DragonPace home screen with Start training, Target training and Video recording

Preview of version 1.0.4

This update focuses on more reliable training records and file handling: improved GPS updates, recording retries after a start timeout, Photos save confirmation and ZIP backup imports. Clearer English and Traditional Chinese messages help you understand what happened and what to do next.

Better GPS update handling

Old or duplicate location updates are rejected to preserve the order of training data.

Clearer Photos saves

Improved recovery and retries, with guidance when a previous save cannot be confirmed.

Stronger backup checks

Improved training-data ZIP size, structure and cancellation checks, with clearer error messages.

Features

Keep the details of your training together.

Start from one home screen. Review afterwards in Records. Plan the boat in Teams. Four colour themes, in English or Traditional Chinese.

Live training metrics

  • GPS distance, speed, route and splits.
  • Cadence from iPhone motion sensors.
  • GPS warm-up before the start, and optional lock-screen recording.
  • Weak GPS is flagged instead of counted.

Target training

  • Set one finish condition: a distance or a stroke count.
  • One progress card shows value, target, remaining and percentage.
  • Distance targets check GPS quality at the finish line.

Training video

  • Record with the rear camera and audio in Front Video mode.
  • Zoom before or during recording.
  • The original is always kept. Choose which metrics to show on an exported video and preview a clip first.

Records and review

  • History with search, video filter, charts, route map and splits.
  • Rename, add notes, export CSV or training-data ZIP backups. ZIP backups exclude videos; share or save videos separately.
  • Select several records to export, or delete them after a confirmation.

Crews and lineups

  • Rosters with roles and optional weights.
  • Seat-by-seat boat lineups with left/right balance.
  • Search athletes and lineups; CSV backup and import.

Local-first and free

  • No login, no cloud sync, no analytics or ad SDKs.
  • Nothing is uploaded automatically. You choose what to export or share.
  • Every feature is free: no in-app purchases or subscriptions.

Screens

A look inside the app.

App Store screenshots of the current app. Session values come from a real saved record; names, weights and other records are demo data.

Optional AI Tracking Reference

Off by default, with Apple Vision processing on your iPhone. It can follow up to eight clearly visible people, showing separate upper-body movement estimates that are never added together. Lost tracking stays unknown.

Results may miss or misidentify movements. They are not official stroke counts and never replace your GPS or Motion record. Availability and results depend on the device, system and recording conditions. Saved originals can be analysed with separate consent, then exported as another video with selected references.

You decide how to share your data.

Training data is stored on your iPhone by default. The app does not automatically send it to the developer. When you export, share or save to Photos, the destination you choose handles the data under its own settings and policies. Information you email to support is received by the support recipient.

Accuracy note

GPS, speed, distance, cadence and stroke estimates depend on phone placement, signal, water and boat conditions. DragonPace is a training tool, not for navigation, safety, medical use or official race results.
