v 5.3

This update is focused around massive improvements to Hiking Routes and Offline Maps. You can now plan routes right inside of Pedometer++ using an intuitive waypoint based editor. Just tap the points you want to visit and a walking route will automatically be calculated along that route. You can then download offline map tiles for a given area or along the route you have planned to take.

On the Apple Watch side of things there is a massive visual overhaul to bring the app inline with the new watchOS 10 design. The route planner is also now available on the Apple Watch, perfect for those last minute changes in plans.

For those users in the United Kingdom there is also now the ability to display OS maps within the app.

I've also now added Yearly Streaks up to 10 years.
