What's New in Shift by GSI
1.0.11
August 3, 2026
More reliable trip tracking • Fixed a problem that could quietly stop automatic tracking until the app was force-quit. If your trips stopped showing up, this update brings them back. • Ferry is now a first-class trip mode. • Better trip labels, and more accurate comfort scoring on protected bike infrastructure. Events and prizes • Walk/Ride Day now appears on your home screen on the day itself. • Prize details only show for people who are eligible to win them. • Fixed a lockout that could stop you starting a new Roam. Also in this update • Partner and event links now open properly. • Referral codes can be pasted in, with clearer messages when one doesn't work. Thanks for making active transportation part of your day.
