## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.17.0 — 2026-10-11

Walking tours have a new look.

- A tour in progress shows its stops as a photo route. Each stop shows how far it is from you as you walk, with walking directions to the next stop.
- Full articles can now be read aloud, just like summaries.
- Pinch any summary or article to make the text bigger or smaller.
- City stamps now show the outline of their country.
- Profile is split into My Passport and Settings.
- Browse has photos for nearly every country and city.

### 3.16.0 — 2026-09-20

Summaries now come from your own language's Wikipedia.

- Norwegian and Filipino readers were being shown another language. They now get their own.
- Browse remembers whether you left it on the globe or on the list.
- French text keeps the space before high punctuation that French typography expects.

### 3.15.0 — 2026-08-30

Your Explorer Journey now runs through the whole app.

- Explore on different days to climb five tiers, from Copper Flyer to Platinum Flyer, earning a passport stamp for each one.
- Every tier you reach unlocks an accent colour that replaces the app's signature pink.
- Reaching a tier gives you a tier-branded passport card to share.
- At Silver Flyer a single live tour session unlocks: live distance, arrival alerts and Lock Screen check-offs.
- A new Passport widget keeps your journey progress on the Home Screen.
- The Passport tab is now Profile, and your subscription is managed there.
- Tours are grouped by type, so the list is easier to scan.

A quieter start:

- The first session no longer shows a banner ad.
- The notification ask waits until you have explored on more than one day.

Fixes:

- iCloud sync no longer creates duplicate locations or passport stamps.
- Open screens no longer break when iCloud removes the location they were showing.
- Roman numerals in place names keep their capitals in Turkish.
- Tier labels wrap instead of truncating at the largest text sizes.
- The Facebook SDK has been removed.

Browse has a new look.

- Browse now has a spinnable wireframe globe. Drag to spin it, with a gentle haptic tick as it turns.
- Continents, countries and cities now show cycling landmark photos of their own.
- Browse opens on the list by default, and switching to the globe lasts for the session only.

Fixes:

- Favorites stay in sync across tabs.
- Tapping a notification now shows that location first in the results.
- Map zoom gestures are no longer canceled mid-pinch.
- Subscribers no longer briefly see limits their subscription had already lifted.

### 3.13.0 — 2026-08-11
