What's new in each release. Download the latest APK from GitHub Releases.

0.26.0, September 30, 2026

New & Improved

General

• The side menu now links to the Acknowledgements page, which credits the projects this app uses.

Group Sync

• The Control API can now read and edit your favorites, routes, and speed profiles, and it accepts movement and state commands. The wiki has the full reference.

Fixes

Floating Joystick

• Moving the joystick now pauses a walk, route, or roam instead of ending it, so you can resume it afterward. The widget also shows more clearly which state it is in.

Floating Widget

• The debug stats readout now opens in a small popup beside the widget instead of covering it. The Tap to Walk cancel button now works with TalkBack.

General

• External links in the side menu are no longer read twice by TalkBack.

Tap to Walk

• Compass orientation now retries up to three times when it cannot read your heading. The Accessibility explanation now appears on its own during first-run setup.

Theme

• The light theme has stronger contrast for accents, errors, warnings, outlines, and the top-bar toggle, so text and controls are easier to see.

0.25.0, September 27, 2026

New & Improved

Group Sync

• Leader devices can now be controlled from other apps on your Wi-Fi through a Control API, switched on in Group Sync. The wiki has the full reference.

Location Links (Automatic & Capture)

• Capture mode, its List/Jump action, and the pass-through browser choice are now also available inline in Settings > Menus, not only on the dedicated Capture screen.

Fixes

Location Links (Automatic & Capture)

• Opening a map link now always shows the Teleport, Walk, or Do nothing choice, even with Capture mode off. Before, that link jumped straight to Maps or the browser instead.

Tap to Walk

• The compass permission prompt no longer appears on launch. It is now an optional card during first-run setup that you can skip if you do not use Tap to Walk.

0.24.1, September 26, 2026

New & Improved

Floating Joystick

• Moving the joystick now puts you in control right away. It ends any walk, route, roam, or planting, even a paused one, and stops following a group leader, so you move from where you are instead of having to stop things first.

Fixes

Click-to-Move / Teleport

• Teleporting while walking somewhere now always stops that walk. Before, a walk along roads that was still looking up its path could start anyway after the teleport and head back toward the old spot.

Tap to Walk

• First-run setup now has an optional compass orientation step. It explains the Accessibility permission the compass helper uses before Android's settings open, with clear Accept and Decline buttons.

0.24.0, September 23, 2026

New & Improved

Tap to Walk

• Turning on compass orientation now shows a full explanation first: what the screen reading is used for, that the screenshot never leaves your phone, and a link to the guide.

Fixes

Tap to Walk

• The compass orientation explanation is shorter and clearer, and appears every time before the Android accessibility screen opens.

0.23.0, September 19, 2026

New & Improved

Capture Coordinates

• Capture: when you tap a map link in another app, this app can save the location to a list, teleport there at once, or both. Save the list as a route when you are done.
• Capture now walks you through setup with step cards until this app is your default browser, and a new menu lets you restore your previous default browser.

Floating Widget

• Removed the Group Sync button from the floating widget. Use the Teleport to leader now button on the Group Sync screen instead.

General

• The app now opens on the Map while spoofing is on, and on Home while it's off.

Group Sync

• When the group leader teleports, followers now jump there too. Turn off Follow leader teleports to walk instead.
• Joining a group now turns on Follow leader automatically.

Last Remembered Location

• On first launch, the map now opens at your phone's real location instead of a default city. Your remembered position still wins when you have one.

Localization

• Added Traditional Chinese (繁體中文) as a display language.

Map

• Added a Map source switch in Settings → Menus to show Amap (高德) tiles instead of OpenStreetMap on every map, with automatic GCJ-02 conversion so markers, routes and taps stay accurate; saved data remains in standard GPS coordinates.
• A small credit for the map provider (OpenStreetMap contributors or Amap) now shows in the corner of every map, as the provider's terms require.
• Maps now keep up to 200 MB of tiles you've already viewed, so places you revisit load faster.

