[email protected]. Happy exploring! 2026.05.2 May 22 Photo challenge screens now make it clearer where photos can be submitted while keeping browsing separate from the submit flow. Details, Locations, Categories, and Photos tabs now follow a cleaner flow before and after joining, browsing Locations and Categories stays informational until you explicitly choose to submit a photo, and submission uses one guided flow with consistent progress and visible selected category/location context. Submitting a photo is now a direct three-step flow — pick a category, pick a location, then write your post — with the Submit button disabled until you've attached a photo. Category cards drop the small status pill in favor of clearer "N of M submitted" copy, tapping a category in the picker advances immediately instead of needing a separate NEXT button, and categories that allow multiple submissions per person stay open for new submissions until you actually reach the per-person limit. The submission screens drop an extra summary card so each step has more room for the actual content, and the primary action buttons (SUBMIT, POST, SELECT A LOCATION, JOIN CHALLENGE, NEXT) use a higher-contrast label color so the button text stays readable in both their active and disabled states. Submitted photos now appear in the Photos gallery and My Submissions without requiring a manual refresh, Locations and Categories no longer fully reload just because you joined, categories with prior submissions stay visible for additional submissions until you reach the per-person limit, you can no longer favorite your own submitted photo, and the participant count now uses the correct singular/plural wording. We also dropped the rolled-up Submitted count pill on Locations rows, expanded the category detail sheet so longer descriptions render in full with formatting and scrolling, moved the selected category pill next to the challenge name on the Create Post step, and made tapping a submittable category jump straight to the submit flow with a progress bar that only appears when there are multiple steps. This build also rolls in another round of polish across the category, location, and post-creation screens for tighter spacing, copy, and behavior. Sharing a photo challenge submission now shares the actual social post (with image and caption) via a deep link instead of just the raw image, button and title casing across challenge screens reads as "Join Challenge", "Submit Photo", "Continue", and "Share" instead of all-caps, and the missing divider line under the navigation bar on the standalone Social screen is back. We also tightened photo challenge submission screens for visual consistency with cleaner sheet styling, restored uppercase action buttons where appropriate, and added a My Submissions–specific empty state, and hardened the photo challenge questionnaire flow so unsupported legacy questions are skipped, going Back from the post step preserves the answers you already entered, and step counts include each question. This release also fixes a crash that could happen when opening the Me > Challenges tab while a refresh was in flight, fixes survey challenge tasks completed while offline disappearing from To-Do but never showing up in Completed after the next sync, and fixes the sponsored badge on community cards in the More Communities carousel drifting away from the community name when the name was short. We also tightened the photo challenge submission flow so the Create Post step has a real Back button to your previous step, and the flow handles cases where the location has no eligible category or you aren't enrolled in the challenge more clearly.

[email protected]. Happy exploring! 2026.05.1 May 11 A round of polish for photo challenge gallery, category, and location screens, faster photo challenge loading, easier access to Edit Profile, a tighter user-tracking zoom on the map, and fixes to link taps and rich text rendering on newer iOS versions. Photo challenges with many locations and categories now open faster on first load, tapping a location with multiple categories shows all of them in one place, and the Photos gallery, category cards, and category bottom sheet drop missing-image placeholders, align text to the leading edge, and surface the task's custom message when one is set. Upcoming photo challenges no longer show a JOIN CHALLENGE button before the challenge is open. Tapping your own profile photo or name on the Me tab now opens Edit Profile, recentering on your location keeps a tighter zoom, and the Communities banner drops its offline indicator. Map cards show "Your Location" instead of "Map Selection" when you tap on your own location dot, points of interest and waypoints show an icon again in shared lists, and the Organizations banner skips organizations without logos before showing up to ten. Links inside social posts and rich text once again work on iOS 17+, text view links stay tappable after layout updates on iOS 26, and articles, events, challenge details, and task descriptions render correctly when the app is opened from the background. A cache fix also prevents unrelated items with the same numeric id from sharing cached details.

[email protected]. Happy exploring! 2026.04.8 May 2 Joining a challenge now updates the rest of the app right away: home challenge cards switch to "Participating" and the challenge Details screen fills in "Participating Since" instead of waiting for the next refresh. Tapping Join Challenge while signed out now prompts you to log in instead of quietly failing. This release also fixes a non-tappable "{count} Participants" button on active challenges, badge counts wrapping to two lines on the To-Do tab, location pills missing leading padding when no type icon is available, a tall whitespace gap between the Organization bulletin board and the preview map, a selected map button highlighting only an inset circle instead of the full button, and a rare social feed crash during offline post reconciliation.
