- Readable in dark mode. The Speedtrack guide, the Track Designer help and the older settings and session screens drew dark text on dark backgrounds when the phone or the app was set to dark. Every screen now follows the theme you chose, in Settings or on the phone. - A banner when the server is down. While the server is unavailable the app says so at the top of the screen instead of failing quietly, and your rides upload by themselves when it is back. - Community badge: red means a friend request. A red dot on the Community tab is a request waiting for you; the accent colour means something new to read. The Feed and Spots pills show how many. - Pick your country from a list. Sign-up and Profile offer a searchable list of countries instead of a two-letter code field. - Clearer messages when there is no connection. Sign in, create account, password reset and the other account screens now say whether you are offline, the request timed out, or the server could not be reached. - Your track on the Live map. People watching you live see the track you selected under your puck, drawn with the Speedtrack picture, from the moment your ride goes live. - Laps editor: the Miami line is as wide as you set it. The Finetune slider's width is used for the start/finish line on the map and when laps are recomputed.

- Session details, rebuilt. Map, Laps, Apex250 and Data now share one map that keeps its heading and zoom when you switch tabs, with your four numbers in a slim strip along its top edge. Each tab explains itself the first time you open it, and again from the "?". - Edit your track on the ride itself. Choose a track, place it with one finger, twist it with two, fine-tune by the degree, fit the start/finish line to your ride, then save and lock. One editor replaces Track Tools and Edit Start/Finish. - Apex250 explained, with your ranking. The tab says what an Apex250 is, leads with your best run in gold and shows your place on the board. The full analysis sits behind "Show analysis". - A drive home no longer sets a record. At Stop the app checks the whole ride: a car trip on its own asks "keep or delete?", and a ride that ends with a drive keeps the riding part's top speed, average and distance. - Distance you can trust from the phone's GPS. Distance now comes from your measured speed instead of adding up positions, which counted GPS wobble as metres: rides on the phone's own GPS read 10 to 30 % too long. Receiver rides barely change. - The ride goes back to your receiver. After a fallback to the phone's GPS, a Dragy or RaceBox that delivers good fixes again for 20 seconds takes the ride back, instead of being ignored until the next ride. - A clearer start/finish on out-and-back tracks. One flow of chevrons out through the line, round the turn and back, fading in at the start and out at the finish, with plain white posts. The same line is drawn on the Record map, in the Track Designer and on the ride. - Speedtrack made simple. A short animation explains the lap the first time you load the Speedtrack, the buoys are numbered and coloured on the map, and the Track Designer is three steps: Place, Drop, Check. Lap 1 starts at your first crossing; the lead-in is your warm-up. - Slide to stop. A white knob on a red chequered track instead of a bar you had to find. Gear is gone from the Record screen, and "On screen" moved to Settings › General › Record. - A ride deleted from this phone only can be restored. As the dialog promised: your account keeps a copy, and the Sessions banner offers it back. - The Record screen holds still. The GPS row is always on the Ride setup card, with "Good · ±4 m" when all is well, so the card no longer jumps indoors. - Your battery on the Data chart. With a LiveLink pack, power, current, charge, voltage and temperatures draw as lines over the ride, and the Pack card shows the battery's nickname. - The email verification link opens the app. It says "Email verified", an expired link offers a new one, and creating an account with an email that already has one leads you to Sign in. - The bottom menu follows your theme. On iOS 26 the tab bar went dark over the map in the Light theme and light in the Dark theme. It now matches the setting on every tab. - Film a rider and Telemetry Video work again on iOS 26.4. The rider picker no longer reopens itself, the Live map keeps its "who is watching" sheet, and the Photos picker stays open long enough to choose a video.

- Stop & save no longer freezes the app. After a long ride the screen could hang for up to a minute while the ride was analysed. The work now runs in the background and the recap opens within seconds. - A ride without GPS no longer sets a record. If the phone never found you, or you never really moved, Stop now says so, shows where the GPS put you, and asks whether to keep the ride. A kept ride stays in Sessions but sets no record and adds no time on the water. - The ride recap always opens. After a ride stopped before you had opened Sessions, the recap did not appear. It now does. - The race cam shows on the Live map. A camera streaming over WebRTC now shows on air in the app, as it already did on the website. - Apple Watch rides reach the feed. A ride recorded live from the watch now joins its live session, so it is shared and shows in the feed like a phone ride. - Club TV leaves out blocked riders. Signed in, Club TV no longer shows a rider you have blocked or who has blocked you. - Your Tell people choices follow your account. The live-sharing switches are kept with your account, and a change that did not reach the server is sent again. - Season rankings show the real standings. The EFRL and SFT cards show the latest season with results, straight from the rankings, and you are marked YOU even when you race under another name. The placeholder standings earlier versions showed are gone. - Going private sticks. Turning live sharing off, or a ride stopping by itself, now reaches the server even on a weak connection, and nothing is sent after the ride ends. - Blocking holds everywhere. Someone you blocked, or who blocked you, no longer sees your name among the watchers, in a club's members table or in shaka notifications. A ride you deleted is never shared again. - A clearer update pop-up. It shows the three biggest changes of a new version and how many more there are.

