The new Gyroscope V8.3 update is now available for download in the App Store.
As you may know, our mission is to solve human health. Starting with this version, it is possible to dramatically improve human longevity. Starting early with preventative measures, it may even be possible to avoid many diseases.
The main thing you need to do for these benefits is to open the app daily: follow your morning checklist for accurate data, check in with your coach, take photos of your food, and keep an eye on your Health Score. It’s that simple!
Now you can open the app to get fully customized reports and insights from all the data that you’ve been tracking. With V8.3, this includes fully personalized reports that take into account your latest blood levels, DNA, goals, meals, and much more.
To make this happen behind the scenes, we’ve combined our comprehensive data tracking platform with the most powerful Superintelligence Engine. The result is new insights and personalization that have never been possible in human history, until today.
Everyone’s app experience will be different and fully customized, based on your particular goals, DNA, blood levels, biometrics and more. The human body is quite a complex machine, but with this update you can start to truly know and understand yourself.
Changes in V8.3
We have been optimizing the speed and reliability of the experiences, especially all the things done daily: logging meals with camera, talking to coach, opening reports, etc. to provide the best combination of speed, accuracy and personalization. This includes many fixes and improvements to features that you are already using daily:

New grades and benchmarks
Most people have a lot of data in Gyroscope, detected in the app and also synced from other devices and wearables. Some people may have been tracking these for over 10 years now, waiting for a day where it all comes together.
We’re excited to announce, that day is today!
The big question after tracking has generally been: what does it all mean? How do you get actionable insights? And once you know what to do, how do you actually make sure you do it and don’t procrastinate?
With our advanced Health Score algorithm and new Superintelligence capabilities, we’ve finally solved these issues. The new reports are able to simplify it to the actual insight you need, so you can get fully personalized guidance from your coach on any topic.
Each of the major sections — food, fitness, mind — now has a new grading system, complete with more info, more customized grades tailored to your level, and dozens of detailed reports.
Whether you are interested in living longer, being more focused at work, being present for your family, or something else... getting all your grades up to an A and your Health Score as high as possible is probably the most efficient way to get there.
New blood levels & DNA insights
We have had blood level and DNA tracking for many years. Now you can start to truly understand that data, and get the most detailed and actionable reporting possible. For a human, looking at hundreds or thousands of data points and all your variations can be daunting. But for our latest AI, this is a simple task that can be done in 10 seconds.
For the most personalized experience, you can even order a blood test to get your top biomarkers like ApoB, Vitamin D, Homocysteine and Testosterone analyzed, all from the comfort of your home—and a fraction of the cost of other services.
Each of the items in Mind, Food and Fitness in your Health tab can now be opened to view a detailed report with more info, science and insights.
Even if you don’t have a recent blood test or your genetic data, you can see these reports for all your tracking inside Gyroscope — food history, quizzes, sleep, workouts and more.
Now these can be easily exported and shared also, saved to the Gyroscope album in your photos for easy access and permanent storage.
Improved Food Tracking
Our most famous feature is the food tracking, where you can take a photo of your meals for accurate and detailed insights.
Many apps are starting to superficially copy this feature, but ours is so far the only one that is truly accurate as we have spent many years testing and optimizing the system.
Some more tips for getting the best experience: you can take photos on your phone and upload them later, but generally taking the photo directly in the app wil lget the fastest feedback and make tracking food most manageable.
For the analysis to work, the phone needs to be unlocked while it is running. So please don’t lock your phone while the analyis is in progress, or else it may not complete due to iOS limitations. Once you see the calorie count (generally about 5-10 seconds later), then you can safely close it and continue your meal.
In the latest version, especially if you have considerable food history already, you can often skip typing in the label to save even more time and energy. Or if it is a confusing or complex meal, or custom nonstandard ingredients, then you can always type in more info about what you ate.
For unlabeled automatic analysis, we’ve added some new speed improvements to go even faster, bringing the food analysis time down to less than ever, and much faster than any other app.
For people who want maximum accuracy, you can also take photos of your food on a scale. This will analyze the food, but also use the weight listed (in grams, etc.) to maximize the precision. Even without a scale, the visual analysis is quite close now (and better than most humans can do on their own), but with a scale it can reach truly superhuman accuracy.
The new Custom Reports
Now you can get coaching and insights as unique as you are.
Anything with this icon can be tapped to view a detailed report, custom generated by your G1 coach.
You can even export the report as an image to save for later, share with your doctor, show off on social media, or anything else.
Improved Coach Tab
Now the coach tab is faster and more customized, showing specific guides, insights, habits and videos to help with your mission.
When you first open it, you’ll get a personalized message from your coach. No more needing to open the chat to see what to do or get a quick quest.
You’ll get some quick highlights and suggestions right there, or you can keep scrolling to browse through all the custom insights that your coach prepared for you.
Unlike other social media apps where the more you scroll the more time you waste, here the more you scroll through your Coach tab the smarter and more healthy you can become — and everything is verified and tailored to you, so you can be sure it is things that will truly help you rather than inaccurate or conflicting advice often found around the internet.
Updated Widgets
Even outside of the app, now you can keep your Gyroscope goals and data in mind. In this version, the widgets can be tinted with your iOS settings whether you have it set to white or a custom color, or standard dark mode.
You can set up two new widgets to help you stay on track with your goals long term: seeing your day’s calories or your latest message from coach.
Set the widget on your Homescreen so that you are reminded about your goals every time you open your phone!
