- Send a trip as a link. Your friend taps it, and the trip opens in WildNX and saves itself. The trip is locked on your phone before it leaves, so only people with the link can open it. The link works for 7 days. No WildNX? The link offers it on the App Store. You can still send a trip as a file. - Four new pins: Rabbit, Grouse, Detector and Trail Cam. - Hunt Forecast: each day in the 7-day forecast shows a short reason, like "Front coming", "Cold snap" or "Windy". - Hunt Forecast: the day's rating says why it is Prime, or what keeps it from Prime. - Hunt Forecast: the first dry hours after rain, near dawn or dusk, can now make a day Prime. - Hunt Forecast: wind is judged by the number you see, so a day showing 25 km/h is never Prime. - The best solunar times are marked BEST, so they don't mix with the day's Prime rating. - Weather on pins and trips: a new pin shows the weather for that hour, and a trip's card shows the weather at its start and end, with sunrise, sunset and the moon. - The trip card lists each stretch with no GPS signal, so a short trip distance makes sense. - Start recording with weak GPS and WildNX says so: "Waiting for satellites. Step outside for a moment." - OPEN A SHARED TRIP FILE in History now shows only trip files. - Bigger text on the pin and trip cards. - Plus small fixes.

- Faster, more reliable weather data - Hunt Forecast hooves now use each day's own pressure, wind and rain, so Prime days really stand out - Storm check now looks for thunder, heavy snow, freezing rain and strong wind - The map's weather button turns orange when a storm is forecast - Night weather icons after dark, and pressure shown in kPa - Private land: the download list folds by region, and your areas update by themselves on Wi-Fi - Sharing a trip is easier, with a new OPEN A TRIP FILE button - Small fixes and polish

New: private land maps, free. See private land on the map, even with no signal, starting with the East Kootenay. More of BC is on its way. - Walk onto private land and WildNX tells you, once a day: three buzzes and a card, or a notification when your phone is in your pocket. No alerts while you drive or in town. - Tap private land for its PID, its size and how to find the owner. - A new peek button shows your old trails for a moment. - Map Settings is now in the Tools tab too. - Plus small fixes.

Trails no longer stop when you switch to the Camera or another app (iOS 17 or later, with Location set to Always). New: send a trip to another WildNX hunter from History. To open one you get, press and hold the file, tap Share, then WildNX. A trip left recording overnight now starts a new trip in the morning. Plus small fixes.

What's new in 1.0.23 - Share a pin or a trip. Send a pin with its note, photo and map link, or a trip's summary or trail file, using your phone's Share menu. Photos are shared without their hidden location details. - New stalk mode with a wind check. It works even with Hide My Spots on. - Walking or driving. Trip summaries now tell time on foot from time in the truck. - New trail colours: solid yellow for driving, small yellow dots on foot, and teal for today. - Smoother trail corners when you zoom in. - Fixed black pieces showing on some map layers. - A new day starts a new trip. If WildNX has recorded nothing for 4 hours, like overnight, it saves the last trip and starts a new one. - The storm check now looks 2 days ahead. - Hunt Forecast: the pressure trend now reads the right hour, and your saved place is kept to about 1 km instead of your exact spot. - Credits added for weather data (Open-Meteo) and BC and Canada open government data.

Tap any trail on the map to see every trip that went there. Open a trip to see its START and END, and where you sat. A spark now runs along an opened trip to show which way you went: slow where you walked, faster where you drove. Tap the trail to see what time you were there. You can turn it off in Map Settings (Trail Spark). SHOW TRIP on a pin opens the trip you were on when you dropped it. Hide single pins or trips from the map with the new eye button in History. History now shows your steps for each trip, marks the trip you looked at last, and lets you delete a trip from its card. Long-press a trip in History to share its summary, or its trail as a GPX file for other map apps.

