A look back at what changed in HiiKER during December 2025.
December brought our most advanced update yet — HiiKER 26 — alongside a steady stream of polish heading into the new year.
🚀 HiiKER 26 (Android)
The headline release of the year. HiiKER 26 introduced a major expansion of the hike planner and brought a redesigned hike and recording experience to the app.
- A more powerful hike planner for planning, navigating and sharing your adventures. (Full story: HiiKER 26. Now available.)
- Community hike submissions — you can now submit your own hikes to help map the world’s trails. (More: Share your hikes with the world.)
- A consolidated recording page that brings everything about a recording into one cleaner screen.
- Off-route notifications while recording, so you know the moment you wander off the path.
🐛 End-of-month polish (Android)
- Removed the speed limit on recordings — record activities at any pace.
- Fixed the quick action button on the map.
- A batch of hike edit fixes and crash fixes.
📱 On iPhone: HiiKER 26 followed on iOS — see the months ahead for the iPhone rollout.
