You can now reorder your exercises. Hold any card to open the manage view, tap Reorder, and drag them into the order you want. Hidden exercises move to the bottom. Custom exercises now show their name on the card, so they're easier to tell apart. Also fixed a bug where the countdown voice could start late on your first workout after opening the app, along with some smaller stability fixes.

Bug fixes and general optimizations.

Hold Strong 3.0 is here. You asked for it — now you can share your challenge progress. Tap the share button on any active challenge to preview a beautifully designed image card showing your stats, streak, and 30-day journey. Save it to your Photos and post it wherever you want. Each day of the challenge has its own unique motivational message that gets more intense as you approach day 30. Browse between completed days with arrow navigation to find the perfect card to share. Your actual achieved time is front and center — not just the target. If you complete all 30 days, you get the full gold "Challenge Conquered" card. If life gets in the way, your card still celebrates what you accomplished — because getting stronger than day one is the whole point. We've added Exercise Posters under Settings > Information. Swipe through high-resolution form references for Dead Hang, Plank, Superman Hold, and Wall Sit — pinch to zoom in for the details that matter, double-tap to snap between fit and zoomed. Onboarding has been refreshed with new artwork across all five screens. Voice control is now more reliable. Commands no longer fire twice, recognition restarts cleanly between commands, and audio no longer glitches when switching between voice input and workout sounds.

Fixed a crash that could occur on first launch or when opening the welcome guide. Improved stability for the reminder and premium screens. Redesigned onboarding with new visual screens. Challenge share cards now display the motivational quote in full without truncation.

Siri Shortcuts are here — add Hold Strong to the Shortcuts app and say "Hey Siri, start my plank" to jump straight into your exercise. No unlocking, no tapping. Go further with NFC automation: write a shortcut to an NFC tag, stick it on your workout mat or pull-up bar, and tap to start your session instantly. Set time-of-day automations so Hold Strong opens exactly when you train. Full setup guide in Tips & Tricks → Automation & Shortcuts. The timer has been redesigned for clarity, with a cleaner progress ring and sharper visual feedback so you can stay focused on holding strong. Finally, if you're enjoying the app, you'll see a gentle nudge after your 5th session inviting you to leave a review. It auto-dismisses and never pesters — one soft ask, then Apple's standard sheet on session 7, and that's it.
