Version 5.6.5









This update was 2 months in the making and we're super excited to share it with you today!
Cardio
16 cardio exercises, categorized as "Moving cardio" or "Machine cardio".
If you enter both your time and distance, the app will estimate your performance, by using power law equations specific to each cardio exercise.
Long-running cardio exercises behave quite differently from bodyweight, weightlifting or flexibility exercises, so many processes in the app had to be slightly adapted to integrate those smoothly, and we're very happy with the result: Calistree can now handle cardio exercises without impacting the other functions in any way.
The next step will be to add "Health imports", so that you can automatically import into Calistree cardio activities tracked with other apps or a smartwatch.
Background mode
It would be annoying to have to keep your screen on during the whole duration of a run, so we naturally had to develop the background capabilities of the app along with cardio.
Go to the Session settings to enable Background mode. This creates a persistent notification that indicates the next/current exercise and helps keep the app alive.
If you also enable "Auto-Play" (now very easy with the new triple button pause/play/auto), you'll get audio-guided through your whole workout while keeping your screen off!
And if you're going for a long activity (like a 2-hour bike ride), you can start the timer and close the app; when you reopen it 2 hours later, it will resume at the right time and be like it never closed.
Performance
We've made major performance improvements to make the app much faster: starting up, finishing or editing a session, opening a muscle/joint page, and many more actions are now more efficient.
Routines/Plan image summary
Share routines and plans (official or custom) in the form of nice summary images. A great way to show Calistree's routines to people outside the app.
Improvements à gogo
This update is packed with various tweaks and fixes that might often go unnoticed but will smooth out your experience. Whenever you see something that could be better, let us know on the public feedback board.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us to build the best fitness app possible, and enjoy your training!
