FAQ
Questions I get asked.
If something here doesn't cover it, email me at aadit@versus24.net. I usually get back within a few hours.
Product
Do I need to be a fighter to use this?
Nope. The fighter branding is because that's what I train and combat sports have the worst app coverage of any modality. But the resistance, endurance, sport, and mobility loggers all hold their own. If you only lift, Versus is basically Hevy with a proper recovery layer. If you only run, it's Strava with the analysis Strava doesn't do.
Does it work for lifters?
Yes. The resistance logger does supersets, drop sets, RPE/RIR, percentage-of-1RM auto-loading, PR detection on every set. You can pull five years of history from Hevy, Strong, or Fitbod in a single import. Core adds the analytics layer (ACWR (acute:chronic workload ratio), plateau detection, full load trends).
Does it work for runners and cyclists?
Yes. The endurance logger uses HR zones, either from a lab test you punch in or an HRmax estimate. Strava and Garmin pull in your existing history. The watch app gives you live HR and lap splits during the run. Core adds ACWR tuned for endurance plus race-week taper logic if you actually compete.
Does it sync with Apple Health, Strava, Hevy, Garmin?
Apple Health: yes, two-way. Versus reads HRV, sleep, RHR, and workouts. It also writes Versus sessions back into Health so the rest of your iOS ecosystem sees them. Strava and Garmin: one-tap import of your full history. Hevy, Strong, and Fitbod: import only. I haven't built reverse sync to those because nobody's actually asked for it yet.
Is there an Apple Watch app?
Yes, native. Combat round timer, live HR, lap splits for endurance, sRPE prompt at the end. Sessions sync back to the phone before you finish toweling off.
Is there an Android app?
Not yet. iOS first, because shipping cross-platform from day one would have taken three more years and I'm one person. The Android build is coming January 2027. Add your email on the Android page and I'll tell you the moment it lands.
Does voice work for lifting?
Yes. Combat, endurance, and resistance all parse from voice. Resistance shipped in v1.1, so "bench press, three sets of eight at 80 kilos, RPE eight" becomes a structured session. Templates and last-session recall keep tap-through logging under 15 seconds when you'd rather not talk.
Usage cap: one voice log per day on Free and Core, unlimited on Elite. The cap is shared across modalities, not per-modality.
Pricing
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, via the App Store. Same as every iOS subscription. Apple handles the cancellation and the refund window. After cancellation you keep your data and drop to the Free tier.
Is the free tier really free forever?
Yes. All 5 loggers, daily readiness, morning check-in, 90 days of history, gym feed and partner hub, skill tree with 17 martial arts (beginner level), 3 workout templates, 8 Vault check-ins, imports, Apple Watch, plus one voice log per day. No ads, no card. The Free tier is what I want most users to actually use; the paid tiers have to earn their price.
What's the difference between Core and Elite?
Core ($9.99/mo or $79.99/yr) is the analytics layer and the AI programming layer. ACWR workload chart, plateau detection, full load trends, 365-day history, the full skill tree across all 17 martial arts, unlimited Vault, unlimited templates. Two AI features do the programming work: the AI Daily Stack (a session plan every morning) and the AI Mobility Protocol (post-session mobility customized to what you just trained).
Elite ($14.99/mo or $119.99/yr) adds the conversational coach. Sensei is a load-aware AI you actually talk to about your training. Elite also gets you AI Sparring Debrief, Situation Drill, Opponent Scouting, AI Body Fat Estimate, and unlimited voice logging. Free and Core still get a daily voice log, just capped at one per day.
What happens if I'm on the waitlist?
Waitlist members get a 30-day Elite trial by email. No card required to start it. At the end of 30 days you pick Free, Core, or Elite. Nothing auto-charges.
Does it track nutrition and calories?
Yes. Versus sets your daily calorie and macro targets from your own stats and goal (cut, maintain, or bulk), then tracks protein, carbs, and fat against them, plus fiber, sugar, sodium, and water. AI Meal Scan logs a meal from a photo, your voice, or typed text: it identifies the food, estimates the portion, and fills in the macros for you to confirm. Nutrition tracking is free on every tier; AI Meal Scan is Elite-tier. More on nutrition →
Why is the price different in my country?
Prices are set per App Store storefront in your local currency, so they differ by country. India, for example, is significantly cheaper than the US. The site shows your region's price when it can detect it (and you can switch currency on the pricing page), and the App Store always confirms your exact local price before you subscribe.
Data + privacy
Where does my data live?
On your phone first (SwiftData), backed up to my Supabase database (encrypted in transit and at rest). HRV and sleep stay on-device in HealthKit; Versus reads them for the readiness score but never stores them on the server.
Can I export my data?
Yes. Settings → Account → Export. You get a CSV and JSON archive of every session, every set, every PR. Take it with you if you ever leave.
Can I delete my account?
Yes. Settings → Account → Delete Account. Your profile, workouts, photos, feed posts, comments, partnerships, and gym memberships are gone within 30 days. Anonymized aggregates might stick around for product improvement; nothing tied to you.
Sensei AI
Where does Sensei run?
On Anthropic's Claude. When you chat with Sensei, the relevant session context and your message go to Anthropic to generate the response. For voice logging, your phone transcribes the audio on-device first using Apple's Speech framework; only the text transcript goes to Anthropic, never the audio. The privacy policy spells it all out.
Does Anthropic train on my data?
No. Versus uses Anthropic's API tier, which doesn't train on customer data.
What languages does voice work in?
English at launch. I've tested US and UK accents. Spanish and Portuguese in v1.2.
Other
Who built this?
I did. Aadit Singal, solo. iOS app, backend, watchOS app, this website, the privacy policy. Story's on the about page.
How do I report a bug?
Email me at aadit@versus24.net. Steps to reproduce and your iOS version help a lot. There's also an in-app feedback form (Settings → Send feedback). I usually reply within a few hours.
When will [feature X] ship?
Check the changelog. Resistance voice parsing shipped in v1.1 alongside nutrition tracking. Still on the list: shareable workout cards, Spanish and Portuguese voice logging, and team mode for sport athletes.
