Releases

• A photo picker built for journeys: choosing photos now happens inside Wander. Filter your library by a day or a date range, jump straight to a place, or draw a circle on the map to gather everything you shot there.
• Notes and tags: write a note on a whole Wander, or on any single stop, leg, or waypoint. Tag them however you think, and search your Logbook by both.
• Weather: look up the conditions and temperature your journey happened in, recorded stop by stop from the moment each photo was taken, and watch it change as playback moves along the route.
• Places: save the spots you set out from again and again, like home or a favorite trailhead, then drop one onto any Wander in a tap.
• Insights: your lifetime totals across everything you have wandered, from distance and photos to your busiest month and a breakdown by activity.
• Spotlight and Siri: your Wanders turn up in Spotlight search, and "Create a Wander" works from Siri, Shortcuts, or the Action Button.
• Built for everyone: Wander now follows your accessibility settings, with Reduce Motion and Transparency, Dynamic Type, higher-contrast pins, and full VoiceOver, including an audio graph of your elevation chart.

Refined

• Edit from the Timeline: change a leg's activity, its people, or a waypoint without leaving the list, and collapse a photo-heavy stop to just its cover.
• Smarter waypoints: move one to another leg, relocate it by searching a new place, timestamp a mid-route stop to sharpen your pace, or add one straight from an Apple Maps link.
• Smarter Smart Folders: fill a folder by tag, note, weather, or the places you added as waypoints, on top of activity, people, and favorites.

• Waypoints: drop or search for an extra place and bend a leg of your route through it. Set one as the start or end so the line begins before your first photo or runs past your last, make it a round trip that loops home, and give a waypoint its own elevation so your climb chart tells the whole story.
• Smart Folders: folders that fill themselves from rules, like runs with Ben but not Sam. Set conditions by activity and people, and matching Wanders appear on their own.
• Backups: your whole library backs up to your own iCloud Drive, on a daily schedule if you like, and restores if anything ever goes wrong.
• Recently Deleted: deleting is undoable now. Deleted Wanders wait 30 days so you can bring them back.
• Favorite People: favorite the people you travel with, and they sit at the top when you tag them.
• A tidier Logbook: All Wanders sits up top with your folders below, and search, sort, and filters live right in each list.
• Better share images: drag and pinch to frame the route exactly how you like, pick a standard or satellite backdrop, and add a cover photo up top.

Refined

• Faster imports and fewer routing failures, tuned to run smoothly on older iPhones.
• Big Wanders keep building even if you leave the app (or you can cancel and start over) with an honest progress estimate along the way.
• Sync trouble now surfaces in Settings instead of failing quietly.
• Smaller polish across the Timeline, folders, People, and playback.

• Activities: mark any leg of a journey as running, cycling, hiking, or driving (even a train, boat, or flight). The route redraws per leg: real streets and trails on land, a clean line across water or sky.
• Smart suggestions: Wander reads trail names, pace, and elevation and gently suggests a type ("Looks like a hike"). You decide; nothing changes on its own.
• People: add the people who shared a journey (from Contacts, or created on the spot), attach them to a Wander or part of one, and browse every Wander you've taken together.
• Favorites: heart a Wander from the list, the detail view, or a swipe.
• Logbook filters: narrow to favorites, an activity, or a person; the filters compose.
• Share card upgrades: a featured photo up top, an optional elevation chart, and point-to-point journeys titled "X to Y."
• At home on iPad: folder rows with their own stats, people counts on every Wander row, and a fuller stats bar with time, pace, and elevation gain.
• Photo viewer: full-screen photos titled with the time and place they were taken, a star marking each stop's cover photo, and a timeline rail showing how you traveled between stops.
• Distances, refined: very short Wanders read in feet or meters, and switching miles ↔ kilometers updates everywhere instantly.
• The import notification now arrives reliably when you leave the app while a route builds.

Fixes

• Out-and-back routes no longer cut the corner where you doubled back; the route follows the street you actually took.
• Changing a Wander's type on a long route no longer fails on a momentary Maps hiccup; routing retries and recovers.
• Smaller fixes: the type-switch animation plays out fully, the New Folder name field focuses on open, and the playback people bar shows up to four faces before collapsing to "+N."

• Universal app: Wander now runs on both iPhone and iPad, with your Logbook syncing privately across your devices through your own iCloud.
• Single-screen design: the Logbook is now the home of the app. The bottom tab bar is gone; everything starts and lives in one place.
• Folders, redesigned: Notes-style folders you drill into, each with its own color and symbol. Drag to reorder.
• Search: find any walk by name, place, or date.
• Edit a saved walk: remove a stop and Wander rebuilds the route around it.
• Playback now opens its picture-in-picture viewer on your first photo.
• New app icon and launch screen.

• Fun walk names: every walk gets an auto-generated name based on time of day and distance ("Morning Stroll Through Paris", "Afternoon Trek Through Brussels"). Rename anytime.
• Elevation chart: a smoothed altitude curve drawn from your photos' GPS data, synced to playback. Tap the mountain icon to show it.
• Playback picture-in-picture: a mini photo viewer follows along during route playback. Drag it between corners; the app remembers where you put it.
• Pin clustering: nearby photos group under a single pin with a count badge, so dense walks read cleanly on the map.
• iCloud sync: your saved walks sync privately across your iCloud-signed iPhones through your own iCloud database. No third-party servers.
• Share image with light/dark toggle: your walk shares as a polished card with a "Made with Wander" sign-off. Tap the sun/moon button to flip between light and dark variants before you share.
• Logbook organization: sort walks into folders, browse by date, or drag to reorder.
• Refreshed app icon, deeper cobalt launch screen, and a brighter accent across the app.
• Portrait-only orientation lock.

Fixes

• Sharing via Messages now reliably delivers to every recipient (including SMS contacts) with smaller and faster image transfers.
• Logbook layout could drift after a fresh-import push. Fixed.
• Playback picture-in-picture could overlap the playback bar on Pro Max devices. Fixed.

• New bottom tab bar: Home, Create, Logbook, and Feedback are always one tap away.
• "My Walks" is now called Logbook.
• Send feedback right from the app: a Feedback tab opens a pre-filled message with your device and build details ready to go.
• Fixed: photo thumbnails in saved walks could render rotated 90° on iPhone JPEGs with EXIF orientation.

Wander's first App Store release.

• Turn geotagged photos into a street-locked walking route, sorted by capture time.

• Save walks to your library and organize them into folders.
• Share any walk as an image with the route and stats overlaid on the map.
