    The app is a bit sparse for resistance training.

    In comparison to multiple apps that are targeting resistance training, yes by far. Look at the Strong app. It kills MFP for tracking resistance training. Thing is they are for different markets. MFP is for diet and weight management primarily. It's one of best apps for macro/calorie tracking. I wish UA would put money into making a full-fledged app for resistance training but I am also happy to use 2 apps. It really isn't that hard.

    That only provides calories and nothing else. Check out the market much better apps for tracking resistance training.

    The Strength portion of the app is way out of date in comparison to others. No custom programs to build yourself. No estimated 1rm. No between set timer. No warm-up calculator based on first working set. No easy to export log to send to a trainer. Limited exercises and harder to create your own.

    Not a big deal just it's not even close to others that are free. Still, I think it's the leader in diet.

    If you are tracking for training purposes BodyBuilding.com is a good place to try.

    That’s because this app is mainly used to track calories.
