Sectors (Pro) - Time yourself over the same stretch of water every session. Create sectors in BoatRun Analyser and they sync to the app. - As you row towards a sector start, a popup lets you arm it or skip it. - Once armed, the Workout tile shows the distance to the start line and your PB time. While you row it shows metres to go and how far ahead of or behind your PB you are. - A trill sounds when you cross the start line and again at the finish. Your time and a new PB are shown when you finish. Erg improvements - Distance and pace now match the PM5 display exactly. - Final distance and last lap now use the PM5's own finishing distance. - Average rate and lap rate no longer flicker between strokes. Bug fixes and stability improvements.

Video Sync: film yourself on the water and line your video up with your data. Before a session, tap Video Sync to show a time code on screen, hold it up to your camera for a few seconds, then row as normal. The BoatRun Analyser reads the code from your video and matches every frame to your stroke data. More accurate Stroke Character: now measures exactly where peak boat acceleration falls in the drive, with finer timing between sensor samples and smoothing over 5 strokes. Readings are steadier and use the full 0–100% range (under 40% front-loaded, 40–60% mid-drive, over 60% back-loaded). Easier setup: before calibration, the main controls (Workout, Heart Rate, Squad, Video Sync, Start, Lap) now appear as a large, easy-to-tap panel. Updated Stroke Character description in the metrics help.

Coach mode gets a big upgrade. • Coach video now records with the iPhone's own camera app — full hardware quality and stabilisation, then saved straight to your chosen video folder for the Analyser. • Live map follow: tap any boat (or your own dot) to keep the map centred on it. Drag the map to go back to free look. • New LAPS table in the rower detail view — the most recent completed laps with time, distance, pace, rate, DPS and heart rate. • 20+ new coach metrics: average pace, current lap and last lap (time, distance, pace, rate), check delta, workout state, plus full PM5 erg data — watts, average watts, peak and average force, drag factor, calories, cal/hr, stroke length, work per stroke, speed, recovery time, split pace and erg DPS. • Rebuilt metric pickers: the metrics you use sit at the top in display order with move-to-top, up, down and remove; everything else is a simple ADD list below. Metrics are tagged ERG or WATER and are automatically left off rowers they don't apply to. • Your chosen metric order is now kept when the app adds new metrics in an update. • More reliable stroke detection at very low rating.

Session cards for on-water rows • Every on-water session now has a shareable session card image, like the erg one — distance, time, pace, rate, DPS, catch and accel figures, average stroke curve, pace and rate charts, and a lap table. • The route on the card now sits on a real background map. • Save to Photos, or export the image straight to Strava. • Strava uploads carry a BoatRun summary: totals, splits, lap-by-lap times, pace, rate and HR. Lap types you can set yourself • EDIT LAP TYPES marks any lap as warmup, work, rest or cooldown, so an ordinary row reads like a workout: work pace on the summary, work-lap average lines on the charts, and WORK LAPS on the session card. • Lap types set on another device or in the Analyser now come back to the phone automatically. More accurate averages • Stroke rate, pace, DPS, catch and every other session and lap average now describe the rowing only — the stroke that spans a stop is no longer counted, so a paddle with stops in it no longer drags the numbers down. • Lap rate and DPS are calculated from the strokes in that lap rather than the value showing when LAP was pressed. • Existing sessions are recalculated when you open them; nothing needs re-recording. Erg fixes • Drag factor is now readable at arm's length on the monitor bar and is printed on the session card. • Drag factor, calories, average pace and distance are no longer saved as zero when the PM5 returns to its menu at the end of a piece.

Fixes and refinements: • Fixed a case where an active Pro or Coach subscription could still show the upgrade prompt. Purchases and restores now unlock the paid screens immediately. • Account & Plan panel now fits and scrolls on all screen sizes — the Close button is always reachable. • Heart rate straps no longer disconnect after a phone call or when the app is briefly interrupted. • Erg: work-interval average pace now matches the completed interval sent by the PM5. • Erg: the workout bar and workout tile now show the same work/rest countdown. • Squad settings: clearer "Connect Squad" section with a Show/Hide button for the squad password. • Camera and video capture: more reliable permission handling and clearer messages when the camera is blocked, busy, or unavailable.

NEW • Map tab for rowers and coxswains — see your own boat, the rest of your squad, and the coach's launch on a live street or satellite map (within 5km). Works without a squad too, showing just your boat. • Erg session card — every erg session now generates a monitor-style summary image you can save or share, plus an automatic split-by-split summary in the Strava activity description. • Optional "prompt to join squad" setting — the squad connect box can open automatically once your PM5 connects or your on-water calibration finishes, so you never forget to join before pushing off. • Video save location is now shown and changeable directly on the camera screen, and you're offered a folder the first time you record. IMPROVED • On-water workouts no longer sit through a pointless rest after the final piece. • Interval workout builder no longer adds a rest after the last interval. • Clearer workout start wording so it's obvious when the piece actually begins. FIXED • More accurate stroke rate on the water. False catches ("ghost" strokes) that arrived late in the stroke are now rejected, and a rejected stroke no longer blocks the real catch that follows — this removes the occasional halved rate followed by a jumped-up catch-up stroke. • Loading a workout after a session has already started now places the workout steps at the correct point on the session timeline. Rowing done before the workout was loaded is kept as a lead-in lap, so lap tables in the session detail and in exported data match what actually happened. • Sessions with duplicate copies in Google Drive no longer trigger a repeating "sessions updated from Drive" message every time the app is opened.

Coach squad monitoring - see what every boat is doing at a glance • Each boat’s tile, map dot and map label now share that boat’s own colour, so tiles and map always match. • Boats change colour by state: rowing, resting, waiting at the start, lap taken, stopped, or out of signal. • LAP ALL BOATS now shows what the squad is actually doing and how many boats - e.g. “LAP READY 4/6” - and warns you before sending if the boats aren’t all in the same state. • When a boat receives your lap, its tile flashes to confirm the command landed. The single-boat LAP button in the detail view behaves the same way. • Boats push their state to you immediately on start, lap, pause and finish instead of waiting for the next snapshot. • A boat that has pressed Start but hasn’t begun rowing is no longer shown as rowing. • More than one armed stroke template can now be overlaid on a rower’s curve, colour-matched to the template pills, and only once the template has actually been sent to the squad. • Fullscreen stroke curve now covers the tab bar properly. Starting a session • Sessions now begin reliably on a light warmup paddle. Previously a session could sit on READY if the strokes were too soft to detect or GPS speed was unavailable; it now also releases once the boat has simply moved 20 m from where you pressed Start. • Lap Avg Pace is smoothed and no longer flickers in the first minute of a lap. Demo mode • Coach demo now asks whether you want to watch four boats on the water or four ergs. • Drag the map to put the demo squad on your own stretch of water. • LAP ALL BOATS and template sending now work in the demo instead of doing nothing. • A STOP DEMO button is now on every screen, and ending a demo returns you to the role you were in before. Subscriptions • Access now refreshes when the app returns to the foreground, so a newly purchased or club-granted subscription appears without restarting. • Club and complimentary seats show their expiry date on the plan screen.
