What’s new 🚨

Per-exercise metric preferences
‍Every exercise can now have its own specifications and settings configuration. Choose which metrics appear in your bar charts, which stats overlay on your video, whether bar path is shown, and whether you log RPE. All these and more can be customized as app-wide defaults or on a per-exercise override.

Advanced metrics
‍Thirteen metrics are now available in the Metric Android including peak velocity, mean velocity, power metrics, tempo, time to peak velocity, and more for full parity with the iOS app rep metrics. Full list of available metrics here →

Double bar chart comparisons
‍Select a second metric to display side by side in your set review bar chart. Compare velocity against power, tempo against ROM, or any combination that fits your training. Set app defaults or exercise specific configurations for primary and the optional secondary metric.

Supported devices list
‍We’ve published a supported devices list so you can check whether your device meets the requirements to run Metric’s computer vision system. Android devices have a wide range of chip configurations, and not all have the GPU performance needed for accurate, real-time barbell tracking. Check if your device is on the list here →

Rep auto-hide
‍Unracks and re-racks are now automatically filtered from your set data. Your rep count and set averages reflect only your working reps, giving you cleaner data without manual editing. If Metric gets one of these wrong you can alway unhide it from the reps table in the set review.

Account & settings menu
‍New toggle options for RPE tracking and bar path overlay visibility. Customize what you see during and after your sets. The settings menu also now links directly to the changelog, Metric validation research, and user guides on the website.

Improvements ✨

• Fixes for plate detection in preview. The pre-recording plate detection system is now more responsive, giving you quicker more accurate feedback on your setup.
• HEVC video encoding. Videos now save in HEVC, cutting file sizes by roughly 50% with no loss in quality. Faster exports, less storage used.
• Image color encoding fixed. Video was appearing washed out on playback for some devices, Metric now properly matches your device color space for playback and export.
• Refreshed UI across the app. Form fields, dropdowns, and text inputs have been unified across profile, quick set, edit set, and bug report screens for a cleaner, more consistent look.
• Improved cloud syncing. Training data is now saved and written to cloud storage more efficiently.

Bug fixes 🐛

• Fixed crashes in the camera and set history screens
• Fixed an issue where some devices failed to activate the GPU for vision processing, falling back to slower CPU paths.

What's new 🚨

Plate detection preview
‍Before you hit record, Metric now shows you whether it can see your plates in the frame. This gives you real-time feedback on your setup so you can adjust your position, angle, or framing before you start your set.

Fallback tracking for Mali chipset devices
Devices outside the flagship Samsung and Pixel line ups use alternative Mali GPU chipsets, that was not playing nicely with the Metric vision tracking system. We have now added a dedicated tracking and video processing pipeline specifically for these devices. Users who were reporting zero reps, crashes and failed imports (particularly the Motorola owners), this should now be fixed and working. Processing is a little slower, but accuracy should be just as good.

Improvements ✨

• Accelerometer fallback for budget phones. Device stability detection now works on phones without high-precision sensors.
• Faster real-time processing. Another round of processing speed improvements during live recording (up to 50+ fps for real time frame tracking on a Pixel 7 as baseline).
• Better bug reporting. More diagnostic logging and error catches in the vision pipeline, so when something does go wrong, we can find it faster.

Bug fixes 🐛

• Fixed camera zoom level not initializing correctly between sessions
• Fixed a preview distortion issue on some devices
• Fixed crash causes, hangs and sluggish processing steps throughout the vision and plate tracking system
• Fixed a bug in the dropped frames fill logic for post processing

What's new 🚨

No new features in this release — this update is focused entirely on stability and performance.

Improvements ✨

Bug fixes 🐛

• Fixed numerous crashes during video import and processing
• Fixed a bug where users with a large set history couldn't open the app
• Fixed a crash in the velocity trace chart when reviewing longer video sets
• Fixed selfie cam data and bar path being inverted
• Fixed Google sign-up failing for some users

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. 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.

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
