Recent customer-visible changes

Version 4.9.5

This update makes StepSprite much more forgiving if you do not sync for a while.

• the device now keeps up to a month of step history on-device
• the iPhone app backfills that history in chunks when you reconnect
• syncing is more resilient after longer gaps or interrupted sessions

Version 4.8.0

This update made StepSprite’s distance and calorie estimates more pace-aware.

• distance now adjusts more sensibly for slower and faster walking pace
• live workout distance and calories now line up better with stored batch data
• charts and workout summaries stay more consistent with each other

Version 4.7.9

This update made Apple Health behavior more conservative by default.

• StepSprite now writes steps by default when Health access is enabled
• distance, calories, and workouts stay app-only unless you turn them on
• onboarding and settings now explain Apple Health source priority more clearly

Version 4.7.8

This update made workouts and sync more durable.

• the Live tab became the Workouts tab
• StepSprite now saves local workout and batch data first, then retries Health writes later if needed
• the Stats tab now shows richer workout and estimate information

Version 4.7.7

This was the update that made StepSprite more workout-aware.

• manual workouts became a first-class part of the app
• distance and calorie estimates were added to the app flow
• height, weight, and stride override settings were added for better estimates

Version 4.7.6

This update added charging mode control.
