Challenges got a complete makeover. The whole flow — from browsing to completing tasks — has been rebuilt to be clearer, more fun, and easier to follow.

Improved

Challenge detail screen with banner image, organization logo, participant count, and clear status indicators so you always know where things stand
Challenge headers now feature the same topo line background treatment as the iOS app
Task cards that show distance, location, and badges for every challenge state: open, upcoming, expired, and completed
Filterable task list lets you switch between All, Completed, and To-Do views
Full leaderboard with your current position highlighted
Organizations can now turn social features on or off for their challenges
The About section adapts based on whether you've joined a challenge — it shows as a popup before joining and as a tab after
The bottom action button updates automatically based on challenge state, so the next step is always obvious
Posting, leaderboards, and social features now work consistently across all task types: Check-In, QR Code, and Survey
Enrolled users can now see when they started participating in a challenge, with polished card layout and background styling that matches iOS
Challenge badges use the same opacity treatment as iOS for locked and unearned states
Challenge dates and times are now formatted consistently with iOS across all screens, including challenge cards
Cleaner challenge header — the "About the Challenge" section has moved out of the header to match the iOS layout
Organization logos now use the same unrounded circle style as iOS throughout the app, including location detail screens
Quick filter labels on the Home screen now wrap cleanly instead of getting cut off
The Explore map auto-zooms to your current location when you first open it after loading or switching to a community — falls back to community bounds if you're outside the area or location access is off
Consistent spacing on the Home and Organizations screens so cards, badges, and sections line up nicely

Fixed

Resolved a stability issue in the background analytics layer that could cause the app to close unexpectedly
Improved app responsiveness by removing a bottleneck that could cause the interface to freeze during background data updates
The "Open & Upcoming Challenges" carousel on the Home screen now shows up reliably when the app first loads
Swiping down on the leaderboard bottom sheet now dismisses it as expected
Removed empty space at the bottom of the Me > Challenges tab
Removed extra white space below the community Home header
Organization logos layered over profile photos no longer show a transparent background
The challenge header no longer takes up the full screen, so tabs and content below it are always visible
Badge share images now capture the actual badge instead of occasionally showing a placeholder overlay
