Version 5.4 - Expanded language support, better charts

May 14, 2025

What's new 🚨

Global Language Expansion
Metric now speaks your language! We've added support for German, Hindi, Polish, and Japanese, making velocity-based training accessible to athletes worldwide. Already using Metric in another language? You'll find numerous bug fixes, improvements, and tweaks to existing translations for a more polished experience. Found a translation issue? We want to hear about it - get in touch: community@metric.coach

Improvements ✨

  • Enhanced Chart Interactions. We've refined the touch responsiveness of our charts, making them smoother to interact with and easier to activate exactly when you want them.
  • Expanded Exercise Library. Browse new exercises now available in the exercise library for your next workout. More variety means more opportunities to track your progress across different training modalities.

Bug fixes 🐛

  • Performance Chart Data Loading. Fixed bugs affecting data loading and real-time syncing on the performance chart page, ensuring your training data appears instantly and accurately.
  • Date Formatting Consistency. Standardized date formatting and capitalization throughout the app for a more professional, consistent experience.

Version 5.3 - Peak velocity for trends, rep auto-hide

April 11, 2025

What's new 🚨

Peak Velocity as Default Metric
You can now make Peak Velocity your default metric for records and for trend tracking. Customize this setting for the entire Metric app or on an exercise-specific basis to get the most relevant data for your training style. (Pro tip: Peak values are perfect for loaded jumps making it an even better readiness test for your athletes!)

Enhanced Trends Analysis
We've expanded the Trends chart functionality to give you more control over your data visualization:

  • Toggle between mean or peak velocity measurements on a per-exercise basis
  • View your progress across multiple timescales, no longer limited to just 6 weeks
  • Get deeper insights into your performance patterns with more flexible data options

Intelligent Rep Filtering
Metric already does a lot of work to filter out unrack and rerack ghost reps from your set, but sometimes they still sneak in, especially the catches on jumps or Olympic lifts. Now Metric performs a second sweep and auto-hides any suspected false detections from the set. If it gets it wrong, just scroll down to the set review and unhide the rep to add it back into your set data.

Improvements ✨

  • Redesigned Home Page Layout. We've reorganized the home screen with cleaner button organization for more intuitive navigation and faster access to your most-used features.
  • Real-time Data Updates. Progress charts and training history views now respond better to showing training data edits in real-time, giving you instant feedback when you make changes.

Bug fixes 🐛

  • Translation Enhancements. Improved translations and optimizations across all locales for a more natural experience regardless of your language preference. (More supported languages are on their way too!)
  • Training History Edits. Fixed a bug when editing a set from your training history that prevented the changes from showing in the UI.
  • Trends Chart Refresh. Resolved a data refresh issue in the trends charts that occasionally showed outdated information.
  • Personal Records Alignment. Fixed a bug that was causing some personal records to fall out of alignment with your actual training history when editing or deleting sets.
  • Simplified Payments Page. Hid the family plans for simpler clarity on the payments pages.
  • Visual Refinements. Color and font tweaks for both dark and light mode to improve readability and visual consistency.
  • UI Improvements. Various UI and interaction improvements throughout the app for a smoother user experience.

October 29, 2024

Italian Language Support
Ciao!

We're excited to welcome our Italian users with full app translation support. We've implemented complete Italian language integration throughout the app, ensuring a native language experience for our Italian users.

Improvements ✨

Enhanced 1RM Estimation
We've refined our e1RM calculator to show a result in more contexts. The system now shows estimates when you've recorded three or more sets, requiring either a 60% spread in weights or a 0.25m/s spread in best-rep mean velocities. This update means more workouts will display 1RM values, including sessions with smaller weight ranges.

Expanded Website Documentation
The Metric user guide is now available in more languages with the addition of Portuguese and Chinese translations. We've integrated direct in-app links that take you straight to the content in your preferred language, creating a seamless experience for our global community of athletes.

  • Import videos from digital cameras or other devices

For optimal results, we recommend using videos recorded at 60fps. Note: Slow-motion video is not recommended. Metric recording guidelines can be found at this link.

Add Imported Videos to Workout History
Enhance your existing workouts by adding imported video sets to your workout history. You can also start a new workout from an imported video, giving you the flexibility to record all your sets with your device's camera app and import them later.

Quick record
Sometimes you might not want to complete an entire workout, and just want to analyse 1-2 key sets. Thanks to the quick record option, you can do exactly this, directly from the home screen. Tap the record a set button, enter your exercise details and go straight to the Metric camera to start lifting.
