Set quality warnings
βAfter each recording, Metric now analyses your setup and flags potential issues β 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
βYour 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
βVideo playback can now be expanded to full screen with a tap. Includes a time scrubber, mute toggle, and your bar path and stats overlay β 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 β¨
- Set history improvements. More details are now included on your set history list including a video thumbnail, your best rep velocity and %Β 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 π
- 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
Version 0.0.2 - 4k import & bar path fixes
What's new π¨
Set highlight bar
βThe 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 β¨
- 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 π
- 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 (XYΒ 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
Version 0.0.1 - Android Private Beta
What's new π¨
Android Beta - Metric has finally arrived on Android, you can still join the Android beta at this link β
Metric for Android is here (Private Beta)
The Android beta is a focused first release, available exclusively to waitlist members, built to bring velocity-based training to every platform.
We deliberately kept the feature set small so we could ship sooner, gather feedback, and iterate.
Available now you can:
- Account creation and sign-in (syncs with your existing Metric account if you have one)
- Record sets directly in-app or import videos from your camera roll
- 1080p HD video recording
- Real-time velocity, ROM, bar path, and tempo data
- Video playback with bar path overlay
- Video export with data overlay
- Training history on your home screen
Barbell tracking with computer vision
βRecord or import your sets and get instant set data including mean velocity, range of motion and eccentric tempo. The same tracking engine that powers Metric on iOS, is now available on your Android device.
Video playback with bar path overlay
βPlayback your sets and export the video with a real-time bar path overlay, then export and share videos directly from the app. Your training footage just became a coaching tool.
Training history, search, and sharing
βEvery set and video is saved to your free training profile. Search through your historical data, review past performance, and share sets with your coach or training partners β all at a glance.
