starting strength app is really bad but i keep on using it because i already have all my lifts recorded there, and i think it's easier to use than a spreadsheet and don't really want to check if all other lifts recording apps are just as bad

What do you think is really bad about it? I’m curious because I’ve regularly used it and it does exactly what I’ve needed without any friction.

it's really buggy. off the top of my head:
-logs me out randomly every few months for no good reason
-the button for sending my data to my email didn't ever work
-sometimes i wouldn't be able to close the keyboard and keep using the app no matter which part of the screen i tried to touch, i had to close it and open it
-recently it forgot which plates i have and it's showing me something like 25 + 20 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1.25 + 1.25 + 1.25 + 1.25 (=60) for a 60+60+20 lift, when it previously would show 25+20+15
-it once showed me a unparseable json error. probably the server was down or something. it would have been really cryptic for a non-programmer
i thought it was terrible for everyone. are you on android? i'm using iOS
