What is the best iOS application for recording and tracking progress in Starting Strength?

I need an app that tells me which lifts I am supposed to do on which day. It must also allow me to input my lift numbers and track progress. Exporting the data would be a bonus.

I intend to use this app to replace sheets of paper and copying into a spreadsheet.

I removed the "poll" aspect of the question, so this should be on-topic now. – Dave Liepmann Mar 15 at 14:02
You can also check out Str, which seems to offer the features you want. – WyldKard May 7 at 0:23

jefit - I have been using this currently (the free version) and it has been fantastic for tracking all my stats.

It is handy for timing rest between sets and this product also allows you to see which day which lifts need to be done on.

It's also really good for progression as it tells you the 1 rep max based on your current stats with information on how to beat that 1 rep max. There are also numerous routines that vary in type and range in difficulty from beginner right through to advanced, so, if in the future you wish to change things up it is all very straight forward. Included with the product is also an online site that links directly to your device, so you can browse your stats and other routines on the web as well as your mobile device.

I'm not 100% sure what starting strength is, but I think it's similar to Stronglifts, and this is the App I use -> App Here

Sorry if it isn't the same exercises as Starting Strength, but when you are done that program you should have a look at Stronglifts, as I think this may be the continuation program to SS, followed by Madcow's 5x5.

The app looks good, but StrongLifts is an alternative to Starting Strength, not a continuation of it. In fact many people find the opposite to be useful: begin with StrongLifts because it starts lighter (as 5x5) and then switch to Starting Strength when it gets heavy, making 3x5 make more sense and more complex exercises (e.g., power cleans) are less intimidating. – Dave Liepmann Feb 12 at 22:54
