I checked out your app because I've been wanting something like it but hadn't bothered looking at what was out there yet. Looks great!

One thing I noticed though is that both barbell weight customization and plate customization is coupled together in one purchase. I feel like you may want to separate barbell weight into a free customization option because barbells made specifically for women tend to be lighter (~33lbs). By charging for barbell weight customization, you're inadvertently creating a difference in experience between men and women (for the base app, no purchases).

Alternatively (I know nothing about the domain) perhaps allow the choice for free? (Needn't be 'tell me your gender here's data sharing agreement blah blah blah', could just be a choice between '~33lb' and ..whatever the current is that's apparently more appropriate for men.)

Yeah that's what I meant, sorry if I wasn't clear!

Ah sorry - I read it as 'offer the full free-form weight [that it is/I assumed it is with payment] for free'.
