Spots go from 78 to 236 across 20 countries - Brazil alone brings 45. You can search by country now, in whatever language you think in: "Japan", "Brasil", "日本", "한국" all work. • Spanish, Portuguese and Indonesian join the lineup - 11 languages in all • The curated wave list starts learning your standard: from the waves you have kept and rejected, it works out roughly how many you keep in a session. The more you mark, the closer it sits to your own feel • Star a wave: tap the star next to the wave number and you are telling us that one was real. Starred waves are never tucked away automatically, and they feed your personal standard directly • Share cards save straight to your photo library, and typing a caption no longer stutters • Report a spot's coordinates from the top of the spot page - with this many spots, some will be off, and the people who surf there know best • Fixed a Vietnamese label that was being cut off on the watch Keep Surfing ### 1.0.5 — 2026-08-19 First, a thank-you to every surfer out there. Every session you record and every misdetection you flag makes SurfBound sharper. Much of this release comes straight from your reports. • Felt wave count: right after a session, log "how many waves it felt like" on your watch — or any time on your phone. That one number pulls your curated wave count closer to how it really felt (it will never drop below what you remember), no wave-by-wave labeling needed • Weather alerts in the water (subscription): weather at sea deserves extra awareness. Mid-session, your watch taps you when heavier rain is forecast soon or pressure keeps falling; in Taiwan, official CWA severe-thunderstorm bulletins for your area arrive instantly • Freer share cards: pick your stats, add a caption, track color themes (subscription) • Important fixes: accidental ultra-short recordings are tucked away, vehicle misdetections no longer affect XP or water time, and the "back on shore?" reminder is more reliable • Crown gestures are now opt-in (enable in Settings) so they never get in your way Keep Surfing ### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-13 Custom spots + an important fix! - New: custom spots — surfing somewhere we don't list? Name it on the session page and older sessions backfill automatically - Important fix: if Location permission is off on your watch, SurfBound now says so clearly with the path to enable it — previously sessions silently recorded zero waves - The watch session screen is now three pages, with heart rate and calories on page one — one wrist-raise shows it all - Spot list search (local or English names) - Taiwan's built-in spots expanded to 36 - Layout fixes across all languages; GPS-glitch speed spikes corrected automatically Keep surfing! ### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-11 Custom spots + a big spot expansion! - New: custom spots - surfing somewhere we don't list? Name it on the session page: older sessions backfill automatically, your spot journey starts counting, and your watch picks it up too - Taiwan's built-in spots expanded to 36, covering every coast - The spot page is open to everyone: tap the home map to confirm a location on a draggable satellite map - Spot list search (local or English names) - All maps default to satellite view, switchable in Settings - More accurate speed stats: GPS-glitch spikes corrected automatically - Supports Apple Watch Series 4 and later Keep surfing! ### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-11 - iPhone now has tabs: Sessions, Progress, Boards, Settings - no more scrolling to the bottom for everything - Redesigned watch home screen: bigger start button, and the ring sweep now lights up the engraved text as it fills - Faster wave tidying: enter how many waves it felt like and the filter pre-tunes itself; new 'direction off the main wave line' condition clears paddle-backs in one tap - Honest paddling vs riding time: chase sprints no longer count as riding ## More apps by OysterX, Inc. - [OysterX: Travel Tracker & Log](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/oysterx-travel-tracker-and-log/id1121044396) All apps by OysterX, Inc.: https://appshunter.io/developer/1276131621 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
