What's New in Personal Bests

1.2

October 11, 2026

Personal Bests 1.2 is the biggest update yet. WHILE YOU WERE AWAY • Open the app after a day or more and get a recap of what you've done since your last visit: new medals, workouts, time and distance per sport, how it compares with the stretch before, active days, your longest workout, and near misses. SEE YOUR BESTS ON THE MAP • The workout map now highlights where your fastest segments happened, each in its own color. Tap a segment to show or hide it, or touch and hold to show only that one. • Choose what the map shows by default: your favorite segment, all segments, none, or no map at all. CLEAN UP BAD RECORDINGS • Forgot to stop your watch on the train? Personal Bests now spots segments that are implausibly fast for you and flags the workout, so it doesn't distort your rankings. • Crop a workout to the part you actually did. Segments are recalculated on what's left, and your Health data is never changed. • Remove GPS spikes: short out-and-back GPS glitches can be cut out with one tap. • Pick which distance data a workout uses, or recompute its segments. NEW WIDGETS • Recent Bests: a new widget showing your newest personal bests, newest first, for one sport or all of them. • The Rankings widget supports the new full-page size in iOS 27, showing up to 25 places. • Tap a widget to open that leaderboard in the app, or tap a row to jump straight to the workout. • Widget medals now show their rank number, so they're readable without color. RANKINGS • New option: rank indoor and outdoor separately, so treadmill runs, trainer rides and pool swims get their own leaderboards. • New segments are now automatically calculated for all your existing workouts. • Workouts without segment times now explain why (too short, no distance data, or no segments set up for that sport). iPAD & MAC • Workouts and their details now appear side by side. • On Mac: Previous/Next buttons (⌘← / ⌘→) to move between workouts, delete buttons for segments and timeframes, and clickable Rankings rows. MAKE IT YOURS • New Appearance settings: three app icons and three themes. • Haptic feedback for things like a finished rebuild or an iCloud backup, which you can turn off. iCLOUD • You can now turn iCloud sync off on your iPhone, which also deletes your data from iCloud. • Clearer sync status: Personal Bests now tells you whether iCloud is offline, full, or needs attention, and no longer shows "No backup yet" just because it couldn't reach iCloud. ALSO NEW • Workout summaries now work on every device, using Apple Intelligence where it's available. • Workout dates and times are shown in the time zone they were recorded in. • Segment distances accept either a decimal comma or a decimal point. • Better accessibility: medals show their rank number, plus improved VoiceOver labels and Dynamic Type support. • A clearer path if Health access hasn't been granted. Plus a faster launch and Rankings tab, more reliable new-best notifications (including when your phone is locked or your watch syncs late), more accurate distances for some swims and imported workouts, and many other fixes. Thanks for using Personal Bests!

Great app

I really like this app. It gives me exactly what I want. There’s only one thing I’d love to see. When I set it up, I chose km as the unit of measurement but I want to switch to miles. My phone settings are all miles but the app didn’t change and as far as I know there’s no way to switch in the app.

Response from developer

Hello! Thank you for pointing that one out. There's a big 1.2 update already under review, so please expect a setting for the display units to arrive in the update after that. Note that this will not convert existing segments, in other words a 5K segment won't be converted to a 3.1 mi segment.

Please add Imperial Units

Best mile times would be amazing!

Response from developer

Hello, you can add your own segments in meters, kilometers and miles already :)
