Chat is faster: messages appear the moment you tap send, you can keep sending while one is on its way, and a message that fails shows Retry instead of disappearing.

1.0.23 Oct 1
What's new in OutPace 1.0.22:
• Weekly Relay, rebuilt: every team chases Bronze, Silver and Gold goals, teams carry over to next week automatically, and you can swipe between your teams right on Home. Share your team's result when the week ends.
• Pacer Points now has its own tile on your profile, plus a Pacer Points sort on the Pacers leaderboard.
• Pacer requests are easier: get notified when someone asks to pace you, approve right from Home, and cancel a request you sent.
• Joining from an invite link now takes you straight into the challenge, even if you're brand new.
• Sleep is more accurate: whole nights now count on the day you wake up, and WHOOP sleep is supported.

• Clearer names for devices syncing through Apple Health.

1.0.22 Sep 26
What's new in OutPace 1.0.21:

• Refreshed partner logos and buttons across Connected Accounts, including a new Garmin look.
• Clearer notes on who can see your synced activities, including Strava and WHOOP.

• Stability fixes and improvements.
1.0.21 Sep 26
New Pacers leaderboards: compare Sleep, Heart Rate Zone Points, Tier Points, and Elevation with the people you follow. Elevation now syncs from your Apple Health workouts. Workouts from more apps now sync reliably. Challenges with a daily time cap now show the cap on the challenge page. If Google Health ever needs you to sign in again, you'll see a clear Reconnect prompt. Plus smoother hi-fives, a clearer leave challenge flow, and bug fixes.
1.0.20 Sep 24
Faster and safer.
- Profile, Pacers and Home load in far fewer round trips.

- Deleting an activity from a challenge feed works again.
- Rowing is a first-class activity type across every source.
- Security hardening: sign-in links, widget access and stored sessions are all tighter.
- Bug fixes and polish.
1.0.19 Sep 20
Rowing is a sport of its own now. Create a rowing challenge, combine it with running, walking, cycling or swimming for a distance or time challenge, log a row by hand, filter the Pacers leaderboard to rowing, and see a Row bar on your profile graph. Rows from Garmin, Strava, Apple Health, Health Connect, Polar, Oura, WHOOP and Fitbit all count.
Hi-fives are easier to keep up with. Several hi-fives on the same activity arrive as one notification, tapping it opens that activity, and tapping the hi-five count on your own activity shows you who sent them. People accepting the same challenge are grouped the same way.
Also in this update:
• Garmin heart-rate zones are back. If your Garmin runs were scoring as all Zone 1, they will not any more.
• Challenge activity feeds show only the people who have accepted, and distance and time challenges no longer list daily step totals as activities.
• An activity you log by hand into a challenge now shows on your profile and can be hi-fived like any other.
• The challenge header fits on one line at every text size, and hi-fives look the same on every screen.
• When a challenge caps what counts, the message tells you the real limit.
1.0.18 Sep 18
Mix your sports, and see the math
Challenges can now count more than one sport. Pick running, walking, cycling and swimming together for a distance or time challenge, and cap how many minutes count per day so a long weekend ride does not run away with the week.
Heart-rate zone challenges show their work. Every activity has a zone strip, and a small plus opens the breakdown: minutes in each zone, what they were worth, and the total. "Which devices count?" takes you to the list of sources that deliver zones.
Also in this update:
• The app is faster. Home, your Profile tab, chats and challenge pages all make far fewer trips to the server.
• Set your date of birth from a calendar instead of typing it.
• A redesigned co-workout picker, a "+ Co-workout" button on your activities, and "Requested" shown right beside the source.
• Tap the OutPace logo in any tab to jump back Home.
• The Home relay card tells you when a relay you have not joined is coming up.
• "Challenge 1v1" on every profile, and a red check beside anyone who has logged activity.
• Fixed the All Public filters on the Pacers tab, and the timezone note when creating a challenge now says how days and deadlines really work.
1.0.17 Sep 16
See how you stack up against everyone
The Pacers tab has a new All Public leaderboard: every public OutPace member with activity this week, this month, this year or all time, ranked. You can leave it any time in Settings, General.
The leaderboard itself learned some new tricks. Pick the metric you care about: distance, time, steps, calories or number of activities. Then narrow it to running, walking, cycling or swimming. Your row sits at your real rank, wherever that is.
Also in this update:
• Your profile now has a QR code, in Settings, General. Anyone can point their camera at it to open your profile, even if they do not have OutPace yet.
• The Pacers leaderboard now counts Oura, WHOOP and Polar activity, so some numbers went up.
• Challenges that have not started yet say so. "Starts in 5 days" instead of counting down to the end.
• When you accept a recurring challenge, staying in for the next round is on by default. One tap turns it off.
• Chat headers show the other person's photo again.
• Fixed buttons that squeezed or wrapped at larger text sizes.
1.0.16 Sep 10
Your everyday walking counts
If you get your steps in without recording a workout, those miles were not always finding their way onto your profile. Now they do, for a lot more people. And if your phone is sending us steps but not distance, OutPace will tell you, and show you exactly which Health setting to turn on.
Also in this update:
• Tap any bar on your activity graph to see what that day actually was, broken out into recorded activity and everyday walking, with the date.
• Workouts you did together can name everyone who was there, not just the first person to confirm.
• Your own profile always opens for you, even when it is set to private.
• Trophy Case and Badges now show you when there is more to scroll.
• Finished challenges no longer offer a way to join them.
• A steadier chat box that stays out of the way of the message you are reading.
• Your weekly Pacers leaderboard now follows your own clock, so it no longer resets early on a Sunday evening.
Plus fixes and polish throughout. See you out there!
1.0.15 Sep 8
Chat, settings and everyday walking.

