New - Switch to Lifetime: If you already subscribe, you can now purchase Lifetime directly under Settings > Subscription. The app will prompt you to cancel your previous subscription in App Store settings so you don't get double-charged. Improvements - Smarter E-Kick Scooter Routing: Scooter routes across Europe now strictly prioritize bike lanes, cycle paths, and quiet streets while keeping you off pedestrian footways and high-speed roads (70+ km/h). Scenic routes are now roughly 10% shorter on average. - Country-Specific Scooter Speed Defaults: Scooter default speeds now align with local regulations (20 km/h in Germany, Switzerland, Poland, and Italy; 24 km/h in the US; 25 km/h elsewhere). You can easily reset to the country default or keep your custom speed limit active across regions. - Fixes - Relevant Speed Zone Alerts: Silenced speed limit announcements your scooter cannot physically reach (such as dropping from 50 to 30 km/h), while retaining helpful alerts for low-speed zones like 10 km/h. - Accurate Ride Stats: Resolved a bug where new rides were counted twice toward lifetime stats, milestones, and service reminders. (Existing totals remain unchanged.) - Preserved Stats on Update: Updating the app will no longer reset your lifetime statistics to your last 10 rides or overwrite older Trip Logs. - Reliable iCloud Sync: Prevented app defaults from overwriting your cloud data during clean installs or when switching to a new device. Saved places, settings, and custom speed caps now reliably restore as expected. - Multi-Device Sync Conflicts: Fixed an issue where changes made on an iPad or secondary phone could be overwritten when returning to your primary device. Plus the usual routing and stability improvements. Happy riding!

We’re constantly working to make your rides smoother. In this update, we’ve added highly requested routing options, a new language, and under-the-hood tweaks to keep your battery going longer. Calmer Roads for Light Motorcycles - Riding a 125cc or light motorcycle and want to avoid the most aggressive traffic? We’ve added a new "Calmer Roads" toggle. It keeps you off the fastest main and trunk roads when a more relaxed route is available, without being quite as restrictive as a moped profile. Fast Mode for Mopeds in Sweden - Swedish riders, you can finally skip the gravel! We’ve enabled the "Fast" mode option for mopeds in Sweden, letting you safely route via the faster main roads you're legally allowed to ride on instead of wandering onto back roads. (Don't worry, we still keep you completely off motorways and expressways). Labas! Lithuanian Support - Urban Rider now fully speaks Lithuanian. The entire app interface and turn-by-turn voice guidance are fully translated. It will automatically follow your iPhone’s system language, or you can select it manually in Settings. Better Battery Life - We’ve streamlined how the map updates and optimized how the app saves data in the background. The result? Urban Rider uses noticeably less battery on long rides, leaving you with more juice when you reach your destination. Smoother Experience & Bug Fixes - Persistent Language Settings: If you use Urban Rider on multiple devices sharing the same Apple ID, your language settings will no longer mysteriously overwrite each other. Your choice now stays locked in per device. - Stay Centered: We fixed a quirk where changing the app's language in Settings would cause the map to lose your location. Now, the map stays perfectly centered on you when making a switch. Plus the usual routing and stability improvements. Happy riding!

- Fast Mode for Mopeds in Sweden: Swedish riders can now select "Fast" mode! This keeps you on faster, legally permitted main roads instead of sending you on long detours down gravel backroads. Fast mode still strictly avoids motorways and expressways, getting you to your destination quicker and smoother. - Better Battery Life: We’ve optimized how the app processes map updates and handles diagnostic logs under the hood. The result? Urban Rider uses noticeably less battery on long rides, while keeping everything looking and working exactly the same. - Language & Sync Fixes: Your language preference is now saved per device, meaning it will no longer randomly revert if you use Urban Rider on multiple devices with the same Apple ID. We also fixed a bug where the map would lose your location and stop centering on you right after changing the app language. Plus the usual routing and stability improvements. Happy riding!

