NEW Activities now have their own tab. Browse the whole catalog, see which groups are doing something, and draw a surprise activity when you want a push rather than a choice. Expeditions per activity, so a shared goal has somewhere to live. Quests built from the activities you picked now appear in your quest list, under "From Your Activities". Previously the only way in was the activity's own page. Plan. Pick one cue and one response from a short menu and rehearse it once. That is the whole thing, and the app does not show it back to you afterwards. On This Day. Quests you finished and trail entries you wrote on this date in an earlier year. It renders nothing at all when there is nothing. Say One Thing, a new quest: four short exchanges with people already around you, spread across days. The steps talk about what you expect to happen, not about being brave. Trailmarks and nearby expeditions can be filtered by activity. Hosts can manage an event from the app now: see who is coming, edit it, cancel it, or delete it. CHANGED Journeys lead with your own record instead of your rank. A streak says "Your Longest Yet" and pays a bonus when it passes your previous best. Leaderboard rank is still there to look at, and is no longer the thing that earns points. The nature ring fills against your best week rather than a fixed weekly number. Badges are recognition, not payment. Unlocking one no longer awards impact points, so points come only from the things you actually did. Outdoor prompts are decided when they are sent rather than scheduled days ahead. They stay quiet while you are already out moving, and stop asking after two weeks with no minutes recorded. The notification bell shows a dot rather than a count. Events that have ended sink below the ones that have not. Price, renewal period and terms are shown in the purchase flow before you buy anything. FIXED Invite and sign-in links opened a browser instead of the app on Android 15. Password reset links were read as a sign-in return, which stored the wrong token and dropped you on the dashboard instead of the reset screen. The quest list could come back empty after switching tabs, and pull-to-refresh sometimes finished its spinner without having fetched anything. The active quest appeared a second time further down All Quests. Signing out left a cached copy of the previous account's identity behind. An unavailable plan could show a raw product identifier. An empty purchase catalog now explains itself instead of looking like a plan with no price. The app says so when it cannot reach the backend, rather than sitting on a blank screen. The first-launch tour no longer opens on top of the connection screen and hides its buttons. Screen-reader labels on the dashboard, the notification bell and the journey tiles. The scroll cue no longer sits on top of the content at the bottom of a page.

Trails, Trailmarks, and Shared Gardens Follow a trail, leave a Trailmark where you actually stood, and find what others left nearby. Shared Gardens give you and your friends a space to tend together. A new Explore strip on your dashboard puts all of it one tap away. Your time outside, counted Nature Minutes track outdoor time toward a weekly goal, drawing on Apple Health and the workouts your Apple Watch records — so walks and rides count without you doing anything. Memberships Pro, Writer, and Organizer memberships are now available, with a clear view of your plan, renewal date, and refund window in Settings. Cancel any time, restore a previous purchase, or redeem a code. A dashboard rebuilt around today Your current quest, your streak, and your feed now come first. When you've seen everything, we tell you plainly instead of spinning — and offer something to pick up next. A completely new look One coherent palette and type scale throughout, ambient scenes that shift with the time of day, and translucency that adapts to your device rather than slowing it down. Yours to adjust Text size, motion, translucency, and metric or imperial units — honoured across every screen, with full support for reduced motion and larger text. Also new • Apply for a verified publisher badge from Settings • Guided tours for the new features • Notifications that understand Trails, Trailmarks, and Gardens Fixes and refinements • Declining a permission no longer re-prompts you; the app explains what's unavailable and exactly how to turn it on • More accurate distance tracking for walking, running, and cycling • The correct app name now appears in every system prompt • Steadier launches and better recovery after an interrupted session
