Friend-a-thon

Your friends' cheers now arrive before you start — and the app tells you if one didn't. - The NYC Marathon and other big races are now in race search. Search "NYC" when you create a race and pick it, instead of typing in the distance and date yourself. - Before you start, the app checks your cheers and names any that haven't arrived: "2 cheers haven't downloaded: Mom (mile 1), Dad (mile 13)". Retry, start anyway, or cancel — instead of finding out at mile 1. - A cheer whose audio never finished downloading now retries on its own. It could previously sit in your library looking ready and play nothing. - A new Get ready step and a countdown at the start line, so you tap Start when you cross it. - If the app stops mid-race, you get a notification to tap and resume, instead of running the rest of the race in silence. - Empty miles now fill from the cheers recorded for that race, so a cheer from a different race can't turn up in this one. And you won't hear the same voice twice in a row while someone else is waiting. - Restoring after a reinstall no longer looks like a cheer that failed mid-race. - Fixed a bug where an expired sign-in session could block the Start button at the race line — even with every cheer already downloaded. Race morning: open the app on wifi before you leave and check every cheer is listed. Once the audio is on your phone it plays from the device, so a dead zone on the course can't interrupt it.
