alt Hacker NewsLongtime Jefit user. I respect that it the enshittifiction (e.g. locking "volume" charts behind a subscription) has been slow enough to not force me to another product. I've definitely encountered many many bugs, but only a few that have resulted in partial data loss.
Lots of respect with allowing data export in a simple format like .csv
Did the "recent" exercise sort get removed?

I've been using the free tier for a few years. I want very little out of it -- really just something to say "do these exercises today".
The basics work well enough. I'd just as soon they didn't lock alternative exercises behind the paywall -- if my gym doesn't have a leg extension machine, what's a good alternative? It doesn't seem a lot to ask.
I'm well aware that I get what I pay for on the free tier. But I worked around it by googling an alternative and just substituting that instead. It's good enough for my extremely meager purposes.
I stopped using the app around 2018 and went back to pencil and paper. Although I did like the diagrams on the movements to do, but once you learn them, you can't forget them. I never entered the data into a spreadsheet though, I didn't care about tracking gains. All I cared about was, what I was doing last week and where I am at this week.
I've been using it for a long time as well, but I'm really tired of the constant up-sell attempts. I really just want a dead simple app to track my work, and I really feel like Jefit is moving further and further away from that.
