Fixed an issue where Smack Talk could go quiet partway through a long workout — callouts now keep firing for the entire work phase, not just the first few minutes.

COUNT UP GETS CONTROL Running a Count Up timer? Now you can pause it, restart it back to zero, or finish early — right from the run screen, no confirmation dialogs slowing you down. FRESHER SMACK TALK 50 new heckle phrases added to the rotation, plus smarter callout logic so PAX get called out more evenly across a beatdown — no more one PAX getting roasted three times while another sits silent. SYNCED TIMERS STAY IN SYNC Fixed a drift issue where phones following a synced beatdown could slowly fall out of step during long, uninterrupted work stations. BUG FIXES - Status bar icons (clock, battery, signal) are now readable on every screen, including mid-workout phase changes. - Fixed a bug where skipping ahead to finish a workout early could leave stray sounds queued up after the fact.

"No Timer" is now "Count Up" — same mode, a name that says what it does. Start the clock, run your beatdown, stop when you're done. The big clock stays put. On narrower phones the timer could wrap to a second line or get clipped at the edges. It now scales to fit, so 12:45 reads as 12:45 no matter what you're holding. New smack talk in the rotation. One more line to keep the PAX honest.

NO TIMER NOW WORKS WITH YOUR PHONE LOCKED Run a No Timer beatdown, drop the phone in your pocket, and the Burpee Alarm and Smack Talk keep coming the whole way. Before, everything went quiet the moment the screen locked and only caught up when you opened the app back up. Cue timing now runs outside the browser layer, so a three-hour session sounds off exactly like a three-minute one. ALSO IN THIS ROUND - New "How's this work?" link right on the home screen, straight to the FAQ. Handy for a Q running their first beatdown with the timer. - Cleaner cold start. No white flash on launch, and the splash holds until the app is genuinely ready instead of blinking away at an empty screen. - The menu row for rating the app is now "Backblast the App," because that's what it is. - Fixed the account and data deletion request form for anyone who signed in with Apple's Hide My Email. You can now enter the email to match your account, and failed submissions tell you why instead of failing silently.

Rate the app straight from the menu — there's a new "Rate My App" row in the drawer if the timer's been good to you. Under the hood: a big cleanup pass. The app is smaller and leaner, with a pile of unused code from its early days stripped out. Nothing you use changed — it just carries less weight to the parking lot.
