  • New in version 1.6.0
    This one is big. I've made sure this update doesn't wipe your step data, but better safe than sorry. I recommend exporting your step history before updating. Don't worry if step count for some days get altered; this version aims to fix timezone and Daylight Saving Time problems, and it will fix displaced data chunks for some.

    New:
    - Daily Goal line on chart (optional)

    Changes:
    - Daily Goal can be disabled (set to 0)
    - Data import will now clear all stored step data first – previously it merged
