What's New This update is for the details that make a ride feel real. • Terrain smoothing refined: gradient transitions now feel even more like asphalt under your tires. Less chasing gears, more riding. • Rename your routes: fat-fingered the name mid-sweat? No need to start over. Edit it without losing your history or PRs. • Customizable HUD tiles: pick what matters to you. Reorder the top-row stats, or swap in the new calories burned tile. • Background audio keep-alive: step away to answer a text or email without losing your trainer connection. (iOS still pauses the app, but we fight a little harder to stay connected.)

Smoother route creation and a faster save flow, so getting from "Finish Route" to "Start Ride" takes fewer taps. Refined climb physics with adaptive gradient smoothing, so steep switchbacks feel real without spiking resistance. Plus minor bug fixes and performance improvements.

Version 2.5--Smoother rides, sharper terrain • Refined elevation rendering for cleaner climbs and descents • Sharper upcoming-gradient previews with better lookahead • Adaptive gradient smoothing tuned per route flatness • Improved ride physics: more responsive feel on rolling terrain • Stability and performance improvements across the board Thanks for riding. Keep the feedback coming.

Tighter UI on smaller iPhones--buttons and headers no longer overflow on narrow screens • Refined onboarding with more comfortable spacing and a clearer first-ride path • AI Coach reliability improvements and smarter caching • Performance and stability fixes across ride simulation and route creation

What's New in Version 2.3 Smoother Ride Simulation Map tracking is now significantly smoother. We've eliminated the map jumping ahead, getting stuck in loops, or bouncing back and forth — ride position now follows your effort accurately from start to finish. Improved Camera Modes POV and Chase camera transitions are smoother and less disorienting. Each mode now shows a brief label when you switch, and Chase mode handles switchbacks and steep terrain much better. Better GPX Import Support Imported GPX routes now preserve your original path — trail and off-road sections are no longer rerouted onto nearby streets. Simpler Pause Menu You can now just quit a ride without being forced to export a .FIT file. The pause menu has been streamlined: Resume, Start Over, End Ride, or End & Export .FIT. Apple Watch HR Guidance If no heart rate monitors are found, you'll now see a helpful tip explaining that Apple Watch doesn't broadcast HR over standard Bluetooth, with suggestions for bridge apps (Heart Cast, ECHO) that can relay your data.

Version 1.1.0 — Bug Fixes and Improvements What's New: Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where the heart rate monitor required restarting the app between routes. HR monitors now automatically reconnect when starting a new ride. Fixed a bug where speed units (km/h) could spontaneously switch to miles/h after updating. Your preferred units now load correctly every time. Fixed the map expand button so you can now enlarge the map during a ride in portrait mode. Tap again to collapse it back. Added "Connecting..." feedback when pairing a heart rate monitor or cadence sensor, so you know the app is working while it connects. Added "Starting Ride..." indicator when beginning a ride, so you know the trainer is receiving the gradient. Cadence sensors now automatically reconnect when switching between routes without needing to re-pair. Fixed a false "reconnect failed" error that could appear after fully closing and reopening the app. The app now detects a fresh launch and takes you straight to the normal connection flow. Improved Bluetooth connection stability when connecting multiple sensors (trainer, cadence, heart rate) at the same time. Fixed onboarding flow and updated app tagline. Fixed paywall back button navigation.

What's New in This Version Landscape Mode for Rides Turn your phone sideways for an optimized ride view — the map takes up the left side of the screen while your live stats sit on the right, so you can see your entire route and performance data at a glance without scrolling. Heart Rate Zone Tracking Connect any standard Bluetooth heart rate strap to see your live heart rate during rides. Your time is tracked across five color-coded zones (Recovery through VO2 Max) based on your configurable max heart rate in Settings.

• New Route Type setting — Choose between "Road Cycling" (all roads) or "Bike Path Friendly" in settings (prefers dedicated cycling paths) • Perfect for cyclists in the Netherlands and Europe with dedicated bike infrastructure • Screen now stays awake during active rides — no more interruptions from auto-lock or dimming • Normal sleep behavior resumes automatically when your ride ends
