HEALTH DATA

Collection of Health data such as calories burned and heart rate requires an Apple Watch or other Apple Health connected device.

BATTERY USE

Arc is only awake and using GPS when you are active and moving. For the rest of the day Arc stays in a low power sleep mode, with GPS turned off, to conserve battery.

On a typical day of two to three hours of travel a single full battery charge should last from morning to evening without requiring extra recharging during the day. However longer trips (for example a long hike or cross country drive) may consume more than expected battery, due to Arc needing to be awake and recording, with GPS activated, for the duration of the trip.

For longer trips, I recommend plugging your phone into a car charger or battery pack, to avoid unpleasant battery surprises.

SUBSCRIPTIONS AND PURCHASES

A free trial, active subscription, or Lifetime purchase is required to use the app.

3.10.0
May 5, 2023
## Added hourly weather reports

Each timeline item now shows hourly weather reports on its item details view. These reports are provided by Apple's WeatherKit service, which provides both current and historical weather data. This means you can look back through your timeline data and find out what the weather conditions were in the past (so long as the timeline item's date is after the launch of Apple's WeatherKit service, mid last year).

## Migrated to latest Mapbox SDK

This one is largely just a housekeeping task. Mapbox completely rebuilt their maps SDK a couple of years ago, and are now requiring everyone to migrate to the new version. This doesn't add any new maps features in Arc App, but it did take up a hefty chunk of development time, and as such represents the bulk of the changes in this update.

You might notice some small changes in the appearance of the maps, but otherwise they should continue to function the same as before.
3.9.1
Apr 12, 2023
Fixed the problem of the app getting suspended in the background on iOS 16.4.
3.9.0
Mar 7, 2023
## Fully rebuilt all the charts on timeline item details views

- Heart rate chart is now colour coded by heart rate zones
- Speed and altitude charts show both points and line, to communicate the data noise versus the trend over time
- Histogram views for common speeds, visit durations, and visit arrival and leaving times are now displayed as horizontal bars, to better accommodate histograms with many bars

## Other bits

- Cleaned up the "Sleeps" section on item details view, with it now showing totals per sleep category (eg in bed, deep sleep, etc)
- Fixed the annoying bug that would kick you back to the timeline view while trying to do cleanup edits in the Individual Segments view
- Fixed Activity tab summaries incorrectly including duration and distance amounts from "bogus" items
- Fixed the calendar view not respecting the system setting for first day of week
- Significantly reduced the amount of nonsense moving type segments inside visits
3.8.2
Dec 20, 2022
Arc now manually cleans up old temp files instead of waiting for iOS to do it, to avoid the app taking up excess space on some people's phones.
3.8.1
Dec 7, 2022
Fixed a crash on launch that is affecting some users.
3.8.0
Dec 5, 2022
This update introduces a new activity type detection system built with Apple's Core ML, with significantly improved accuracy, and fewer confirms/corrects needed!

Note that after the update it may take a day for the new ML models to be built, so you might see a temporary drop in accuracy until the daily background task has completed.

- Fixed custom visit titles not appearing if title is only one character long
- Fixed hiking workouts importing as incorrect type
- Dark Mode map now defaults to a more neutral map style (Note that you can override map styles for Light and Dark Mode in Map Settings)

- Fixed workouts list not updating after adding/removing workout from timeline
- Other misc bug fixes
3.6.0
Sep 27, 2022
You can now import workouts from Health app directly into Arc’s timeline!

Tapping on the new red workouts button at the top of the timeline view will take you into the flow for importing and adding workouts to your timeline.

Note that only workouts that were recorded with location data can be imported. For example walking or running recorded on an Apple Watch or other wearable. Indoor or stationary workouts, eg yoga or strength training, don’t contain location data so can’t be imported. However their recorded calorie and heart rate data will still appear as usual in item details views.

## Other New And Improved Stuff

- Significant UI speed improvements
- Significant processing speed improvements
- The Split Segment view now zooms into the split point when nudging left/right
- The recording engine applies less aggressive smoothing, making use of the less erratic location data on newer phone models, for more accurate and detailed trip paths
- Monthly and yearly map views now update outdated map data when being viewed while plugged in to power

## Even More Stuff

- Improved auto place assignment for places that have/haven’t been visited recently
- Fixed the photo previews incorrectly appearing on subviews after closing full map view
- Places searches with accented characters work correctly again
- Tapping the date now opens the calendar view
- Individual Segments view now shows sample counts for each segment
- Lots of improvements in automatic timeline processing and cleanup
- Many more minor bug fixes and improvements
