Stride

Hype check. Guys, excited for tomorrow's giveaway?

🎁 TOMORROW IS GIVEAWAY DAY. TEN PEOPLE ARE GETTING LUCKY. 😏

Tomorrow at 4:00 PM IST, I’m dropping the 100% OFF Stride Premium coupon.

One coupon.

10 redemptions.

A whole lot of people trying to get in first.

For a few glorious seconds, this fitness community is going to stop caring about steps and start caring about speed, stamina and finishing first. 💀

A few survival tips for tomorrow:

• Update Stride beforehand

• Keep Telegram open

• Keep the Premium purchase page ready

• Make sure your internet doesn’t suddenly go soft when you need it most

• Warm up those fingers

🚶 Stride v1.0.10 — Looking Glass is now on GitHub!

If you’re already part of the Stride Closed Testing program on Google Play, you can update to v1.0.10 from GitHub as well. 💚

The GitHub APK will update your existing Stride installation in place, so your:

• Step history

• Settings

• Premium status should stay intact.

⬇️ Download v1.0.10:
https://github.com/NikhilKain/stride/releases/tag/v1.0.10

This release brings the new Looking Glass update with improved step accuracy, better watch/Health Connect handling, the new Liquid Glass visuals, new app icons, animations, Live Updates and more.

🧪 Closed testers: you can keep testing Stride normally after updating from GitHub. Just make sure you remain opted into the Play Store testing program for the full testing period.

If anything looks wrong after updating, send me your phone/watch model + Step Source shown in Settings and I’ll check it. 💚

🚶 Stride v1.0.10 — Looking Glass is out!

This one is all about accurate counts, plus the biggest visual update yet (v1.0.9 never went out on GitHub, so you get both at once).

🎯 More accurate steps
• Watch first: wear a watch or band? Stride now counts from it on days it syncs, and from your phone's own counter otherwise. The two are never added together any more, so no more doubled walks.
• Bus, car and auto rides filtered properly: Accurate step filtering now works with Health Connect too, and catches steps the phone delivers late with the screen off.
• Tested side by side with a CMF watch: Stride matched the watch exactly ✅

✨ New look
• Liquid glass nav bar, and glass cards for Classic and Verdant (Premium)
• 6 app icons to choose from
• Rolling numbers, badge celebrations, bouncy scrolling
• Height in ft/in, weight in lb
• Widgets now use Stride's fonts
• Live Updates show your step count

After updating, check Settings → Step source shows Automatic (the new default). If you picked a source by hand before, it's kept.

⬇️ Download v1.0.10 from GitHub: https://github.com/NikhilKain/stride/releases/tag/v1.0.10
It updates your current version in place, and your history and Premium stay.

🚀 Stride is coming to Google Play!

We’re finally preparing to launch Stride on the Google Play Store. 💚

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we can’t publish the final public version immediately, and the full release may take around 1–2 months.

But in the meantime, you can try Stride directly from Google Play for the next 3 weeks — until 22 October 2026 while the app is in Closed Testing.

The version currently available on Google Play is Stride v1.0.9, which is a pre-release testing build. It is not the final Play Store release, so you may encounter a few bugs or unfinished changes while using it.

🧪 How to join the test
1. Join our Google testing group

Go to:
https://groups.google.com/

Join this group:
testers-community@googlegroups.com

2. After joining the group, open Stride on Google Play

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vythera.stride

3. Install Stride → Unlock Premium → Enjoy! ✨

Make sure you’re using the same Google account for joining the Google Group and opening the Play Store link.

⚠️ The Closed Testing version will be available for around 3 weeks. After the testing period ends, this build may stop working and you may need to wait for the official public release.

