Hi everyone,

My partner and I are both very thankful for all the community feedback we've had in the past few months here on Apple Vis about our indie fitness app Jumpy Cat.

App Store Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1519669458

We've been working on new features and improvements, so I wanted to share about what's new and hear your thoughts:

1. We've added a daily workout reminder, which makes it easier to schedule your workouts. Generally, sticking to a fitness routine is easier if you schedule it for the same time every day.
The reminder also comes with an adjustable 1, 2 or 3 hour snooze, so you've got some flexibility there.

NOTE: to use the reminder feature, you will be prompted to enable notifications. If you decline the first time, you will need to go to the Settings app and allow it from there. Apple does not allow us to prompt you again once you decline notifications.

2. We've made our server and streaming faster - you should be noticing 10 times faster workout creation, especially for longer workouts lasting 30 minutes up to an hour.

3. We've made the detailed audio guidance even better. You can find it under the third tab called "More". It's got complete audio description of each exercise before the exercise. You can use it to get used to how to do the exercises.

Would be super helpful to hear how you're liking the app, and what features you're finding useful.

Also, if you feel like it, please consider supporting our streaming costs by subscribing for Pro, it's 1.99 per month.

Thanks, and have a great week everyone!

It needs you to have some knowledge on exercising, as well as some good body consciousness for the exercises you don't know. It's nice for maintaining a more pleasant routine, as I can't afford a personal coach. I like the descriptions, which are concise enough for you not to get lost into the nuances of each exercise, wile giving you what you need to perform them.
One thing I'd like is the ability to change how each interval is announced. I can concentrate more when the beginning, end and the middle of an interval are announced by sound rather than by voice. I don't mind the voice, by the way. It's not a human coach, I don't expect a human voice guiding me.

I would love to try this app, but unfortunately it does not seem to be available in the Swedish and/or Dutch appstores, which are the ones I have access to.

Dear Santa, for christmas I would like...

Hi Shass!

The app should be available on both the App Stores in Holland and Sweden...
What device are you using?

If you share more details, I can contact the Apple Store Support about this to get it resolved!

I have been enjoying the detail descriptions although I cannot always follow them. It is very helpful to have them however. Is it possible to airplay the video on the TV? I have ever played other things from my iPhone but I could not make this one work.

Thanks for your feedback.
We're working on adding this functionality (casting to TV with Airplay), it's not available yet.
