If in doubt, consult a doctor before starting your workout. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 2.0.2 — 2026-09-27 More reliable with your data If the app couldn't open its database at launch, it used to carry on regardless — with empty lists, and whatever you entered was lost. Now it retries, and if it still can't, it tells you clearly and offers "Try again". Your entries stay on your device. Fixed The app could freeze right after the first setup questions — now questions, privacy notice and tour follow one after another. Exercise search stays fully usable while the keyboard is open. An exercise you create mid-workout as one-side-at-a-time now records both sides separately straight away, in quick workouts too. A date of birth the app can't read reliably is now rejected instead of producing a wrong age. Easier to read The light themes were glaring, and some labels were hard to make out. Text now has far more contrast in every colour palette and meets the strictest accessibility level. When you press and hold a button, the whole screen now shows what is about to happen — with a countdown before anything is deleted or finished. ### 2.0.1 — 2026-09-10 Language, units and date — three separate questions Until now the date format was tied to your language, and weights came in kilograms only. Now you decide three times over: work in English and still weigh in kilograms, or the other way round. All three live in the options and are asked once, together, when you first start the app, instead of in three stacked dialogs. Your data stays exactly as it is: everything is stored metric. We show 173 cm as 5'8", and switching back shows 173 cm again. The dialogs iOS uses to ask for the camera and your photos now speak your device's language too. New Exercises you work one side at a time — single-arm rows, lunges — can now be marked as such. The log then records both sides separately, and the app does the maths properly: volume counts both sides, and a record counts for whichever side did less. A finished session also lists every set in its summary. Fixed Ticking off a planned meal now stamps the time you actually ate it — for older plans we ask instead of guessing. The selected day on the nutrition screen stays put when you log or scan something; before, the view jumped back to today. Food amounts are shown in grams and millilitres again, matching the "per 100 g" line above them — training weights and body measurements still follow your setting, now including the places that used to say "kg" regardless. Rename a workout and it is called by its new name everywhere: on the home screen, in the planner and in the widget. In the diary, deleting a workout now removes exactly the run you tapped, not the most recent one; in the planner the tick disappears together with a deleted run, and a completed entry takes you to the result instead of the template. We also went through the app's wording: quotation marks, missing commas, an English word left on the dashboard, and an exercise in the catalogue that carried the wrong name. Exercises now carry their proper names everywhere. The dashboard has gained the tab bar: one tap takes you to any section. ### 2.0.0 — 2026-08-26 The home screen widget Sparta Island now has a widget — not a display case but a shortcut. You see your next planned workout with your streak and the day's calories and macros as four rings, and one tap takes you exactly where you would otherwise need an app launch, a tab and a sub-page: start a workout, scan food, log food and, in the large layout, log weight and measurements. Two sizes: medium for the daily grab, large for all five destinations. The widget claims nothing it does not know. With no plan it says "Start workout"; with no daily target the ring stays empty. A line reading "As of 14:20" tells you how old the numbers are. Every figure is calculated by the app itself — no data leaves your device. The app has been reorganised The tab bar now carries strength training right next to your home screen: Home, Training, Plus, Plan, Nutrition. Your history waits as a tile on the home screen. Behind it sits one simple rule — a tab carries the bar, every other screen carries a way back. Privacy and cloud account have moved to where the rest of the settings live. The planner plans with you You can now swipe through weeks and months instead of using only the arrows. The scheduling dialog filters your workouts as you type, creates a new one if you want, and tells you when a workout is already scheduled — including its rhythm and next date. You pick the start date yourself instead of being tied to the day you tapped. Six screens explain themselves Nutrition, strength training, the scanner, food detail, the exercise picker and exercise detail show you on your first visit what you cannot see: swiping, holding, long-pressing. Your dashboard answers the same question everywhere What has happened so far in the selected week, month or year? Every card follows the switch instead of counting days that have not happened yet. The new "Progress" card puts weight, waist and strength gain side by side — each line shows its change since the start of the period, so three different units can still be compared. The "Your rhythm" block shows how long before and after training you ate. Instead of your heaviest records you now see your strength gain as a percentage. The daily timeline works in grams One bar per meal for carbs, protein and fat, with the axis reaching your daily target instead of your largest meal. Full-screen, a second view shows how the day builds towards that target. A day's targets are built from the weight and factors that applied on that day — raising your protein target today does not retroactively turn last month into a month of misses. One streak, the same everywhere It counts any activity in the app: a logged meal or a diary entry makes the day active just like a workout. Before, the home screen and the dashboard showed different numbers. Also fixed The home screen now greets you by your first name and is up to date the moment you change it. In strength training, the estimate in the set legend names the reps you could do rather than the ones you did, and turns green only when it actually beats your history. After editing a workout, back takes you to the list again. Entries added on a past day used to land on today, and a ticked-off meal took the time of the tap instead of the time you planned — to correct a time, swipe the entry left. The dashboard still showed the old state when you came back, and in the daily timeline one macro line could hide another. And the back arrow now works even when a screen was opened from outside the app. ### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-09 our dashboard now answers the same question everywhere: what has happened so far in the selected week, month or year. Every card follows the switch instead of counting days that have not happened yet. The new "Progress" card puts weight, waist and strength gain side by side — each line shows its change since the start of the period, so three different units can still be compared. The new "Your rhythm" block shows how long before and after training you ate and how far apart your meals are. Instead of your heaviest records you now see your strength gain as a percentage. The daily timeline works in grams instead of percent: one bar per meal for carbs, protein and fat, with the axis reaching your daily target. Full-screen, a second view shows how the day builds towards that target. A day's targets are built from the weight and factors that applied on that day — raising your protein target today does not retroactively turn last month into a month of misses. There is now a single streak, the same one everywhere, and it counts any activity in the app — a logged meal or a diary entry makes the day active just like a workout. Also fixed: entries added on a past day used to land on today, a ticked-off meal took the time of the tap instead of the time you ate, and entries without an amount could be saved. To correct a time, swipe the entry left and type a new one via the clock icon; 1200 gives you 12:00. ### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-05 New: the daily timeline — a chart showing when and how much you ate, with your workout window laid over it, so you can see at a glance what came before and after training. Every chart now opens full-screen in landscape and zooms with two fingers. The four macro charts are merged into one with a freely scrollable time range. A finished workout now remembers its start time as well, and the muscle filter works in two levels — region first, then muscle. Important: backups work. Until now a backup held nothing but the exercise list, never actually wrote a file, and reported success anyway. It now saves all of your data including diary media into a single file you keep yourself — and the import brings it back without overwriting whatever you have logged since. If you have been using the app without a backup: create one after this update. Dates, times and all muscle names now consistently follow the language you picked inside the app, and several freezes in Quick Add are fixed. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
