What's New in Wainwright Companion
1.3.0
July 1, 2026
New Features: • Pro gets live route directions. While you're navigating, your Dynamic Island and lock screen show the stats that matter; progress, distance and ascent remaining to the next summit, your elapsed time, and a direction arrow pointing you the right way. Not just a compass, a directional arrow that knows your route and tells you which way to head. • Companion+ now supports follow-along navigation for all 225 trails. Open a route, tap Follow Along, and the map tracks your position in real time along the path, showing the summits still ahead of you. When you reach the end, you close the session and log the completion and summits in one step. • Companion+ includes all 116 Outlying Fells. Switch between your original 214 and the Outlying Fells from the Map or Checklist, with the same weather forecasts, pinpoint accuracy, achievements, and regional breakdown you'd expect. If you've been ticking both books in your own records, the app is keeping up. • Free tier's Profile tab has been reorganised around progress. Progress at the top shows exactly where you stand in the list, with achievements below showing recent milestones without needing to open the full grid. • Free Tier now highlights revisited fells. The map and checklist now distinguish fells you've climbed more than once. Your repeat ascents have always been recorded, now they show. Squashed bugs: • Fell marker outlines now align to the system setting; supporting light and dark mode more closely. • Improved a scrolling stutter which could occur for some users during iCloud sync activity. • Added a notification informing users when no suggested fells were being displayed due to sunset. • Night Owl achievement might fire when adding a manual completion after 20:00, re-saving will now correct this.
