- To get you started, the app suggests routes with a first milestone close to the start; the full catalogue is one tap away. - A finished route now shows how you compare with friends who walked it or are walking it. - If the app can't measure your steps, it reminds you once in the evening how to fix it.

- Send a milestone as a postcard with your own note. - Invite a friend when you start a route; installing from the invite connects you right away. - The app tells you when your phone (Samsung, Xiaomi) blocks background sync. - Allow background reading from Health Connect with one tap. - Phone step-counter steps from days the app wasn’t opened now land on the right days.

Sharing a milestone now carries a link: whoever gets your card opens that place's page on gettrekle.com with its photo and story. The rest of the route stays locked until they take it themselves. Every route has a public page with the map and its main stops. Sync on iPhone no longer gets stuck when Health stops answering; Settings → Measuring shows what it is waiting for. Background sync no longer relies on Health alone: the app asks for updates itself, so your progress grows even when you don't open it. The route map in the header now uses the full width of the screen.

Fix: signing in to an existing account from a new phone now goes through after you confirm the dialog about dropping the local route.

- News: see what's new in Trekle on the home screen and in the menu. Alerts can be switched off in Settings. - Routes now show which friends are walking them or have finished — and the friends list lets you join them on the same route with one tap. - A reached milestone closes with Back too, and the status bar no longer hides the close button. - Notifications stay quiet at night and don't interrupt while the app is open.

- Milestones speak up again: we fixed the alert that sometimes never arrived, and the Trekle icon now carries a dot until you've seen the new milestone. - Signing in with Google takes your name along — no more typing it in before you can connect with friends. You can change it in Settings. - An invite link that can't be opened now says so instead of doing nothing. - Settings scrolls on smaller screens.

New route detail: the map floats over the landscape, details ride on a card that slides over it as you scroll. Friends on the trail: the comparison is always visible and you can invite a friend right from it. The bottom menu no longer hides behind the system navigation. When routes fail to load, the app says so and reloads them as soon as you're back online. More accurate tracking: walked distance is counted per calendar day. Autumn look from 23 September.

• Fixed dark mode — panels and headings were unreadable. • Settings now show whether the app is receiving walking data, and how to fix it. • Added sign-out; deleting an account can be undone within 48 hours. • A friend's invite now shows who is inviting you right away.

• Sign in with Apple or Google to keep your progress safe and synced across devices. • Walk with friends: send an invite and compare how far along the same trail you each are — live or day-by-day. • Polish and fixes throughout.
