A workout app with no subscription and no ads

1. Download IronBuddy from Google Play. The download is free.
2. Use the free trial (currently 5 days) to log workouts and see whether the app fits how you train.
3. To keep using IronBuddy after the trial, make a one-time in-app purchase of €6.99. There is no subscription and no renewal date.

Google Play handles the purchase. IronBuddy never sees your card or billing details, and it only stores confirmation that the purchase exists so it can unlock the app. Google Play shows the final amount for your country, which can differ slightly with currency and tax. The purchases section of the privacy policy has the details.

No monthly or yearly plan, no renewal date, and no payment that needs cancelling. IronBuddy's privacy policy states plainly that there are no subscriptions.

A training log is something you keep for years, so it helps when opening your history never depends on an active plan.

IronBuddy shows no ads. Its privacy policy also says the app does not include advertising SDKs or third-party analytics SDKs, so nothing competes for your attention between sets.

Ad networks typically rely on device identifiers and usage data to target ads. An app with no advertising SDKs has no need to share your data that way. See how IronBuddy handles your data.

These checks take a few minutes and work for any app, including IronBuddy. Do them before you commit.

• Google Play labels: look for “Contains ads” and “In-app purchases” under the app's name, and read what the in-app purchases are.
• Data safety: the Data safety section lists what data an app collects or shares.
• Sign-in wall: install the app and open it. If it asks you to create an account before you can log a workout, an account is required.
• Trial terms: find out what happens when a trial ends and what you lose if you stop paying, especially access to your own history.
• Export: check whether you can export your workout history to a file you keep.
