This is a bug fix version which addresses a few issues in the last version. Most notably the inability to set up a connection with Strava is now fixed. If you are having problems with the action button on the Ultra then please reboot the watch because that often fixes any issues with it. Note: this version requires watchOS 9.2, which means that it will no longer run on the old series 3 watches which were released back in 2017. Sorry about that. It was a necessary restriction in order to work around an issue in recent versions of watchOS.

- New "Possibly Resumed” alert to warn if you move whilst paused - New “Current Elevation Pace (VAM)” and “Climb Average Elevation Pace" metrics - New “Time in Current Zone” metrics (for heart rate, pace and power) - Option of a black background for metrics on the watch instead of dark grey rectangles - More "custom" screen profiles available - Ability to cancel stalled file transfers - Now using appropriate haptics for left and right turns - New advanced options for interaction with audio apps - Structural modernisation of the code for compatibility with future versions of iOS - Forward compatibility with major changes in the next version of the app Plus the usual minor improvements and bug fixes, including a workaround for an issue with the action button that appeared in watchOS 26.5.

A few tweaks for iOS 26 and the new Ultra 3, series 11 and SE 3 watches. Plus the usual minor improvements and bug fixes

This version supports watchOS 26 and iOS 26, as well as having the usual bug fixes and minor improvements. Note: If the app does not start on the watch with watchOS 26, then please reboot the watch and it should be fine after that.

This version includes many new features and as ever they are free to existing users, just as they have been for over 8 years. When you buy WorkOutDoors you pay once for the lifetime of the app, and yet you still get free updates like this with loads of powerful new features. - Turn by Turn Navigation (if navigation waypoints in route file) - Bend Detection (if no navigation waypoints in file) - Waypoint Creation and Navigation - Climb and Descent detection - Load routes from TCX and FIT files as well as GPX files - Compare performance against a previous workout by using it as a target - Hundreds of new screen layouts possible by merging adjacent fields - Ability to search for metrics by name (from over 800 now available) - New heart /pace / power metrics with zone-coloured backgrounds - many, many other changes

Support for the latest Apple technology.

This is a minor version to address an issue with map transfer since iOS 17.5. Maps are successfully being transferred to the watch but iOS no longer informs the iPhone app of the transfer, so it looks like they are not on the watch even though they are. This version addresses that issue. There are also several other bug fixes and a few minor improvements: - map POIs can now be made larger - you can now zoom further into maps. - you can now choose a single colour complication even for multi-coloured watch faces - alert messages can be configured to stay on the screen for longer Note that a major version is on the way with lots of new features. This version is mainly to workaround the issues with iOS 17.5

- supports the new Smart Stack in watchOS 10 - saves new watchOS 10 cycling sensor metrics to Apple's Health system - fixes missing time when using latest version of watchOS - the usual bug fixes and small improvements

- New activity: Table Tennis - It's now possible to change road text size as well as POI size on maps - Bug fixes Note: This version does not work on the Apple Watch Series 1 and 2 models.

Bug fixes.

This version of the app supports the Always on Display, which means that the metrics are visible even when your wrist is lowered (if your watch supports it).   Supporting the always on display required a large part of the app to be rewritten using Apple's latest coding language. This was a lot of work and took a long time, so apologies for the delay between releases. This version also includes a tip jar to allow you to show appreciation for the app and to support future development. Tips are completely optional and will not unlock any extra features. The one-off price for the app still lasts forever and all future updates are included, just as they always have been. Other improvements include: - Precision start screen where you can wait for a heart rate before starting a workout - Redesigned summary screens on the watch with larger text and more graphs - Action button can display the Start screen, and then press again to start a workout - Automatic Water Lock when starting a workout is now available for all activities - Auto-Pause is now available for all outdoor activities
