Gear vs Hevy
Hevy is the established workout logger. Gear is the social first lifting app. Hevy is bigger. We are not going to claim otherwise.

A 4.9 from tens of thousands of ratings is a real signal. Gear’s 5.0 from 17 is a nice start and a tiny sample. Need Android, or already live in Hevy’s routines? Stay. Open a lifting app to see what your friends did today? Try Gear.
