Footnotes is ready for iPhone Duo. Open the phone and your journey map and Field Journal share the inner display, with the map actions in a vertical bar along the edge, the way the Duo lays things out. Close it and the cover display keeps the phone layout you know. We also fixed the story distances. The Storybook and story pages used to quote a rough figure from the story notes, which could disagree wildly with the route once you set out. Overview distances now come from the waypoints themselves, so what you see before you start is what you'll walk. Plus a few smaller fixes: • The Coming of Grendel is back on the Zealand coast, after an inland detour had it routing 300 miles over Danish bridges. If you're mid-quest there, your route refreshes and your walked distance is kept. • Distances round properly instead of cutting off, so a 9.9-mile story no longer reads as 9.

Footnotes now runs on iPad, with a layout built for the bigger screen: your journey map sits beside the Field Journal, and the Storybook and Quest History spread out into roomy grids. Resize the window on iPad or turn your device to landscape and everything adapts. Map controls and Done buttons now live in the toolbar, where you'd expect them.

The legendary "Long Way Home" is now a full five-part voyage with 10 new stops — and sea routes finally travel over water instead of cutting across land. We also gave the waypoints view a fresh Field Journal look that now runs throughout the app, with a cleaner timeline and distance to your next stop. Plus a big round of fixes: • Long journeys no longer get stuck at 99% • Quests now properly reach 100% at the finish • Your watch and iPhone agree on your current waypoint • More reliable arrival notifications • Fixed a couple of crashes and polished things up for the latest iOS

# What's New in 1.7 Thanks for walking with us! This update is all about making your journeys smoother and more reliable. - **Progress that actually finishes.** Fixed the bugs where long journeys would stall out around 99% or get stuck at 100% without completing. Your final waypoint is now always reachable. - **Distance starts right away.** New quests now track your steps from the very first one, instead of waiting for the first update. - **More dependable notifications.** Waypoint arrivals now reliably show up whether the app is open, in your pocket, or resting in the background. - **Apple Watch in sync.** Your watch and phone now agree on which waypoint you're heading to next. - **A few crash fixes** around launching the app and abandoning a quest — both should feel rock solid now. - **Polish** for the starting waypoint, permissions alerts, and iOS 26 compatibility. Happy wandering!

Big changes! 1. Journeys now get themes, with unique icons and color schemes that match the vibe of the narratives 2. Added a new achievement for completing any category 3. Got rid of the sync button, since I found I never had reason to press it! 4. Made the narrative text just always black or white, to improve readability. Let me know if any of this doesn't work for you!

Cleaned up the rendering of the journey route -- now, the part of the route you've already walked is solid and brighter, and the unwalked portion is dashed and dimmer.

Improved the in-Journey share card to be more informative. Fixed two bugs with the transition into a new Journey. Thanks for updating!

Cool in-app splash (and share!) cards when you start a Journey, pass one or more Waypoints, or complete a Journey!

Fixes and improvements, especially around handling the end of a journey and the start of a new one. Yay!

Fixed a bug that caused repeated notifications of waypoints you had already passed. Sorry about that! Also, I added a celebration screen when you finish a quest!
