Flex is a clean workout log book. You can add exercise sets and track you progress over time. As simple as that. I really like using it.

Shortcomings: It has no large exercise list with images or descriptions. Therefore, it is not really suited for beginners. It can be difficult/annoying to enter a new exercise because you can’t simply add a set by clicking on a + somewhere on the screen. You always have to type some unique part of the name first. Once, you are used to this quirk, it’s ok. There is no server, you can only use it on one mobile device. No IBAN for donations but at least monero.

    Thanks for sharing your experience!

    Your method of using the custom exercises is incredibly smart! You can see the progress with comaprable prerequisites. So far, I just accepted it as long as I progress over time.

    I see. I gave up on the plans even though they are nice! It is too cumbersome to go back and forth. I stay in the history tab and just know my plans in and out. That way I have the old values visible. Also, there’s no direct connection to the history graph which is a bit sad. As you said, the app is really nice, I don’t complain. I’m happy with it.

      Go back and forth too tbh. I have times where I just use the plans and just push whatever I can and record it, other times I just stay in the history and just add what I know to be my plan. It definitely works, but could be better
