BIKEYARD 2.3.5 is a focused release: a rebuilt ride recorder on Android, and a couple of small reads on the leaderboard.

Steadier recording, even when the phone fights back

Some Android phones stop background recording outright — force-stopped by the manufacturer's own battery manager, no matter what permission you granted. Two riders lost real chunks of real rides to exactly that. BIKEYARD now fights back:

The recorder watches its own signal, and if it goes quiet it restarts the location subscription, switches to a second location source, and tells you the moment the ride actually stops recording — no more silently losing time while the notification says everything is fine.
Returning to the app, or reopening the ride screen, now checks the recorder is still running and restarts it if it isn't.
A red banner appears on the ride screen while recording is stopped, with a direct link to the settings that are blocking it.
If a ride does lose a stretch, you're told exactly how much when it comes back.
The battery-optimisation exemption is now offered to every rider, not only those who skipped "allow all the time" — it's a separate setting, and it's the one that actually keeps the recorder alive.
On phones that keep their own list of apps allowed to run in the background (Xiaomi, Huawei, OPPO, vivo, OnePlus and others), BIKEYARD can now open that screen for you directly from Settings.

On the leaderboard

The trail leaderboard now marks the current course record with a crown instead of a number, and every entry shows the time it was set with. Your own ride achievements show that time too.

Free, no ads, on the App Store and Google Play on the same day.
