A faster start Getting set up is quicker and clearer. Answer a few short questions and see a real training week built around your goal, your schedule, and the equipment you actually have. Training that fits your gear Tell us what you own and your workouts will use it, so you stop getting moves that call for machines you do not have. Better workouts Total body sessions now work more of your body in every movement. Warm ups and cool downs are more reliable, better matched to the session ahead, and more varied over time. Exercise selection is cleaner across the board, so the moves you get are the moves you expect. Audio coaching you can rely on Your cues arrive when they should, including the halfway call. Your music stays at full volume between cues and comes back properly once a cue ends. Apple Watch A new Recovery Compass complication puts your readiness on your watch face. Recovery detail is easier to read at a glance and updates as soon as new sleep and heart rate data arrives. The watch app is also steadier in the background. Saved workouts Your saved workouts are now one tap from the main screen, with clearer names and simple options to edit, duplicate, or delete. Smoother account handling Signing in, restoring purchases, and managing your subscription are all more reliable, with clearer messages when something needs your attention.

Crucible 1.5 This one's all about a smoother session — from the moment you open the app to the last rep. • Recovery Compass on Apple Watch — A new at-a-glance readiness score, right on your wrist (and as a watch complication). It blends your sleep, resting heart rate, and HRV so you know whether today's a day to push or pull back — before you even pick up a weight. • A friendlier welcome — Connecting Apple Health is now an optional, clearly explained step right after you sign in, instead of a surprise pop-up. You'll know exactly what each permission unlocks, and you can connect (or change it) later. • Rock-solid audio coaching — We fixed the cases where a spoken cue like "Halfway" could occasionally drop to silence mid-workout. Your callouts now play reliably, every set. • Exercises that match your gear — We tidied up the exercise library so movements that need equipment you didn't select — weight plates, sticks/dowels, and other improvised gear — no longer slip into your workouts. What you see is what you can actually do. • Smarter variety — The planner does a better job keeping things fresh across sessions and targeting specific muscles (including the neck), so repeats feel intentional, not random. • Faster setup, more reliable sync — Big speedups to first-launch setup, sturdier restore of your data and gym locations, and a smoother Apple Watch connection. • Polish everywhere — Layout fixes for smaller iPhones and larger text sizes, plus general stability improvements. Thanks for training with us. Keep the feedback coming — a lot of this came straight from you.

Version 1.5 focuses on recovery, reliability, and a smoother first run. NEW: RECOVERY COMPASS ON APPLE WATCH A daily recovery score computed entirely on your Apple Watch from the health data it already records — heart rate variability, resting heart rate, and last night's sleep. Add the Recovery Compass complication to your watch face for an at-a-glance read on whether to push hard or take it easy, then tap in for the full breakdown. Sleep tracking is more accurate too, fixing rare cases of wildly inflated sleep totals. SMARTER EQUIPMENT MATCHING Workouts built for your gym or bodyweight setup no longer slip in improvised "implements" like sticks, dowels, or PVC pipes. You'll only see moves you can actually do with the equipment you have. RELIABLE SIGN-IN & RESTORE We fixed several issues that could leave returning users stuck on the login screen, waiting on a slow restore, or asked to "set up your gym" even though their data was already in the cloud. Signing in on a fresh install is now fast and dependable, and your locations and settings sync immediately. POLISH & FIXES • Fixed an occasional silent "halfway" voice cue during timed work • Layout fixes for smaller screens and larger text on the login, history, and workout screens • Stability and behind-the-scenes improvements Thanks for training with Crucible.
