    I have used Gain Fitness cross trainer. It is by far the best lifting app I've seen or used. It will set up programs for you, or let you set up your own. You put sets, reps, weight and rest periods. I has video representations of each of the lifts and a timer for your rest periods. It is like having a personal trainer right there with you.

    The downside is the cost of the exercise packs. I believe it comes with a few free basic ones (probably enough for you to know if it is for you), then you can pick out the other packs you want. I think it was well worth the cost.

    I have used Jefit for years and really love it. Tons of programs, or you can build your own (like I do). Keeps track of your sets/reps and shows you what lifted last time. Also shows you what you need to lift to beat your 1RM. Its my favorite.

    Jefit is rather complex and mot really intuitive to use. And you're required to sign up. I just use excel/numbers. It's not ideal but I havn't found anything better.

    I don't find Jefit to be difficult at all. Once program is chosen, its extremely easy to use while working out. Yes, you do sign up, but its free for all the functionality I mentioned. Paid version just adds reporting/analysis capabilities, which I do separately also on excel. But excel doesn't come to the gym with me...

    Hello jloeffler651,

    My name is Robert Rogo, a Web Developer at JEFIT and looks like you are looking for a new fitness app it seems?

    With JEFIT, as terizius recommend, we are a free Fitness/Workout Tracking application where you can create a FREE profile, create or download various workout routines from the JEFIT Team or users, record and track your workout progress, view your stats and data from the over 1300+ exercises we have with animations and descriptions, interact with our vast community and much more.

    Actually we are currently working on our latest Android and iPhone updates as we speak.

    If you give our application a try thats awesome and know it will help you achieve/reach your fitness goals along with MyFitnessPal (which I have just gotten back into tracking my macros for my own weight loss journey) and if not thats cool too because you are entitled to your own decisions/choices and what suites best for you.

    I wish you all the best on your fitness journey and continued efforts with tracking your macros with your workouts!

    - Robert

    I used the SL app when I was doing SL 5x5, but now I use the bodyspace one by bodybuilding.com.