- Set Urban Rider as your phone's default navigation app.On iPhones in the EU (iOS 18.4 and later) and Japan (iOS 26.2 and later), you can now pick Urban Rider under Settings, Apps, Default Apps, Navigation. Once it is your default, tapping an address in another app can open directions straight into Urban Rider instead of Maps: getting directions starts the ride, and opening a place shows it with a route preview first. - Favourites remember their stops. When you save a route that has stops along the way as a favourite, those stops are now saved with it. Riding it again from your favourites takes you the same way through each stop, instead of straight to the destination. This also works when you start the favourite from Siri or a home screen widget. Plus the usual routing and stability improvements. Happy riding!

We have rolled out major routing improvements for moped riders, smarter alerts, and smoother navigation across the board! - Smart "Switch to Fastest" Suggestions: Riding on the Efficient preference and taking a long detour? If a genuinely quicker, moped-legal route exists, you will now see a one-tap suggestion card showing how much time you can save, without changing your default preference. - Cleaner Ride Preferences: We have reordered the tabs into a smooth spectrum from calm to fast: Scenic, Efficient, and Fast (formerly "Fastest" for mopeds) - Precise Speed-Camera Warnings: Camera alerts now measure distance accurately along your actual route, meaning you will only be alerted for cameras on your path and no longer bothered by parallel roads. - Reliable Long-Distance & Cross-Border Moped Trips: Long trips (such as Berlin to Hamburg or Berlin to Amsterdam) now plan seamlessly. We have improved how long routes are split and calculated, eliminating routing errors and cooldowns. - No More Absurd Detours: Moped routes are now much more direct. We have fine-tuned how the app avoids faster roads so your rides stay sensible while keeping you safely off motorways. Plus the usual routing and stability improvements. Happy riding!

- Camera warnings now follow your actual route instead of straight‑line distance, so they fire at the right moment through bends and roundabouts. And if a trip takes you past the same camera twice (an out‑and‑back or a loop), you get a heads‑up on each pass. - Snorfiets on cycle paths. Moped riders can now choose to follow cycle paths: turn on "Ride on cycle paths" in Speed & Warnings. - Netherlands & Belgium moped cue. A spoken heads‑up when to move onto the bike path or back onto the road. Plus the usual routing and stability improvements. Happy riding!

Introducing the Garage: stay on top of your maintenance Urban Rider now tracks when your vehicle is due for service. Set up a Garage for each vehicle, tell it how yours is powered (petrol, diesel, electric or pedal), and get a tailored checklist: tyres, brakes, oil, chain, battery and more. Reminders follow how far you actually ride, so you are nudged at the right time, not too early or too late. Switch on notifications, snooze anything you are not ready for, and tap a due job to route straight to your saved mechanic or the nearest fuel and air. Everything stays private on your device. Also new - Ride on cycle paths: if you ride a light 25 to 30 km/h moped that belongs on the cycle path, turn on the new option under Speed & warnings and your routes will follow cycle paths. - Microcar profile (beta) for light quadricycles, with routing tuned to where they belong. - Watch your ride back: replay any recorded trip on the map and export it as a shareable video. - Find a public toilet nearby, with a list, map pins and directions. - Search by voice: tap the mic in the search bar and say where you want to go. - Pin your favourite places to the map and give them a custom icon. - Fewer detours into roadworks: reroutes now remember your trip's live closures. - Report a routing problem right from your ride summary. - More polish and reliability fixes throughout. Plus the usual routing and stability improvements. Happy riding!

Relive your ride, then share it - Watch Ride replays your recorded trip right in the app, so you can watch the whole route play back from ride history. - Share your ride as a video. Turn any recorded ride into a clean, shareable clip with your distance, top speed, and a map that follows the route. Pick the length and format (portrait, square) before you export. Your favourites, now on the map - Saved places appear as pins on the map when you are not navigating. Tap one to route there instantly. - For Custom saved places, choose your own icon so each pin is easy to spot at a glance. Smarter reroutes - Reroutes now remember the closures on your trip, so the app stops sending you back into a road it already knows is closed. Voice search polish -Voice search now understands your language wherever you ride, and the mic and speech permission prompts are fully localised. Plus the usual routing and stability improvements. Happy riding!

