What's New in Wainwright Companion

1.3.4

August 30, 2026

FOR ALL - The summit celebration now bursts the moment you tap Bag It & repeat visits get their own moment - Summits bagged during a walk now appear in their own section at the top of the summary, in the order you climbed them - with repeat visits clearly marked alongside. - Reversing your route is now a pre-Start option, moved from Options upfront. - Fixed a rounding error so profile and stats screens now all agree on your completion percentage. - Fixed a long-standing bug where the Map's search box could stop opening the keyboard (and the fell markers could vanish) after viewing a fell's details. COMPANION+ - Routes can start up to 10km outside the National Park. PRoviding more options to navigate to the Outliers. - Photos are optimised before upload, so sharing a walk with five photos now takes seconds instead of minutes - with live progress while it happens, and shares that couldn't send retried automatically. Companion PRO - The Live Activity now lists your route's summits in walking order, and points you to the Finish once the last one is bagged. - Also fixed a minor alignment issue on the centre, which was left-aligned on the return.

Fab little app!

I absolutely love this app - it’s made planning my weekend hikes so much easier (& safer)!!! I’ve used other nav apps in the past and found them to either be clunky or expensive for what they provide and this is neither. The route planning is really slick and it costs less than a pie and a pint at the end of a hike. Plus it’s helped me discover some hidden gems of the lakes along the way too.
