What's New in Pado

3.1

June 14, 2026

- New option in the settings to configure the "activity" mode for the location services of the iOS. * The "Standard" option is usually best for general use cases if there's no other more specific option available (the iOS should not pause location updates even when the user doesn't move for a while as long as this action is active). * The "Automotive" option is best if you drive vehicles on roads (the iOS might pause location updates when the vehicle doesn’t move for an extended period of time). * The "Fitness" option is good for workout activity (the iOS might pause location updates if the user doesn’t move a significant distance over a period of time) * The "Airborne" option is good for all activities related to flying (airplane, helicopter, paragliding, skydiving etc) * The "Not tied to roads" option is good for activities that are not bound to roads or trails, Indoor and Outdoor (the iOS might pause location updates if the user doesn’t move a significant distance over a period of time). - There are some new options available to make the trigger for actions more specific. * The "Heading" options allows you to define in which direction you need to move in order to trigger the action. So you could make sure the action only ztriggers when you leave the region to the north, but not to the south, for example. * The "Type of locomotion" allows you to define whether the action should only be triggered when driving a vehicle or walking. In both cases the check for these options is done when the main trigger is activated (for example leaving a region) by the iOS. The "Locomotion" option checks if there were steps counted in the last 30 seconds to determine whether you are walking or driving. - A new Homescreen Widget can show the speed and altitude graph of the latest track recording. Tap the graph to toggle between speed and altitude, in case only one of the graphs is visible (only the large widget will show both graohs at the same time) - There are many additionals icons available to annotate saved regions or visited regions - It's now also possible to only show the visited regions (from the Diary feature) without their connections to each other on the map. - Bugfix: On the iPad changing the size of the sidebar did no longer work. - Bugfix: The option "Auto-Stop at same location" was removed for the "significant location change" trigger of the actions because this option only makes sense for concrete locations, not random/undefined ones.

Pado

love the app. I use it for tracking milage and steps. can you plz add a "dog walk" icon to the pool of activity icons? I record all of my dogs walks. thank you. 🤘🏼

Top!

Vielen lieben Dank an den Entwickler für das letzte Update. Endlich stoppt das „Hintergrundgedudele“ (Audible/Podcasts/Music) bei Sprachansagen der App. Auch der Rest, inklusive Sync auf iPad, funktioniert hervorragend. Mein absolutes Musthave für Jogging und Bergwandern

Super App. Macht alles was man sich wünscht.

Super App. Macht alles was man sich wünscht.

Schade

Jahrelang habe ich Pado gern genutzt für Tracking und auf geladenen GPX-Tracks zu wandern. Die neue UI finde ich nicht mehr intuitiv: Ständig verirre ich mich in diesen „Klapp-Overlays“. Schade, denn die App ist eine der wenigen datenschutzfreundlichen.

Seit Jahren zuverlässig - hat mich nie im Stich gelassen!

Ich habe meine erste Aufzeichnung einer Wanderung mit Pado 2010 gemacht. Ich nutze nicht alle Möglichkeiten der app, das was ich benutze hat immer funktioniert und ich habe nie einen Track verloren. Auch die Bedienung und das Aussehen gefallen mir sehr gut.
Vielen Dank für dieses tolle Werkzeug.
MfG Frank
