What's new 🚨

Faster Video Processing

In-app recording is also much faster with post-set processing on 1080p videos significantly faster than before.

Improved Real-Time Feedback

We rebuilt the real-time audio feedback system from scratch. It's more reliable now with fewer missed reps and more accurate velocity and power callouts. As a bonus, the new system places much less load on your device helping the apps overall performance and reducing battery load during your workouts.
