Run Clubs Near Me v1.5.7.18 — App Review Notes Support & Account Deletion - Support URL is live and includes a contact form: https://www.runclubsnearmeapp.com/support - Users can request account deletion from Profile → Settings → Delete account. Deletion initiates a 30-day grace period during which the user can restore the account by signing back in. After 30 days the account and associated data are permanently removed. Authentication - The app supports Email/Password, Google Sign-In, and Sign in with Apple. - Sign in with Apple uses the native Apple ID flow on iOS and the web-based Apple flow on other platforms. We generate and verify a SHA-256 nonce on both paths. - Apple/email account merging is handled server-side so users retain all clubs, check-ins, messages, and friends regardless of which provider they originally used. Check-ins & Location - Session check-in opens 60 minutes before the scheduled start and closes 30 minutes after the session ends. - Check-in requires the user to be within 1 km of the session location (GPS geofencing) OR to enter the rotating keyword displayed by the host. - "Going / Maybe / Missing" RSVP status is separate from attendance; only a verified check-in counts toward attendance and leaderboard points. Content & Moderation - User-generated content (club posts, comments, direct messages, profile photos, club logos, partner applications) can be reported by users. Club admins and super-admins can remove content and suspend access. - Profile and logo uploads are screened before public display.

Version 1.5.6.18 (new) New: 30-Second App Tour Video A vertical promo video following the full journey: create a running club → join a session (Going/Maybe/Missing) → QR + rotating keyword + GPS check-in → kudos, leaderboard and badges → race card share. Embedded in the Help and How-it-works pages. New: Quick Guide Onboarding Modal After login, first-time dashboard visitors see a "Want a quick tour?" welcome modal playing the tour video. One tap opens the full How-it-works guide, or dismiss with "Maybe later". Reopenable anytime from a new Quick guide card on the home screen. New: Exit Button on the Dashboard Users (including super-admins) can sign out directly from the home tab with a Stay/Exit confirmation. Partner & Merch Management Improvements Super-admins can now edit any partner listing after approval (description, offer, socials, logo, redemption codes). Partners can edit and resend their own application if information is wrong or missing; rejected applications can be resubmitted. Instagram / Social Link Fixes Fixed malformed Instagram URLs causing browser errors (NS_ERROR_DOM_COOP_FAILED) — handles, full URLs and pasted links are now normalized automatically. External links (Instagram, websites) now open reliably with proper new-tab handling. Fixes & Stability Fixed missing preferred_language profile column that caused errors on every sign-in and broke account merges. Fixed the "Worldwide" badge readability in dark mode on landing and sign-in pages. Version 1.5.5.18 New Modern Landing Page Complete redesign of the public homepage with an athletic, single-viewport hero. Uses the runner hero image, oversized headline, worldwide city ticker, feature bento grid, social links, and animated marquee. Updated Sign-In / Auth Page Restyled to match the new landing page design. Dark runner-hero background with glass card, worldwide indicator, and clearer CTAs. Light / Dark Theme Toggle Users can now choose between dark and light themes on the landing and auth pages. Dark mode is the default. Theme choice persists per session. Improved Readability Stronger contrast for descriptions and supporting text in light mode. Fixed the Worldwide badge so it remains readable in both dark and light themes. Version 1.5.4.18 Google Sign-In Added New "Continue with Google" button placed below "Continue with Apple". Google OAuth and email/password accounts can coexist. Accounts with matching emails can be linked/merged. Reduced Sign-In Alert Emails Fixed excessive "New sign-in" security alert emails. Alerts are now throttled to once per account/method/device every 30 days. Account Linking Improvements Linking existing accounts now works across Apple, Google, and email/password. Merge preserves clubs, friends, messages, check-ins, RSVPs, race records, Strava data, and roles. Version 1.5.3.18 Apple / Email Account Merge Fixed Sign in with Apple now reliably links to an existing email/password account. Atomic merge preserves all user data across related tables. Location-Aware Language Suggestion App still starts in English by default. Suggests the user's local language based on device region or GPS. One-tap switch or keep English. Clearer Exit Option Prominent Exit button with confirmation dialog for intentional sign-out. Clears cache and signs out cleanly. Improved Partner Offers Approved partners display discount/redeem codes. Step-by-step claim instructions included. Expanded Ambassador Program Apply to become a Club Ambassador (approved by club crew) or App Ambassador (approved by platform admins). New ambassador-related badges added. Bug Fixes & Performance Improvements Various stability and performance enhancements.
