What's New in Lockstep Tracker
1.0.3
October 6, 2026
• Fixed: Lockstep could end up unable to read Apple Health and unable to ask for it again, with the steps dial stuck at zero and "Last sync failed: Authorization not determined" under it. It now asks Apple Health each time rather than trusting what it remembered, and Home carries a button that puts the Health permission sheet back up. • The steps chart says which average it is showing: a daily average on W and M, a weekly average on 6M, and a monthly average on Y. Tapping a bar names its total the same way, and the best bar in the range is now the best day, week, or month. • People who have not walked yet are no longer given a place. First thing in the morning, a board showed everybody tied in the same position; a row on zero now shows no rank at all, and a shared rank above zero still means a real tie. • Fixed: a profile photo taken with the phone held upright could upload a quarter turn over, be squashed out of shape, and be cropped off what it was pointing at. Photos are now saved the way up they were taken. A photo already uploaded this way stays as it is until it is set again. • Crowns: finish first, second, or third in a competition, and you earn Crowns - more for a longer one. Your total and your wins are on your profile, and the total sits beside your name on leaderboards and the Friends board. A draft shows what each place pays before it starts. • Changed your mind about a draft? Leave it, and rejoin with the same link if you want back in. Whoever created a competition can now rename it at any time. • New accounts get a short setup after choosing a username: a photo, Apple Health, a daily goal, and notifications, each one skippable. Profile → Take the tour shows it again. • Your daily goal can start from what you already walk: Lockstep suggests one from the last 30 days in Apple Health. • Raising your goal can shorten your streak, since every day in it is measured against the new number. Lockstep now tells you by how much before you save. • Take a profile photo with the camera, as well as choosing one from your library. • A 4 pm reminder when your streak is at risk and today is still short of your goal. It waits for a fresh sync of your steps first. Turn it off under Notifications → Streak at risk. • When a competition ends, everyone still competing in it hears so, with where they stand for now, while the last day's steps can still come in. • Created a draft? You'll hear who joins it and who leaves, gathered into one notification instead of one for each person. • The notification that a competition has started now says when counting began - including steps already walked since its first day.
