Match an exercise tracker to the records you need rather than the length of its feature list.
Try a representative session
Include one exercise with uneven repetitions and another with a setup note. Check whether those details are easy to find when you return to the workout.
Inspect data access
Look at history limits, chart ranges and export. A downloadable CSV is useful only if it contains the fields you need.
Confirm requirements separately
Device support, import, synchronization and coaching are separate capabilities. Do not infer one from the availability of another.
Test the workflow with a realistic session
Before moving a long history into a new tracker, create a small sample routine using movements you already recognize. Record unequal sets, change one weight, and add a short equipment note. Then leave the entry screen and find those results again. This exposes practical problems that a feature list cannot: an awkward correction flow, unclear exercise names, or a history view that omits the detail you need. These are suggested checks, not a claim that any competing app passed them.
Separate requirements from preferences
Write down what must work during a session and what is only convenient later. Logging a corrected result might be essential; a decorative chart might not be. Check the current Free/Premium boundary for your required history range and whether export gives you usable files. If offline access or device transfer matters, verify that specific workflow before relying on it. Do not infer synchronization from an export button or from an app being available on two devices.
