## What is BumpyRide Map?

BumpyRide is for cyclists who want to know which streets are
smooth and which aren't — and to flag what they run into along
the way.

During every ride, BumpyRide records vibration through your
phone's motion sensors and pairs each reading with your GPS
location. After the ride, see a colored route map showing exactly
where the road was smooth (green) and where it was rough (yellow
→ red → purple).

Ride enough and your personal Bump Map fills in — a permanent
heat map of every street you've ever ridden. Pick smoother routes
for your commute. Avoid the worst potholes on your favorite loop.

Features:
• Live recording with route, bumpiness, and weather overlay
• Elapsed time, current speed, and average speed while you ride
• Live wind readout — headwind, tailwind, or crosswind relative
  to the way you're heading
• Report close calls (vehicle / bike / pedestrian), blocked
  lanes, and your own custom event types
• Automatic hard-brake detection, taggable as safety, other, or
  a false trigger
• Reporting mode — collapse the map for oversized, no-look
  report buttons mid-ride
• Apple Watch app — start, pause, resume, stop, and log close
  calls from your wrist; heart rate added to your Health workout
• Personal heat map of every road you've ridden, plus an overlay
  of your coverage on the live map
• Achievements and scoring — bonus points for distance,
  exploration, smooth roads, and safety reporting, through the
  free bumpyride.me companion web app
• Ride editor — trim or split a saved ride
• Share a summary photo of any ride
• Adjustable color thresholds — tune what "rough" means to you
• Pocket mode — filters out pedaling cadence so your cranks
  don't register as bumpiness
• Apple Health integration — rides appear in Fitness and credit
  your activity rings
• iCloud Drive backup, and server-side restore after a reinstall
  or a new phone
• Optional sync with bumpyride.me for storage, scoring, and
  community heat maps

Privacy: rides are stored on your phone and, optionally, your
iCloud Drive. Sync to bumpyride.me is opt-in and uses a pairing
code — no email, no password on the device. Custom event types
you define stay private to your own account and never appear on
community maps.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0 — 2026-08-04

BumpyRide 2.0 is a big one — a year of riding folded into one
release.

REPORT WHAT YOU ENCOUNTER
• Log Event joins Log Close Call on the ride screen. Report a
  blocked lane, or define your own event types in Settings —
  your custom types stay private to your account.
• Close calls can be tagged Vehicle, Bike, or Pedestrian; hard
  brakes as Safety, Other, or False trigger. Edit any of them
  later from the saved ride.
• Reporting mode: press and hold the stats bar mid-ride to
  collapse the map and blow the report buttons up to full size
  for no-look tapping.

HEART RATE AND WEATHER
• Heart rate from your Apple Watch, added to the ride's Apple
  Health workout — turn on "Open watch app with this app."
• Live weather on the recording map: temperature, wind speed,
  and whether you're fighting a headwind, riding a tailwind, or
  taking it across.

ACHIEVEMENTS
• Earn bonus points for standout rides and lifetime milestones —
  distance, exploration, smooth roads, safety reporting. New
  Achievements screen, and a banner when you earn one.
• Your score now lives behind the trophy on the Saved tab, with
  lifetime distance and ride time.

SEE MORE ON THE MAP
• A purple overlay of every cell you've ridden, with an opacity
  slider.
• Heading-up or north-up, recenter buttons, and route coloring
  that no longer hides isolated rough spots.
• Set your preferred map defaults in Settings.

EDIT AND SHARE RIDES
• A proper full-screen ride editor: trim a ride down or split
  one ride into two, with a live map preview.
• Share your ride summary photo to Messages, Mail, or social —
  saving to Photos is still one tap.

FASTER AND SMOOTHER
• Much faster launch, and rides no longer bog the app down as
  your library grows.
• Sync keeps running after you lock the screen or leave the app.
• Choose when the screen stays awake, and a higher-contrast
  interface for riding in direct sun.

Plus a long list of fixes: hard-brake detection through tunnels,
fewer false brake reports from potholes and GPS glitches, the
Apple Health heart-rate bug, and the categorization popup that
could get stuck.

### 1.6 — 2026-07-21

• Apple Watch app — control your ride from the wrist.  Start,
  pause, resume, and stop & save a ride; log close calls with one
  tap; check your elapsed time, distance, and bumpiness on three
  swipeable pages.  The iPhone keeps doing the recording so you
  don't need to touch your phone mid-ride.
• "Close call" markers and brake pins now appear on the recording
  map in real time (carried over from v1.5).
• Fixed a crash when opening a saved ride with very few GPS points
  (could occur after an indoor or accidental start-and-immediately-
  stop).

### 1.5 — 2026-07-07

• Apple Health integration — your rides now appear in the Fitness
  app as cycling workouts and count toward your activity rings.
  Auto-export new rides, manually add older ones, or use the new
  Settings backfill button to sync your full ride history in one
  tap.
• Server-side restore — re-download every ride from bumpyride.me
  after reinstalling the app or moving to a new phone. Find it
  under Settings → Web Account → "Restore my rides."
• Per-ride scores now appear in the ride playback view alongside
  the route and stats.
• Hard-brake pins and close-call diamonds now appear on the live
  recording map as they happen during a ride — you no longer have
  to wait until after the ride to see them.

### 1.4 — 2026-06-22

• Earn points for every ride — the bumpyride.me companion web app
  scores each synced ride based on distance, smoothness, and
  consistency. See your total score grow in the web app.
• Live recording display now shows elapsed time, current GPS
  speed, and average ride speed alongside the route map.
• Close-call button is now purple to match the close-call marker
  style across the app.
• Smoother live display on long rides — capped trailing polyline
  and O(1) running stats keep the UI responsive even after hours
  of recording.

### 1.3 — 2026-06-09

• Improved background tracking: long rides with the phone in your pocket now stay continuously recorded.
• Refined hard-brake detection — more sensitive to firm braking, not just emergency stops.
• Smoother live seismograph display, especially on long rides.
• When a ride had a GPS gap mid-route, the saved-ride map now shows a visual break instead of a misleading straight line.
• New Account section in Settings → Web Account: clear your synced data or delete your account, with options to keep your contributions to the public maps anonymized.
• Closing a saved ride now returns you to the Saved tab, not the Ride tab.
• New launch screen.
