Before we get started, I just wanted to share that earlier this week CoachNow surpassed 10,000 5-star reviews in the App Store.

Across all of our reviews, we boast an average rating of 4.83 stars.

These two facts together mean that CoachNow is OFFICIALLY the highest-rated video analysis and coaching app out there.

So I just want to say THANK YOU for all your incredible support and feedback!

Now onto the main event..

For today’s post, I want to introduce a range of new features included in our upcoming iOS release.

Update 6.14 is one of the biggest launches we’ve had in 2024, and it’ll begin rolling out in the next few days. Let’s get a closer look at everything it unlocks:

Introducing Coach Profiles

Coach Profiles
We’re thrilled to unveil Coach Profiles, a powerful new feature that allows you to create a detailed profile with essential information for your athletes. Customize your profile with your branding, payment details, and booking links, all tailored for a more professional and streamlined interaction.

Important Note : Coach Profiles are private and visible only to members of the Spaces and Groups you’ve created or joined. This ensures that your information is accessible only to those who are part of your coaching community.

How it Helps You:

  • Professional Branding: Showcase your branding and provide easy access to payment and booking information in one place.
  • Streamlined Communication: Centralize essential details for your athletes, enhancing overall communication and efficiency.
  • Effortless Setup: It's super easy to add your information and set your profile live.

How to Use:

  • After installing the update, follow the prompts to set up your Coach Profile (you can also do this at a later date in your settings).
  • Input your branding, payment, and booking information as needed.
  • Now your athletes can access this information by clicking your name in their Space or Group.

Coming in August: Improved Athlete Experience

We’ve redesigned the athlete layout to provide a more streamlined and intuitive experience. The new layout makes it easier for athletes to navigate and access important information, including your Coach Profile.

How it Helps Athletes:

  • Enhanced Navigation: Athletes can now find key information more quickly and easily.
  • Improved Accessibility: Access your Coach Profile and other essential details with just a few taps.

Here’s some images that explain the major changes:

Back-To-Back Camera Capture

We’ve added a much-requested feature: Back-To-Back Camera Capture. This allows you to record multiple videos in succession without having to close the camera between shots.

Note: This feature is only available if you record directly from the library. Recording a video from within a post will remain unchanged.

How it Helps You:

  • Seamless Recording: Capture consecutive videos effortlessly, perfect for detailed analysis or uninterrupted training sessions. This is especially useful if you are wanting to collect many movements and analyze the best ones later.
  • Increased Efficiency: Save time and avoid interruptions in your recording process.

How to Use:

  • Start recording your first video from the library. Once you finish, simply continue recording for the next video without closing the camera.
  • From the library, choose the video(s) you want to post and post it to your desired Space or Group.

New Annotation Features

Our annotation tools just got even better! You can now add arrowheads to freehand lines, and adjust the width of the drawing tools for more precise annotations.

How it Helps You:

  • Enhanced Precision: Make detailed annotations with customizable drawing tools.
  • Clearer Feedback: Provide more accurate and visually clear feedback to your athletes.

How to Use:

  • Open your video or image, select the annotation tool, and use the freehand drawing options to add lines and arrows as needed.
  • Adjust the width of the drawing tools in your settings.

Faster Voice Over Processing

We’ve optimized Voice Over processing to improve upload and download speeds. You can now adjust the audio quality and size of your Voice Overs for quicker processing times.

How it Helps You:

  • Speedier Uploads and Downloads: Save time with faster processing of your Voice Overs.
  • Customizable Quality: Adjust audio quality to suit your needs while optimizing file sizes.

We’re excited for you to try out these new features and see how they can elevate your coaching practice. As always, we’re committed to delivering updates that make a real difference in your work. Stay tuned for more innovations and enhancements coming your way soon!

Thank you for being part of the CoachNow community. Here’s to continued success and improvement in your coaching journey!
