It also includes a personal trainer module and supports English, Portuguese and Spanish.
Does LoadWise work on iPhone and Android like Gravl?
Yes — LoadWise is a Progressive Web App (PWA). Open it in your phone's browser and add it to your home screen in one tap. It works on any iOS or Android device without going through the App Store or Play Store.
