Your trophy room is here. Take three photos of your race medal (front, back and side) and Backroute turns it into a 3D medal you can spin. Link it to the run you earned it on, and scroll down from your medal to see that run's map, pace, splits and stats. Your medal shows on your profile and spins beside your run in the Feed. Race day, even with no signal. Your race course is saved on your phone the moment you register. On race day, open the Record tab and tap Start race when you cross the start, even with no service at the start line. Voice messages from friends and family download ahead of time, so they still play at your mile. Race recaps. After a race, your profile gets a recap with your course, your stats, a mile-by-mile timeline and every cheer people sent while you ran. More ways to connect. Spectators get a notification when the runner replies to their message. Tag friends in comments with @mentions. Double-tap any post to like it. Calories from Apple Health. Runs imported from your watch now keep the calories your watch measured. Arena PRs, redrawn. The PRs map now shows just the routes, each in the color of whoever holds it. Fixes and polish. Better stability on Arena, smarter race pace estimates, more date formats for screenshot imports.

New in 1.2.0: a simpler step-by-step post-run flow, "route behind you" now shows on the feed + exports reliably, live runs keep sharing when your screen's off with an accurate viewer count, and you can like/reply to your live comments.

• Metal trails — wrap your route in Chrome, Gold, Rose Gold, Gunmetal, or Holographic. Your run, dripped out. • Smoother share videos — flyover clips now export crisp and fluid, ready to drop straight into Stories, Reels, and TikTok. • Streak reminders — a nudge before the day's out so you never lose your run streak. • Smarter treadmill runs — indoor runs are detected automatically, so your stats stay honest instead of guessing from GPS. • One-tap imports — send a GPX from Garmin and it lands in Backroute with the full map, no digging through files. • Route privacy — hide the basemap on any run while keeping your trail and stats front and center.

• Explore — swipe right from your feed into a new discovery page: a two-column grid of routes and runs, featured creators, and events, plus search to find activities, people, and places. • Bring your Garmin runs in — import a GPX file and Backroute adds the map to runs that showed up without one. • Every sport, real units — swimming now tracks in yards or meters (not miles), cycling and skiing show speed, and you can set your preferred units for distance, swimming, and weight. • Better strength training — add your sets right when you pick an exercise, with a bigger, easier-to-tap exercise picker. • Events — create and find local runs and meetups, with reminders so you never miss one.
