Ratings & Reviews
This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
**Never Lose a Session Again**
We've completely redesigned how LapBuddy saves and restores your workouts! If iOS closes the app while you're swimming (phone call, low memory, checking messages), your session automatically restores exactly where you left off when you reopen the app. No buttons to press, no decisions to make - just pick up your phone and keep swimming.
The stopwatch appears immediately with your timer running or paused, all your completed laps preserved with exact times, and the time you spent away automatically added as rest time. Your swimming metrics stay accurate, and you maintain complete control.
**Track Your Visual Progress**
New body composition photo tracking lets you document your fitness journey with photos from multiple angles - front, side, back, and face. Each angle gets its own metric, making it easy to see your progress over time. Add multiple photos per day to track morning vs. evening changes or pre/post workout differences. Swipe through your photo carousel to see weeks and months of transformation.
**Clearer Multi-Athlete Experience**
All tabs now show which athlete you're viewing right in the filter button (like "John Smith"). No more guessing who you're looking at! Switch between athletes and watch Analytics charts, Achievements, and Records update automatically. Perfect for households sharing a device or coaches tracking multiple swimmers.
**iCloud Sync Diagnostics**
Having sync issues? The new iCloud Sync Status screen shows you exactly what's happening with your files. See upload/download progress, sync statistics, error details, and troubleshooting guidance - all in one place. We've added comprehensive monitoring so you can diagnose and fix sync problems yourself.
**Important Fixes**
• Fixed critical bug causing negative lap times (like "-75:21") after session recovery
• Plus button now correctly disabled during active sessions (prevents accidental resets)
• Screen sleep issue resolved - your screen stays on during swims like it should
• Records now update immediately after restoring backups
**What You'll Love**
• Zero-tap session recovery - automatic restoration with exact timing
• Smart time tracking - accurate elapsed time even if you're away from the app
• Photo carousels - swipeable galleries with date overlays
• Unified interface - consistent athlete selection across all tabs
• Real-time sync monitoring - see exactly what's syncing and when
• Recently Used metrics now exclude auto-created time trial records
This update makes LapBuddy more reliable, easier to understand, and better at protecting your swim data. Whether you're tracking personal progress or coaching athletes, everything works more smoothly and intuitively.