Ember Trails: see all your old trails on the map at once. Gold where you walked, ember where you drove, teal for today. Older seasons fade. Switch it in Map Settings. Open any trip from History to see it on its own, in its own colours. Walking vs driving: if you allow Motion & Fitness, WildNX uses your phone's step counts to tell walking from slow road hunting, and History shows your steps for each trip. Step counts stay on your phone. With Hide My Spots on, you can still open one chosen trip to show someone. The position line no longer shows a false "NO FIX" while you're parked with good GPS. The Save Track screen's buttons are always fully visible, and the map uses less memory with many trails.

Hide My Spots: one switch in Map settings hides your pins and saved trails from the map, handy when showing someone your screen. Your pins stay saved and SOS still finds your truck. Brighter neon teal live trail, and a slim white outline for saved tracks that stays visible over snow, rock and gravel. Pins and tracks now show the full date with the year. Unnamed tracks are named by their date, and pins with photos show a small thumbnail in the list. Tracks and pins are now kept separate for each account on a shared phone. Cleaner map: a slim bar for the track you're viewing, clearer times (min / h), and the MU highlight only appears when zoomed out. Also: a clearer location-sharing button for Hunting Buddies, wind advice that accounts for gusts, and better button spacing on smaller iPhones.

Better trail recording with your phone in your pocket. WildNX now keeps a steadier, more accurate trail while the app is in the background, including after you stop and start moving again.

Improved background tracking: your trail keeps recording with the phone in your pocket or locked, with far fewer gaps. New tracks also start from an accurate position, so the trail no longer begins with a stray line from somewhere you weren't. New Contacts & Inspection section on each management unit's regulations: regional office, Conservation Officer field offices and Compulsory Inspection locations, with tap-to-call numbers that work offline. Regulations: CWD testing notes now use the synopsis's own wording, and Bovine Tuberculosis testing is shown for MUs 3-12, 3-19 and 3-20. Added the wildlife health notice for the Peace region and the province-wide Mandatory Hunter Report reminder for elk, moose and caribou. Clearer wording throughout.

Added the new 2026-2028 rule against baiting or feeding ungulates within 200 m of a dwelling, school yard or playground in the Thompson and Okanagan regions. Added a missing snowmobile closure covering two Omineca management units, and a municipal bylaw notice for the Nanaimo River estuary. Nanoose Bay and Westcan Terminals now show correctly as no-shooting areas.

New settings: switch off the MU boundary alert if you hunt near several units, and choose what you ride so road-closure warnings only show for vehicles that apply to you. Road-closure warnings now name what's actually restricted — snowmobile, ATV, or motor vehicle — and say whether the closure is in force today. Fixed track time counting while the app was closed. Saved tracks now show how long you were actually out.

Saving a track now offers Save & keep recording, so you can split a track without stopping and starting again.

Pin details now show the new WildNX icons. Fixed photos on saved pins going blank after an app update. Hold the position banner on the compass to copy or share your coordinates.

New WildNX pin icons, plus Dead Tree, Firewood, Cave, Artifact and Trap pins. Add a photo from your library. Long tracks now record with far less battery and memory.

Recording ends when you end a track, and the GPS shuts off with it. Fixes the map freezing when you tap a pin. The track banner shows name, distance and time — tap it to rename.

Finer trail detail while walking, and the end of a track is now saved in full. Fixes a crash when opening a saved track, and GPS settings not applying after an app update.

Trail recording now keeps running with the screen off and the phone in your pocket. Fixed the background location gaps and improved battery use while recording.

Fixes a problem where the app could stop recording your trail when it was in the background, without telling you clearly. - The app now notices right away when you grant "Always" location permission, instead of needing a restart - Tapping the amber "APP OPEN ONLY" warning now takes you straight to the Location settings so you can fix it

Fixes: - Fixed a bug where creating an account would return you to the welcome screen instead of continuing to setup. Your account was created, but it looked like nothing happened. - Added Forgot Password. You can now reset your password with a code sent to your email. - If you try to sign up with an email that already has an account, the app now offers to sign you in instead of just showing an error.

Fixes and improvements: - Fixed a problem that could cause the app to freeze or be closed by iOS while the map was open. - The map now handles zooming out to the whole province smoothly. - Recording status is now reported more accurately, so the app tells you plainly when it is not recording rather than appearing to work. - Faster regulations screen.
