1.0.9 Aug 31
Free Training: Zone8 now picks up the workouts you record everywhere else.
• Automatic workout detection — finish a session on your watch or in Apple Health and Zone8 notifies you. One tap files it in your history, with no manual entry.
• Nothing gets lost. A detected workout is saved immediately, before you name it or list a single exercise. Classify it whenever you like, or not at all.
• Free Training on Apple Watch — a plain open timer for the sessions that aren't a race or a WOD.
• Notifications now arrive reliably on iPhone.
• The share layout you preferred is back, across races, box workouts and classes.
• Better watch-file imports: cleaner laps, and more dependable heart rate and calories from .fit files.
• Reminders for the events you've signed up for.
Plus fixes to history, syncing and the Apple Watch companion.
1.0.7 Aug 15
NEW — FREE TRAINING
Any session that isn't a race or a WOD now has a home. Finish a
workout in Apple Fitness and Zone 8 saves it for you automatically,
heart rate and calories included. Name it and add your exercises
whenever you feel like it — or leave it exactly as it is.
• Record one straight from your Apple Watch with a simple timer
• Share it as a card, or post it to the feed
• Counts towards your weekly totals like everything else
IMPROVED
• Workouts you finish with your phone locked now reach you the
moment you unlock it
• Share cards are back to the layout you know, with your split
times leading each row
• Fewer repeated notifications
1.0.6 Aug 14
• Fixed: box and class workouts from your watch could be lost if the app was closed
• Fixed: heart rate and calories from watch races are now kept when you log back in
• New: get notified when someone you follow posts, and before your competitions
• Better watch imports — lap mistakes, multi-sport recordings and long runs are all handled correctly
• Sharing the wrong file now tells you what went wrong instead of freezing
1.0.5 Aug 11
WATCH
• Heart rate and calories are now shown throughout every workout — race, Box and Class — on both Apple Watch and
Wear OS, and on races started from your phone.
• Wear OS: races can now be paused and resumed, timed stages count down and advance themselves, vibration alerts
work, and the finish screen shows your splits, average/max heart rate and calories.
• Apple Watch: you can now end a workout from any Box screen — EMOM and Tabata previously had no exit.
• Class presets now appear on the watch.
• Finishing two workouts before opening your phone no longer loses one of them.
AUTOMATIC WORKOUT IMPORT
• Fixed background detection on Android, so workouts recorded in other apps are found without opening Zone 8.
• A workout recorded by several devices at once is now imported once, keeping the most detailed version.
• GPS routes are imported alongside the workout.
• Workouts you delete from Health Connect no longer keep appearing.
NOTIFICATIONS
• Get notified when someone you follow posts a workout.
• Race reminders a week before and the day before.
FIXES
• Abandoned races (DNF) no longer count as personal bests, and are clearly marked in your history.
• Android: shared race cards now include the image.
• Blocking now applies reliably, including offline.
• Report and block are now available on community workouts.
• Many screens that were still in English now appear in Portuguese and Spanish.
• Security and privacy improvements.
1.0.4 Aug 11
New: Stats Sticker sharing
- A new "Share Sticker" option alongside the existing Share Card / photo-overlay options, for both race results
and box workouts (available from the results screen right after finishing, and later from History)
- Pick from 3 sticker styles in a live preview picker before sharing:
- Full — headline + stats + the complete station/movement breakdown with times
- Compact — headline + top 2 stats only
- Minimal — just the huge number and title, built for legibility over any photo
- Native Instagram Stories integration — shares straight into Instagram's Stories camera when available, falling
back to the standard share sheet (Instagram/WhatsApp/Messages/Save Image) otherwise
- Transparent-background PNG so it drops cleanly onto any Story background
1.0.3 Jul 22
NEW: Import races from your Garmin, Suunto, Coros or Polar watch! Press LAP at each station, export the .FIT file and share it to Zone 8 — your
splits, heart rate and distance arrive ready to compete.
• Share cards now show the distances and reps for every station
• League invites and member counts improved
• Deleting a race from your history is now permanent
• Your custom workout presets are now always saved
• Many small fixes and polish throughout