Roaming Mode

• Added Planting: walk a spiral that grows and shrinks around your position, once or on repeat. Routes can also walk a circle around each stop.
• The roaming sheet now shows one mode at a time, with a button to switch between Walk around and Planting.

Route System

• Paste coordinates: paste a list of coordinates copied from Maps, Notes or a chat. Teleport or walk to one point, or turn several points into a route you can play right away or save. Available from the map, the floating widget and the Routes menu. The map and widget buttons are off by default; turn them on in Settings → Menus → App Features.
• Open GPX files straight from Files, Downloads or a chat app using Open with or Share. The track loads on the map, ready to play or save as a route.

Tap to Walk

• Tap to Walk is out of beta. Compass detection is now automatic, with nothing to calibrate, and the default map scale works out of the box.

Theme

• Cards and sheets have a flatter, rounder look with clearer surface colors.

Update Available Check

• A small badge on the home screen now tells you when a newer version is available.

Fixes

Floating Widget

• While roaming, the widget's route button no longer turns green too; each button now lights up only for its own session.

Group Sync

• When a group leader taps Stop, followers now pause cleanly and resume when the leader starts again, instead of losing the connection.

Map

• Fixed a rare crash when coming back to the app with a map open.
• Tapping the center-on-map button repeatedly no longer lags.

Tap to Walk

• The compass helper now explains what it looks at on a full screen the first time you turn Tap to Walk on or tap the crosshair, and it never reads your screen until you agree.

0.22.0, September 16, 2026

New & Improved

Localization

• Added a Simplified Chinese translation for the app's interface.
• Added a Language row to onboarding and Settings so you can pick English or Simplified Chinese without changing your phone's system language.

Fixes

Localization

• Speed profile names and a few remaining screens now show in the chosen display language instead of falling back to English.
• The floating joystick, floating widget, and background notification now follow the chosen display language on Android 9-12, matching the rest of the app.
• Android 13 and up can now list this app's available languages in its own language-picker Settings screen.
• Play Store downloads now include every supported language instead of only the one matching the device's system locale at install time.

0.21.0, September 14, 2026

New & Improved

General

• Added a Discord community link to the app's menu and website.

Route System

• Added a new Teleport route type: instantly jump between waypoints, waiting a set number of seconds at each stop before moving to the next.
• The speed profile picker on a route's edit screen is now a dropdown, fixing a layout that could overflow the screen on some devices.
• Waypoint wait times on a Teleport route can now be changed after the route is saved, not just when placing the point.

Fixes

Export / Import

• Importing from GPS Joystick is now more reliable, fixing cases where favorites or routes could be parsed incorrectly or lost.

General

• Screen content no longer overlaps the status bar or navigation bar on some devices.

Onboarding

• Returning users no longer need to grant the overlay permission again just to reach the main app.

Roaming Mode

• Roaming's reported movement speed and direction are now accurate to other apps instead of always showing as stopped.

Route System

• Tapping a search result while placing a route waypoint no longer accidentally adds an extra point.
• Route replay could occasionally lag one tick behind when waypoints were placed close together; movement now stays on schedule.

Tap to Walk

• Enabling compass tracking now shows a clear disclosure about the screenshot it takes before opening the accessibility settings screen.

0.20.1, September 10, 2026

Fixes

Route System

• Changing the speed profile mid-replay now takes effect even when the route has a pinned speed profile.

0.20.0, September 6, 2026

New & Improved

• The 'vary altitude' checkbox and its amount field are now combined into a single control.

Onboarding

• Onboarding's 'set as fake GPS app' check can now be bypassed permanently, for setups where spoofing already works despite the check not detecting it.
• If the 'set as fake GPS app' check doesn't detect your setup, the 'Skip' option now explains what it means before you confirm, instead of skipping instantly.

Route System

• An option to walk via roads to a route's starting point before playback begins.

Fixes
