Apple App Store Purchase

If you purchased Stronglifts Pro Family through the Apple App Store, you can share access using Apple's Family Sharing. The person who made the purchase needs to set up a Family Group on their device and invite each member. Once this is done, everyone in the group can access Stronglifts Pro.

The instructions below will show you how to share Stronglifts Pro Family with your family members if you purchased this plan from the Apple App Store.

How to Set Up Apple Family Sharing

If you purchased Stronglifts Pro Family from the Apple App Store, the first step is to set up Apple Family Sharing. Here's how to do this...

  1. Update every device to iOS 18 or later. The instructions on this page are specifically for iOS 18. If you're using an older version of iOS, your device's screens might appear different. To update to the latest version, go to your phone settings > General > Software update.
  2. Take the device on which you purchased Stronglifts Pro Family. Tap your name, tap "Family," then tap Continue.
  3. If the family member you'd like to add appears in the list of suggestions, tap "Invite" next to their name. If they don't show, tap "Invite Others," choose "Mail," and enter the email address of the family member you want to invite.
  4. Your family member will receive your invitation by email. Please ask them to open the email and ask to tap the link inside. They should then select "Join Family"
  5. After this, you'll receive a notification that they've been added to your family group.

How to Share Access with Family Members

Once you've set up family sharing on your iOS device, you need to share the purchase with your family members. How to do this depends on the type of family plan that you purchased.

Stronglifts Pro Family Yearly or Quarterly

  1. Go to the App Store
  2. Tap "Account" > "Subscriptions"
  3. Tap "Stronglifts"
  4. Enable "Share with Family"

Stronglifts Pro Family Lifetime

  1. Go to your device settings
  2. Tap "Family", then tap "Purchase Sharing"
  3. Tap "Continue," then tap "Turn On"

What to Do if Apple Family Sharing Doesn't Work

If your family members don't have access to Stronglifts Pro Family after following the steps above, please try the following:

  • Update iOS to the latest version. We've had cases where family sharing didn't work because one of the devices was using an outdated version of iOS. Please go to your device settings > general > software update. You should do this for every device that needs access to Stronglifts Pro Family.
  • Update Stronglifts to the latest version. Stronglifts Pro Family may not work if one of the devices uses an outdated version of Stronglifts. Please update by going to the App Store > Account > Updates > find Stronglifts > tap Update.
  • Update the App Store region. We've had cases where Family Sharing didn't work because one of the family members used a different App Store region. It seems like Apple requires the same region for every family member. You can change the App Store region by going to your device settings, tap your name, tap "Media & Purchases," tap "View Account," sign in if needed, tap "Country/Region," tap "Change Country or Region," then select the same region as the family member who purchased Stronglifts Pro Family.
  • Reinstall the app with the proper Apple ID. If you downloaded the app with one Apple ID but are now trying to use it with a different Apple ID for Family Sharing, the subscription might not work. To fix this issue, uninstall the app from your device and reinstall it using the Apple ID registered in "Media & Purchases." This process usually resolves the subscription activation problem.

If it still doesn't work after that, please email us for assistance. Contact us from the Stronglifts app > settings > report an issue (or email support@stronglifts.com).

Stronglifts Pro Family FAQs

How do I upgrade to Stronglifts Pro Family?

Stronglifts Pro Family is currently only available on iOS and through the Stronglifts website.

  • iOS: Open the Stronglifts app on your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Subscription. You will find the option to upgrade to Stronglifts Pro Family.
  • Website: Go to https://stronglifts.com/app/discount/ and sign up to the newsletter. You will receive a link to a page where you can sign up for Stronglifts Pro Family Lifetime at a discount.

Why is Stronglifts Pro Family not available on Android?

Google only supports Family Sharing for paid apps. Stronglifts is a free-to-download app with in-app purchases. Google doesn't support family sharing for subscriptions and in-app purchases (source).

If Google makes family sharing available for subscriptions and in-app purchases, we'll be happy to implement it on Android like we did on iOS. For now, the workaround is to purchase Stronglifts Pro Family through the Stronglifts website. We can bypass Google's restrictions and add Stronglifts Pro to the account of your family members - whether they use iOS or Android.

Can I share Stronglifts Pro Family with family members without an iOS device?

Yes. If you bought StrongLifts Pro Family through the Apple App Store, you cannot directly share it with family members using Android devices because Apple Family Sharing isn't available on Android. However, if you contact us with your family members' accounts, we can add them for you. Please ask them to login from Stronglifts > settings > profile then email us a screenshot of that.

Why does Stronglifts Pro Family Lifetime not show in my Apple subscriptions?

This is normal. Lifetime plans are not subscriptions. They're one-time purchases without recurring fees. So they never show under your subscriptions when you visit your App Store account settings. Only Stronglifts Pro Family Yearly or Quarterly will show under your subscriptions.

You can share Stronglifts Pro Family Lifetime plan like this:

  1. Go to your device settings
  2. Tap "Family Sharing"
  3. Tap "Purchase Sharing."
  4. Enable "Share Purchases with Family".

After this, your Stronglifts Pro Family Lifetime plan will be shared with everyone in your family group.
