App 1.0.9 — native camera, location & notifications

App 1.0.8 — themes, guest invites & native polish

  • New

    Themes & onboarding

    Six distinct color presets, custom accent colors, and a short setup flow for new riders (trail name + theme). Existing members get a one-time theme picker.

  • New

    Guest run invites

    Hosts can share a link so friends join a run with a temporary trail name — no full account required. Access is limited to that run until it ends.

  • Improved

    Live map location

    Tapping Share my location on an active run now prompts for GPS permission on the native app. SOS uses the same flow.

  • Improved

    Status bar & shell

    On iPhone and Android, the status bar matches your theme preset or custom colors.

  • Improved

    Run publishing

    Clearer errors when a run fails to publish, with hints on what to fix.

Still building — vote, clubs & push on the way

We’re still actively building

SoCal Offroaders is under active development — new features land regularly. Push notifications are paused while we fix a stability issue (nothing is sent). Which alerts would feel helpful vs. annoying when we turn them back on? Run reminders (72h / 48h / 24h), new runs near you, club updates, DMs, community vote open / winner, or safety on active runs. Reply via support or club chat.

    Community trail vote — opens soon

    A 14-day blind vote for our next big group run is coming to the top of the feed — Lytle Creek or Cleghorn, day or night. Vote opens soon; you’ll get one vote and the winner is revealed when the timer ends.

  • New

    Club cover photo

    Club owners can set a full-width background on the club page and directory cards. Tap Add cover photo on your club page or upload from Edit club info.

  • New

    Club logo upload

    Upload a club logo from your phone — camera button on the club page or file picker under Edit club info.

  • New

    Auto nicknames (@username)

    Every rider gets a unique @handle on sign-in. The feed, runs, clubs, and messages show nicknames only — real names stay private on public surfaces.

  • Improved

    Push setup (paused)

    Remote push registration is turned off for now while we fix a crash when allowing notifications. Local run reminders on the native app still work if enabled in Settings.

  • Improved

    Signed-in app entry

    Returning users skip the marketing homepage and off-road advisory gate — you land in the feed automatically.

  • New

    Trail condition reports

    Submit structured trail reports from trail pages or completed runs. Reports can include photos and post to the feed.

  • Fix

    Repost visibility

    Reposts now appear in your feed only when you follow the person who reposted (plus your own reposts).

  • Improved

    Run lifecycle

    Runs auto-start at their scheduled time and auto-complete after 24 hours. Hosts can still start a run early.