things are where you expect them.
• Other devices is easier to find on the Connect Accounts screen, and
now shows which of your devices we already see.
• Everyday walking now counts toward Weekly Relays scored by miles.
• The Pacers tab loads faster.
• Various fixes and polish.
1.0.14 Sep 5
Faster out of the gate
We rebuilt how OutPace starts up. The app opens noticeably quicker,
feeds respond faster, and everything settles into place sooner,
especially on Android.
Also in this update:
• Activity graphs on friend profiles. Visit any public profile to see
their weekly, monthly, and yearly activity, with a new picker for
miles, runs, walks, rides, swims, steps, minutes, elevation, and
sleep.
• The Weekly Relay now runs on your clock. Your week counts Monday
through Sunday in your own timezone, the countdown matches your
local time, and results go final only after every member's sync
deadline passes.
• Under the hood: sturdier sign in on cold starts, and smarter timing
for background work so it never competes with what you see first.
Plus plenty of fixes and polish. See you out there!
1.0.13 Sep 1
Your activity, at a glance
The new profile graph shows your miles, runs, walks, rides, swims, steps,
minutes, elevation and sleep by week, month or year. Everyday walking
shows up as its own band, so you can see all movement, not just workouts.
Also in this update:
• Invite links now open straight in the app when you have OutPace
installed. No more detours through the browser.
• A guided tour introduces the app after you sign up. You can replay it
anytime from Settings.
• Much better support for larger text sizes across the whole app.
• Notifications got more reliable, and confirming a co workout from its
notification is now one tap.
• Sharing from iMessage is cleaner: one tappable card with a live
leaderboard.
Plus dozens of fixes and polish. See you out there!
1.0.12 Aug 29
• Heart rate zones now use your real age. We ask for your date of birth during setup, and you can change it any time from your profile.
• Don't want to share it yet? Your zones still work — they're just clearly marked as estimated, so you always know what you're looking at.
• Shared challenge links now show their preview card right away in Messages and WhatsApp.
• Clearer consent when connecting Strava.

1.0.10 Aug 23

• Shared challenge links now unfurl as a card in Messages.
• Fixed: the Invite Pacers list wouldn't scroll.
• Fixed: a pacer's follower count now updates the moment you follow.
• Fixed: step totals on the Pacers leaderboard could count a workout twice.
1.0.9 Aug 17
Daily steps stay on the right day when the clocks change.
If your phone sends steps but no workouts, OutPace now shows how to turn workouts on so your minutes count.
Signed back in after deleting your account? You can restore it within 30 days.
Run a club? Request your club page right in the app.
Co-workout now shows only for activities from the last 72 hours, and says why.
Fixed a crash when opening OutPace from a challenge or club link.
