## What is CounterUps?

CounterUps counts your push-ups for you. Put your iPhone on the floor under your chest, screen up. On Face ID iPhones the front camera watches each rep, so you don't have to tap.

# Train to earn screen time
Block the apps that distract you and unlock them with push-ups. Requires iOS Screen Time. Pro can change how many seconds each rep is worth.

# Automatic counting
- Front camera / TrueDepth (recommended on Face ID iPhones)
- Proximity sensor as an alternative
- Sound and haptics, so you don't need to watch the screen
- Manual tap and voice counting always available

You can also place your iPhone in landscape beside your body: it films a side view, counts automatically, and saves a training video.

# Five workout modes
- Reps: set a number and finish it
- Time: train for a set duration
- Calories: keep going until you hit your target
- Intervals: sets and rest you define
- Free: no cap, just count

# Eight 30-day programs
Eight progressive 30-day tracks, from an absolute-beginner track to a daily 30-rep track. Three are free. Pick the weekdays that work for you, and the app builds the calendar.

# Progress
- Workout history and achievements
- Workouts can sync calories to Apple Health
- Apple Watch counting with motion sensors
- Full statistics, strength curves, and the yearly calendar are Pro

# Free and Pro
Free includes automatic counting, all five modes, screen-time exchange, achievements, and three 30-day programs.

Pro unlocks the other five programs, full statistics, the training calendar, deeper analysis, iCloud sync, custom scheduling, an adjustable exchange rate, and more app icons (2 free, 4 with Pro).

Some subscription plans include a free trial. Price and trial eligibility are shown in the app before you confirm a purchase.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-07-29*

Amazing app, has records, week graphics, screen time in exchance for pushups and alot more. Best app i found, recommend it (is mostly free)

**Developer response:** Yes, I‘m glad you like it.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2026-06-26*

Very good, helped me a lot in calisthenics. The app should include what type of pushups i did, like regular, pseudo, diamond, one-arm, strict one-arm, incline, pikes, decline, etc etc.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much, Justin! I’m really glad the app helps with your calisthenics training.

Your suggestion is excellent. Tracking different push-up variations such as regular, diamond, incline, decline, pike, pseudo, one-arm, and strict one-arm push-ups would make the app much more useful for serious training.

I’ll look into adding push-up type tracking in a future update. Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback!

### 5/5 — 一些问题

*2026-06-07*

距离传感器不灵敏优化一下，你可以下载pushr这家体验一下

**Developer response:** 好的，谢谢，我试了，最近两三代的苹果手机对距离传感器有一些调整。如果你是最近几代的苹果手机的话，可以点一下训练页面的左下角切换成相机感应模式，那个就不依赖距离传感器，会比较准。

### 5/5 — 有你真棒

*2026-04-29*

之前做俯卧撑不能连续，希望在你的监督下，保持，坚持，棒棒的！

**Developer response:** 好的，加油

### 5/5 — The app keeps closing out

*2026-03-18*

When I try to access the app, it keeps closing on its own. It's been doing this for a while now. Please fix this issue is

**Developer response:** The problem has been solved. Please update the latest version of the app and have a try. You can also download the beta version: https://testflight.apple.com/join/myFEz6DW

### 5/5 — 改进意见

*2025-10-27*

产品很好，很喜欢。我已经充值成永久会员了。
提一点小小的建议，界面可以带点颜色，例如黑色，蓝色，金色等等，会显得更活泼一点，参考一下跳绳顶流app:yaoyao APP，它可以保存长图，适合发朋友圈，界面上有这个app的logo或者名称或者二维码，放在顶部或者最下面，有利于被动的宣传。
还可以参考一下75派跳绳，它的细节也做的很棒。
其他方面都挺好的，很喜欢，

**Developer response:** 非常感谢🙏

### 3/5 — Basic app, works

*2024-06-25*

The counter works fine for the free version. You will need to pay for the calendar and stats part, as well as the plans. You are able to see your All Time, monthly, and weekly push ups through “leaderboard” with game centre. It has history of your past inputs but i still haven't found the widgets that it claims to have.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback. The widget is relatively simple now. I am developing a new version.

### 4/5 — 弹的请不要太频繁

*2023-12-25*

影响使用体验

### 1/5 — 骗人

*2023-12-08*

数字根本就不会动

### 4/5 — 不计数

*2023-09-20*

放地上了，俯卧撑不计数

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2026.9.14 — 2026-09-15

This update:
• Camera detection now tells you the first rep may be used to calibrate and might not count.
• Fixed an extra rep that could be counted when you stand up after finishing.
• Fixed a crash that could happen when an alert appeared during landscape recording, and a freeze that could happen when ending a workout.
• New installs now start with a first workout; the Settings update entry is labeled "View in App Store".

### 2026.8.11 — 2026-08-12

New: landscape workout recording and training videos:
• Preview, pause, and play your video full screen from the results page.
• Paused segments are automatically combined when you resume, and videos can be saved to Photos or shared.
• View, play, delete, or clear local training videos in Settings.
• Improved camera orientation, workout recovery, and rep-counting reliability.

### 2026.8.7 — 2026-08-09

What’s New:
· Fixed an issue that could cause the first push-up of a workout to be missed.
· Improved depth-detection guidance. When the app cannot read the depth of your face, it now clearly tells you to adjust your phone’s position.

### 2026.8.4 — 2026-08-06

· Fixed camera detection counting nothing at all on some devices
· Fixed the "depth detection failed" message that sometimes appeared when starting camera detection
· Camera detection now recalibrates when your range of motion shrinks late in a set, so fewer reps are missed
· Workouts completed inside a training plan now count toward medals, leaderboards and your workout history
· Ending a workout now requires a press and hold, so it can no longer be triggered by accident mid-set

### 2026.7.15 — 2026-07-23

What’s New:

• Improved camera-based push-up counting with adaptive calibration for more reliable counting across posture changes, faster movements, and brief detection interruptions.
• Improved interval workouts: start the next set during rest or skip the rest period; reps and set counts are now more accurate when you resume early.
• Improved Manual Mode and workout video recording: the End button is easier to use, and front-camera recording starts more reliably.
• Added a 5-minute redemption option to App Blocker: each push-up can now unlock 5 minutes of app usage.
• Bug fixes and stability improvements.