🎁 And if you like Stride Premium, don’t forget to participate in our upcoming giveaway! You’ll have a chance to get Stride Premium for free. 👀

💚 Closed Testing until 22 October 2026
🧪 Current Play Store build: v1.0.9 Pre-release
🚀 Public release expected in around 1–2 months

Thanks for helping us test Stride before the official launch! 🚶✨

Something fresh is coming to Stride 👀✨
Don’t forget to claim your 100% OFF Premium coupon on 3 Oct, 4 PM IST — only 10 redemptions. 🎁
Update to v1.0.8 and check the giveaway rules above.

Stride 1.0.9 is almost here 🌿

A quick heads-up before it lands. Starting with this update, Stride's installable APK is registered with Google under Android's new developer verification.

Android now expects every app, including ones shared outside the Play Store, to come from a developer who has signed up with Google. Without it, Stride would eventually stop installing on most phones. Leaving you stuck was never an option, so we've done what's needed.

It isn't quite the Android we fell in love with, where you could build something, share it, and that was enough. But keeping Stride in your hands matters more to us than how we feel about the paperwork. 🙂

What this means for you: nothing changes. Same app, same privacy, no accounts, no tracking. Updates install over your current version as always.

🎁 And don't forget the giveaway! On 3 October at 4:00 PM IST we're posting one 100% off coupon for Stride Premium, good for the first 10 redemptions. See the giveaway post above for how to redeem, and keep Stride updated so you're ready at 4. 👀

Full changelog coming with the release. Thanks for sticking with us 💚

Make sure all people do join our chatroom, there is a possibility that we might provide some surprises over there in future exclusively!!

🎁 STRIDE PREMIUM GIVEAWAY — 3 OCTOBER 2026

The giveaway will go live on 3 October 2026 at 4:00 PM IST. 🔥

I will be posting one 100% discount coupon for Stride Premium.

The same coupon can be redeemed 10 times only, so the first 10 successful redemptions will get Stride Premium completely free.

A few important things to know:

* This will NOT be a Premium key.

* It will be a 100% discount coupon that you need to apply while purchasing Stride Premium.

* Open Stride → Settings → Get Stride Premium.

* Tap the purchase option and open the website.

* Enter the giveaway coupon in the discount/coupon field.

* Apply the coupon and complete the purchase. The final amount should become 100% discounted.

* The coupon will NOT be tap-to-copy in the Telegram post. You will need to manually type it or select/copy the text and paste it on the website.

* Make sure you update Stride to the latest version — v1.0.8 — before the giveaway. Older versions may not work correctly with the Premium purchase flow.

⚠️ Only 10 redemptions will be available. Once all 10 are used, the coupon will stop working.

🚶 Stride v1.0.8 — Kinetic Flow

Thanks to everyone who reported mismatched counts and confusing source settings.
This update focuses on those problems.

• Fixed phone counter handling for duplicate/delayed readings and reboots.
• Removed the old behavior that could keep a higher phone count above the selected
Health Connect total.
• Improved vehicle filtering, and stopped applying it to imported watch/Health
Connect steps.
• Fixed tab-switching glitches and made walk controls easier to reach, with clearer
map and location feedback.

Four new widgets: Pocket, Orbit, Daily and Week, alongside the existing
Adaptive widget. Pick a compact step-and-distance tile, a goal ring, a daily
stats card or a seven-day chart. Add several at once from **Home screen →
Widgets → Stride**. The widget pack is free.

The defaults: Health Connect, vehicle filtering ON, write-back OFF.
Synced watch/band steps take priority through Health Connect. Stride's phone
pedometer runs only when you choose This phone.

Already using Stride? Install the update, then tap **Settings → Reset step
settings** to apply these defaults. Your history, goals and Premium stay intact.
Classic, Retro and Verdant remain; there's no new theme in this release.

Sync your watch in its companion app before comparing counts. Bluetooth pairing
alone does not send its steps to Health Connect, and sync delays can still happen.

⬇️ Download latest release

If a count still looks wrong, send your phone/watch model, selected source and
whether it happened during walking or a vehicle journey. That helps me reproduce it.
