Version 6.2 - Stability enhancements

October 13, 2025

What's new 🚨

Faster Video Processing

We've made imported video analysis noticeably faster, especially with 4K footage. You'll still see some processing time, but videos now load almost instantly into the app and processing is much faster with less battery drain too. 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.

History Sets View

You can now toggle between viewing individual sets or full workouts in your history. Handy for tracking specific lifts over time or reviewing complete training sessions.

Improvements ✨

  • More stable camera controls. Recording buttons are now properly disabled during processing, which prevents those annoying navigation issues mid-set
  • Better workout syncing. Fixed the lag that some users experienced once they were 2-3 exercises into their workout - Metric was overly eager in its data saving calls to the cloud so we have optimised this flow for better performance while maintaining your real-time data backup.
  • Smoother set editing. Improved how the app handles edits to your sets during active workouts.
  • iOS 26 liquid glass effect. Added the new visual treatment to the active workout overlay and a number of small touches throughout the app

Bug fixes πŸ›

  • Camera now remembers your front/rear preference between sets
  • Fixed Pro member access issues caused by some network edge cases
  • Removed phantom video placeholders that were persisting in the video library
  • Fixed workout deletion button from history view
  • Fixed bug where trial videos were deleted when switching to free (free users can now also access their videos recorded during the trial for export even after the Pro trial ends)
  • Keyboard now dismisses properly when tapping RPE fields
  • Various stability, connection and app efficiency improvements throughout the app

September 12, 2025

What's new 🚨

FHD Video Resolution
‍
Ready to see every detail of your lift? You can now record in sharp full high definition 1080p video. Processing takes a bit longer with 1080p, and video files will take up more storage space on your phone so if space is an issue or your training flow requires quick access to your phone and rest timers after each set then stick with the 720p recording option, accuracy is great with either option!

Lightning-Fast Workout Logging
‍
Say goodbye to loading delays and processing spinners that kill your workout momentum. Every set completion in the workout builder is now instant - this has solved some data syncing issues when editing workouts in your history too. There are new set controls too, swipe left to delete any set from a workout or swipe right on the next upcoming set for access to manual entry and video import options on velocity tracked exercises.

Set Magic Auto-Fill - Progressive Overload Made Simple
‍
Planning to add reps across all your sets? Just update set one, and watch the magic happen - every following set automatically updates too. Whether you're jumping from 10 to 12 reps or adding weight across the entire workout, Metric’s intuitive auto-fill means making gains has never been this effortless.

In-line Exercise Timers
Each exercise now gets its own in-line rest timer alongside your master timer, ensuring you hit the optimal rest window for every movement.

Enhanced Profile Charts
‍
Your profile charts now overlay your 6-week average or last session profile alongside today's developing data, giving you instant context for every lift. Even better, your historical context line is shown immediately when you start training - so you can plan your working sets from your very first warm up set.

RPE Table Upgrades
‍
The RPE/RIR table now displays your historical reference data as soon as you open your workout, letting you strategize your loads before completing any sets today. The table is now fully interactive, just tap on an RPE row or a rep count column to light up the values for easy data sorting.

Sample Training Templates
‍
Need inspiration? Get started faster with four professionally designed templates covering strength, power, and hypertrophy training goals. Each template includes detailed program notes and can be used as-is, modified/duplicated to fit your needs, or simply serve as inspiration for your own routines. Find them in the programming library and start training immediately.

Improved Template and Exercise Management
‍
Take full control of your programming library with the ability to permanently delete programs and custom exercises. This keeps your Metric training environment organized and removes clutter, ensuring your active templates are ready when you need them. To delete a custom exercise just swipe left on that exercise any time you are in the exercise list. Programs can be deleted from the program options menu.

Zoom buttons
‍
Fine-tune your video capture with dedicated zoom stepper buttons for easy framing. You can also use the pinch-to-zoom for incremental adjustments.

Training History Upgrade
‍
Retroactively enhance every set you've ever recorded with our new metric backfilling process. In seconds, your entire training history gets upgraded with eccentric power and time-to-peak velocity data.
