Hello,

I’m hesitating both app for a lifetime subscription and atm it’s a bit of a stalemate.

Hevy gots :

- Polished UI

- More exercices in the library with better guide

- A « heatmap » that tracks what muscle group lack training

- The always on display tracking

- More updates

- connection to health app

Strong has:

- A more straight to the point approach

- No social media bullsh*t

- Faster log in

it feels like Hevy got the upper hand, but I fear it’s a bit marketing or just a lack of knowledge on my part.

any thoughts ?

Today's the day — Better is officially on Google Play.

For those who haven't seen my previous posts: Better is a fitness app that combines workout tracking and nutrition logging into one app. The gap I noticed was that apps like Hevy and Strong are great for workouts but don't touch nutrition, and MyFitnessPal is great for food but doesn't do workout tracking properly.

The build journey:

  • Built with Kotlin Multiplatform (85% shared code for Android + iOS)
  • 19 features shipped for the MVP
  • Full offline support with sync
  • 300+ exercises in the library
  • Integrated Open Food Facts for 2.4M+ searchable foods
  • PR detection system that celebrates your personal records

What I learned building this:

  1. Feature creep is real. I had to cut my initial feature list in half to actually ship.
  2. Offline-first is hard but worth it. Nobody wants a gym app that needs WiFi.
  3. Food databases are messy. Deduplication, bad data, missing macros — spent more time on data quality than I expected.
  4. The "two-app problem" is real. Every lifter I talked to confirmed they use at least two apps.

iOS is coming this week. Would love any feedback from people who currently use multiple apps for fitness tracking.

I’ve been using this app, the premium version, for almost three years now. I feel with each update the app gets better, with the exception of apple watch glitches/bugs. Every couple of weeks it seems either I can’t do live sync, my workouts don’t sync from watch, or during live sync my sets get marked unchecked.

Ik other apps allow for Strong data to be imported, so switching to say Liftin’ or hevy wouldn’t be “Starting over”. I just have a sense of loyalty to this app and all the exercise i’ve added to my database.

Has anyone else been having issues with syncing across devices? If you switched apps, how did the custom exercises track across?
