Rebuilt for iOS 18 compatibility Additional rowing machine support Updated login

IPAD HEALTH SUPPORT We've added support for Apple Health on iPads (it's been there for a long time on iPhones). On an iPad you will now see the option to connect to Apple Health on the menu > MY ASENSEI screen. You will need to have a recent build of iPadOS that supports the Apple Health app. KAIZEN - CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT Minor changes to the appearance of the JOURNAL screen.

We say sayonara, or farewell, to the Hey asensei [+] button in this update. Some of you loved it, some of you hated it, and some of you never even figured out it was there! You can now find the main menu for asensei in the top right of the Up Next screen - we think this is more intuitive and works better in both portrait and landscape mode. If you are looking for your Workout History that's now located under the menu item JOURNAL. We chose the name Journal because we want to bring you much more here in future - more post-workout stats and insights - watch this space! For now you'll find the usual list of workouts you have performed and can still tap into them to see more performance insights. Your programs and workouts can be found via the PROGRAMS menu item and settings are in the MY ASENSEI area. SUPPORT is located at the foot of the new menu. We're planning further enhancements to the asensei rowing user experience in the coming months - it's all aimed at making asensei more enjoyable to use. Tell us what you like, don't like and would like us to improve via support@asensei.com! KAIZEN - CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT A bug that meant feed.fm music (our default option) would not play correctly on iOS17 has been addressed. UP NEXT SCREEN REFRESH Up Next screen menu changes: * The menu button (three horizontal lines) in the top right replaces the Hey asensei [+] button in the bottom left. * The JOURNAL menu item replaces the Workout History button (more insights will be added to this section over time). Up Next screen visual refresh: * Exercise name, coach name and program name now in cyan. OTHER CHANGES Tips and conversations updated to reflect the new menu structure. Lots of helpdesk articles updated, but if you spot any we've missed let us know via support@asensei.com

Minor release to fix an issue whereby calories were always being shown as zero in workout summaries and in Apple Health.

KAIZEN - CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT Contains a fix for a bug which meant that the feed.fm music was not appearing in Control Center the first time a workout was run, meaning songs could not be skipped/paused etc. Behind the scenes changes to try and help track down very rare stability issues.

SET BETTER GOALS, GET BETTER OUTCOMES Changes to improve goal setting consistency and eliminate some (rare) errors.  Ensure that asensei sets you even better targets. STAY UP TO DATE This release includes changes for better iOS16 compatibility.

FIND A WORKOUT We've added a workout search feature to the asensei app.  Search by duration, coach, or using a key word (want a pyramid workout or ladder workout? no problem).  You can also sort the workouts you find by duration.  Choose Workouts from the Hey asensei [+] menu, then hit the search icon in the top left. IF YOU GOTTA GO... We'll be sad to see you go, but we now support account deletion requests from within the asensei app (on the My asensei page).

BETTER WORKOUT SUMMARIES The workout summaries now include the same 'sharing' cards as you see immediately after a workout. These allow you to see the workout stats at a glance, and you can share them from here at your leisure too. The share cards that show the interval breakdown should now display the exact value of the interval (e.g. a 30s interval will show as 30s rather than 30.1s as it sometimes did previously). This will also apply to the data shared with the concept 2 Logbook. ENABLING (APP)AREL UPDATES The asensei app can now see and update the firmware on the latest versions of the asensei (app)arel.

MAKING SHARING BETTER New post-workout sharing cards added: 1. interval breakdown - only appears when the workout has more than one interval. 2. a card including the workout description has been added - also shows the active rowing stats. KAIZEN - CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT Under the hood changes to allow additional data to be captured and displayed in the workout summaries.  Athletes will notice no difference at this time.

KAIZEN - CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT Fixes a logging issue that affects some FTMS rowing machines.

KAIZEN - CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT This update fixes an issue seen from 1.17.0 onwards where strokes were not counted correctly in the post-workout sharing cards and in the C2 logbook.

KAIZEN - CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT This update fixes an issue seen in release 1.17.1 where for iOS 15 users the on-screen display would not change to red correctly when you were off target with your SPM or split time.

KAIZEN - CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT Minor update; contains an under the hood improvement for the capturing of force curve data.

