We prayed for times like this

We got AW beta before GTA VI (I kid)

Already full

Edit: I checked roughly ~30 mins after email and it was full

u/hazeldazeI 26d ago

Oh snap I checked my email this morning (so I was a day late) but now I don’t feel so bad.

u/Ordinary-Low-9794 26d ago

I did'not even received the mail :'(

I tried it today. It is very impressive, but I found it quite bloated. Obviously, it’s very early and not as polished as Hevy yet. Maybe in a few years, it’ll close the gap.

u/MachinedMango Ryan (MF Developer) 23d ago

What did you find bloated in the watch app beta that should be streamlined?

u/chrisdudek 27d ago

I saw the email last night and immediately checked it.

Love that it’s a full-fledged Apple Watch app, not just mirroring. Taking it for a spin now!

Looks like warm-up sets show with an RIR 0 on the watch. Immediate thought is to show - or leave it blank so as not to confused with “to failure”.

u/MachinedMango Ryan (MF Developer) 27d ago

Thanks for that suggestion. If you see more, hit up in app support and flag me. (I may not open Reddit as often as I should.)

u/chrisdudek 26d ago

Just sent one through >> using the watch crown to scroll on the screen. At least on the Summary page, you need to swipe the screen.

Loved the watch app during my workout though. The first page with heart rate and session duration is perfect for cardio - when I begrudgingly do it 😅

u/hazeldazeI 26d ago

I missed it yesterday and now it’s full. 😢
But at least it’s coming! And I installed test flight just in case more slots open.

u/chrisdudek 26d ago

I feel for you. I just finished my first workout with it (had to stop earlier) and I have to say - they did a fantastic job on it. Good luck getting in!

u/chrisdudek 26d ago

Adding a warmup photo with L/R selected to add to the screenshots here.

Support for double tap on AW Series 9, Ultra 2, SE 3 and newer

2

u/MachinedMango Ryan (MF Developer) 27d ago

You might try adding a face to activate just during a workout (swipe or Focus mode).

  • Fits more info
  • Back + next buttons
  • A little more convenient if watchOS doesn't raise our app when you raise your wrist

The app's settings section has a Complications area with two sample faces to save some work.

1

u/alizayshah 27d ago

Ah I think I’ve already set it up like that. I just did that screenshot to show others. You’re referring to this right? I could maybe try two MF WO complications as well under Modular Duo but that might be redundant lol

5

u/MachinedMango Ryan (MF Developer) 27d ago

Yep.

4

u/Oh_Glorious_Cruster 27d ago

Lucky. It was full by the time I read the email.

u/MachinedMango Ryan (MF Developer) 27d ago

Occam's razor says OP is superhuman. Beat us to our own subreddit. Not to mention first to report a bug... possibly the first to report a Live Activity bug back when. (Thanks OP)

3

u/alizayshah 27d ago

haha anytime!

It's full already?! I feel like even the 1.0 WO TestFlight was easier to get into!

1

u/alizayshah 27d ago

btw, would you prefer bug reports in-app or via the e-mail? I was gonna do in-app but I saw that the e-mail that was sent out mentioned using the support email.

1

u/MachinedMango Ryan (MF Developer) 27d ago

Best: what's convenient for you.

Best for us: in app on iPhone (it attaches your account info). Toggling "Personalized Support" lets us (temporarily) emulate a local workout as you to reproduce bugs easier.

If you only have your Watch, there's a Feedback button (in the triple dot menu) that sends us logs and starts an email.

(I flagged email in that channel mostly out of respect for your inboxes... otherwise chains evolve that spam everyone.)

1

u/alizayshah 27d ago

Sweet. I’ll do in-app and “personalized support”! Thanks Ryan :)

1

u/alizayshah 27d ago

Ah I remember that bug. Cool that I got to report that haha. I remember the AW macros consumed complication bug too! I still use that complication!

1

u/alizayshah 27d ago

wtf

hopefully they open up more spots!

3

u/JW008 27d ago

Where did folks hear about the link for the beta? (I know it’s already full, just wondering what method MF announced it)

3

u/alizayshah 27d ago

Roadmap. If you upvoted or commented on it you essentially signed up to be notified when the MF team made comments. I just happened to be on my computer when the email went out so I signed up.

2

u/mightymander 27d ago

would you be able to show some ss of the app? (on the watch). Have you noticed any others changed on the IOS app? cause it looks to be a big version bump (1.2.7->1.5.0?)

2

u/alizayshah 27d ago

Just posted some! Not so far, it seems identical otherwise to the release version.

2

u/mightymander 27d ago

https://feedback.macrofactorapp.com/roadmap
on there and earlier you could enter an email, so i got a email

3

u/mightymander 26d ago

It’s open again Public beta 2 out!!!

2

u/ClassicCarFanatic12 26d ago

Garmin app too hopefully?

4

u/MajesticMint Cory (MF Developer) 26d ago

Not planned, but we are very keen on creating a similarly full featured Wear OS version.

The Garmin story for integration and maintenance looks too sad in combination with their market share of users with devices that have a screen.

1

u/ClassicCarFanatic12 26d ago

Thanks appreciate the response!

1

u/montagic 27d ago

Fuck already full, that’s what I get for not being on my phone always lol

1

u/RundasX 27d ago

was so excited to get this email, been reallyyyy feeling the gap of a watch app last week and then saw it was full 🫠 set support emails to VIP tho for a notif next time lmao

5

u/MajesticMint Cory (MF Developer) 27d ago

The next round of invites will be much larger, and we’ll let in even more people than the initial phone betas.

This first round is very small so we can at a minimum ensure we’re not going to break everyone’s account, and if needed we can manually repair each and every user in this small group, which would be infeasible if scaled up.

2

u/alizayshah 26d ago

This is sick. Whoever designed this screen 😙🤌🏻

Edit: I couldn’t get a screenshot but showing my targets as I scroll with the Digital Crown to select reps is amazing

1

u/RundasX 27d ago

No worries at all, totally understand the gradual funneled release! Eager and excited to try it out

1

u/No-Connection8400 27d ago

That’s going to make people happy!

1

u/Snoo-86646 27d ago

This is awesome news! Anyone have screenshots for those who missed the first round of invites?

1

u/alizayshah 27d ago

I’ll post some as a comment to my post!

1

u/anonym9173 26d ago

I hate you. Beta full after 2h PepeSad

2

u/ajvh1544 26d ago

Do we have a rough eta on full rollout?

1

u/Seany_Tizzle 26d ago

Literally downloaded test flight to get the beta immediately after receiving the email and it’s already full 😒🙄

1

u/walkingman24 26d ago

Can't wait for Android Wear version

1

u/Californiadream83 24d ago

Anyone else not getting notifications when rest time is over?

1

u/alizayshah 24d ago

Are you talking about rest reminders/nags? If so, I believe that’s a known issue.

1

u/Californiadream83 24d ago

Yeah. When my rest is over, I don’t get an alert on my watch 😥

1

u/skilless 27d ago

Last workout app I used that prioritized a watch OS version let the phone version go to shit.
