At the completion of your session you can now see an overview of how your session went, every record, every trending set, all the work you did, in one place.
Improvements ✨
- Improved Trends calculation and visualisation - Trends have been reworked to provide a more meaningful indication of your fatigue and performance status (readiness) in real-time. Trends compares the mean velocity of your best 3 reps from the current set, with your 6-week average for all sets of the same exercise and weight. You can also see a mini chart for this 6-week trend from the set review page. Learn more about Trends on the Metric Blog →

Learn more about how Metric calculates Trends here →
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.

Barbell tracking with computer vision
Record 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
Playback 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
Every 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 — all at a glance.
