2024 Release notes

Written by CrewLAB Marketing

December 2024

🌟 New

  • Multi-chat. Create separate chat threads so your team's conversations stay focused on what matters most, with controls that keep coaches and athletes in a semi-open space.

  • AI-assisted schedule creation. New teams get an assistant to help populate their schedule.

📈 Improved

  • Posting on behalf of another user. Logging workouts for someone else is easier.

  • Share into CrewLAB. Send images and text from other apps straight into CrewLAB.

  • Privacy settings for posting. Better control over where a workout goes when you belong to several groups.

  • Better GIFs.

🔧 Fixed

  • Image picker and video button issues, eradicated.

  • The Android disco screen. No more flashing.

  • Workout count on the calendar now displays correctly.

November 2024

🔧 Fixed

  • A pile of small annoyances across formatting, dates and notifications. Keep the reports coming.

October 2024

🌟 New

  • Coach Portal on your phone. Build lineups and get into the Coach Portal from a mobile device, so you can organize crews and reach team information from the dock, the bus or anywhere else.

📈 Improved

  • Video and roster rework. Both features were rebuilt for speed and reliability.

  • Multiple images per chat message. Share a set of photos in one go instead of one at a time.

  • Grouped linked workouts. Related workouts now sit together in the home feed, so a session reads as one thing.

🔧 Fixed

  • Mentions and chat quirks. A long list of oddities around mentions and messaging is gone.

August 2024

🌟 New

  • Built for running and swimming. CrewLAB is now tuned for runners and swimmers, with performance tracking, training programs and resources shaped around those sports — whether you're building toward a marathon or sharpening your strokes.

  • Summer Smasher recaps. Everyone who took part can revisit their efforts, training progress and wins from the campaign.

📈 Improved

  • Availability while building lineups. See who's actually around as you set the crew.

  • Replies in comments and chats.

  • Easier workout and event linking. Get your calendars ready.

🔧 Fixed

  • Workout and event interactions are much smoother.

  • The late-night check-in reset. You no longer have to redo your daily check-in at night — time zones are tricky.

July 2024

🌟 New

  • Home feed overhaul. A rebuilt feed that uses space better and puts the fun back in: images and reflections now lead, so the most engaging posts from your team are the easiest to find.

  • Coach Portal calendar updates. The Coach HQ calendar on the web loads faster and offers more scheduling options, so managing your schedule takes less work. Take a look at app.crewlab.io.

  • Cast video to AirPlay. Send video straight to any AirPlay-ready TV and review training footage on a screen big enough to see the detail.

  • Revamped chat and comments. A fresh look and feel that makes giving feedback on a teammate's workout simpler and more enjoyable.

🔧 Fixed

  • Team chat, calendar and notifications. Several bugs across all three, resolved.

June 2024

🌟 New

  • Video player overhaul. Faster loading, smoother scrubbing, higher quality video and no more HDR glare — review footage is clear and quick to move through.

  • Team chat upgrades. Longer messages, better navigation, and chats reachable from any page.

  • Summer Smasher leaderboards moved to the top.

  • Likes on comments. Spread the love.

🔧 Fixed

  • Concept2 integration. Every workout is captured now, and the integration holds up under the volume our users put through it.

  • Coach Portal consistency. Naming and page layout were reworked to match the app, so moving between web and mobile feels like one product.

May 2024

🌟 New

  • Scheduling: attendance and availability. No more remembering who can make it. Plan the whole schedule and settle availability in a few taps, with an attendance record kept for you automatically.

    • Share availability. Everyone marks availability up front, and anyone who can't make it is asked to tell the team why.

    • Track attendance. Pull up attendance history from any event, for all time. Coaches and captains can correct the record by hand when someone forgets.

    • Create shared events. Add competitions, the practice schedule, team meetings and anything else the team needs on one calendar.

    • Assign workouts. Attach an assigned workout to an event so your expectations are clear.

    • Assign pace targets. Set a pace target on erg workouts and everyone gets their own number.

    • Collect the results in one place. Everyone's workouts and times land together, including warmups and the sessions people made up on the bike.

April 2024

🌟 New

  • Send lineups to team chat. A much-requested one: push a lineup to your team in a single click. Lineups from different coaches collapse and expand, and boat size and crew weights are calculated for you.

  • Send athlete reviews to athletes. Another one you asked for — reviews go straight to your athlete's inbox.

🔧 Fixed

  • Split formatting on workout results in the Coach Portal.

March 2024

🌟 New

  • Concept2 Logbook integration. One of our most requested features. Use ErgData or whichever erg app you like, and the data flows into CrewLAB on its own.

  • More ways to share your group. Find them on your Team Space page: Profile → team name.

📈 Improved

  • Join notifications. Know right away when someone joins your CrewLAB group.

  • Merging duplicate accounts. Created more than one account by mistake? Fill out the Merge Account Request Form and we'll combine the workouts and data into the account you're keeping.

🔧 Fixed

  • Notifications not clearing when you belong to several groups, or create a group from an existing account.

  • One lineup per coach. You're no longer limited to a single lineup each.

February 2024

🌟 New

  • Create a team from the app. Anyone, anywhere can start CrewLAB for their team without leaving the app, and without a credit card. Already on a team and want another? Email [email protected].

  • A fresh new look. The whole app got a facelift: more inviting, more consistent, easier to use.

📈 Improved

  • Sign in with Google or Apple. Go ahead and forget your CrewLAB password.

  • A smoother Coach HQ. We re-platformed Coach HQ so it's more stable and matches the quality of the app.

🔧 Fixed

  • Getting stuck when opening the app.

  • Interval workouts miscalculating distances.

  • Android keyboards misbehaving.

January 2024

🌟 New

  • Early Access Program for super users. See new CrewLAB features before anyone else and talk directly to the developers, whose work your feedback will shape. Join our Discord to get in.

  • Create a team from the website. Start one at crewlab.io/get-started.

📈 Improved

  • Video without limits. Upload restrictions are gone, so a seven-hour regatta or a piece of 4K footage goes up as easily as a short clip.

🔧 Fixed

  • Performance and stability across the app, to keep up with a record volume of usage.
