What’s New Version 1.0.8
Cleared a few paths and smoothed out the bumps in the road. Your rig rides better this trip out.
Description
You crest a ridge. The rig heaves. The horizon drops. You know you climbed something — but how high?
BuckUp Altimeter answers that question. It is a barometric altimeter built for off-road drives, overland trips, and trail days. A dashboard for the vertical you earned.
THE GAUGE
The center of the app is a single screen: current altitude, vertical gain in this session, and a Buck count — one Buck for every 1,000 feet of ascent. Drop a SADDLE UP, drive, drop a LOG IT. The gauge keeps reading whether your screen is on, off, or sleeping in your cup holder.
BAROMETRIC + GPS
BuckUp fuses GPS altitude with the iPhone's barometric pressure sensor for vertical readings that hold up in canyons, under tree cover, and on switchbacks where pure GPS goes soft. The barometer measures change. The GPS anchors absolute. Together they read the trail.
CARPLAY WIDGET (UNLOCK)
Pin the BuckUp widget to your CarPlay or Home Screen. Live altitude, current Bucks, peak of the day — refreshed in near real time during an active session. One-time $12.99 unlock.
LIVE ACTIVITY (UNLOCK)
Drive without picking up the phone. The Live Activity puts altitude on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island for the duration of a session. Tap-free. Glance-friendly. One-time $12.99 unlock.
BUNDLE
Get the Widget and Live Activity together for $19.99. Save 23% versus buying them separately.
PEAK LOGS
Log a session and BuckUp keeps it: start time, peak altitude, vertical gain, duration. No quotas, no streaks, no "you missed a day" guilt. Just a quiet history of where you went.
BUCK SHOTS
Generate a shareable summit card from any logged session. Your rig, your callsign, your numbers — built to drop into a group chat or post to a forum. You decide what gets shared.
RIG PROFILES
Set up your rig once: year, make, model, trim. Lifted Bronco, stock Tacoma, slant-window Wrangler — pick what you drive. Your rig shows up on every Buck Shot.
CARPLAY WIDGET
The BuckUp widget surfaces in CarPlay too. Pin the widget on your iPhone — your dashboard inherits it. Live altitude in the rig, glance-grade, no fumbling.
PRIVACY
Location and altimeter data are read in real time and used in-session. Nothing about where you went is sold, profiled, or fed to an ad network. Account is optional and powered by Sign in with Apple, Google, or email — your choice. Full privacy policy at buckup.app/privacy.
WHAT'S NEXT (V1.1)
Crew Mode is on the roadmap — a way to share altitude with the rigs in your convoy in real time. v1.0 ships solo. v1.1 brings the crew.
REQUIREMENTS
- iPhone with barometric pressure sensor (iPhone 6 and later)
- iOS 18 or later for Live Activity and widget features
