RepCount - Gym Workout Tracker Reviews

by Thatguywhoisn'tfamous

So far happy with RepCount . Glad your not forced to buy the membership although I’m considering it (pandemic) money is tight .. but I wish you guys could add and element as followed an it would make RepCount great ..

I have my brother who has RepCount and I set up our workouts in the log an through the routines . But he has no access to it unless he takes the time to manually set it up himself on his phone .Can you create a server where I can invite him to join so he can literally see what I created an access it . I tried the share button but all it does is text the exercise name . It doesn’t set it up for them on their device . Or be able to copy the log an share it so it pops up on their logs . And from there it’s quick an easy to add the rep an weight

I’ve tried probably every other fitness logging app out there and this is the first one worth buying. It’s a simple and clean way to track your routines. A couple of issues:

1) I do a HIIT workout that incorporates battle ropes. It’s strength conditioning and cardio. When I try to create a custom exercise, I have to choose whether it’s a strength or cardio exercise. When I choose strength, it will allow me to enter the weight of the rope (24lbs) but the only option to log the action is in reps. I don’t count reps, the exercise is timed. Conversely, if I try to log the exercise as a cardio exercise, it will track the time, but not track the weight used. Very frustrating as I do a lot of work with battle ropes. There doesn’t seem to be an easy way to log this or similar cardio/strength hybrids. Please give us some more options here! :)

2) I track my calories burned while wearing a heart rate monitor. It would be great to have the ability to add the calories I burned to a particular workout.

Those are my only two critiques and hope the developers see this and consider implementing these small enhancements into a future update.

Thank you!

This is by far the best app I have found to track my workouts with. While it’s simplicity is part of what makes it so attractive, I think a few things could be made more accurate. I would like to be able to add multiple “categories” (muscles/muscle groups)to an exercise. It is hard to place many compound movements under just one category. It would also be advantageous if these categories could be separated into primary and secondary working muscles. Overall, great app, just would be much better for putting together routines with the afore mentioned changes. I will update my review if anything is added/improved!

Editing my review from 3 years ago to provide another 5 star rating. RepCount has maintained its simplicity while providing fundamental improvements and features. This is an essential tool for anyone who is looking to track progress in the gym long term. Thank you for the outstanding updates and providing us users with such a beneficial resource.

Have been using RepCount for several weeks now. Very simple and quick to track exercises' reps and sets. Premium version generates data to assess progression, maxes, volume, etc. Have recommended to my friends!

First off, this is probably the best workout app out there. I’m glad I found it. There’s a lot of positives about it such as, adding any kind of exercises, and the timer countdown. Lastly, if I could make a suggestion for improvement. If there is a way to have individual folders to put the routines in to keep things organized. For instance, when there is a workout plan you want to create you title the folder the name of the workout plan, then click into it to add the routines. Maybe color coordinate to indicate the one your currently working on, or something along those lines. Some suggestions to keep it improving! Keep up the great work!

I think RepCount is great! I love the features. I do supersets in every workout, and the superset option is great when it works; however, sometimes RepCount won’t let me finish adding exercises to my superset. It worked yesterday, but today when I went to add a superset and clicked “add (2)” RepCount wanted me to create a new exercise. I tried closing RepCount , creating new exercises, adding more than one exercise to my superset and nothing worked.🤷🏻‍♀️

Update from a 4 star to 5 star: the developer got back to me in less than 12 hours and said that they have fixed it! Love RepCount.

I have tried dozens of apps and none are as user friendly, customizable or intuitive as this app. It is well worth the money to have the full version even though I used the free one for a while and still was able to have everything I needed. With the added statistics in the pain version you can really see how you have improved over time. The developer is also really involved and willing to respond to you personally if you have any suggestions or issues. RepCount is always being updated with new/better features. Stop reading and hit Buy! #NotAPaidReview haha

I was looking for an app exactly like this one is described, and was excited to try it out. But when I opened it after installation, it immediately crashes. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling multiple times, and even restarting my phone between reinstall. I’m running on an iPhone 11. Is this not happening with anyone else?

EDIT: I found the issue. My iOS was 5 versions behind (I was running 15.3, latest was 15.8). Updating it fixed the crashing.

So, note to anyone else who may face this issue: update your iOS!