SHARE MORE The post-workout sharing screen data is now more consistent with the entries in the Concept 2 Logbook. The first workout stats card now displays only the 'active rowing' part of the workout and doesn't include rests, warmups or cooldowns. This means it reflects the 'performance' part of your workout rather than the overall session. This is consistent with the Concept 2 workout summary. Details below: * TIME - duration of your rowing during the active rowing part of a workout * AVE SPLIT TIME - your average split time during the active rowing part of a workout * DISTANCE (M) - distance rowed during the active rowing part of a workout * CALORIES - calories burned during the active rowing part of your workout. Overall session details are still captured and broken out on a second stats card. * OVERALL TIME is the total duration rowed in the workout, including active rowing and rowing during rest periods, warmups and cooldowns. * OVERALL DISTANCE is the total distance rowed in the workout, including active rowing and rowing during rest periods, warmups and cooldowns. * REST TIME - is the time rowed during your workout, but excluding the active rowing - so this is your time spent in warmups, cooldowns and rowing in rest periods. * REST DISTANCE - is the distance rowed during your workout, but excluding the active rowing - so this is your time spent in warmups, cooldowns and rowing in rest periods. A third stats card shows some additional stats for your session. These are for the active rowing part of the workout only, not for the rests, warmups or cooldowns. * AVERAGE STROKE RATE * STROKE COUNT * CALORIES PER HOUR * AVERAGE WATTS A 4th stats card is similar to the first stats card, showing details of the active rowing, but displays drag factor instead of calories. Note that you may still see some discrepancies between the data shown on these cards and the PM5 since asensei does not reset the PM5 at the start or the end of a workout session. asensei does not capture any meters/time rowed outside a workout, even if the app is open.

WORKOUT ON MORE DEVICES, WITH MORE CONTROL * You can now workout with the popular WaterRower and FluidRower rowing machines, as well as Concept 2 rowergs. WaterRowers require an S4 Monitor and a Bluetooth ComModule, FluidRowers need a Bluetooth console and Concept 2 machines need a PM5 monitor. * Manually reset your goals. If your circumstances change, if you've been out injured or off the erg for a while, or you just want to start afresh, you can ask asensei to start learning from scratch. Your workout history remains safely intact so you will always have a record of your performances. * Take your goal setting data with you across multiple iOS devices - when you login to a new device your goals now come with you. Note: workout data that can be retrieved is limited to those saved with the new version of the app so results may vary across devices at first. EASIER TO FIND YOUR WORKOUTS * The Up Next screen now displays the program that your workout is from. * Programs are listed in a consistent order to make it easier to find your workouts. * Free trial programs are no longer shown in the program list when you are a member. KAIZEN, CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT * Fixed a bug that could allow accidental re-connection to other rowing machines in the vicinity * The asensei challenge now works correctly with WaterRower and FluidRower machines

IMPROVING ACCURACY We've improved support for our connected (APP)AREL - guides the user to achieve better calibration. KAIZEN - CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT Under the hood improvements and bug fixes.

MAKING IT EASIER TO LOGIN For athletes using Facebook to login the asensei app now supports use of the Facebook app to sign you in. This means athletes using facebook to login will be redirected to the facebook app at the time of login, rather than to a web browser pop-up.

KAIZEN - CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT This minor release is designed to improve your workout stability. Featuring a more robust recovery from Bluetooth disconnection events and better error handling for skipping of segments during a workout.

(RE)CONNECT We've added some code to make Bluetooth reconnection more robust. Disconnects happen, mostly out of the app control, this feature should ensure that reconnection is more reliable so that you can continue your workout and have asensei track it fully. SKIP A SESSION If you are following a program and asensei keeps recommending you a workout you really don't want to do you can now choose to skip it and not be asked to return to it. When asensei asks if you are Ready to practice, choose Maybe later, then No, Skip workout in the Up Next conversation to skip a session. WORKOUT PLANNERS If you wish to find out more about the workouts in a program you can as we are adding links to the program planners from within the app. To view a planner hit Hey asensei [+] button, then choose Workouts and tap on the program you wish to view. The link to the planner will be in the top right. Not all programs have planners available yet, but we'll be rolling these out over time. KAIZEN - CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT We've addressed some rare issues that can lead to crashes when skipping segments in workouts.

KAIZEN - Small changes in the spirit of continuous improvement Urgent bugfix to deal with a bluetooth-related problem that can cause workouts to be tracked incorrectly.

Small improvements in this release: KAIZEN Concept 2 Logbook integration improvements which should prevent the appearance of negative rest distances and times in the logbook. These issues can occur when the PM5 is reset during a workout, including when the user programs it manually (which we don't recommend). Bluetooth timeout at the time of disconnect/reconnect increased to try and make this more robust and better logging added to debug. (APP)AREL Under the hood changes for Personal Coaching + (app)arel users to improve movement recognition.
