Improvements to the widgets and overall app stability and performance, especially on first open.

ChatRPE 1.6 brings a big batch of changes to the app including customizable home screen widgets and adjustable haptic feedback. The widgets can be set to any of your created dashboards and can pick which of your charts to show. Ex. A graph of your logged weight over time that you can see without opening the app. Your macros for the day as a bar chart with a protein goal line. Other than that, I've been busy in terms of the overall look, feel, and daily usability of the app. You should notice a much snappier experience when opening menus, and a delightfully frictionless and fun experience when viewing your settings.

ChatRPE 1.5.6 brings performance, security, and design improvements to enable an even more frictionless experience. Please reach out to support@chatrpe.com if you have any questions, bug reports, or feature requests! I'm a real human and would love to hear any feedback you have about the app experience.

Version 1.5.5 brings a new app icon, changes to the way scroll behavior is handled to enable a smoother and more consistent experience, and changes to how the native app remembers your selected theme. If there's anything you would like to see in the app, please email support@chatrpe.com!

Version 1.5.4 is focused on app performance, including how fast the app feels to open initially and when returning.

ChatRPE 1.5.3 brings a small tweak to how Siri remembers your login session, which should get rid of the annoying "Please open the app and sign in first" popup when trying to use "Ask ChatRPE" without the app open. Other than that, there's been a ton going on in the background to improve the app experience, with over 100 commits shipped in the last week. Code JULY4 is still active until July 11th!

ChatRPE 1.5 Making steak juicier and bread butterier.

ChatRPE 1.4.4 This update includes various bug fixes, features, performance improvements and more! Live Sessions on your Lock Screen! ChatRPE now supports iOS Live Activities! When you start a live coaching session, you'll see it right on your lock screen with session info, so you can keep tabs on your session without unlocking your phone. Live sessions are anchored to the chat input in-app and stay in sync across the app, Siri, and the lock screen. Siri Integration, Round Two Building on last update's native audio integration, Siri got a major overhaul. Your coach now has access to its full set of tools when you go through Siri, so "Ask ChatRPE" can do everything the in-app chat can: logging, lookups, and questions about your data. Siri responses are now actually spoken aloud with cleaner dialogs, you can ask ChatRPE to analyze an image, and Siri conversations now show up in your chat history with readable titles instead of generic ones. Faster Food and Barcode Lookups Food lookups now search Open Food Facts and the USDA food database in parallel, which means faster results and better coverage. Barcode matching also got smarter, so scans that previously came up empty should now find their match. Better Charts Charts now support per-metric X and Y axes, time-of-day data, and proper time-scale X-axes for line and area charts. Sparse data spikes are no longer smoothed away, tooltips behave correctly in dual-axis mode, and we added workout consistency heat map style charts help you stay consistent. Security and Stability This update includes a significant round of security hardening behind the scenes — tighter database rules, stronger protections around subscriptions and checkout, and defenses against prompt injection — along with fixes for a variety of bugs: unreliable realtime chat updates, a flash when attaching images, a stuck image compression spinner, data export on iOS, sign-out navigation, and the app failing to load on a flaky connection at cold launch. I continue to be a solo dev, so as always, your feedback is incredibly helpful and important to me! Whether you have a suggestion for a new feature, a complaint about how the app works, a bug report, or just want to say hi, please feel free to shoot me an email at support@chatrpe.com. TLDR; Live coaching sessions now show on your lock screen, Siri can do everything the in-app coach can (and talks back!), food and barcode lookups are faster and more accurate, and charts got a lot smarter. Plus a big batch of security and stability fixes under the hood.

ChatRPE 1.4.3 This update includes various bug fixes, features, performance improvements and more! Newer, faster, better Pro model! Premium users now have access to a new Pro model using the newly released multimodal Gemini 3.5 Flash model from Google. This model should have much better response times as well as better intelligence across core agentic tasks vs the older, slower and more expensive Gemini 3.1 Pro model. Normal Flash messages for all users continue to use Gemini 3 Flash. New native audio Siri integration! Try asking Siri to "Ask ChatRPE" ... "Log my weight this morning before eating as 155.6". The native audio integration means ChatRPE should be able to better understand your meaning in ambiguous contexts where pure text might fail. Crashes and Soft Locks This update patches a variety of different crashes, bugs, and soft locks across the app. These changes build towards our ongoing goal to provide a more performant, stable and intuitive experience. Context and Prompting Tweaks On the backend we've been cooking up changes to the way ChatRPE understands your unique context. This should make your experience in new chats less repetitive and more personalized, as well as improving cost per message on our end. I continue to be a solo dev, so as always, your feedback is incredibly helpful and important to me! Whether you have a suggestion for a new feature, a complaint about how the app works, a bug report, or just want to say hi, please feel free to shoot me an email at support@chatrpe.com. TLDR; Your coach should understand you and your data more easily, and the app UI should get out of your way more, leading to an even more frictionless coaching and logging experience. Try out the new Pro model and the improved Siri integration!

ChatRPE 1.4.2 Minor bug fixes targeting instances where the app could crash or show a blank screen.

ChatRPE Version 1.4.1 Fixed an annoying issue where the app would sometimes redirect to safari when opened from fully closed.

