The Landscape
If you've been lifting for a while, you've used Strong. It’s the OG. But recently, Hevy has taken a massive bite out of their user base. Why? Let's break it down.
Strong: The Old Guard
Pros: It just works. It's clean, simple, and the Apple Watch app is legendary for being reliable.
Cons: It feels abandoned. The last major update was... well, hard to remember. If you want new features, don't hold your breath.
Hevy: The Social Challenger
Pros: Regular updates, modern interface, and a vibrant community. You can see what your friends are lifting and comment on their PRs.
Cons: If you don't care about the social aspect, it can feel cluttered. Do you really need to like your friend's bicep curl set?
