Implementation Priority

Immediate (Next Sprint)

  1. Workout Presets - High impact, low complexity
  2. Basic History Tracking - User's #1 request
  3. Custom Sound Packs - Easy wins for user satisfaction

Short-term (1-3 months)

  1. Template Sharing - Viral growth potential
  2. Apple Watch App - Platform differentiation
  3. Achievement System - Increase engagement

Long-term (3-12 months)
