Search is here 🔎

Time to add those insta friends

We heard it from you again and again – “Why can’t I search for another skater if I know their skate name?”. Well, now you can. Let’s Roll 1.7 adds search and new map options so you can add all those skate friends that are not living around the corner. Let’s connect across continents 💪🌏

Search for other skaters

When we designed the Discover People page, we were mainly thinking about finding other skaters in the local area. We didn’t think about the fact that many of you have skate friends in other countries through social media or travels already. Now we are adding search by skatename, so you can add those long distance skate friends in Let’s Roll App too. Happy searching!

New map settings galore

Now that we have gotten both heatmaps and skate spots brought together on the Discover map, we wanted to do something to make the Discover map easier to use. Therefore, we are now extending it with several filters and settings so you can get the best view when scoping for good skate spots.

Ready to update to Let’s Roll 1.7? Head to the AppStore for the latest version!

Not on iPhone? The Android Beta version might not have search, but it’s catching up fast!

Posts, push notification & more

We know, Let’s Roll for Android is always lagging a bit behind the iPhone version. It started later, and it will be catching up for a while yet to come.
For that reason we are all the more pleased to share that today we are taking a major step in the right direction. Let’s Roll Beta 0.6 for Android is available now – and it improves in a lot of areas.

Post updates without tracking

With the new update, posting is now available to let you share updates without the community without requiring you to track a skate session first. Share a pic of your new wheels or upload some images from a past session. The choice is yours.

Push notifications

0.6 Adds full support for push notifications so you can be kept up to date without having to open the app. This includes:
– When your friends share a post or session
– New friendship requests
– When some one likes or comments hour posts or sessions

Apart from the above, Let’s Roll 0.6 also comes with support for background tracking of skate sessions, allowing you to use the app even if a session is in progress. It also includes an enormous amount of bug fixes and minor improvements.

It started as a sketch ✏️

Skate spots are finally here

Two years ago, we sketched a map we hoped to create. A map that allowed any skater to find places to skate wherever they went.

A year later, we invited the first beta testers to our app that could generate activity maps from roller skating activity, and now after two years in the works, we are finally ready to take the next step.

Explore skate spots across the world

We have crawled the interwebs ( ok, we used Google like everyone else 😅 ) to bring you more than 15.000 skate parks worldwide. Go exploring and use the heatmap to find the places where the Let’s Roll community is already active.

Add your own spots to the map

Google does not know that there is a great parking lot right next to your office with the smoothest asphalt the world has ever known. Skate there, and when you’re done, use the new spot system to share that hidden gem with others.

Ready to discover skate spots? Update Let’s Roll to 1.6 now. The feature is only available on iPhone for now.

We need those 🌟s
Please help us bring Let’s Roll to the top 🙏

Hey, there skater! We just launched Let’s Roll into the AppStore last week, and now we really need your help.
We could not have done it without you and the other beta testers believing in us, and we want as many skaters as possible to join you. That will be much easier if we have some reviews which show that we are the real deal. Please help us by:
- Installing the Let’s Roll App from the Apple App Store
- Write us a ( hopefully ) great review with as many stars as you can spare
We are counting on you!

Keep Rolling!

The new version is out 😍
Let’s Roll 1.4 is safer and easier than ever

This week we are launching Let’s Roll 1.4 to our beta community. The primary goal of this release has been to add more safety to our social functions and polish off the usability of the recently released friendship system. Here is what we did:

All skater profiles now have a special section for seeing the friends you have made in the Let’s Roll App and the friends of other profiles. Hopefully, this will inspire even more connections between skaters and make it easier for you all to keep track of your skatefam.

The notification icon now shows an “unread” indicator to help you know when you have incoming messages or friend requests.

And we have added functions to both the post and the skater profile that allows you to respectively report objectionable content that other skaters are posting as well as block specific skater profiles whose messages you do not want to see. This will help keep our community safe as we go to the App Store this month.

Other changes in 1.4
- Skate sessions on the community or friend feed now show the first part of their description directly in the feed
- Placeholders for broken notifications
- Implemented pull-to-refresh for any users page
- Removed birth date from the “My Profile” page
- Tons of bug-fixes and improvements

Skating less during winter? 🥶

It sucks when it’s wet and cold

If you are located in the Northern hemisphere you are probably struggling to keep your skating going these days, and your Let’s Roll sessions are becoming further in between.

But that’s no reason to lose touch with your local skate community. Why not share an update on your latest bearing tuning experiments or how great you look in the new skates your gonna get for Christmas?

Let’s Roll 1.3 adds a new concept to the app: Posts allow everyone to share a simple text and image update with the community without having to GPS record a session. It’s great for those days when the weather is against you – and it also works if you just forgot to record your session and still want others to see it.

Here is how it works:

Oh yeah – and we also fixed a LOT of bugs 🕷 – did you have problems saving session or getting inaccurate tracking? It should be fixed now, and if it’s not we really hope you will help us find out 🙏

Ready to build your skatefam?

Let’s Roll 1.2 is here to help!

It’s been months in the making, but we are proud to finally release a new update to the Let’s Roll App. Read all about it below or watch the short recap video.

Find new skate friends

You can now send a friendship request to your favorite skaters. If they accept you will get their sessions in a special feed under the home tab so you can always keep up to date with their skating.

Get notified when your friends are skating

Whenever a skater that you are friends with shares a new session you will automatically be notified. This way you will always know what is going on!

New notifications and notification screen

To keep track of the increasing number of messages, we are also adding a new notification screen so you can see all your notifications in one place.

Keep your account or your sessions “friends only”

Safety and privacy are some of our most important priorities in the Let’s Roll App, and the friend system now opens the possibility to let you decide exactly who sees which part of the content you are sharing. You control this setting for your entire account, or even on a session-by-session basis.
