Major update: record your hikes!
Use Rheaparks to record your hikes. Whether you’re walking on a trail featured in one of our 13 natural parks, or a stroll near your home, Rheaparks will always be helpful!
* Open the app, choose a hike, tap "Start hike" and let Rheaparks guide you
* The hike you’re about to do isn’t showcased in the app? No worries, you’ll also have a great experience.
* Rheaparks records your route and displays the total distance along with the duration of your effort
* Monitor your current altitude and the elevation gains and losses of the trail (iPhone 12 or better)
* Background trail recording
* A live activity is displayed on your lock screen and allows you to glance at useful data without even opening the app. Supports iPhone 14 Pro Dynamic Island.
* Once the hike is completed, it’s saved in Apple Health and counts for your activity rings from the Fitness app
* You can find history of your hikes in the Profile section, in Apple Health, or Apple Fitness
* A new button allows you to display a satellite view in the map in addition to the default map
This is the greatest update to Rheaparks and we’ve been working on it for quite some time! It’s a foundation on which we’ll expand the app by bringing a lot of new ideas. We hope that the app will be useful during your hikes and that you’ll spend some good time with it.

In this update: two new tools to help you find your next hike: FILTER and SORT!
FILTER
• Select exactly the hikes that match your preferences with the new "Filter" button when viewing a Park.
• Take advantage of a vast array of filters such as: difficulty, rank, favorites, whether dogs are allowed or not, distance, duration, elevation…
• Once all the filters are selected, the list of hikes will only feature hikes matching your filters!
A few examples of useful filters :
- An easy hike, but noteworthy!
- A hike where I can bring my dog
- A hike with less than 100m of elevation and that lasts no more than 3 hours
SORT
• In addition to filters, you can now choose in which order hikes are displayed!
• All you have to do is to tap the "Sort" button when viewing a Park.
• You can then order the hikes by: rank, difficulty, elevation, duration, distance and even alphabetically!
• All of it in increasing and decreasing order.
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
Fixed a few minor issues.
By using one of these features or by combining them, it becomes very easy to find the perfect hike for you and your friends. Have a nice walk!

Rheaparks is available in offline mode for free! This is important to easily find your way under any circumstance and to be serene while walking on the trail. We’ve just been in the Pyrenees for a week and let me tell you, not all hikes there have cellular network coverage! In this update we therefore decided to improve the offline-mode experience.
New in this version:
• New profile section with a history of the recently viewed hikes •
Each time you view a hike in the app, it is added to the history found in the profile section. Not only it’s easier to find hikes you’ve previously encountered in other sections of the app, but they are saved on your device and ready to be viewed offline!
• Improved offline mode on the Apple Watch •
The Apple Watch app is now better at retrieving previously fetched hikes, even when the network connection comes to miss.