I love the simple UI of it and how straight forward it is. Easy to use and logging a workout in is a no brainer. I love the fact that you can add your own exercises to RepCount as well which is very useful and gives you freedom to expand your workouts. 2 major things that I believe could use some fixing. 1: Their is no option to add exercises into supersets and tri-sets. Extremely vital in my workouts. Makes it more tedious to add in reps and weight per exercise. 2: After you finish the workout theirs really no clear “End workout” option to show that you finished your workout. It’s sort of left open. Just as their is a start button, their should be a end option to automatically log in your end time for the workout. Other than that, it’s a great app. Have no complaints! Keep up the good work guys!

I am a personal trainer and I have tested a lot of apps and this is the best. It does all the standard stuff well. Not bloated with useless features. Best notes feature as you have a note for each set and don’t need extra clicks to see your note in workout. Plus great developer support and response.

The only think I would love would be the option to have some of my notes per set to be permanent and some to be overwritten each workout- almost like a pinning feature.

by Yourwifeandkids

Thank you for RepCount. I tried many workout tracking apps before this one, they were all either cash grabs, or too sparse/busy in terms of functionality. this app strikes the perfect chord. It does everything I need a gym tracker to do (track workouts, excercises, weight, stats - what else do you need to do at the gym, really), no more and no less, and it does it all painlessly, without trying to get me to sign up for nonsense I don’t need in order to access the functions I want.

Keep it up, and thanks again.

Best tracking app I’ve found so far! I think I will pay for the upgrade, but there’s two improvements I’d love to see after just using it for a few days. First, I’d love to have the option to log a strength/bodyweight exercise by either time or reps, as I do a lot of calisthenics, which includes a lot of static holds. Second, I’m not a huge fan of the exercise categories. For one, I don’t know why it is required that you choose a category for each exercise you add. Also, I’d like to have broader categories, as well as the option to select specific muscles. And maybe the option to select primary and secondary muscles (i.e. close grip bench press targets both triceps and chest). Overall, fantastic app though!

Love using RepCount! Makes saving workouts very easy and being able to see the last weight used is helpful instead of flipping back and forth from old workouts. I emailed to request the option of merging workouts that have similar names in order to streamline the graphs present and also the option to save workouts as supersets and within a week both options were available. Definitely a great app and superb customer service!

All the other fitness apps and journals are either locked behind a paywall or are unorganized and complicated to use. RepCount is straight to the point. It lets you take notes on your sets, reps, and a bunch of other things. And you can record your workouts and label them however you want. I’d highly recommend RepCount for anyone who is looking for a good, simple and straightforward fitness journal.

by Candid Ham

I wanted an app that would let me set up a few workouts and log them without any hassle. RepCount delivers. The logging process is scrollable with your last weight and rep count filled in as placeholder text. This makes it extremely fast to move between exercises and easy to see where you are. Plus, I’m never waiting for it to load content I don’t care about.

I searched workout apps to track my lifting routine, why is this towards the bottom!? I tried the top ones recommend, not as customizable as this app, super user friendly, and it accounts for when a workout is super setted, single arm, assisted, and has my weight from my health app synced up for when I do pull ups. Way too low on the recommendation list, best app I’ve used so far to track my workouts!

I was looking for a simple way to log workouts on my phone. Just step up from a clipboard. I found it in RepCount. Simple interface, sufficient organization, and no in your face ads nor obnoxious incessant upgrade offers. My biggest complaint is that spell check doesn’t work in RepCount so with post-rep shaky hands and bad spelling, my notes are sometimes gibberish.

by KingKongBundy

I’ve used RepCount for the past 5 years or so, and nothing really compares to RepCount. By far the simplest and most intuitive app I’ve used, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone interested in tracking their progression (which everyone should be). I owe meeting a lot of my strength and body goals to RepCount for helping me stay disciplined and precise with my weight, sets, and reps as well as helping me save countless workout variations

by Cooodood

I’ve literally never written an app review before but since I started using RepCount it makes keeping stats on my lifts and EVERYTHING so much easier. The premium of $8/yr is ridiculously underpriced for the value you get and it is much easier to use than other similar apps. I have thought about wanting to make something like this for a long time and have sorta tried on excel but I’m thankful RepCount found a place on my home screen. All in all I’ve found zero faults with RepCount and have had a great experience with it. Underrated for sure, I’ve never heard of anyone else using RepCount. Something I’m excited to check out is the “Export to excel” feature. Great job 👌🏻

I used to track my workouts on legal pads. But no more. RepCount has everything that I need. It had all of the exercises that I do, and prompts you for the weights that you used last time. And it will prompt you for either the last time that u lifted, or the last time that u were doing that routine, of which I’ve created several. Great product.
