Help & FAQ

Logging your workouts

Exercises: which ones can I track?

Six bodyweight exercises: Push-ups, Pull-ups, Squats, Lunges, Burpees and Planks. With Premium you can add your own, each with its name, color, icon and unit, reps or seconds, and its own achievements. In Manage exercises you can hide or reorder them.

How do I log a set?

Tap the exercise, set your reps on the scroll wheel, and tap Save. There’s no timer to start and no setup. Each exercise starts at your last entry, so the next one is faster.

Rep counting: is it automatic?

No. You enter your reps yourself after each set. There’s no sensor and no phone placement to worry about, which keeps your count simple and accurate.

Timer: how does it work?

Exercises counted in seconds, like the plank, have a stopwatch. Tap Start, then Done when you finish. Adjust the recorded time if needed, then tap Save. If you timed it elsewhere, select the seconds on the logging wheel and tap Save. The timer stops at six hours, so a forgotten timer cannot distort your stats.

Free and Premium

Free or paid: what does Premium add?

Kountrain is free to use, with no ads and no time limit. Premium is one payment, not a subscription. You see the price in your currency before you pay, and Apple or Google handles the payment.

Free

  • Logging, and the six built-in exercises
  • Goals, streaks, stats and achievements
  • Reminders
  • Export and import of your workouts

Premium

  • Your own exercises, as many as you like

If the six built-in exercises are all you need, you never pay.

Premium on another device: do I pay again?

No. Your Premium is still yours. It belongs to your App Store or Google Play account.

  1. In Settings, tap the Kountrain Premium card at the top.
  2. Tap Restore purchase.

Use the same account you bought with. There’s no separate login. Apple and Google are separate stores, so a purchase on iPhone does not carry over to Android.

Progress and goals

Streaks: how do they work?

Log at least one workout on consecutive days and your streak grows. Miss a day and it starts again. Kountrain shows your Current streak and your Longest streak.

Calories: how are they estimated?

From each exercise’s effort, adjusted for your weight and sex. Add them in Settings, under Your Body, for a closer estimate; without a weight, Kountrain uses 70 kg. An exercise you add uses the calories you give it. These are estimates, not medical measurements.

Progress: what can I see?

Stats shows your totals and calories over recent days, weeks and months, by exercise, with your current and longest streak. Achievements has milestones to unlock, from streaks to lifetime reps.

Daily goal: how does it work?

In Settings, set a Daily goal in reps or in calories, and Home shows your progress toward it. You feel a light tap the moment you reach it.

Reminders: can I get one?

Yes. In Settings, turn on Reminders and pick a time. They only arrive on days you have not trained, so they nudge without nagging.

Your data

Workout history: does it stay private?

Yes. Your workout history is saved on your device and never uploaded, and there’s no account.

Kountrain sends anonymous usage statistics and crash reports, tied to a random ID. They carry nothing that identifies you. Their only job is to help us make Kountrain better.

Export and import: how do I keep a copy?

In Settings, tap Export workouts. You get a CSV file with every workout, to save or share anywhere. To bring it back, on this phone or a new one, tap Import workouts and choose the file. Workouts already in your history are skipped, so nothing is replaced. Both are free.

Your phone’s own backup also includes your history, when backup is on.

Still need help?

If something is not working or you have a question, go to Settings and tap Send us a message, or email us. For anything about Premium, tell us which device and which store you bought on.
