Strengths and weaknesses
Strong Workout Tracker
- One of the quickest loggers to use between sets
- Clean, distraction-free design
- Reliable history and personal record tracking
- Free plan limits saved routines
- Slower to add new features than newer rivals
Strong is the veteran of workout logging and still one of the fastest. The interface stays out of your way: pick a routine, log sets, and let the rest timer and previous numbers guide you. Its Apple Watch app is excellent. The free version limits how many routines you can save, so regular users will want Strong PRO. There is no social feed, which some lifters will see as a plus.

Cronometer
- Tracks dozens of vitamins and minerals, not just macros
- Curated database means fewer bad entries
- Barcode scanning included in the free plan
- Plain interface feels dated next to rivals
- Free version shows ads
Cronometer is one of the most accurate food trackers you can get. It leans on curated nutrition databases and tracks vitamins, minerals and amino acids, not just calories and macros. Barcode scanning is included in the free plan. The interface is functional rather than friendly, and the free version shows ads. If you care about what is actually in your food, this is the one to get.
