Frequently asked questions

How does the DOTS score work?

DOTS is a recognised powerlifting index that weights a lifted load by the athlete's bodyweight. In practice, it lets a 65 kg athlete and a 95 kg athlete be compared on a fair basis. PvPr applies the official formula with distinct coefficients for men and women.

My displayed 1RM does not match what I actually lift

The 1RM shown is an estimate computed with the Epley formula from your sets. It is reliable up to roughly 12 repetitions; beyond that the estimate becomes too imprecise and PvPr deliberately caps the calculation. Never attempt a theoretical maximal load without warming up and without a spotter.

I lost a workout / the app had no network

PvPr is built to work offline: your sets are stored locally on your phone and synced when the connection comes back. If an "Offline mode" banner is showing, go to Profile → Settings → Workouts waiting to sync and tap to retry.

How do I join a friend's group?

Ask them for their 6-character invite code (shown at the top of the group screen), then go to Duels → Join and enter it.

Why am I not in a challenge leaderboard?

Challenges are opt-in: being a member of the group is not enough, you have to tap "Join the challenge" to enter the leaderboard. Pending invitations appear on the home screen and in the Duels tab.

How do I report a message or block someone?

Tap the ⋯ menu at the top right of any post or comment in a group feed, then choose Report or Block this user. Reporting asks you for a reason and sends the content to us for review — we act on anything breaching our rules within 24 hours. Blocking is instant and needs no validation: the person's posts and comments disappear from every feed you see, on all your devices. You can unblock from Profile → Settings → Blocked users.

How do I delete my account and my data?

From the app: Profile → Settings → Delete my account. Deletion is permanent and erases your profile, workouts, records and duel entries. The full procedure, including by email, is described on the Account deletion page.

Is the app paid?

Not for everyday use. Logging your workouts, browsing your whole history and your PRs, joining groups and duels: all of that is free, ad-free and has no time limit.

An optional subscription, PvPr PRO, lifts ceilings: creating groups and challenges without limit, DOTS normalisation in duels, chart history with no date limit, and CSV export. It comes with a The exact prices are shown in the app before any purchase, and the subscription can be cancelled at any time from your store account.

Nothing you already recorded becomes inaccessible without a subscription: only creating new items beyond the free ceilings requires PvPr PRO.

The exercises are in French but I search in English

Both work. The app is available in English and French, and the catalogue keeps both names for every exercise: typing "bench press" or "développé couché" finds the same movement either way.

My rest timer does not ring when the screen is locked

Check that you have allowed notifications for PvPr in your phone settings. On Android 14 and above, the system can also restrict exact alarms: the notification still arrives, but possibly with a slight delay. The countdown shown inside the app always stays accurate.
