    No and the longer I wait for that app, the more annoyed I get.

    Check out LiftBig. Same thing.

    ETA: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=liftbig.lb.sources

    I didn't join google+ to get the android app and use the lift big on my android phone, but here's the link from my daily Medhi emails

    https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.hypersense.stronglifts/

    Actually, here's the entire email:

    The new beta version of the StrongLifts 5x5 app for android is now available.

    Here's what's new:
    * Entering weights as low as 10lb/5kg now possible
    * Deadlift increases by 5kg each workout, not 10kg (worked already in lb)
    * New fast scroll feature when entering weights manually
    * Settings/video icon hidden until we get those screens done
    * Fixed an issue that caused startup crashes on some devices

    You should automatically get some sort of notification on your Android device to upgrade to the latest version of the StrongLIfts 5x5 app.

    If not, or if you haven't downloaded the last version of this app yet, here's how to get access to the beta version for free:

    1. Join My Google+ Community
    Because this is a private early beta version of my StrongLifts 5×5 app for Android, only people who have joined the Google+ community “StrongLifts 5×5 Android Beta Testers“ can download this app.

    There’s nothing to pay, no catch. You just have to join by going here and then clicking the red button "join community"

    https://plus.google.com/communities/104055095336243027652


    If you don't want to join Google+, just wait until the final release of this app as it won't have this limitations.


    2. Become a Beta Tester
    Accept my invitation to become a tester of the early beta version of my StrongLifts 5×5 app for Android.

    Just go here and hit the button “become a tester”.

    https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.hypersense.stronglifts/


    3. Download My StrongLifts 5×5 App
    Once you have joined my Google+ Community and have agreed to become a tester, Google will automatically allow you to download the beta version of my StrongLIfts 5×5 app for Android.

    Go here to download the app:

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hypersense.stronglifts


    NOTE: if you DID all the above steps but get a 404/”Item not found error”, then try this:

    1. Go into settings, apps, force stop the Android app store 2. Go back to the link, try again

    Google limits beta releases to Google+ groups/communities which makes this process complicated. The final version won’t have this limitations, you’ll simply be able to find the app through the store.

    If you can’t figure out how to download the beta, ask someone for help or wait for the final release.

    Next: we're working on manually changing days/dates as there's a chance that you don't (always) train on mo/we/fr.

    The next update will be fixing this and should be available next week.

    I'll keep you updated by email.

    Don’t make excuses.

    -Mehdi



    P.S. This app is not yet synching with the StrongLIfts Inner Circle, but it's one of the things planned for the future - ability to synch your workouts in the app with the community, so Members can see what you did and give you motivation, accountability and advice from there.

    Doors to the StrongLifts Inner Circle are open since yesterday by the way.

    he took so damned long with the android app that others went ahead, made one better, and you don't get spammed to death.
