#Hiking App

Strava has announced a set of new and updated hiking features aimed at helping users discover trails, navigate routes, and share outdoor experiences with others. The update covers different parts of the hiking experience, including route planning, real-time navigation, and social sharing. According to Strava, hiking has become more social on the platform, with its Year In Sport report showing a 5.8-times increase in hiking clubs in 2025. A new Route Saves feature will also allow subscribers to save routes directly within the app. Other features include Route Following on Apple Watch, Smart Watch Route Sync for compatible devices, Offline Routes, a fullscreen recording map, and Live Elevation tracking. Sticker stats and hiking-focused Clubs are also available for sharing routes, challenges, and achievements with the community. Apple has loosened its grip on retro console emulators within the App Store. The updated App Store guidelines now permit these long-banned emulators, allowing those already availeble to Android to make their way onto iPhones.
