Updates

Every change to the apps and the Academy, in plain language. This is what is new and what you will see when you open it.

EZ Version 2.11.0

Remove Background

  • Remove Background. Show the rider, bike and trainer on their own, with everything behind them blurred, on the Fit screen. One button turns it on or off for each record. Needs iOS 17 and a device that can run the subject mask.
  • Fixed: A database error logged on every launch of a fresh install. The Upper Body panel icon.
Elite Version 3.9.0

Remove Background

  • Remove Background. Show the rider, bike and trainer on their own, with everything behind them blurred, on the dashboards, in Compare, and on reports and exports. One button on the dashboard turns it on or off for each video. Needs iOS 17 and a device that can run the subject mask.
  • Fit ranges by bike type. Torso, Shoulder and Forearm target bands no longer change with rider level, and eleven bands have been re-centred on measured riders. Sessions you have already analyzed show the new colours; the measured angles do not change.
  • Rear-view sessions adjusted by hand in BFF Pro now display with their adjusted points.
  • Fixed: A crash on iPad when importing from Photos. A crash in LiveCheck when memory runs low. Duplicated measurement sets after syncing between devices, which could crash a video on open; they are cleaned the next time the video opens. A database error logged on every launch of a fresh install. Text that overflowed in four places in German and Spanish. The Upper Body panel icon.
Pro Version 2.9.0

  • Adjust Points on the front and rear views. Move the tracked points by hand on the front-view and rear-view dashboards, as you already could on the side view, and the measurements follow.
  • Fit ranges by bike type. Torso, Shoulder and Forearm target bands no longer change with rider level, and eleven bands have been re-centred on measured riders. Sessions you have already analyzed show the new colours; the measured angles do not change.

EZ Version 2.10.0

BFF Academy

  • BFF Academy. A BFF Academy button appears on help pages that have a matching lesson, the library menu has an Academy entry, and new installs meet the Academy in the welcome screens. Lessons open in your language.
  • The calculators remember where you left off.
  • Fixed: Side videos are no longer letterboxed, purchases unlock immediately, files open in the right app, the Tools screens on iPad sit in a centred column, and button titles no longer wrap in German and Portuguese.
Elite Version 3.8.0

Ankle Toe Angle at every crank position

  • Shorter menus. The Session and Video menus no longer scroll: Sharing and Import items live in their own submenus.
  • Ankle Toe Angle at every crank position. The angle is now available at the top and middle of the pedal stroke as well as the bottom, each with its own editable target range.
  • Effective Saddle Angle in the ranges editor. The band that colours the dashboard reading can now be seen and changed, and Knee / Pedal has its own editable range with a clearer axis.
  • Compare an EZ session with a video. Three still pictures are enough to morph against a full recording, and two recordings no longer need the same knee-angle convention to be compared.
  • Comparison video reports in portrait. Comparison reports now default to portrait with no cover page, ready to share on Instagram.
  • Fixed: Video reports carry the BFF Elite mark instead of BFF Pro's. Measurement ranges now sync between your devices, and editing one range no longer freezes the others. The Foot Angle target band at the top of the stroke has been re-centred, so sessions already analysed will show the new colours. The Aero elbow point can be dragged without the pads and extensions drifting sideways, and a session keeps its bike type after Reanalyze. Side videos are no longer letterboxed, the four Tools on iPad sit in a centred column, the Compare badge shows consistently, and New Comparison unlocks right after a purchase.
