What's New in 1.6.7 This update is all about accuracy and reliability: More reliable Apple Watch rucks — completed watch rucks now save more dependably, even in spotty conditions. More accurate calories — the calories you see during your ruck now match what's saved, and they sync more faithfully to Apple Health & Fitness. Sharper stats — distance and time now show with more precision across the app. Smoother syncing across your devices. Various bug fixes and performance improvements. Thanks for rucking with us!

A fresh look for your Home Screen All-new home screen widget — kangaroo, brand colors, and a live view of your active ruck right from your Home Screen The Lock Screen ruck card got the same glow-up, and now adapts beautifully to dark and light mode Smarter starts Your last ruck setup (pack weight and terrain) is now the default on both phone and watch — set it once, tap Start Fixed the keyboard popping up over the welcome tour on first open Better heart rate insights Time in Zones now shows the % of your ruck spent in each zone Zone colors now match between your watch and phone Little things Replay the app tour any time from your Profile Tune-ups behind the scenes to make future updates even better

Ruckaroo 1.6.5 — What's New This update fixes an issue where a ruck recorded on your Apple Watch could fail to save to your phone if the screen was locked during sync. Your watch rucks now save reliably, every time. Thanks for the reports that helped us track this down — keep them coming.

Ruckaroo 1.6.4 — What's New Your rucks now save themselves. We removed the extra "unsaved rucks" step entirely — finish a ruck on your watch or phone and it's saved automatically, with a celebration to match. Nothing to confirm, nothing to lose track of. Rock-solid watch sync. Rucks recorded on your Apple Watch now make it to your phone reliably — even if your phone was locked, the app was closed, or the two were apart during your ruck. Your work always shows up. A better way to share. Your shared rucks now feature a clean, branded card with your badge and stats built right in — the same polished image everywhere you post it. Say goodbye to shrunken photos and cluttered layouts, hello to something worth showing off. More accurate numbers. Calorie estimates now factor in your heart rate for a truer read of your effort — especially on treadmills and steady-pace rucks. Elevation tracking is sharper too, using your device's barometer for real climb instead of GPS guesswork. Stay in the loop. A new notifications inbox keeps your reactions, comments, and activity in one place. Tap any profile to see a fellow rucker's journey. Plus polish throughout: enter your ruck time in hours and minutes, a smoother saving screen, cleaner stats that always add up, and a redesigned onboarding. Keep rucking.

Your ruck, live on your lock screen No more unlocking your phone mid-ruck. Distance, calories, and heart rate now update in real time on your lock screen and Dynamic Island — and they keep going even when your phone stays in your pocket, on the treadmill or on the trail. Treadmill tracking, sharpened We hunted down every remaining case where treadmill distance could record wrong — including rucks started from your Apple Watch. Your belt speed is now the single source of truth, on every screen, every save. Recorded a bad distance? Now you can fix it. GPS hiccup? Sensor glitch? You can now correct a recorded distance before saving — with a heads-up so your stats stay honest. Your score and calories recalculate from the corrected number. A cleaner home for everything Notifications moved to the Community tab, the full stats screen is one clearly-labeled tap from your dashboard, and we polished icons and badges throughout. Keep rucking.

Treadmill rucking, refined We rebuilt the treadmill experience from the ground up — a cleaner way to pick Outdoor or Treadmill when you start, more accurate indoor tracking, and a smoother handoff with your Apple Watch. Indoor sessions now sit right alongside your trail rucks. Apple Health, done right Your rucks now log cleaner, more accurate data: honest step counts (no more inflated numbers), calorie burn that actually accounts for the weight on your back, and sessions saved under the Ruckaroo name. A fresh look at your effort We redesigned the save and ruck-detail screens and added Pack Boost — a new highlight that shows exactly how many extra calories you burned from carrying your pack. Because that weight should get the credit it deserves. Smoother and more reliable Squashed a bug that could occasionally create a duplicate ruck after a watch session, plus polish throughout your stats. Keep rucking.

Hello Ruckaroo's! This release includes some enhancements to the Ruck setup screen where we made it easier for you to choose between an outdoor Ruck and a treadmill Ruck, and we squashed some bugs along the way. Enjoy!

Ruckaroo — the only app built for rucking and weighted walking. New in this release: share your rucks with style.

A SMOOTHER FIRST RUN New ruckers get a friendlier welcome, a cleaner tutorial, and a "Your Plan Is Ready" moment built around real body-weight math — so you start strong and know exactly why. PERMISSIONS THAT MAKE SENSE We stopped asking for everything up front. Now we only ask for location, camera, or notifications right when you actually need them — your call, your timing. POLISH EVERYWHERE Easier-to-read text throughout light mode Fixed the Live Ruck timer so it never crowds your heart rate A cleaner post-ruck Ruck Score screen Squashed bugs, tightened screens, and a bunch of little touches you'll feel but won't notice Keep showing up.

NEW: Treadmill Mode Ruck indoors with the same Pandolf scoring you get outside. Set your speed and incline at the start, pick your pack weight, and go. Works from your phone or Apple Watch — both stay in sync. Watch Setup Redesign The Apple Watch ruck setup is now a clean step-by-step flow: mode, terrain, pack weight, START.

This update brings a major expansion to your post-ruck stats.

New: Hazard Reporting — you can now report hazards during your ruck activity, including trail damage, vandalism, missing or damaged signage, and trail blockages. Every report earns you karma points for helping keep trails safe for the community. The Apple Watch experience has been completely revamped with a refreshed UX and UI, plus a dedicated heart rate zone screen so you can monitor your effort in real time during your ruck. We've also made UX and UI improvements throughout the app along with bug fixes for a smoother experience.
