What every switch does

Push notifications Free

The master switch. When it is off, Untrack sends no pushes even if individual types below remain selected.

Ideal ride time Pro

Uses roughly the next 3 hours of weather and wind around your start. It can notify you when conditions look favorable for a ride.

Weather window Pro

Sends a signal when conditions around you begin to improve, for example after a period of worse weather.

Weekend forecast Pro

Reminds you before Saturday or Sunday when the forecast shows a useful window for planning a route.

New area Pro

Suggests a loop through less familiar roads when it may be worth leaving your usual riding pattern.

How was the route? Free

Can ask for a rating and short feedback after a ride. Your response helps improve later recommendations.

Back on the bike Free

A gentle reminder after a longer break from activity. It is not a training plan or mandatory schedule.

If notifications do not arrive

1. Confirm that the main switch in Untrack is enabled.
2. Open iPhone Settings → Notifications → Untrack and enable Allow Notifications.
3. For weather alerts, set a valid GPS position or Home address so the app knows which conditions to use.
4. Check the active plan: the four Pro-marked alert types are disabled on Free accounts.
5. Enabling a switch does not send a message immediately. A push appears only when the relevant context occurs.

iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → Untrack

1. In iPhone Settings, open Privacy & Security, then Location Services and Untrack.
2. Allow location while using the app and enable Precise Location.
3. Return to Untrack: Map → Options → My location.
4. Move into an open area, wait briefly and use the refresh / GPS-center action.
5. If the position is stale, close and reopen Untrack and check whether iPhone is restricting location services.
6. As a fallback, choose Home. A custom manual start point is available in Pro.
7. If the app uses the wrong home, follow the home-address guide.

Bottom navigation → Profile → gear → Settings

What is on the Profile screen

Photo and name

The header identifies your profile. Tapping the avatar opens Settings, just like the gear on the right.

Followers / Following

The counters open people who follow you or people you follow. A new-follower badge shows people you have not reviewed yet.

Information icon

Explains how Untrack combines your ride profile, start, history and weather into today’s suggestion.

Today’s ready ride

Shows the current RidePilot recommendation. You can generate the route, adjust its settings or share the plan. If no start is set, Set start appears first.

Profile statistics

Saved routes, Completed activities, Total distance and Total elevation open Activity. Distance and elevation use rides marked as ridden.

Cycling Weather Pro

Shows conditions for current GPS or the saved home address. On Free, the card explains that detailed weather is a Pro feature.

Settings → Account

Email

Displays the address used by the signed-in account. It is informational; the login email cannot be changed from this screen.

Profile photo

Opens the iPhone photo library and lets you select and crop a square avatar used in the app. iOS photo access is required. The × action removes the saved avatar.

Plan

Shows Free, an active trial or Pro. Tapping it opens Subscription with the App Store price, purchase, restore and plan-management actions.

Settings → Preferences

Bike

Road, Gravel, MTB or City / e-bike affects surface, elevation and proposal scoring. Changing it also sets appropriate defaults for terrain, distance and calmer traffic on future routes.

City

Used for local rider suggestions, search and the location shown on your public profile. It is a general city, not an exact route start.

Home address

The exact point used as a route start and weather location. Selecting a result saves it and changes the default start from GPS to Home. The × action removes it and restores GPS. See the complete home-address guide.

Settings → Notifications

This section contains the master switch and six message types: Ideal ride time, Weather window, Weekend forecast, New area, How was the route? and Back on the bike. Four weather / discovery types require Pro; feedback and the inactivity reminder also work in Free. See the guide to all 7 switches.
