What's New in YouBike 3.14 She opened Settings to find the coffee link. It wasn't there last week — now it sat near the top, next to Remove Ads and the support links. Someone had tidied things up. She tapped Buy Me a Coffee, sent a small thanks, and went back to the map. The station count read "3 bikes." Clear and plain. It always should have said that.

What's New in YouBike 3.13 She'd been using the app for months — the directions, the counts, the route suggestions. Then the banner appeared one morning at the bottom of the screen. Small, but there. A new option sat quietly in Settings: Remove Ads. One tap, one purchase, gone. No subscription. No renewal. Just gone. The banner never came back.

What's New in YouBike 3.11 He'd just switched cities for work and opened the app for the first time in weeks. A new welcome screen slid up — swipe through cards, each one a feature he hadn't noticed before. The last card said Route Planning. He swiped past it and landed on the map. The filter icon in the corner caught his eye. One tap: bikes. Another: parking. A third: electric. The pins changed color and the numbers changed meaning. No dock badge when he was already looking at docks. He pinched to zoom on his iPad and the station detail filled the screen properly now. Back on his phone, the widget showed distances in miles — he'd changed it in settings without thinking. A small thing, but the station names on the list no longer ran off the edge. They stopped mid-word with an ellipsis, right where they should.

What's New in YouBike 3.10 She opened the Watch app and headed to bookmarks. Three sections, clean and clear: current city up top, other cities below, the unavailable ones quietly last. She knew exactly where to look. The station detail screen had changed. Instead of plain numbers, three colored cards in a row — bikes, electric, docks. The same cards she knew from her phone. At the city picker, a row at the top read "Detect My City." She tapped it. A spinner. Then a checkmark. She hadn't needed to scroll at all. The map pins held steady while she panned and zoomed. Nothing flickered. Nothing rebuilt itself. And in the corner of settings, a small link. She sent it to her friend before she'd even thought about it.

What's New in YouBike 3.9 She glanced at the Watch map while waiting for the light. A row of station circles. She tapped one. A detail sheet rose up — bikes, docks, direction. She hadn't realized the pins were tappable. Planning a route, she swiped the route map sideways. Small circles appeared along the path — other stations, within reach. A toggle near the corner let her hide them. She turned them off, then back on. The station pin had grown. Two rows now: standard bikes up top, electric below. Equal size. Easy to read. She knew the count before she stopped pedaling. The widget on her Lock Screen had an orange number. Eight minutes old. She unlocked it knowing she needed a refresh. On the phone, the map opened already centered. A compass arrow sat in the corner. She tapped it. The map swung around to face her direction. Inside the filter popover, a red Reset sat at the bottom. She'd set both filters. She cleared both in one tap. The bookmark icon was blue now. On the Watch. On the phone. In the widget. Same color. Every time. Tested across iOS and watchOS, the data fresh, every pin exactly where it should be.

What's New in YouBike 3.8 She pulled up the travel plan and the map just fit — both stations visible, the route drawn between them, no pinching required. The panel behind the controls went translucent. Street names bled through it. It felt like holding a piece of glass over the city. Each station node in the journey now wears a compass arrow. Small. Aimed at the next stop. You know which way to walk before you start. Look Around got its own space below the map. Availability badges moved beside the travel time, where your eye already lands after reading the numbers. Then she tapped the compass icon in the station list. A grid appeared — eight directions, each in its own color. North was cool blue. Southwest was a warm amber. She picked Northeast. The list re-sorted immediately. The direction picker now lives alongside the availability filter in a single popover. One tap to get there. One tap to set both. On the Watch, the selected direction glows as a colored capsule in the toolbar — visible at a wrist raise, no scrolling required. She noticed the data was old. A small clock appeared beside the station name, showing how many minutes had passed. Orange. Hard to miss. The city button in the toolbar had always lagged a beat behind. Now it catches up the moment auto-detect finds something. Every pin, every badge, every card pulls its green from the same source now. Tested on a Tuesday afternoon, planning a ride through three districts without once losing the map.

What's New in YouBike 3.7 Tap to pick an address from your Contacts. The app reads it, finds the nearest station, plans the whole trip. Your current neighborhood shows at the top of the station list — not coordinates, just the street name. Reverse-geocoded from your location. Map pins got smarter. Each one numbered so you know which is 1, 2, 3. The badge shows available docking spots, not total capacity. Red when full. Orange for one or two. Teal when plenty. Electric bike count moved inside the pin. Travel planning feels more solid now. Buttons moved to where your thumb naturally rests. Pick from bookmarks or contacts with one tap. The map follows along as you move. Built between two subway stops. Tested with a contact address in Xinyi District.

What's New in YouBike 3.6 I was typing addresses on my Watch. Auto-complete wasn't there. Now it is. Start typing "Taipei 101" — suggestions appear as you type, sorted by distance. 250 meters. 1.2 kilometers. The closest places rise to the top. iPhone and Watch share the same logic now. Same suggestions, same Taiwan filter, same experience on both screens. Built on a rainy afternoon. Tested inside Taipei 101.

What's New in YouBike 3.5 I used to just find bikes. Now I plan the whole trip. Type where you're going — or pick a bookmarked station. The app finds the best pickup spot near you, calculates the route, and shows where to drop off at the other end. It draws the whole journey on a full-screen map: walking paths in blue, the bike ride in orange, stations marked with how many bikes or spaces they have. Tap a station from your bookmarks — even from another city. The app loads its data quietly from cache and places it on the map. When the route can't be found, it doesn't just fail. It shows you nearby stations anyway, so you can still make a choice. Under the hood: The compass stops spinning when you put your phone down. The city toolbar reacts faster. Widgets fit better on small screens. Chinese localization is now complete. Built between coffee and closing time. Tested on the walk to the station.

What's New in YouBike 3.4 Standing on the Bannan Line, one hand on the pole. No earphones. Just the train and my iPhone. I glanced at my Watch — it said NE. My phone said 東北. Same station. Same moment. Two answers. That was the idea. So I made them talk to each other. Now your Watch and your iPhone agree on which way to go — in whatever language you choose, even 後天八卦 if that's how you read the world. Settings follow you across devices now, quietly, through iCloud. Station data loads faster and holds on longer when the signal fades. The app itself runs on Swift 6 — steadier, underneath everything. The map on your Watch knows where the station is. Your bookmarks remember stations from other cities. The widget tells you where you are before you even ask. Written between Zhongxiao Fuxing and Zhongxiao Dunhua. Tested at the station exit.
