What's new 🚨

Personal record badges
‍Every set now shows animated record badges for load, mean power, reps, and mean velocity — each displayed as a percentage of your all-time best. Tap any badge for a detail sheet with context on where you stand: new record, closing in, or building your baseline.

Velocity trends
‍A new trend card compares your current set velocity against your six-week historical average. See at a glance whether you're trending up (well recovered and ready to push, trending down (potentially fatigued or not lifting with intent), or holding steady, and tap through for a detailed chart breakdown.

Set quality warnings
‍After each recording, Metric now analyses your setup and flags potential issues — viewing angle, framing, plate size, 0 rep reps, and device stability. These replace the old generic "no reps" message with specific, actionable feedback so you can fix issues and get better data on your next set.

Device stability detection
‍Your phone now needs to be stable before recording can begin. An on-screen status pill shows whether your device is ready, needs to be held steady, or stood upright. Recording is disabled until the device is stationary and automatically stops if significant movement is detected mid-set.

Fullscreen video playback
‍Video playback can now be expanded to full screen with a tap. Includes a time scrubber, mute toggle, and your bar path and stats overlay — all carried over seamlessly between the mini player and expanded view.

Intuitive video playback
Video thumbnails are now extracted from the first rep in your set to provide better context and video playback now starts playing from 1 second your first rep starts, making technique review more efficient.

Improvements ✨

• Set history improvements. More details are now included on your set history list including a video thumbnail, your best rep velocity and % fatigue in the set.
• Faster real-time processing. Frame rates during live recording have jumped from 30fps into the high 40s and low 50s on devices that support 60fps, meaning smoother tracking and fewer missed data points.
• Smarter weight formatting. Decimal loads like 72.5kg now display correctly across the app.

Bug fixes 🐛

• Fixed set data failing to load on some sessions
• Fixed an issue where Real-time recordings were dropping video frames during processing
• Fixed an issue with video imports and crashes on some Android chipsets and devices

What's new 🚨

Set highlight bar
‍The set review screen now shows your best rep, set average, and fatigue/consistency metrics right at the top. Key performance data for every set, all at a glance.

Improvements ✨

• Midpoint zoom for ultrawide cameras. Wide ultrawide lenses (0.5x, 0.6x) now snap to a tighter midpoint zoom (0.75x, 0.8x), making it easier to frame your setup without switching cameras.
• Persistent selfie cam settings. Your camera selection and zoom level now carry over between sets, so you're not re-adjusting every time you hit record.
• Faster video imports. All imported videos process significantly faster, with 1080p processing speeds up to 2x quicker than before.

Bug fixes 🐛

• Fixed a crash when importing 4K video
• Fixed bar path inversion on selfie cam recordings
• Fixed video rotation detection on imported videos on some Android devices that was causing zero reps or only detecting walkouts (XY axis inversion)
• Fixed a spacing issue on the record action button
• Improved recording controls layout
• Disabled uploading 480p videos, which don't have enough resolution for accurate barbell tracking

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.

And coaches? You can run this once for your entire organization, updating everyone’s training history in one go!
