How do I recover workouts from my old device?

Update both devices to the latest version of Stronglifts, iOS and Android
Old device > Stronglifts > Settings > Profile > Login.
New device > Stronglifts > Settings > Profile > Login with the same account.

When you log in on the old device, you create an account and save all your workouts to our server. Those workouts are recovered to the new device when you log in with the same account there.

I don't have my old device anymore. How do I recover my old workouts?

Stronglifts > Settings > Profile
Login with your old account
Your workouts will be back.

If you were not logged in on your old device, your workouts were saved locally on that device only. If you lost that device or moved to a new one before logging in first, those workouts can't be recovered as they were not uploaded to our server.

Why does my purchase show but not my workouts?

Your purchase is stored on your Apple ID or Google account inside your phone settings, together with all the other purchases that you make on the App store or Google Play. When you switch devices, your purchase information is restored by logging into your Apple ID or Google Play account.

However, your workouts are saved separately on the Stronglifts server only if you were logged in from Stronglifts > Settings > Profile. If you were not logged in, the workouts were saved locally on the device itself. It's possible to use Stronglifts without being logged in while making a purchase.

If you see your purchase but not your workouts, two things are possible:

You are logged in with a different account than the one you used before. Please go to Stronglifts > Settings > Profile. Logout then log in with other accounts you may own. If you used one of those accounts before, your workouts will be back.
You were not logged in inside Stronglifts previously. No account was created from Stronglifts > Settings > Profile. The workout data was therefore only saved locally and thus lost when switching devices. We can't recover the data in this case as we don't have it - it was never saved to our server.

I logged in with my old account but my workouts don't show

If you logged in with what you think is your old account but your workouts don't show, it's likely because this account was never actually used to log workouts on the server before. This means that when you log in now, the server treats this as a new account with no workout history.

Even though you might have been using Stronglifts on your old device, if you weren't logged in from Stronglifts > Settings > Profile, then your workouts were only stored locally on the device, not on our server. Thus, they can't be retrieved on a new device or account login.

If you had been logged in previously, your workouts would have automatically appeared when you logged back in. You can verify this by logging a new workout now, then logging out and back in. The workouts that you logged will show when you log back in.

How do I recover my workouts from Apple iCloud or Google Drive?

We don't back up your workouts to Apple iCloud or Google Drive. We back up your workouts to our server when you log in from Stronglifts > Settings > Profile.

How do I recover my workouts from Apple Health or Google Fit?

Workouts can only be recovered from your Stronglifts account, not through Apple Health or Google Fit. These platforms can receive workout information from Stronglifts if you enable this feature. But they don't store all your workout information like training program, notes, settings, etc.

To back up your Stronglifts workout history, you need to log in from Stronglifts > Settings > Profile. Otherwise your workout data won't be saved to our server, and you won't be able to recover it later from Apple Health, Google Fit, or other services.
