2.1.2
2023-03-21
- Better support for different locales
- Fixed some bugs
2.1.1
2023-03-15
Train FLEX and your muscles at the same time!
Now you can enable automatic exercise detection by teaching your FLEX how you lift.
Once FLEX has LEARNED your individual movement pattern EXERCISE ASSIST automatically detects the exercise you are performing.
Use this to automatically correct your exercise type should you forget to change exercise.
EXERCISE ASSIST also improves measurement quality as once your movements are "Trained" FLEX is much better at rejecting noise and ghost reps.
New icons inform you of which exercises types are in LEARNING MODE, UNTRAINED and TRAINED.
Under the SETTINGS menu there is a new option EXERCISE ASSIST.
Have FUN and train SMART!

Fixed Workouts appearing to remain in library after deleting.

A race condition meant that on saving session edits, sometimes 'load record data from cache' happened before edits were sent to the server and the edit would not stick.
