What's New in Aera
3.2
September 29, 2026
Hello, autumn! While you were out running, walking and sleeping (hopefully in that order), I kept teaching Aera one thing: getting you out the door. Here is what 3.2 brings. PICK A DISTANCE, GET A LOOP Open Plan on the Map and pick Loops. The loops you already run come first. Ask for a new one and Aera draws up to three from where you stand: Familiar, New to you and Off-road, or Cycleways on a ride. Size them by distance or minutes, or press and hold the map to start somewhere else. Loops lean onto waymarked trails and signed cycle routes, keep off ground too hard for your sport, and show their climb. A Sights loop passes the best-known places, numbered, with photos, and a viewpoint can be timed for the sunset. EVERY TURN, SPOKEN Follow a route with directions read aloud, on the Lock Screen too, even with no signal. Take a wrong turn and Aera says so. YOUR ROUTES, YOURS Drag the small ring on any stretch to bend a route, pull a corner, or tap a point to turn around there. A loupe shows the ground under your thumb, with Undo and Redo close by. Hold a route to rename it or give it another activity. Walks you repeat become routes of their own. RUNS FROM YOUR WRIST Record on your Apple Watch alone, with auto-pause, and feel each turn of a route. Your watch now opens on today's plan, then sleep, body and fitness, one crown turn at a time, with your sleep score and stages. The Smart Stack shows last night in the morning and bedtime in the evening. Start today's plan with Siri, Control Center or the Action button on Apple Watch Ultra. Every route carries its own map with contour lines, even with no signal. TODAY'S SESSION, AND WHERE Fitness Today picks the place as well as the session, and the coach opens the Map on loops sized to it, the best fit first, with a saved route that fits. Part of Premium. ARE YOU GETTING FITTER? Progress reads cardio fitness, pace at the same effort, resting heart rate and heart rate recovery as Fitter, Holding or Easing. Set your own max, resting and threshold heart rate, and every zone follows. EVERY WORKOUT, IN ONE PICTURE One chart for the whole session: pace with every split, heart rate shaded by your own zones, every hill, and pauses clearly named. Splits and interval reps show cadence, and elevation shows your real altitude and the true summit. FLYOVER, AS A FILM Flyover is now a short film of your workout that pauses at your photos, your fastest split and the top of the climb. Free for the last seven days, older workouts with Premium. MAKE THE CARD YOURS Edit a share card the way you edit a widget: rewrite any word, pick any colour, and every size still fits. A new Effort look shows how hard you worked. EXPORT AND YOUR WHOLE HISTORY Pick who a file is for. With Premium, a clear report for your doctor, with only the readings a doctor can use. Your map, routes and personal bests reach back through every workout, and years of workouts from another app's export come into Apple Health from Settings, with no duplicates. SLEEP, IN ONE WORD Sleep opens on a word for the night, then your score and time asleep, weighed the way the published studies do. Naps count, and never merge into last night. FREE FOR EVERYONE Recap films for your weeks, months and year, every personal best, and twelve months of every chart. LIGHT, AND TEN LANGUAGES Aera follows your phone into light mode and speaks ten languages, each now read by a native editor, with words on widgets, the watch and charts kept whole. STEADIER Aera opens in about a quarter of a second and page tops draw at once. No freeze after a sync. Steep climbs keep the clock running, and a day your watch missed stays empty instead of getting a recovery score. Aera is made by one person, and a review on the App Store is the best way to help others find it. Questions or ideas? https://vargagergo-git.github.io/aera-site/. I read everything. Every change, the fixes too, is in Settings under What's new.
