Voice messages!
It’s a bit hard to get your excitement or instructions across when sending written messages so I think voice messaging would be a great addition. I’ve had clients reach out to me this way on IG and the response is much more fluid.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your great suggestion! We’re marking this idea as completed! You can learn more about it in this blog post or in this help article.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You and your client MUST be on app version v.7.114.0 in order for the voice message function to work on mobile. It will not work otherwise. Certain Custom branded apps are still rolling out, but you should be getting it shortly if you haven’t so far.
Few important things you should know about voice messages feature:
- Voice messages are available in DMs, and Groups, and both on Web and Mobile.
- You have 2 ways of sending voice message:
-Tap, Hold to Record and Release to send
-Tap, Hold, Swipe up to lock for hands free, Record hands free and Tap to send
- Length of voice message is up to 5min long.
- You have ability to speed up the voice message to up to 2x.
- Voice messages in groups are off by default for clients, but you can turn it on in the settings.
- Just like any other message you can delete voice message.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note below items we are aware of an working on. We don’t have precise ETA yet for it:
- User can’t start new thread with a voice message - currently in development and we will be releasing this fix soon
- Trainer can’t turn off voice messages for clients in DMs - on the roadmap no ETA at the moment but you can vote for this idea here as we will be regularly checking demand for this which will help us prioritize this feature.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We’re returning your vote to you so please come back to ideas.trainerize.com to add your vote to other ideas.
Thanks!

Leaving a voice note on chats with clients would be a great way to save time typing out huge messages and helps make coaching more personal.

Being able to send voice memo responses over written responses to check ins and weekly check ins

This has been over a year in the making. Can we get a more specific date to be expected please?

I thought this originally said planned for Q3 of 2022?
This feature is CRITICAL. Having several apps is very unhelpful.

Josie Lindsey commented
Being able to send voice messages as well. I think It would be a great addition

Hi guys! Any update on this? We NEED this feature! Thank you!

Daniela Liset commented
Can we get a month on when this year so we can tell our clients?
This app lacks the personal touch with our own voices being available to clients daily, rather than a message, urgently needed please. -
Trainer commented
Is this any further forward yet? Definitely think this should be top of the list?

Suggested in aug 2020.
Status “planned” 15th October.
This is by far one of the most important and popular feature updates to be posted and still no action as yet or update to when it’s likely to be ready, whilst other updates get pushed through with less votes /interest and less importance!
Sorting this will allow people to keep all communication with clients on trainerize.
Having to use other apps to do voicenotes is so rubbish

Would love this feature and it would allow us to stop using WhatsApp and have EVERYTHING in Trainerize!!!

Please integrate voice memos into the messaging part of the app - we use WhatsApp purely for the easability of the app - voice memos make it more engaging to interact!

Just like on iPhone, the ability to send short audio recordings or replies on the message tab of the app

It would be cool if we could send voice memos in the messaging section! Currently my coach uses another app for communication but it would be cool if it was all in one place!

It would be ideal if this feature was like Voxer...where both trainer and client can leave voice messages so you can offer it as a stand alone walkie talkie style access to a coach

When will this feature be added? I consider it a necessity as an online coach. I can't believe the original post is nearly 2 years old... I hate having to use another app just for voice memos. It should be crucial for your app to truly be a one-stop shop for clients.

Currently using third party software for voice notes because we don't want to use What's App for check-ins so this would not only save us a tonne of time but make the coaching process so much easier for both the coach and client.
We are nearly half way through 2022 - have you got a date in mind?