- Touch lock while you ride. Five seconds after you start recording, the screen stops reacting to touches, so water in your pouch can no longer press buttons or switch screens. The Stop slider always works. Hold the lock for two seconds to use the screen; it locks again by itself. - A shaka you can feel. When someone watching sends you a shaka, your phone answers with a buzz that swells like a wave and a sound to match, and your Apple Watch taps a pattern of its own. - Shakas reach a locked phone at once. With the phone locked in its pouch, a shaka shows on the lock screen with its own sound within a couple of seconds. - See who is watching while you ride. The Record screen shows how many people are watching, who they are, and the name of whoever sent a shaka, in print you can read at arm's length. - Your ride remembers its audience. After a live ride, the recap and the ride show who watched and every shaka you got, and the ride's card in Sessions shows the count. - A shaka arrives as a shaka. Shakas sent from the live map or the website used to arrive as a clap. - Pick your rider name. If you never picked a name, the app asks you for one. A name another rider already uses can no longer be taken, and the app no longer replaces your name with "Rider". - Distance you can trust from the first second. A position the phone guesses before GPS has a fix is no longer recorded, and a sudden jump no longer counts as distance. - Long rides with a GPS receiver keep counting. With a Dragy or RaceBox, the distance on the Record screen and on the live map now counts the whole ride.

- A smoother, quicker live map. Riders glide across the map instead of jumping, positions arrive every 1 to 2.5 seconds, and the last minute of each path is drawn bold so the current lap stands out. Names and speeds sit in a label that stays readable on any background, and each rider card says how fresh the position is. - The whole ride on the live map. A rider's full path stays for the whole ride, with a Dragy or RaceBox as much as with the phone's GPS, and the cards show the ride's real distance, average and top speed. - See who is watching. Tap the eye on the live map: signed-in riders by first name, everyone else counted as anonymous. - Friends rides update every few seconds. A ride shared with friends could update only every 30 seconds if you had ever followed a rally plan. - Lap averages that count every second. A lap's average now includes the time you stood still, so a lap with a stop shows its real average, and a GPS spike can no longer lift an average above the top speed. - Diagnostics off means off. Turning off "Diagnostic and usage data" now stops sending at once. - Clearer speed on your videos. The second speed unit has a decimal, and the speed chart is larger with labels that no longer overlap. - A clearer Apple Watch icon. The watch app's icon is lit towards its edge, so it shows as a proper round icon on the watch.

- Lap average speed you can trust. When you select a lap, the AVG SPEED bubble now shows the same average as that lap's row in the list. On iPhone and Apple Watch GPS it could read as high as the lap's top speed. - Rides keep everything they record. Every point of a ride now stores all the detail the phone and your GPS receiver measured, from the very first minute: fix quality, satellite timing, phone motion and compass, and the Dragy Lite's climb and descent. A ride also starts at your first fresh GPS fix, not where the phone last saw you. - A truer Data chart. The speed line now reaches the top speed shown in MAX SPEED. Moments where the phone could not measure speed show as a gap instead of a dip below zero. Lap lines sit where each lap starts, and the lean line no longer jumps at small angles. - Delete account says why. If your account cannot be deleted yet, for example because you still own a club with members, the app says so in plain words. - Wind colours, explained right. The Wind setting now says red starts at about 21 knots, which is what the forecast shows. - RaceBox Micro battery. A Micro's supply is shown in volts, and a healthy supply no longer sets off the low-battery warning. - Tidier screens. "Auto (Best Available)" in Sensor sources and "AVG KM/H" on ride cards stay on one line.

- The live map, in the app. Community → Live is now the api.efoilracing.nl/live map: every rider on the water with trail and speed, the race course with gates and buoys, race positions and gaps, lap times, "DOWN" alerts and a ticker of what just happened. Tap a rider to follow them and send a shaka. Pick a race, a spot, riders near you or a club under View; replay the last 15 minutes; share the view as a link or QR code. When the race cam is on air, switch between Map, Split and Video. - Riders leave a wake. On the live map each rider trails a comet tail: its length is the speed, its bend the turn. - Race cam about one second behind the water, over WebRTC, with the old stream as the fallback. - Community, redesigned. A quiet header with three icons and a live strip on every tab: who is on the water and where, one tap into the live map. Feed, Spots, Club, Ranks and Events in the new layout, with bigger ride cards and rider photos. - Wind you can read. Each day on Spots shows the wind direction as an arrow, the wind coloured by Beaufort (green, yellow, red) and the temperature. Choose knots, km/h or Beaufort, and °C or °F, in Settings. - Friends, redesigned, with a Close button wherever it opens as a sheet. - Leaderboard replays draw the course the lap was judged on, not the nearest track on your phone. - A cleaner ride map. The speed labels along the trail are gone. - Pro follows your account. A Pro subscription is linked to your eFoil Racing account, so Pro granted to your account (or bought on another device) unlocks on this iPhone too. Settings → Pro shows your subscription. - Your rides stay yours. Signing in to a different account on the same iPhone asks whose rides these are before anything is uploaded or shown under the new account. - Delete your account in Settings, immediately and for good. - Fixes. Time on the water and your longest ride no longer count a ride that never got an end time. Speed Demon shows your best top speed, not your latest. A loop that could keep the app busy in the background when it could not read your sign-in while the phone was locked.

