories burned number then populates the apple health app as well as “My Fitness Pal” where I log my calorie intake and research foods. What I do like so far is the the data entry interface. I find it very intuitive well thought out, easy to log sets, weight and reps. It is color coordinated making things easier to see or identify. I also like that this app syncs with my apple watch really nicely. I also like that this app doesn't force you into a bunch of stuff you dont need or want. So far I wont start the subscription unless they add these features that are important to me. While I dont like Fitness Buddy it does do the minimum most that I need for it to do.

Update: I found the workout timer. Cant find how to pause it if needed. Still unable to find a calorie consumption calculator.

I think the developers are trying to keep things simple but the lack of exercises is annoying. I have to create a new exercise for so many simple exercises like single leg variations and other kinds. The inconsistency of the having the letters instead of picture just feels less premium for the price they want us to pay while having us make our own exercises instead of them making it. Now if they were trying to keep things simple by limiting the number of exercises... well it’s not exactly easier to find the ones they do have. You can search which is probably the fastest way but not all exercises go by the same name. Sometimes you need to scroll and look for them in the categories. Legs and arms in particular are bothersome categories to find things in. It would be nice to search by muscles within a group of muscles like triceps, biceps, calves, etc instead of having just one group for them all. One more major thing is the notes. I want my notes to save from the last time I do a routine and show up the next time I do a routine.
