Terms of Use
Last updated: August 26, 2026
These terms cover your use of Active Metrics, made by Spears Software. By installing and using the app you agree to them, along with Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, which governs all apps distributed through the App Store and TestFlight. Where these terms and Apple’s EULA conflict, Apple’s EULA controls.
No warranty
Active Metrics is provided “as is,” without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We don’t guarantee it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for any particular purpose. To the extent permitted by law, Spears Software is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the app.
Keep your own records of anything that matters to you. Workouts save to Apple Health and sync through your own iCloud account, so your data does not depend on us — but no software is immune to bugs, and we don’t accept liability for lost workout data.
Not a medical device
Active Metrics is a fitness and training tool, not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition. Heart-rate, recovery, readiness, and training-status figures are estimates for training purposes — talk to a doctor about any real health concern, and before starting a new training plan.
Not for navigation or safety-critical use
GPS, turn-by-turn navigation, offline maps, and live location sharing are aids for training, not a substitute for careful route planning or good judgment outdoors. Don’t rely on Active Metrics as your sole means of navigation, or as a safety system, in remote or hazardous terrain.
Live location sharing
Live sharing is off by default and entirely opt-in. If you add someone as a beacon contact, you’re responsible for having their permission to use their email address. Don’t use live sharing to track anyone other than yourself.
Subscriptions
Recording workouts is free. Active Metrics Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription — $7.99/month or $49.99/year, starting with a 1-month free trial — that unlocks trends and training status, readiness and coaching, full post-workout insights, routes and navigation, live sharing, and the Trail map style with offline tiles.
Purchases go through Apple’s in-app purchase system. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period. Manage or cancel in Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your iPhone. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
Refunds are handled by Apple, not by us — request one through Apple’s support site. Prices may change; we’ll update this section, and Apple notifies existing subscribers of price increases as required.
TestFlight builds
Some people run Active Metrics through TestFlight, either as pre-release builds of a future version or as part of a beta program. TestFlight builds are work in progress: expect bugs and rough edges, don’t rely on one as your only record of a workout that matters, and note that TestFlight builds expire roughly every 90 days. Everything else in these terms applies to TestFlight builds too.
Your feedback
If you send us feedback, bug reports, or suggestions — through TestFlight, email, or otherwise — you grant us the right to use them to improve Active Metrics without any obligation to you.
Changes
We may update these terms as the app evolves. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
