Setup was a breeze, love that it connects to all my other health data. Super easy to see all my history and progress. Also, the branding is super cute! Check out the About Ruckus page - so cool that this app is built and managed by just one person (with an adorable family).

The latest version of Ruckus is 1.0.7, last updated on August 21, 2026. This indicates frequent updates are provided by the developer. ## Version history (last 3 releases) ### 1.0.7 — 2026-08-21 Fixes from your feedback, mostly around the Lock Screen. • The End button on the Lock Screen works. Tapping End now opens Ruckus and takes you straight to saving your ruck, instead of doing nothing. • A tidier Live Activity. The card no longer runs out of room: your elapsed time sits up top next to the logo, and the stats and buttons have space to breathe. • Discarding a ruck really discards it. Tapping Discard no longer counts that ruck toward your achievements or monthly challenges. • Smaller fixes to the invite screen and the Gear Locker prompt. ### 1.0.6 — 2026-08-18 This one is mostly about the number everyone asks about: calories. • **See exactly how we count calories.** New page in Settings breaking down the load-carriage model we use, with live charts drawn from your own body weight. It also says plainly where the estimate has limits, because every calorie figure in every fitness app is a prediction, not a measurement. • **More accurate calories on hills.** Steep descents were being overcounted, which inflated hilly rucks. Climbing, terrain and pack weight are unchanged. • **Apple Health now gets the right number.** We were sending your total burn to Health's Active Energy, which already counts your resting burn separately. Rucks were roughly a quarter too high in your Move ring. Fixed. • **Better estimates when GPS drops.** Losing signal under tree cover used to quietly cost you calories. Now a stretch you actually walked gets counted. • **Invite your crew.** Share an invite code so friends land connected to you from their first ruck. • **Gear Locker is out of beta** and on for everyone. Track your rucksack, plates and boots, and the miles on each. • Discarding a ruck no longer sends it to Strava. • Live Activity End button and Lock Screen layout fixes. • A pulsing marker so you can find yourself on the map at a glance. ### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-13 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