Speedtrack laps, judged fairly. Buoys are checked with the Quarter Gate: pass on the right side, in the right order, and the lap counts. Some earlier laps are re-judged, so a few times move. A track keeps the buoy positions it had when you rode it. Moving a buoy no longer rewrites history. Never lose a ride again. A one-time setup check for Location "Always", Precise Location and Low Power Mode, with a shortcut to Settings. It comes back whenever you press Record with any of them wrong. Stay signed in. A locked phone no longer logs you out overnight. Signed out? Sessions, Record and Live say so instead of showing errors. Live for everyone is real time. Friends and family follow you at api.efoilracing.nl/live with trails, speed and distance to go. One row per rider when phone and watch both share; rally prompts on the watch are opt-in. Community. A compact feed with short rides folded into one row, a reason shown when a ride has no map, profile photos that upload correctly again, the nearest spots and wind when nothing is close by. Film a rider. Classic, Race and Minimal overlays, speed in both units. Better GPS samples. Dragy and RaceBox samples carry the receiver's own fix time and epochs without a fix are dropped. Fixes. Negative average speed on very short rides, chart glitches, Coach lap times in minutes and seconds.

Apex250: back-to-back attempts are found properly now. The turn is judged over the run itself instead of a fixed time window, so a wider or slower turn-around still counts, and runs with a loop in a leg are no longer listed as attempts. Every rider's app now validates a segment exactly the same way. Friends: a badge tells you when someone asks to be your friend, Friends has its own entry in Settings, riders' photos show in your list, and a rider's profile now carries their club, your friends-since date and their totals. Rides: the cheers friends sent while you were live are kept on the ride afterwards, so you can see them when you get off the water. Spectators watching you live see your board data when you choose to share it. Accuracy: distances and lap boundaries are now measured on the same earth model the rest of the app uses, so lap distance is right to the metre. The lap counter you watch while riding now matches the laps you see afterwards. Also: the official International Speedtrack drops onto the part of the map you are looking at instead of far away, the speed reading in replay is legible again, and the Feed keeps its place when you switch tabs.

Spots: say when you are free ("Free this weekend?") and see which friends are too, a week strip that shows who is riding on which day, and plan a ride straight from a day. Feed: shakas instead of kudos, and the push tells the rider what impressed you (top speed, best lap, first ride at a spot). See who threw one and answer with one tap, browse rides by spot, satellite thumbnails on every card. Club: your club as a living feed of members' rides, a members' table with weekly tiers, your rank against the club, a Monday digest, a printable poster with the join QR, and a peek at any club in the table. Dealers request their club from the app. Rides: delete from this phone only or from phone and cloud. A ride that was live for friends is shared with friends automatically. Also: a new Record button, an update prompt when a newer version is in the App Store, the app asks once for notifications so friends' cheers reach you, Navigate to a live rider in Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze, and fixes for plans around daylight-saving changes, cancelled rides, rank ties and the ride-saved sheet.

Coach: every ride analysed on our server. Best lap against the lap that was possible, each section and turn against your best, what stands out, and written notes with a drill for next time. Part of Pro. Community: a Feed of rides from riders near you, Spots with planned rides, Clubs for eFoil dealers and riding groups (join with a code or QR, members' table, monthly challenges), and a dealer dashboard. Sessions: mark a lap valid or not valid by hand, a start/finish gate counts as a track, satellite thumbnails for every ride, and "Restore my rides" brings your history back on a new phone. Maps are Mapbox satellite everywhere, with speed colours. Directions to a spot open in Apple Maps or Google Maps. Pro lives in Settings: what it includes, one page per feature, subscribe or restore.

Pro is here. Subscribe to open the full session map, export rides as CSV or GPX, use satellite and custom map styles, and move an official track to your spot. Rally support accounts get the map, the van tools and the pit wall. If your account both rides and supports, switch between them in Profile. New Pro alerts: a weekly summary of your riding, challenge updates, and other riders reacting to your sessions. Live sharing to friends is now called Paired.
