The latest BrevetCard releases

Newest first. Every version is a free update from Google Play or the App Store, and the app tells you when a new one is waiting.

  1. 5.32 September 2026 Latest

    Start when you are ready

    Events with no fixed departure

    Some rides do not happen on one morning: a permanent-style route ridden when the weather allows, a club event spread over a season. From 5.32 an organizer can run such an event with no fixed start. They register you, and you pick the day and time you leave, right after registering or later from the event page; every control and the finish open and close from the start you picked, and you may leave up to an hour after it. Events with a fixed start, and events that leave in waves, work exactly as before.

    • Change it until you start - move your start to any day and time right up to the moment you activate your card; after that only the organizer can. If you never pick one, the event simply stays open for you, and you are never marked DNS for a day you did not choose.
    • Waves still work - when an event starts in groups, you pick yours as you register, and your card shows your own start and your own control times.
    • Standings that are fair to every wave - from 5.33, riders are ranked by the time they rode from their own start, not by who crossed the line first, so a faster rider from a later wave or another day stands where they belong; on an event where riders choose their own start, every row says which day and time that rider left.
    • For organizers - on the Starts page in the web console, switch on Riders choose their own start, register the riders, and set or change a rider's start yourself whenever you need to. The event is live while any rider is out, and it stays open, and is billed, only when you close it.

    See the controls before you reach them

    Control photos, where you look

    Many organizers add a photo to each control point: the café door, the sign on the bridge, the counter where you get your stamp. Until now they sat behind a small icon, one control at a time. From 5.31 the event page shows each picture right above the control's name, and the ride page shows the control you are heading to. Events without control photos look exactly as before.

    • Full screen, the whole route - tap a photo to see it full screen with the control's name, and swipe through every control photo of the event in route order.
    • Your choice - photos are on by default; tap List on the event page, or switch off Control point photos in Settings, for the plain list. For the events you are registered for, the photos are saved on your phone, so they are there without a signal.
    • For organizers - nothing changes in the console. A photo you add to a control now shows where riders look, so a picture of the actual door or sign is worth the minute it takes.
  3. 5.30 September 2026

    Check in with your phone in your pocket

    Background check-in, no longer an experiment

    With the app closed, BrevetCard notices you have reached a control and checks you in - the same range around the control, the same opening and closing times, the same result on your card. In 5.21 it was off unless you went looking for it; from 5.30 the app asks you once, when you start your next ride. Say yes and your phone asks for location "all the time", which is what it needs; say no and it stays off, and you are not asked again. If you had already chosen, your choice stands, and Settings is the way back either way.

    • Sees you coming on Android - from 5.36 the app watches your approach for the whole stretch between controls, where it could ride past one and leave your card stuck on it. It uses a little more battery between controls than 5.35. And on both platforms a check-in made without signal is now kept until it can be sent.
    • Holds between controls on an iPhone - from 5.35 the app keeps its location running for the whole ride, where iOS used to put it to sleep between controls and a control could be missed. The blue location indicator now stays on until you finish; far from a control the app asks only for the rough position the phone network gives. Android is unchanged.
    • Live now - a new page with every event on the road right now: how many riders are out and how many have finished, then each event's standings and On the Road feed, your own events first. An event shows from two hours before its start until two hours after its finish closes.
    • Home tells you when a newer version is out - with a line about what is new, an Update button and a Later that means it. Nothing shows during a ride.
    • For organizers - expect more check-ins while riders are still riding; each is judged by your controls' range and times like any other, and manual check-in works as before. Your event appears on Live now while it runs, once at least one rider is registered.
  4. 5.29 September 2026

    Your account, in the app

    Change your password and e-mail address from Profile

    Two things about your account always lived outside the app: a new password, or a new sign-in address, meant a website and then signing in again. From 5.29 both are rows under Account on your Profile page. A new password signs every other device out and keeps the one in your hand signed in; a new address gets a six-digit code and takes over only once you use it, so a typo changes nothing. Nothing about riding changes.

    • Register and Forgot password bring you back - the sign-in screen's links open BrevetCard's own pages, in the app's languages, and you return to the app signed in instead of typing the password you just chose.
    • A used sign-in link says so - instead of claiming the e-mail could not be sent. If you are already signed in when one opens, the app says nothing at all.
    • For organizers - the console has no screen for either change; the app's Profile page works for any account, and a rider who changes their address keeps the same account, cards and registrations.
  5. 5.25 September 2026

    Ask BrevetCard

    Ask a question in your own words

    A place in the app where you ask in plain language and get a plain answer - what the check-in radius does, why a card shows a missed control, what happens when you lose signal. It can look up your own events, your card and your results while it answers, and it understands Hungarian as well as English.

    • It finds a brevet by where it starts - ask about a town and a day, and since October 2026 it searches each event's start address as well as its name, reads đ and dj as the same letter, and tries the day and country by itself when the words find nothing.
    • It only sees your own data - every lookup is limited to your account. There is no way to ask it about another rider.
    • It can be wrong, and says so - under every answer there is a button to tell us when it was, and one to say it helped. Since October 2026 we can write back about what you told us, by e-mail.
    • Organizers have it on the web too - ask how to import participants, or how many riders have registered for your next event.

Since BrevetCard 4.8 · May 2026

On the Road

Share the ride as it happens

Every brevet is more than distance. It is the sunrise start, the quiet roads, the checkpoint moments, the views you did not expect, and the joy collected kilometer by kilometer.

With On the Road, riders can post a photo, add a caption, share where they are, and let others follow the story while it unfolds.

For riders

Share ride moments directly from BrevetCard during the event.

For supporters

Family, friends, teammates, and loved ones can feel closer from home.

For organizers

Enable the feature per event in the event editor.

On the Map

See where riders have been posting across every public event at once, with the photos and the routes they were taken on right there on the map. It shows places rather than people: areas, not addresses, and no rider is named. No account needed.
