This looks nice, but IMO the Hevy lifetime membership (around $70 I think) was a great price for a such a polished app. It's got a huge library of exercises and more importantly, basic instructions and animations for each. I wouldn't use it to learn the exercises for the first time, but it's the perfect level of information to serve as a reminder for good form during a workout, when I'm doing something that I'm less familiar with. If you don't want to or can't pay for it, this looks decent. But in terms of functionality and polish, there's definitely a case of "you get what you pay for" going on here, at least at the present level of development. Have you considered adding more data like animations to the exercises database? I did accidentally come across the database of animations that Hevy uses (I forget the name but it should be easy to find of you search for it) . It can be licensed, not sure how expensive it is though, but if this takes off perhaps you could take donations to pay for it? | |||||||||||||||||

Hevy is honestly great and good value. For something polished and feature complete, you can't go wrong with it. I started building this app out initially to see how far I could get in a short space of time. It's still quite bare but it shouldn't be difficult to flesh out from here. For me, it's more about the fun of making a working thing and then sharing that with others. If people contribute that would make my year, but it's rewarding enough to know that people are using it. I'd like to expand on the exercise details page, but not looking to profit so licensing resources is off the table. Cloud sync is an interesting one because I'm trying to keep this free. I was hoping to offer users the choice of sync solutions (Google Drive, for instance). | |||||||||||||||||
