Winter update is here: • Full iOS 26 support with Apple’s new Liquid Glass look • Improved track coloring • Heart rate is now shown in the bottom graph alongside altitude • More visible position arrow in session details, now showing direction of travel • Always-on dark mode option • And an option to hide the photo stack

Some users reported issues when starting a new recording on Apple Watch. This release includes additional safeguards to help prevent potential problems at the start of a session. Additionally, a bug that prevented calories from being saved to Apple’s Health app has been fixed.

This release is all about colors! - Speed coloring of tracks now transitions from red to yellow to green, with high speeds marked in cyan. - Heart rate track coloring now ranges from purple for low effort to red for maximum effort. - This version also fixes a bug that prevented the app from pausing a recording when pressing both buttons simultaneously on the Apple Watch Ultra. - Finally, a rare crash that could occur in the iPhone app has been fixed.

This release improves the formatting of distances in the app to better suit various countries. Additionally, the issue with the summary title occasionally lingering on the Apple Watch has been resolved, ensuring it no longer appears on the start page after dismissing the summary view

Exciting stuff in this release: - The details view has been refreshed with a larger map and a sleek new design, making the app more intuitive and visually appealing. - We’ve optimized the photo viewer to eliminate delays when loading many photos, ensuring a smoother and faster experience. - Replay mode has been enhanced: the details data has been reorganized, and current distance tracking has been added for better insights. - The old hint system has been upgraded to the native iOS hints framework, offering a smoother and more intuitive experience for first-time users.

In this version, the formatting for speed and distance has been adjusted to display fewer decimals. Additionally, the distance is no longer measured in centimeters or inches at the start.

You asked for a better way to visualize your speed and heart rate on the track, and we’ve delivered! In this update, your track now changes colors to show either your heart rate or speed. Red means you’re pushing hard with a high heart rate or doing big carving turns, while yellow shows a slower pace or a relaxed walk if you're tracking speed. Plus, the data on your Apple Watch is now easier to read. And when you start a new recording, you’ll get a countdown to gear up before you begin!

In this version we've improved the visualisation to make it clearer whether the app is in a paused state or not. The data presented on the Apple Watch should also be easier to read. Water lock will now more reliably lock the watch on later versions of WatchOS and for those of you already upgraded to iOS 18 there's also a dark and tinted version of the app icon.

The time interval for images associated with a track is now increased one hour before and one hour after the track recording. This will allow you to view images taken just before and after you started the recording. Also a bug that in some rare cases caused the weather from the previous recording to accidentally be reused in the next has been fixed.

This version plugs a memory leak in the iPhone app.

In this version a bug that on certain iPhone devices would stop recording tracks in the middle of a recording has been fixed.

In this version we've made it more difficult to accidentally forget to resume a recording after taking a paus. Ending a recording on the Apple Watch is also more resilient to bad network connectivity when we try to download the current weather. Finally, speed is now shown correctly on recordings exported to Strava.

The release of iOS 17.4 unfortunately uncovered a bug in Mtn Tracks that prevents recording on iPhone. This version should fix that.

In this version the bug that could cause a background crash on the iPhone when ending a recording on the Watch has been fixed. Another serious bug that got fixed was the failure to save track data on the Watch triggered by quickly dismissing the summary view. Less serious but still nice improvements are that location data is now denoisified using some math wizardry making the altitude graph and tracks look smoother than ever. As a result altitude data such as ascent rate, total vertical gain and loss are also more correct now. We've also made the app more energy efficient when recording tracks on iPhone. Finally the maps have got some nice animations added to them. We hope you all enjoy these updates and let us know if you find any bugs or issues in the app!

In this version we fixed some minor bugs. On Apple Watch the current altitude and title for each screen got lost in the latest update and is now back again. On iPhone the graph now shows the altitude in feet for those using imperial units.

Great stuff in this version! - Heart Rate Zone colouring on the Apple Watch. The entire app changes color according to which zone you're currently in. (Premium feature) - Setting to automatically lock screen of the Apple Watch when starting a new recording. No more accidental pauses or endings caused by your sweaty jacket! - Warning view informing you about the risk of interference between your iPhone, Apple Watch and avalanche transceiver. Simply put your devices in airplane mode and you'll be fine!

In this version we fixed an issue where initial privacy settings for the location services would fail on Apple Watch.

The big change in this version is how the app acquires the initial altitude and location. Should be a much better user experience now. We also make sure to reset any errors on the Apple Watch app when restarting location services. The two mountain images used to visualise the vertical gain on Apple Watch are now the exact same color (you would never notice this but once I saw it I couldn't unsee it). Formatting of speed in the track details page is now based on m/s instead of km/h (thank you Johny for finding this embarrassing bug). Also in the same view, better wording on the label for average vertical pace. Lastly plugged a memory leak and the link to the privacy policy now points to the new website.