ChatRPE IOS Version 1.4 Chat Experience Instant Attachment Previews: Attachments now appear in the chat the moment you hit send — no more waiting for uploads to finish before your message shows up. Smarter Chat Titles: Conversations get AI-generated titles that update as the conversation evolves, so your history is easy to scan at a glance. Long titles wrap fully in the sidebar instead of cutting off. Retry Failed Messages in One Tap: If a message fails to send, a Retry button restores everything you typed — text, images, audio, and video — automatically. No need to re-type or re-attach anything. Nutrition Lookup: Your coach can now look up food by barcode scan or by name directly in the chat. Try scanning a barcode! Dashboards & Visuals Faster, Smoother Dashboards: Dashboards now navigate without full-page reloads, and charts load significantly quicker. Chart colors also pick up your current theme's accent for a more cohesive look. Sign-In & Access Sign In From Anywhere: Fixed Google Sign-In failing when opening the app from Gmail, Instagram, or other apps that use an in-app browser. Content & Layout Refreshed About and Guides: Overhauled the About and Guides pages with new layouts, clearer content, and better examples to help you get the most out of the app. This is still a work in progress! Better Safe-Area Handling: Improved spacing throughout the app so content no longer gets clipped by notches or home indicators on any device. UI Polish: The error banner, terms modal, settings menu, and tab bar all got polished to match the rest of the app's look and feel. Under the Hood Various bug fixes, performance improvements, and security updates throughout the app.

ChatRPE IOS Version 1.3 Visuals & Themes More Themes, More Personality: Ocean, Sunset, and Forest are now live, along with continued refinements to the overall look and feel of the app. We’ve also polished the interface across chat, menus, and key screens to make everything feel cleaner and more intentional. Chat Experience Upgrades Smoother Conversations: We made a number of under-the-hood improvements to how responses are handled, especially during interruptions or when the app is closed mid-response. This should reduce weird edge cases and make conversations feel more reliable. Clearer Tool Transparency: We reworked the coach’s thought and tool display so supported responses now surface their reasoning and actions more clearly, with a cleaner presentation of what the app is doing behind the scenes. UI Polish: The composer, message bubbles, timestamps, labels, and model picker all received quality-of-life updates for a more refined chat experience. Voice, Images, & Reliability More Stable Voice and Media Workflows: We continued improving native voice note support and made image analysis more resilient, especially in iOS shortcut flows where large images could previously cause issues. Better Chart Reliability: Added stronger safeguards around data visualizations so temporary failures are less likely to result in broken or blank states. Billing, Privacy, & Trust Purchase Flow Improvements: We added protection against accidental duplicate subscriptions and improved subscription state handling so plan changes and existing paid access are recognized more reliably. Less Tracking, Better Privacy: Removed legacy Reddit tracking code that was no longer needed, reducing unnecessary background tracking behavior. Mobile Polish Better iPhone Layout Handling: Improved safe-area and WebView behavior in the mobile app for a cleaner edge-to-edge layout on modern devices. Grow with us! I’m still building ChatRPE as a 1-man team, and every bit of feedback helps shape where it goes next. If the app has helped you, I’d really appreciate an App Store review. I read them all, and I’m committed to building this with a user-experience-first mindset.

Light & Dark Modes Choose the theme that fits your vibe. Coming Soon: You'll see placeholders for our upcoming Ocean, Sunset, and Forest themes. (Naming subject to change.) We're currently fine-tuning these experiences, so they are disabled for now—stay tuned for the full rollout! Advanced Voice & Audio Native Audio Upload: You can now record and send voice notes directly to your coach. This was accomplished using the native multimodal capabilities of our Flash and Pro models, so we think you will be impressed by the experience! Your coach doesn't just get a transcript of the audio, it receives it as direct input so it can reason about background noises, your heavy breathing between sets, or the weights clanking. Try it out now on all plans! TTS responses coming soon as a toggleable option, for all paid plans. Revamped Siri & Shortcuts Integration "Hey Siri, Analyze with ChatRPE": Use your voice to analyze food, workouts, or progress photos instantly. App Intents: We've added deep integration with iOS Shortcuts, allowing you to trigger AI analysis without even opening the app. Crash Prevention: New smart image compression ensures that even the largest high-res photos process smoothly. Frictionless Onboarding Try Before You Sign In: In pursuit of a frictionless new user experience, new users can now experience the power of ChatRPE immediately without creating an account. In the same vein, the coach's system prompting has been fine tuned to give it a more pleasant and adaptable personality. You should notice your coach better adapting to you to meet you where you're at in terms of both personality and coaching. Visuals & Reliability Robust Charting: We've added error-handling boundaries to our data visualizer to prevent blank screens and errors that were sometimes occurring. Cleaned Up UI: Squashed several Safari-specific layout bugs and refined the landing page for a faster, snappier experience. Grow with us! I am a 1-man dev team, and every bit of feedback or support is helpful in delivering the best possible experience. If you have feature requests, bugs to report, or just want to say the app helped you be more consistent, please leave a review on the App Store! I read them all and I am committed to taking a user experience first development approach! If there's something you don't like about the app, let me know!

Improved Siri Integration (experimental): Ask Siri to log your reps or snap a pic of your meal with ChatRPE. Improved System Prompt: You should find your coach significantly friendlier and less uptight in this version of the app. Better App Store Images: Images showcase more of the UI and provide better copy explaining features and capabilities.
