What's new in 1.0.15: • Health Access in Settings — See your Apple Health connection status at a glance, re-check permissions with one tap, and follow a simple step-by-step guide to turn access back on. • Always connected — MotivoSteps now verifies Health permissions every time you open the app, so an iOS or watchOS update won't silently stop your step tracking. • Apple Watch — The watch app now re-checks Health access whenever you return to it, explains how to turn access back on, and is fully translated into Spanish. • Full history reminder — If you shared only recent Health data, MotivoSteps now lets you know your totals, streaks, and badges may be incomplete, and shows how to allow full history. • Widgets stay fresh — Your Home Screen widgets refresh automatically as soon as Health access is restored, and now work on all versions of iOS 26. • Much faster — Your streak, badges, history, and hourly charts now load almost instantly, using less battery. • Refreshed social links — Updated X and TikTok icons in "Try Our Other Apps." • Bug fixes and performance improvements. Enjoying MotivoSteps? A quick rating or review helps a lot. Keep stepping!

This update focuses on accuracy, stability, and polish. No new screens, just a better app all around. MORE ACCURATE WEEKLY AND MONTHLY STEP COUNTS The Year Progress chart (Pro) previously estimated your weekly and monthly steps by extrapolating from your yearly total. If you had a particularly active or slow stretch, those numbers could be noticeably off. Version 1.0.14 fetches your actual step data directly from HealthKit for both the current week and current month, so the stats you see in the chart now reflect what really happened, not a mathematical approximation. SMOOTHER WIDGET PERFORMANCE The step count widgets (both iPhone home screen and Apple Watch complications) previously refreshed every 15 minutes. This created unnecessary background activity. Widgets now refresh every hour, which reduces background wake-ups and is easier on battery without any meaningful loss in usefulness. ACHIEVEMENT BADGES ARE MORE RELIABLE A subtle issue could cause badge celebrations to queue incorrectly under rare conditions when multiple achievements unlocked close together. The underlying data store now runs fully on the main thread, which ensures every celebration shows up in the right order. STABILITY AND UNDER-THE-HOOD FIXES If the Apple Watch ever stored a corrupted or out-of-range step goal after a sync error, it would use that bad value instead of falling back to the default. The app now validates the stored goal and resets to 10,000 if something looks wrong. The "Try Our Other Apps" screen now shows a proper app icon placeholder while each icon loads, instead of a plain gray box. As always, thank you for using MotivoSteps. If you are enjoying the app, a rating or review on the App Store means a lot and helps us keep building.

Redesigned Navigation We've completely reimagined how you move through MotivoSteps. The old tab bar has been replaced with a clean, streamlined single-screen design. Your Today view is now front and center — always visible the moment you open the app. A gear icon in the top-left corner gives you quick access to Settings, while a new hamburger menu in the top-right lets you jump to History and Achievements. This change gives your step data more room to breathe and puts the focus where it belongs: on your progress today. Rock-Solid Scrolling Experience You may have noticed that in previous versions, the Today screen could sometimes be dragged horizontally — the entire view, including the navigation title, would shift left and right when you swiped. This was caused by a subtle layout issue where complex card views could expand beyond the screen width inside the scroll container. We've completely eliminated this behavior. The Today view now scrolls vertically only, exactly as intended. No more accidental horizontal bouncing or rubber-banding. Just smooth, predictable scrolling through your daily stats. Landscape Mode: Charts That Fill Your Screen Pro users, this one's for you. The Hourly Steps and Heart Rate charts now intelligently adapt to landscape orientation. Previously, when you rotated your device, the chart content stayed narrow and didn't take advantage of the extra horizontal space. Now, the charts dynamically measure the available width and expand to fill the entire screen. In portrait, they still scroll horizontally when you have a full 24 hours of data. In landscape, they stretch to use every pixel. It's the best of both worlds — compact when space is tight, expansive when you've got room. Smoother Year in Progress The Year in Progress chart has been rebuilt under the hood for better performance and stability. The progress bars now use a more efficient rendering technique that eliminates layout conflicts with the scroll container. The visual result is the same beautiful gradient bars showing your weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly progress — but the underlying implementation is lighter and more reliable. This was one of the key changes that eliminated the horizontal rubber-banding issue. Liquid Glass Design All cards throughout the app now use the Liquid Glass design language introduced in iOS 26. The translucent, depth-aware glass effect gives every card a modern, premium feel that adapts to your wallpaper and surrounding content. From the Progress Ring to the Stat Cards, from the Pro Charts to the Motivation Quotes — every surface has been updated to embrace this new visual standard. Pro Features Reminder If you haven't unlocked Pro yet, here's what you're missing: hourly step breakdowns with bar charts, real-time heart rate tracking from your Apple Watch, synchronized chart scrolling, year-in-progress tracking across four time periods (week, month, quarter, year), and smart step projections based on your current pace. Tap the "Unlock Pro" button on the Today screen to get started. Bug Fixes & Performance • Fixed an issue where the interactive back-swipe gesture could trigger unexpectedly on the root screen • Improved layout stability for all card views inside the main scroll container • Optimized chart width calculations to prevent unnecessary redraws during orientation changes • Resolved edge cases where chart content could overflow card boundaries when scroll lock was disabled
