What’s new in Fuel

March 2026

NewImprovedFixed
  • New fasting experience on Today with a live fasting tile, zone progress, detailed timeline, notification controls, and 10 achievements.
  • Redesigned date picker with color-coded daily progress rings and smoother week swiping.
  • Fixed unit display fallback so weight and weekly-review views now honor your app unit preference, and fall back to device defaults instead of forcing metric.
  • Meal cards on your timeline now show photo thumbnails, descriptions, and a color-coded quality rating so you can see how your day is shaping up at a glance.
  • Your coach now leaves a personalized note after each meal, visible in your Health Grade detail — like having a nutritionist review every plate.
  • If a meal log doesn't go through, it stays on your timeline as a pending card you can retry or cancel — nothing gets lost.
  • Workouts on Today now display active calories burned, so you see the full picture of your energy balance.
  • Plan Progress separates your weekly calendar from your goal forecast for a clearer sense of where you are and where you're headed.
  • Various fixes: smoother fasting completion, faster widget refreshes, and more reliable data on reopen.
NewImprovedFixed
  • Health Grade is now morning-friendly with smoother calorie pacing, consistent deficit/surplus numbers, faster refreshes on reopen, and clean letter-grade badges.
  • Drink detection is now smarter — meals with drink-related words (like "coffee with eggs") no longer get misclassified, and previous days correctly show logged food.

  • Fixed onboarding restart sometimes jumping back to Today instead of resuming setup.

  • Fixed crashes when taking photos, loading saved data, and recovering from errors to keep the app running smoothly.
Fixed
  • Fixed a migration issue that could clear local profile data on upgrade; profile and plan data now migrate safely to the latest schema.
  • Fixed a hydration-classification bug where foods with parenthetical ingredient aliases (for example, water spinach) could be misidentified as beverages.
  • Improved hydration/nutrition logging separation so accidental drink classification no longer causes nutrient logging inconsistencies.
NewFixed
  • Added Smart Weigh-in reminders with a dedicated toggle, 3-day recency suppression, anti-nag delivery cooldown, and direct deep link to weight logging.
  • Weekly Coach Review now waits until your first full eligible week, so new-week onboarding no longer shows an empty prior-week review.
