Release notes
Changelog.
What's changed in every version, in plain English. Pavel writes these — no marketing tone, no hidden 'misc fixes'.
Last updated · July 14, 2026
v1.3.0July 14, 2026 AquaTrack speaks your language.
- Ten new languages: Japanese, German, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Korean, Italian and Turkish.
- Pick a language in Settings → Language, without leaving the app or restarting it. Widgets and reminders follow along. "System" hands the choice back to iOS.
- Drink names are now translated properly. Ukrainian used to show them in Russian — that's fixed.
- The Apple Health permission screen was showing Russian text to English speakers. Also fixed, and it now says plainly what AquaTrack reads: weight, age, sex, steps and workouts.
v1.2.4July 2, 2026 Faster, smarter setup.
- Premium now shows correctly the instant the app opens — no more brief flash of locked features while your subscription loads.
- New optional step at the start of setup: connect Apple Health and we'll fill in your weight, sex and age for you, and suggest an activity level from your steps and workouts. Everything stays editable, and "Fill in manually" is right there if you'd rather not.
v1.2.3June 23, 2026 Live Activity control, hidden drinks & polish.
- Turn the Lock Screen / Dynamic Island Live Activity on or off in Settings. (It only runs for Premium.)
- Hide a custom drink you no longer use: long-press it in the drink picker and choose Hide. It leaves the list but keeps every past log; "Hidden drinks" brings it back. (Premium)
- History now shows where an imported entry came from — e.g. "Apple Health" — under the drink name.
- Restore purchases right from the welcome screen. Returning subscribers can skip the setup quiz and go straight to their first log.
- Polish: primary buttons now use the app's aqua colour instead of black, a few Settings screens no longer tuck their last row under the tab bar, and the Integrations row no longer mislabels itself "Apple Health".
v1.2.2June 20, 2026 Polish & data export.
- Export your history as CSV for any date range. Settings → Export data: pick a start and end date and share a spreadsheet of every log in between. (Premium)
- Quick-add buttons now give an immediate tap of haptic feedback, and the Vibration toggle in Settings → Reminders is finally honoured everywhere.
- Fixed two drink icons that showed up blank — the "Broth" category, and a couple of icon choices in the custom-drink editor.
v1.2.1June 17, 2026 Sharing & Live Activity fixes.
- Sharing an achievement now reaches every app. Before, the card didn't make it to messengers like Telegram or WhatsApp; now it goes through the standard share sheet — the image plus a caption — to whatever app you pick.
- The Lock Screen / Dynamic Island Live Activity no longer shows yesterday's progress after midnight. At the start of a new day it switches to a clean "New day" state instead of a stale filled ring.
Streak rescue, on autopilot. (Premium)
- Turn on auto-rescue in Settings → Reminders, and if you fall short one day the app quietly spends one of your monthly streak rescues at the next rollover — so a single missed day doesn't end a long streak. You still get up to four rescues a month.
v1.2.0June 14, 2026 Your own drinks.
- Create custom beverages. Premium users can add their own drink — name, icon, colour and default size — and it shows up in the picker under "Custom".
- The app works out the hydration value for you. Instead of asking you to type a number you couldn't know, it estimates how much a drink counts toward your goal from its category and a couple of simple facts (electrolytes, sugar, or alcohol strength), with plain water as the baseline. Most drinks count about the same as water; milk and electrolyte drinks a little more, alcohol less.
- See why. Each custom drink shows its hydration value with a "Why this number?" explainer and a plain, non-medical note — in keeping with the app's science-first, no-magic approach.
- Edit or remove your drinks anytime. A drink that's already in your history stays there with its original value.
Faster access to your drinks.
- A new "More" tile at the end of the quick-add row opens the full drink picker — and custom-drink creation — in a single tap.
- Long-press any quick-add button for a menu: log with edits, or jump to button settings. Now reachable with VoiceOver too.
v1.1.3June 12, 2026 Stability fixes.
- Fixed a rare background crash. When the app woke up on its own — to roll over to a new day, or to check in after a few days away — it could crash instead of quietly doing that work. It now handles those background wake-ups correctly.
- Fixed a rare startup crash. If the app's local database ever failed to open or upgrade, the app could get stuck crashing every time you opened it. It now recovers on its own — and in the rare case the database can't be repaired, it resets so the app still opens, rather than being unable to launch at all.
v1.1.2June 7, 2026 A more accurate daily goal — and now you can see how it's calculated.
- Fixed how exercise affects your goal. Your activity level (sedentary → athlete) already assumes a certain amount of regular training, and the app was also adding water for every workout it read from Apple Health — so regular exercisers were charged twice. Now a workout only adds water for the minutes beyond what your activity level already assumes, with a daily cap so very long sessions don't produce extreme numbers.
- Your activity level now adds a fixed amount of water rather than a percentage of your body weight. This matches the science better — a trained body needs roughly a fixed extra amount per day, not a slice that balloons with weight.
- As a result your daily goal may shift a little after updating: heavier, very active profiles come down somewhat (they were over-estimated before), lighter ones go up a touch. It's still a guideline, not medical advice.
- Tap the ring — the small ⓘ in the corner, or its centre — to see how your goal is built (your weight, activity level and climate) and what "hydration credit" means: at normal amounts most drinks hydrate about as much as water, while milk and rehydration drinks count a bit more (based on Maughan et al., 2016).
- Premium screens now read consistently premium — the daily-insight card, the premium drinks in the picker, and the quick-add customise control on Today all share the same look.
- Fixed: during onboarding, the first-drink card now shows the amount you actually chose — it could keep showing the default 250 ml even after you changed it (your drink was always logged correctly).
v1.1.1June 2, 2026 Daily summary, plus a few Today and Settings touch-ups.
- New optional reminder — a once-a-day recap of how much you drank, sent shortly before your sleep time. Turn it on in Settings → Reminders → "Daily summary". It's free, respects quiet hours, and skips itself if it's already late.
- Free accounts now always see a short card on Today pointing to the daily insight (a Premium feature) — it's there the moment you open the app, no flicker. On Premium the card is always present too: on a fresh day it nudges you to log your first drink, then shows the day's insight.
- Long-pressing a quick-add button now opens the editor pre-filled with that button's drink and amount — long-press your "Americano 100 ml" and you get Americano at 100 ml, not water.
- "Show all for the day" now supports swipe-to-delete with undo, the same as the Today screen itself.
- The Weather settings screen is tidier — the climate card is easier to read and the current zone now stands out instead of getting lost in fine print.
v1.1.0May 30, 2026 Weather-aware daily goal (Premium).
Your hydration goal can now adapt to the weather where you are. Turn on weather adjustment in Settings → Integrations → Weather (or from your profile's climate screen) and AquaTrack reads the average temperature at your location to fine-tune the goal — higher in a heatwave, back to normal when it cools off. It's a guidance estimate, not medical advice.
- Climate zone is worked out from a 14-day trailing temperature average, so a short trip doesn't swing your goal — a real move adapts it gradually.
- A hotter-than-usual day adds a little extra on top, capped so it stays sensible.
- Location is used only on your device, once when you enable it and on a light refresh; nothing is sent to a server.
- Free, no location, or denied permission: your manually chosen climate zone is used, exactly as before — nothing changes.
- Integrations is now a tidy menu — Apple Health and Weather each have their own screen.
v1.0.1May 29, 2026 Small improvements.
- Swipe left on a Today entry to delete it — with an undo.
- Settings now has a full data reset: wipes your history, achievements and profile and starts fresh.
- About now links to the support page.
