    Announcement

    💪 movr moving to a paid plan Starting May 27th, movr is moving to a paid plan that costs only $4.99/mth. 40% the regular price!
    
    💬 New Chatter coming soon We've been working on a new Chatter for over a year. It's lightning fast and makes chatting with your team so much better.

     

    BenchApp Plus

    For those teams that don't need all the PRO features, we're launching BenchApp Plus for those users that don't like to see ads. For only $1.99/mth, you'll have a smoother, less annoying BenchApp experience. And we plan to release a bunch of perks for our Plus users soon!

     

    BenchApp movr

    BenchApp launched movr within the app over a year ago, and thousands of BenchApp users have been using it since, getting personalized movement plans that help them stay active, feel better, and recovery from those nagging injuries.

    Starting Tuesday, May 27th, movr will be switching to a paid plan. But here’s the good news: while movr is normally $7.99/month, BenchApp users get it for just $4.99/month.

    That’s nearly 40% off, just for using BenchApp with movr.

     

    New Chatter Coming Soon

    We have been working on a new Chatter system for over a year, and we can't wait to release it to all our users. We think you're going to love it. And once it's out, we'll be able to build out and improve BenchApp much faster. We can't wait for you to try it!

  6. Fixes to Calendar Subscriptions & more

    Fix

    Last week, we had a glitch in our system where calendar events were being removed from your Apple or Google Calendar before the scheduled start time. This has been fixed.

    Additional recent fixes:

    • The date and time when a player was setting their RSVP was incorrect
    • Some users were unable to edit or save events on the website
