### 1/5 — Pro não tá funcionando

*2026-07-08*

Eu comprei o produto pro, mas não está funcionando, aparece como se eu não tivesse comprado, mas já debitou do meu cartão e o aplicativo continua pedindo pra mim obter o pro

### 3/5 — It's nice when it actually works

*2026-07-04*

Sometimes it'll record. Sometimes it refuses to. Completely closing the app and restarting works most of the time.

### 3/5 — Quand ça marche, ça marche mais..

*2026-06-25, version 6.9*

Tellement souvent des mini bugs.. bugs du jour.. refus de démarrer caméra (trop de mouvements) j’utilise un trépied..

### 2/5 — Pay walls and inaccurate velocity readings.

*2026-05-18, version 6.7.7*

Can’t track ur trends workout to workout without paying. Very finicky doesn’t recognize plates unless ur angle is perfect and the velocity readings change depending on the angle. Not accurate. Was promising too.

### 2/5 — Has potential

*2026-05-06, version 6.7.5*

This is a nice idea but the level of reiability is way too low for the high subscription cost. Inadequate diagnostics for the frequent tracking fails.

### 2/5 — 购买之后依然不是pro？ bug？

*2026-04-11*

而且报错按钮一直转圈，试了很多次无效

**Developer response:** Hi, feel free to get in touch with us to diagnose and troubleshoot this bug further. You can reach us at community@metric.coach. Jacob

### 1/5 — way too many bugs

*2026-01-25*

bug一大堆。不填杠铃重量load velocity profile就会卡死，咋的你们程序员不会做0值特殊处理是吗？录好的训练视频经常莫名其妙丢失。经常性录完视频卡死闪退。我用gpt-3.5写出来的code都比你这强

**Developer response:** Hey, thanks for the feedback. Version 6.4 had some known issues that have since been resolved in the most recent updates since then with crash fixes, performance improvements, and better handling of edge cases like empty load-velocity profiles.

If you update to the latest version, you should see a much more stable experience. If you're still running into issues after updating, submit a bug report from the set review screen and we'll look into it. Thanks for the feedback!

### 5/5 — J.Seelig

*2026-01-12, version 6.4.3*

Exactly the same functions as an expensive velocity tracker! Very professional

### 1/5 — 免费版本现在连视频都导不出来了

*2025-12-31*

个人需求比较简单，就是看看力线轨迹，以前免费版本还可以导出，现在不能导出视频了。就算想出钱支持下，还是年费制，一年300多，不合理

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Video export is available on the free plan — if it's not working for you, please get in touch and we'll help sort it out (has always been available for basic members).

On the Pro subscriptions, we get it's not for everyone. We're a small indie team that runs no ads and doesn't sell user data. We rely on subscriptions are how we keep our business running so we can invest in making our app better.

### 1/5 — Tolle Aufmachung, aber leider nicht nutzbar

*2025-12-27, version 6.4.1*

Benötigt bei 4K Aufnahmen recht lange für die Analyse nur um dann letztlich doch abzustürzen
