v1.2.33 — Apple Watch stability diagnostics

• Fixed the "three, two, one" countdown cutting out when starting a run on Apple Watch while YouTube or music is playing.
1.2.33 Sep 26
v1.2.32 — Start countdown audio fix

v1.2.30 — Your place shows up wherever you run
[Sign-up & region]
• Your country is set right at sign-up from your device language and time zone, so you join your country's ranking from day one.
• The onboarding region step has a new "Use my location" button. One location read registers your neighborhood (state and city outside Korea). Picking manually still works.
[Getting started]

1.2.30 Sep 12

v1.2.27 — The running screen is redrawn on both watch and phone
[iPhone running screen]

• Cards pop up at key moments: kilometer splits, laps, goal reached, pace off target, heart-rate zone, 30 minutes stopped.
• Long-press to finish, and tap Lap to mark a segment.
• Set today's goal as distance, time, or pacer in 0.5 km steps. Your last goal is remembered.
[Treadmill mode]
• Choose Outdoor or Treadmill when you start. On a treadmill, distance is estimated from your steps without GPS, and entering the treadmill's distance afterward makes the next run more accurate.
[Apple Watch]
• Time, distance, pace, and heart rate are all shown large. Distance is always cumulative.
• Set a goal with −/+ right on the watch, and swipe through splits, heart-rate zones, and pacer pages.

[First run]

• Fixed the end time being recorded as the save time, which also made other apps' workouts get skipped as duplicates.
• Fixed routes attaching to the wrong run on the same day and rewriting its distance.
• Runs that failed to save can now be recovered even after a day.

• Fixed last week's / last month's rank showing on Monday and 1st-of-month mornings.

v1.2.21 — Your share card now has a real map
[Share card]
• The top of the card is now a real map, so anyone can see where you ran.
• Text over the map is dark ink — readable without hiding the map underneath.
• A loading note appears while the map arrives, and sharing waits until it's ready.
[Voice cues]
• Your split pace is now called out as an animal. Fast is "cheetah fast", steady is "turtle steady — that's the strongest kind".

[Apple Watch]

• The goal screen fits on one page, and the Done button no longer covers what's above it.

• Winner pick notifications can be turned off in settings.
1.2.21 Aug 17
v1.2.20 — Three fixes found on an actual run
[Auto-pause]
• Fixed runs resuming on their own while you were still walking. It now waits until you're really running again.
• Resume is judged from the path you actually covered rather than a single GPS speed reading, so a noisy signal no longer triggers it.
[Voice cues]
• Fixed the first word of a voice cue being cut off while music or video was playing.
[Lock screen]
• Distance and time now show correctly on your iPhone lock screen during an Apple Watch run — the phone app was clearing the watch's run display.
1.2.20 Aug 13
v1.2.19 — Walk it off, then pick right back up
[Auto-pause]
• Pauses when you slow to a walk and resumes within 3–4 seconds once you run again — much faster than before.
• Fixed false pauses that interrupted runs at crossings and on hills.
• Even when your wrist isn't swinging (phone in a pocket, hands on a stroller), GPS speed detects that you're running again.
[Apple Watch]
• Cleaner heart rate display — one big number with a single-line label, readable at a glance.
• Time, distance, pace and heart rate now share the same layout, so the whole screen reads in one look.

[Apple Watch]
• Finish a run and it lands on your iPhone instantly — open the app and your record and map are right there.
• The start screen now has a pixel-animal parade: the turtle crawls, the rabbit hops past.
