DigDeeep

Support

DigDeeep uses your iPhone's front camera to count your push-ups in real time, completely on your device. This page helps you get set up and answers common questions.

Getting Started

Requires an iPhone running iOS 17 or later. Push-up counting needs a real device with a working front camera — it does not run on the Simulator.
Sign in with Apple the first time you open the app. This is the only sign-in method; no password is needed.
Prop your phone up facing you (on the floor or against something), in portrait, with the front camera pointing at you and your upper body in frame.
Grant camera permission when asked. Video is used only to count reps and never leaves your phone.
Every session starts with a 6-second lead-in (a short countdown) so you have time to get into position. Counting begins when the countdown ends.

How Rep Counting Works

DigDeeep uses Apple's on-device Vision body-pose tracking. It watches the descent of your chest and shoulders to detect a full down-and-up push-up.
Keep your upper body — head, shoulders, and torso — in the camera frame. Good, even lighting helps a lot.
Reps that don't go deep enough don't count; you may see a gentle "go lower" prompt.
If you stall at the bottom of a hard rep and the camera briefly loses you, DigDeeep still credits that rep on the way back up — the hardest rep of the set is never punished.
If tracking is lost you'll see "Make sure your full body is visible." Reposition so your upper body is in frame and counting resumes automatically.

The Three Modes

Countdown — set a time, and push until the clock runs out.
Goal — pick a target number of reps and race the stopwatch to reach it.
Dig Deeep! — open-ended; go until you tap Stop.

Subscriptions, Trial & Restore

New users get a 7-day free trial with everything unlocked (all modes, all durations).
After the trial, the 1-minute Countdown stays free forever, including your streak, daily totals, weekly chart, lifetime total, and recent history.
DigDeeep Pro unlocks every mode and duration, your age/sex ranking, personal-best detail pages, and pacing analytics. Pricing: Monthly $1.99, Yearly $14.99 (save ~37% vs monthly), or Lifetime $29.99 one-time.
Restore Purchases: open Settings inside the app and tap Restore Purchases. Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID you purchased with.
Manage or cancel a subscription in the iOS Settings app: tap your name, then Subscriptions. Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends.
Your trial and purchase status follow your Apple ID, so reinstalling or switching devices keeps your access.

Ranking & Percentile

Ranking (Pro) compares your best 60-second Countdown effort against approximate benchmarks for your age and sex and shows an approximate "top X%".
It is a rough guide for general comparison only — an approximate estimate, not a medical or professional fitness assessment.

Privacy

All camera and pose analysis happens entirely on your device, in real time. No video, image, or frame is ever stored or transmitted.
DigDeeep has no ads and no third-party tracking. The only data leaving the app is for Sign in with Apple and subscription handling.

Troubleshooting / FAQ

"Reps aren't counting.": Make sure you're on a real iPhone (not the Simulator), your upper body is in the front-camera frame, and lighting is good. Prop the phone so your head, shoulders and torso are visible.
"It says my full body isn't visible.": Reposition so your upper body is in frame; counting resumes on its own.
"Camera unavailable.": The Simulator has no camera — use a physical iPhone.
"I paid but Pro didn't unlock.": Open Settings → Restore Purchases, and confirm you're signed in with the Apple ID you bought with. Entitlements can take a moment to sync.
"My streak reset.": The daily target is 20 reps in a day, any mode; a streak is consecutive days meeting it. Missing a full day resets it.
"Where's my old history?": The 5 most recent sessions are shown in full, but your daily totals, streak, lifetime total, and personal bests are kept forever.
