01 · Install the beta

  1. Get TestFlight

    Install Apple’s TestFlight app on an iPhone running iOS 26 or later.

  2. Open the invitation

    Open the Along Cast beta invitation on that iPhone, accept the invitation, and install the available build.

  3. Check for updates

    TestFlight shows new builds and their expiry. If a build expires, install a newer one when available. If the beta is full, check the installation help.

02 · Plan a familiar journey

Choose your starting place and destination, then check the travel mode and departure time. You can search for both places yourself, or allow location access to start where you are.

Open Trip plan to change the route, travel choices and timing together. Choose Now, Leave at or Arrive by, then tap Update trip to apply your changes. Cancel keeps the existing plan. Your usual travel choices live separately in Settings.

Keep the source in view

Swedish weather warnings come from SMHI. Trafikverket road reports and cameras cover Sweden where available. A gap in coverage or an old update is a reason to check again, not an all-clear.

03 · Check the route weather

Open Weather table from the route summary. Check each place’s estimated passing time, temperature, rain chance, precipitation and wind. Select a row to see it on the map or open Full weather details.

The table is also available in the Along Cast trip view. Select a place ahead to preview its forecast, then use Back to live to return to your current trip position. Apple Maps provides separate turn-by-turn directions and may calculate a different route.

Set up the trip while parked. Forecasts and road reports help you prepare; actual conditions and official guidance should guide decisions on the road.

Choose what to turn on

A departure reminder

Schedule a notification for your chosen time. It is a reminder to prepare, not confirmation that the forecast has been checked again.

Trip monitoring, where available

Enable it separately on an upcoming trip to check for material weather changes and, for driving in Sweden, nearby road reports. The trip shows its last successful check. Read about checks and notifications.

A shared drive

Share only if you want someone else to see your plan. Anyone with the link can open it. Live location is a separate choice; review the sharing details first.

Tell us what happened

The most useful feedback is specific: “I chose 10:00, but the main button still says leave now” gives us something to investigate.

  1. Open TestFlight → Along Cast → Send Beta Feedback, or take an in-app screenshot and choose Share Beta Feedback.
  2. Explain what you tried, what you expected, and what happened. Cover private information in screenshots.
  3. Include an email address in the feedback form if you would like a reply.

For a problem you want to resolve now, start with Support.
