Puffin' Points Earn points for the goals you hit: every day you hit a daily goal, every week you hit a weekly one, and at milestones on the way to bigger goals. Getting there first, winning a challenge, and working out on your birthday (add it in Edit Profile) all earn a bonus. Points come from challenges you do with others, arrive the next morning, and live at the top of Settings. Style Puffin' Spend your points in Settings › Style Puffin'. Try anything on for free, make your Puffin' any colour you like, and save your look as your profile picture. Your Puffin' now shows up on every workout you post. Taking a break Travelling or unwell? Turn on Rest in Settings to let your challenges know. Your workouts still count, missed days while you're away aren't held against you, and Puffin' won't nudge you until you're back. The Fall Collection Fourteen cosy new pieces, from a bobble beanie and a flannel shirt to hiking boots, striped socks, snowflake mittens and a belt bag. Challenges Every challenge now has its own feed and leaderboard, plus a day-by-day history of who hit the goal. And if your phone is set to the UK, distances now show in miles.

Fixed - Tapping a notification crashed Puffin' — it now opens the challenge it's about. - Workouts were recording much shorter than you actually went. Distance is measured properly now. (Past workouts keep the distance they were saved with.) - Puffin' could go blank after a dropped connection — it now says it couldn't reach the server instead of showing an empty feed, and gives up after seconds instead of minutes. - Launch could hang, and sometimes flash a "Can't reach Puffin'" error before opening fine anyway. It now opens on your last known profile right away. - Invite links opened a dead browser page instead of the app — they now open Puffin' directly. - The offline error screen claimed you could still go record a workout from it — it no longer does. - Settings no longer leaves a stale sync warning behind when a sync simply couldn't read Health because your phone was locked. New - Your row in a challenge's standings now says "Me." - Settings › My Activity can exclude workouts under 20 minutes from your yearly workout count. - Your own marker on the recording map is your Puffin', not a plain dot. - Comment input is tidier: send button inside the field, tap or swipe to dismiss keyboard.

Puffin' can tell you when something happens now. You'll get a notification when someone in your challenge finishes a workout, when anyone hits the goal, when a challenge wraps up, and when your day or week is nearly over and you're still short of the target. React with emojis or leave a comment straight from the notification, without opening the app. Challenges can also pick which workouts count. Set one up for cycling and a walk won't move the standings any more: choose any mix of activities, or leave it open to everything, which is how every existing challenge stays. Fixed: the app could sit on the opening screen indefinitely when it couldn't reach the server. It now tells you what happened and gives you a way to try again.

Groups and challenges are now the same thing. Start one, share the invite link or code, and reshape it anytime you're the admin — rename it, change the goal, push the dates, even while it's running. Challenges can run with no end date, and standings now score on your own calendar day wherever you are — a workout finished at 11pm always counts for that day, not wherever the clock happens to land in UTC. The Feed shows live standings right on each challenge's card, with completed goals marked, so you can see where you stand without leaving the scroll. Record a workout right in Puffin' — GPS route, pause and resume, and a live view on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. It saves straight to Apple Health, so Health stays the record of everything you've done. A few more things: a year-to-date scoreboard above your Activity tab, eight new mascots to pick for your profile, a handle you can set and change, clearer prompts about what joining or creating a challenge shares, and a smoother first-run Apple Health ask.
