Original release notes

Try before you unlock.

• Every Pro workout — Advanced, the Progressive ladder and Geometric Patterns — now comes with one full session free. Look for "Try free" in the workout list, or the new row on Home
• After that, one free Pro session comes back every two weeks — a different workout each time
• A free session is only used up when you finish it, so you can stop early and come back to it
• Pro is still a single one-time unlock. No subscription, no ads, no account
• Fixed a rare crash when moving quickly between exercises
• The "You did it!" screen now fits smaller iPhones
