Your own records, a sharper widget, and an easier way to bring people in. • Open Calories or Distance and you'll now see your own all-time bests — the most you've ever burned in a day, the furthest you've ever walked, and the day each happened. Walkman reads five years of Apple Health to find them, so records from long before you installed it still count. • New: Burger Math, Marathon Math and a lap counter, all worked out from your actual week. • Not on Walkman yet? Send them a download link straight from the add screen, with your username attached so they can add you the moment they arrive. • The home-screen widget reads your live step count, so it stays current even when your phone is locked. • Opening Today, Week or Month in your bubble now says exactly what each one covers. "Week" runs from Monday, not the last seven days.

Introducing Bubble — the people you walk with. • BUBBLE: add someone by their username and you'll each see the other's steps for today, this week and this month. Tap a row and it opens up into the full ranking. • You both have to add each other. Until you do, nothing about your walking is shared — a one-way add shows nothing at all. • USERNAMES: you now have a handle, so people can find you. Change it any time. • Your steps on your home screen: setup now shows you the Walkman widget and how to add it. • Bubble replaces the old Summary tab.

Your step count now lives on your home screen. • Add the Walkman widget in two sizes — today's steps, in full Walkman type. • The widget keeps up through the day, and matches the number you last saw in the app. • No more black flash when the app opens. • The leaderboard headline now shows your own total for the period, not the average of everyone else's.

Walkman now asks for less and does more on its own. • Your leaderboard updates in the background — friends' steps appear through the day, even if they haven't opened the app. • Location is gone from the app entirely. Walkman never asks where you are; leaderboards rank steps, nothing else. • Fewer Health toggles: just steps, distance and energy — exactly what the app shows. • If Walkman can't read your steps, it now opens Apple Health for you and walks you through fixing it. • Placement ribbons on every board, and no more doubled first-place badge.

Walkman now tells you when it can't read your steps, instead of quietly showing zero — with a direct route to fix it in Settings. • Fixed a bug where a sync could erase step history that had already been recorded. • Your leaderboard numbers survive even if Health access drops out. • Choose whether you appear in the public leaderboards, separately from syncing your activity. • The Account toggles now say exactly what they do. • Clearer placements: "1st of 5" in a small field, "Top 5%" in a big one.

Leaderboards now show the whole world, not just your city — so you can see every walker you're up against. • Placements are clearer: you'll see "1st of 5" in a small field and "Top 5%" in a big one, instead of percentages that made winning look like a loss. • Redesigned placement cards — your rank now sits on the ribbon. • Renaming yourself in Settings updates your name everywhere on the leaderboard, including past days. • New setting: stay in the leaderboard or hide from it, separately from syncing your activity. The Account toggles now say exactly what they do. • Fixed deleted accounts lingering on the leaderboard. • Faster, fresher leaderboard data, plus crash reporting so we can find and fix problems sooner.
