What’s new
Version 1.3.5 · Updated October 17, 2026
- Fixed: the app no longer crashes on launch on iOS 27. - Tap a spot on the map to see how far it is from you (straight-line) instead of its coordinates. - Choose your route colour (red, blue, orange or purple) in Settings. It is used for every route line: ride maps, the ride list, the live map, the heatmap and shared images. Easier to see with red/green colour blindness. - The Pro price on the Profile screen is no longer cut off. - The map compass is no longer hidden behind the "Where to?" bar, so you can tap it to turn the map back to north.
