Metric uses a unique computer vision system and rep-detection algorithm to track lifts in real-time on your device from the iPhone or iPad camera.
Device specifications
At the time of writing Metric VBT is only available on iOS. There is no Android version of the Metric VBT app.
Metric supports iOS 16 and newer and due to the limitations of older Apple camera systems, Metric works best on newer model iPhone or iPad models.
Below is a list of the recommended devices capable of providing accurate velocity data within the Metric VBT app. Devices older than those listed will likely experience lag and potentially inaccurate training data due to lower resolution cameras and less-powerful hardware.
iPhones compatible with Metric VBT:
✅ iPhone 11 and all models newer than this (2019 or newer)
✅ iPhone SE (gen 3)
iPads compatible with Metric VBT:
✅ iPad Pro - forth generation and newer (released 2020)
✅ iPad - 9th edition and later (released 2021)
✅ iPad Air - 2020 edition and later (released 2020)
✅ iPad Mini - 6th edition and later (released 2021)
DEvices not capable of running Metric VBT (due to camera or hardware limitations):
⛔️ iPhone XS, XR (these models can provide accurate data but expect delays after recording before data is provided)
⛔️ iPhone 8, 8 Plus, SE (gen 2) and older models (These models have lower quality cameras and limitations in their computer power for running Metric's advanced tracking algorithm)
⛔️ All iPad models older than those listed above
⛔️ All iPod Touch models
Metric VBT for Android
Metric is currently only available on iOS enabled devices. As a small development team we simply had to prioritise making a great app for one platform instead of a mediocre app for multiple platform, we hope to get Metric up and running on Android in the future.
