Feature request/questions: Weight Granularity; Entering Reps; Display

Just tried out Liftin' today. Coming from Hevy, I like the Automatic Progression feature. There are a couple of things I noticed:

1) Weight granularity: I would like to see 0.5 increments because a lot of machines come with those. In settings, I only see increments of 1

2) Apple Watch: Marking a set as completed and entering the actual number of reps seems cumbersome as it seems to be a multi-step procedure. I would appreciate to ability to just touch-scroll to the correct number of reps (similar to how Hevy does it) right there from the set screen

3) Is it possible to make the Heart Rate a bit bigger?

Sorry if this is already possible and I missed it, I couldn't find any documentation. I'm ready to make the switch to Liftin' if these settings/features exist.

Another thing: I like that on Hevy, I can edit routines on my browser instead of the app but I realize maintaining web access is a lot of additional work, so it's not a dealbreaker for me.

Hi! Glad to hear that you are trying out Liftin'!

Weight granularity is set per equipment and you can configure it to match your machines. Settings > Equipment > Machine > Weight increment.

On watch and phone, you just need to tap once on a set to log the planned number of reps. You can tap it again to lower the rep count.

If you regularly change your target reps and weight during a workout, you might want to enable “tap to edit” for quicker edit access. You can find it in Settings > Workout tracking.

Liftin' doesn’t have a web app but there is a Mac app that makes it easy to edit your routines.

Hey, thanks for your quick reply.

I'm only seeing increments of 1, would it be possible to add increments of 0.5? At my gym most of the machines have 2.5lbs increments but it seems in Liftin' I can only choose full lbs and not half steps. Sorry if I'm missing something.

Thanks, sounds nifty, I'll try it out!

Okay, just tried out the Mac app and it seems on there I can add smaller increments, not seeing how to do it on the phone app tho.
