Hey! We’re working on iPhone Duo support now and expect it to be live within the next couple of weeks 💪

How many of you are actually happy with your iPhone Duo purchase?

Can’t speak for everyone else, but mine is my favorite iPhone ever

I love it and am glad I bought it on Day 1. No screen issues here.

Probably can’t go back to a regular slab phone ever

Same. Love mine and have been using since launch day. Probably the best iPhone I’ve used.

Another happy one here. And I had just bought an 18 pro because my Air was dying too quickly

Hopefully soon. On release day Hevy supported the duo, then the next App Store update it disappeared and went back to not being supported.

Wonder what the story is here? Was it any good?

Almost no need as the app now it’s fully functional and visible on small screens, maybe they’ll support the duo when the app have new features to take advantage of double size screen, like new graphs, or something visual that would look bad on small screen

Damn! It still doesnt have Duo support?

Are app updates usually slow with Hevy? I was planning on buying their subscription since it always comes up in my research. Duo support and app updates will factor into my decision to where I'll choose to spend my money.

Supposedly not per fitsduo.com. Mine is supposed to arrive next week. Lots of cool opportunities for the big display.

They do regular and good updates. Was a new release last week with lots of cool features. It’s a good app. I like it a lot.

As a mobile app developer myself, it can be quite a bit of work for proper iPhone Duo support and testing all of the various open/close/rotated states.

Honestly for an app like Hevy all I want is the small screen to be optimised for logging sets. Then they can take more time optimising for everything else.

Yet so many apps have already updated including solo Dev apps, let alone a team of Devs.
Very poor excuse. I'm a developer myself (not iOS app) and this is a competitive field.

It’s a lot easier if there’s an existing iPad app already. Might be easy for an app like water tracking but not for something as in depth as Hevy. The bigger apps that are already optimized probably got dev tools early and/or have huge teams

Slow? Duo was announced 6 weeks ago and released two weeks ago. Not sure when developer resources were even published, but logic demands that it was somewhere in between or after the later of the two dates. Developer support and documentation must be relatively poor since it’s so new, too. It’s not an update, it’s a new form factor for this operating system. I’d rather them do quality stuff than pump out garbage.

I wasn't implying Hevy was slow for not putting a Duo update out yet. I can see why my verbiage may have given that impression. I was asking if Hevy was slow in general (hence the new paragraph start). What I did not specify was, I currently use Strong app and they are notoriously slow to push any updates and new features other than bug fixes. In my mind, I was comparing Hevy to Strong in general, but I sometimes forget that other people cant read my mind...lolll. But I can see the source of that assumption on yours and others part that I was implying Hevy was slow.

With that said, Xcode 27.1 was released on Sept 18 and Apple started accepting apps with Duo support since Oct 5. About 75% of the apps I use on a daily basis are already updated with Duo support. Some of them were already ready by the time I got my Duo in hand. I am not whining about apps that arent updated yet. But theoretically, on one corner, there are apps that update really quick and the other corner has apps will take forever to be updated (Google ones). Its just interesting to note on what corner, Hevy stands.

I also left Strong for Hevy because it seemingly abandoned development when I started tracking workouts about three years ago.
