Let’s Roll 1.1 is our smoothest ride yet 😎
We hope you’re gonna like it

Hey there! First of all, thank you so much once again for helping us test the Let’s Roll App. We really appreciate it. Secondly – we know that it’s been a little while since our last update, but we had some big complex projects we had to tackle to move on, and we are now finally ready to share them with you.

Let’s Roll 1.1 focuses on a number of core functions that we wanted to put in place to pave the way for future improvements. Here’s what’s new:
Recording activity indicators

When a session is in progress Let’s Roll will show a notification on the lock screen reminding you about it to make sure you finish the session when you stop skating

While you are in the app, if a session is ongoing, you will see a activity indicator in the form of a small rollerskate around the notch ( iPhone 14 ) or a spinning LR button ( all other phones )
New session recording logic

You can now minimize a session in progress and continue to use the app while in a skate session. To reopen the session, simply tap the LR button

We now record GPS data locally while the session is in progress, and only upload it at the end. This means that you should not worry about the quality of internet connection while you are skating
Delete multiple sessions

It is now possible to select and delete multiple sessions from you profile by tapping and holding a session
Bigger updates are coming soon

1.1 is mainly a technical foundation for all the exciting stuff we are planning, and we hope to be able to put out the next major update to Let’s Roll already later this month. So stay tuned. Meanwhile, let’s get you updated so you can take 1.1 for a roll:

The Androids are coming 🤖

Take us to your Skate Spot!

First of all: Thank you so much for your patience. During the last few months, you signed up for Let’s Roll App – but we had to tell you to wait since our Android app is not ready for testing yet.

Today we are finally ready to reveal what has been a stealth project of ours for the last 6 months. The Android version of Let’s Roll is really taking shape, and we feel confident that we will be able to share it with you before the end of the year. Check it out:

Wanna make sure you see it when we do release it? We will be mailing out – but we also recommend signing up on to follow us on your favourite social media – this way there is a better chance we won’t miss you when the time comes:

Are you at Skate Love Festival?

If so, we got some swag for you 🧦👕

This year, the Let’s Roll Team is back at Skate Love Barcelona – and on Sunday we have a tent in the market where we will be giving away a lot of socks to everyone that has signed up for the Let’s Roll App and comes by our tent. So if you are there, make sure you pay us a visit, and we will get you a pair of super cool LR socks, stickers and the opportunity to win cool prizes including T-shirts and skate gear.

We also really want to take this opportunity to meet our users, get your feedback and ideas for the Let’s Roll app and hear about your experience as a roller skater in general.

And if you don’t know about Skate Love Barcelona, or you did not have the opportunity to go this year – take some time to check out this amazing event, and consider going next year. We cannot recommend it enough: https://www.skatelovebcn.com/

Hope to see you on Sunday!

Let’s Roll 0.9 is here

New roller skate features for all 🤗

Update Now! 🚀

Dear Let’s Roll Beta testers,

It has been some time coming, but we are finally ready to release the next beta version of the Let’s Roll app to all of you. This update has cost some serious blood, sweat, and tears, and we are very proud of what we have accomplished. Read on to learn about all the new features:

Privacy Settings

One of the most common feedbacks you have given us on the Let’s Roll App is the need to control privacy when you are skating and manage how much information other users can see about your activity. In Let’s Roll 0.9, we have built a completely new privacy system, which allows you to control your privacy setting in great detail – both as global settings on your account, but also on a session-by-session basis.

Comments on session posts

We are finally able to open up the commenting session so you can let your fellow skaters know how much you dig the sessions they are sharing – or in case you have a question to one of your fellow skaters. Update your app and go show some love for your skate fam.

Let’s Update 🤗

Getting started guide for new users

It is very important to us that new skaters joining the Let’s Roll App get the best possible experience. To make sure everyone gets going from day one, we are adding a short checklist that tries to teach new users about the app. If you are an existing user of the app you will get it again, but you can just go ahead and skip it if you don’t feel the need.

Navigate to locations on the discover map

To make it easier to go check out locations with skating activity on the discover map, we are now adding the possibility to tap the map and open navigation directly in Google or Apple maps. We realize that we still have some way to go to make the Discover map shine, but we will continue working on it, and are taking this small step already now.

Improved edit and delete function

Another common feedback from you all was the fact that it should be possible to edit skating sessions. Ironically, this has been possible for months – but we realized it was badly designed and none of you could find it. In 0.9 we are making both edit and delete functions on sessions much more obvious so hopefully, everyone can find it.

Come on, we know you want to update 😉

Lots and lots of bugfixes

You have been testing, we have been testing, and so many bugs and potential improvements have been discovered. 0.9 fixes a long list of small issues, and hopefully represents a more stable and useful skating experience for everyone.

We cannot say how happy we are for all of your efforts in helping us test this app. We could quite simply not have done it without you. We hope you will all take the new version for a roll as soon as you can – and we cannot wait to hear what you think about it.

See you out there!
