What's New in Summit
1.0.2
October 7, 2026
Friends: you now get clear feedback when you add a friend. If you aren't signed in, the app says so and offers Sign in with Apple, instead of failing silently. Join a friend's trail: tap a friend in Base Camp and join the trail they're on. They get a notification that you joined. The button hides when you're already on the same trail. Base Camp: friend names are shorter, without their ID tag. Tap a friend to see the full name. Each friend also shows the date their steps were last updated. Climb tab: friend cards now show today's flights and steps. They no longer show a confusing "0 steps" for a friend who has barely climbed. Mountain: your own row in the crew list now reads "You are here" instead of "0 steps ahead". Acorns: the prestige acorns now fill in correctly. Onboarding: the name screen no longer gets cut off at larger text sizes. Notifications: push notifications now register reliably.