In this update, we’ve added a few new features and improvements to make your rides even better: - Search by voice. Tap the mic in the search field to speak an address or place instead of typing. It understands your language and works offline. - Better detours around road closures. When you reroute near a known closure or construction site, Urban Rider now keeps steering you around it instead of sending you back into it. - Smaller fixes and reliability improvements. Thanks for riding with us! Ride safe!

Fewer crashes, correct distance units in the US, a smoother follow camera, and general cleanup under the hood. Thanks for riding with us! Ride safe!

This update adds Polish and sharpens routing across more of Europe. • Polish. The whole app and its spoken turn-by-turn guidance are now available in Polish, our tenth language. • Smarter routing, wider coverage. Long-distance routes now build cleanly across the UK, Greece, the Nordics, the Baltics, and southeast Europe, and rural routes in Finland no longer take needless detours around quiet, unmarked roads. • Moped routing in the UK. Where the law allows it, routes now treat A-roads like any other road, with a new setting to keep strictly off them if you prefer. • Better scenic loops. Round-trip routes stay direct instead of doubling back near main roads. • Accessibility. VoiceOver now announces the on-map navigation buttons by name. • Refinements. Fewer crashes, correct distance units in the US, a smoother follow camera, and general cleanup under the hood. Thanks for riding with us! Ride safe!

Behind-the-scenes reliability improvements and polish. Ride safe!

This update makes your routes more direct and your on-screen info more accurate: • Straighter city routes. We stopped sending you the long way around cobblestone and brick streets. They're ordinary roads, so we now route over them like any other. Avoiding rough surfaces is something you turn on when you want it, not off. • Live traffic as a clean line. Congestion now shows as a smooth orange line along your route instead of a row of dots, so the slow stretches are obvious at a glance. • Accurate weather. Temperature now shows in your local units (°F in the US), and sunrise and sunset times are correct for your location. • Share cards that fit. Your ride milestones now look right whether you post them as an Instagram Story, Reel, or Post. Thanks for riding with us. Questions or ideas? We read every message.

New: Bike Types Choose the bike that matches how you ride, and your routes adapt to suit. - City: smooth roads and cycle paths for everyday trips - Road: fast tarmac, skips the cycle paths and rough surfaces - Mountain: seeks out tracks, trails and gravel, and takes on the climbs We also improved routing on hilly terrain, so you no longer get sent the long way around a short steep stretch. Thanks for riding with Urban Rider.

- Ride around traffic and closures. New Avoid Heavy Traffic and Avoid Road Closures options use live data to steer you past jams and blocked roads. Both are off by default, so switch them on in Settings whenever you want them. - A clearer view of the road ahead. The map now eases out as you pick up speed so junctions and exits show up in time, tuned to each vehicle type. You can also pan and zoom the map freely while riding; it slides back to follow you a few seconds after you let go. - Share any route. Open a route, or a round trip, in Google Maps or Apple Maps, or export it as a GPX file. - Plus polish across the route panel and a batch of routing fixes under the hood. Thanks for riding with Urban Rider. Keep the feedback coming!

We now avoid heavy traffic, just toggle it on under Settings - Rather have max speed and current speed in the top left corner? now you can switch between the two in the settings. Thanks for riding with Urban Rider. Keep the feedback coming!

- See the fast stretches before you ride. On moped routes, any section posted above 80 km/h is now marked in orange on the map, so you can see exactly where it is. These roads are still legal for your moped, the colour just shows where traffic moves quicker. - Optional compass. Turn it on under Settings, Map & Display. Thanks for riding with Urban Rider. Keep the feedback coming!

- Voice, your way: separate toggles for spoken directions, speed warnings, and speed camera alerts.

Gas and charging stations: clearer results when you are offline, and tapping one now opens a proper destination card. Thanks for all the feedback. It shapes what we build next. Enjoy!

Fastest mode now takes the most direct legal route. When you choose Fastest, your ride sticks to the quickest legal roads instead of detouring around main roads just because they carry faster traffic. You still stay off motorways and any road your vehicle is not allowed on. Ideal for the days when getting there quickly matters most. Also: more accurate speed-limit signs when riding in Taiwan, Japan, and Korea. Thanks for all the feedback. It shapes what we build next. Enjoy!
