Gym Hero

- FIX: you can change the exercise name by tapping the title
- FIX: some of you were getting errors when opening the statistics, that should be a thing of the past
- FIX: muscle groups are assigned automatically for known exercises
- FIX: in app purchases are properly activated (use the "restore" function in the training plan section)

Decimal fix? Coming right up in the next update! As always, we welcome you to come chat with us at https://gymhero.me/community

- fixes the bug that did not allow entering decimals in the weight when your current keyboard uses different number formatting than your primary iOS device language
- fixes the bug where when returning from the timer would jump to the next set

Excuse me Mam/Sir, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and...

... I mean about our last update? The horrible one that crashed all the time when adding sets? Well here's the update we promised. Changes:

- the crashes are fixed, I repeat, the crashes are fixed, you can go back to your workouts!
- interface for logging sets completely rewritten (for speed and stability)
- fix runkeeper sync (please log out and in again)
- fixes the purchase button for plans
- fixes the "suggest a feature" function in the app

Please give it a go, and if this update is better than the last, we'd love to get your review in the app store. We had to take a good beating there in the last weeks, and would love some love :)

- iOS 12 compatibility
- fix: some workouts could not be synced to healthkit
- fix: some workouts were not ordered chronologically
- fix: share button now larger than 2 pixels
- fix: crashes for some users when restoring purchases
- fix: syncing purchased plans from free to pro works again
- update 1/2 to improve the crashers when entering sets… stay tuned, another one will follow!
- GDPR improvements (I know, right??)

Fixes the statistics screen on iOS 11.3

Fixes the bug where when adding an exercise it looked like another exercise got overwritten. If you still encounter this or any other bug, *please* contact us via the community button in the app and we'll help you right away! Apart from the bug fixes, this update brings a bunch of improvements as well:

- Brings back old stopwatch behaviour where it always automatically starts running when you open it
- Streamlines the sharing options: instead of integrating code from other companies like facebook, twitter and instagram that helps share workouts to social networks we use the sharing methods from iOS. This way these companies can't collect your Gym Hero usage data.
- Improved Runkeeper connection

Thanks for reading, thanks for updating and thanks for using the app! And remember that we're always just one tap away: try the in app community where you can reach us directly.

Oh, and the progress pics you take in the app are now backed up to your camera roll. And we fixed the bug that didn't allow you to take progress pics. And we have some killer training plans for you to conquer 2017 and be in the shape of your life for summer!

This update lowers the chance you will skip leg day by 10%.

- fixed the setting to deactivate Apple Health sync
- addressed the app hanging on startup in the launch screen (contact hello@gymheroapp.com if you're still affected)

1) BRAND NEW statistics section (try tapping the numbers)

***We wish you a great start into the new year***

Thanks for your support, great feedback and millions of logged workouts in 2015! Without you guys it would be only have as much fun to make this app.

For a perfect start into the new year we have a little something for you: Training pans!

Choose between various plans which will help you to reach your fitness goals in 2016. Also: If you are missing a plan make sure to let us know.


If you are still looking for an after christmas present for us, a positive app store review would be the perfect gift ;) Thanks!

- Fixed that some people couldn't open exercises anymore (SORRY)
- Fixed display of active energy in Apple Health
- Fixed sharing of progress pics
- Some bug fixes under the hood

If you can't share your workout pictures to facebook anymore: This happens when you have the facebook app installed. Facebook recently decided to not let apps prepopulate a status update for the user, neither with text nor with an image. The only solution for now would be to first save your workout summary/progress pic to your photo gallery with Gym Hero, and then select that photo in the facebook sharing dialog. There's nothing we can do - it's a policy from facebook that they recently started enforcing.

We know you take selfies. It's ok. We all do. Here's Gym Hero 2.3, the selfie edition.

But let's call them PROGRESS PICS, alright?

After every workout you now have the possibility to grab a quick picture and overlay it with some statistics of your workout. You can take pictures to document your visual progress by taking a selfie, or you can just share a quick photo of your workout right to instagram, facebook, or whereever you wish. Not enough? Cool, cool... Here's a list of the other new things in this release:

- Made the workouts list load a LOT faster
- Searchable workout history (this is a lot cooler than it sounds, especially if you've been using the app for a while)
- Device won't go to sleep while you're logging a workout and when the timer is active
- Made the timer look slick (and readable from a distance)
- Indicate how many planned workouts exist

Good stuff? No?? Yes??? I you like what we do please leave us a positive review on the app store or update your existing review. This would really support us! Thanks!

What? Another update? Wasn't Gym Hero 2.0 just released? Yes it was. And here is:

Gym Hero 2.2 the "we hear you" release:

- We made the start screen nicer and painted some walls
- In the workout summary, you see last time's performance for each set (if you have the upgrade)
- FIXED: receipt validation for 'restore purchases'
- FIXED: workout note was missing in summary of finished workouts
- FIXED: keyboard overlapping exercise name list
- FIXED: occasional errors in statistics screen

Tip of hat to Shekhar for helping us out with Gym Hero 2.0 In case you're still on Gym Hero 1, here's what was new

*** GYM HERO 2.0 ***
Boom shakalaka! Here's Gym Hero 2.0 and it's a free upgrade. First we fixed the crashes then we added this cool new stuff:

New overall design:
------------------------
We focused on making the app easier to understand, easier to use and more pleasant to look at. Basically, we took out the trash and cleaned the whole place up.

Performance:
---------------
We made the app so super blazing fast that even on an iPhone 4S with iOS 7 it's a pleasure to use. No worries though, we've got you covered for anything from the iPhone 6+ to iOS 9.

Workout summary card:
----------------------------
After each completed workout, you'll get a summary card highlighting the key metrics of your workout. There’s also a heat map of your body that shows which muscle groups you've trained in that workout. These cards look so good you'll want to share them to your Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or even send them to your friends via WhatsApp. Luckily, you can do this right in the app.

New workout logging screen:
----------------------------------
Oh boy, remember the spinners to enter your workouts? They're gone. We came up with a unique keypad based solution that still has both the smarts and the convenience factor of the old, trusted system. You can still log the WHOLE WORKOUT with A SINGLE THUMB and it's even easier than before.

New exercise/workout name finder:
-------------------------------------------------
We revamped the way you pick exercise or workout names. Now, we'll present you with an alphabetical list of all names you've used so far whenever you need to name something. Typing two or three letters instantly slims down the list to names matching your search. This autocomplete is the fastest way to enter names. Personally, I actually enjoy entering names like this, but that might just be me.

Planned workout section:
-----------------------
We know that some of you like to plan workouts ahead, so we added a workout scheduler. The new “Planned workouts” section then collects all workouts that are not marked as finished or are scheduled for a future date.

Startup crash fixed:
-------------------
Last but not least! A lot of you suffered from a bug where the app would crash right after starting. We’re very sorry. That bug was extremely hard to reproduce (none of our test devices had it). We even met with a couple of our users to hook up their phones to our laptop and see the bug in its natural habitat.

That bug is now squashed. Sorry it took so long. We’re just two guys doing this in our spare time and we’re kind of lacking spare time since we both became daddies. If you gave us a bad review in the App Store because of the crash, that’s cool - but it would absolutely rock if you could update your review if you like this version :)
