What's New in PlatePal
2.3.2
September 14, 2026
PlatePal 2.3.2 • Backups now include your gyms. A PlatePal backup holds your whole setup: every gym profile with its bars, collar weight, and plate inventory, alongside your Logbook and custom lifts. Restore it on a new phone and pick up where you left off. • Back Up and Restore have a new home in Settings, under Backup & Data, along with a note of when you last backed up and how many sessions are new since. Save your backup somewhere off your phone, like iCloud Drive. On a fresh phone, Restore is also offered from the Import sheet and the empty Logbook. • Import opens on a list of apps, Hevy, Strong, and SugarWOD, one tap each, instead of a dropdown with one pre-selected. • Export Spreadsheet, in the Logbook's Data menu, now goes straight to the share sheet. • Gym profiles are now stored more reliably, and a rare problem that could reset your gyms at launch is fixed.
