Install & update
Along Cast is a free iPhone beta for iOS 26 or later. Install Apple’s TestFlight app, then open the Along Cast invitation on your iPhone.
New here? The beta guide walks through installation and your first route.
The beta is full, unavailable, or expired
Open TestFlight and check whether Along Cast has a newer build. If the invitation says the beta is full or no longer accepting testers, installation is not currently available through that link. Try the same invitation again later.
The website previews the next beta. The build currently offered in TestFlight may have fewer features or look different.
Routes & forecasts
A route or forecast won’t load
- Check your internet connection. New routes and fresh forecasts need a connection.
- Check that both place results are in the right town or country, then try planning again.
- If the app says data is unavailable, partial, or old, treat it that way. Try again later rather than assuming the route is clear.
If it keeps happening, send a report with the error message and the steps that led to it.
My current location is wrong or unavailable
In iPhone Settings, open Privacy & Security → Location Services → Along Cast. Check that location access is allowed; Precise Location helps position the route accurately.
You can also search for a starting place and destination yourself. Planning with chosen places does not require your current location.
Apple Maps shows a different route
Along Cast passes your starting point, destination, and travel mode to Apple Maps. Apple Maps calculates its own route, which may differ from the one whose weather you reviewed. Check that route before starting navigation.
I can’t see road reports or cameras
The Trafikverket road layer covers Sweden and is intended for driving. Check that road information is enabled in Along Cast’s settings. Reports and cameras also depend on provider coverage and service availability.
A missing report does not mean there is no hazard. Look at the source and update time, and follow current road-authority guidance.
Reminders & monitoring
A departure reminder is a notification for a time you choose. Trip monitoring, where available, separately checks for material changes before departure. A reminder does not confirm that conditions were checked.
I haven’t received a notification
- In iPhone Settings → Apps → Along Cast → Notifications, check Allow Notifications and Banners.
- Check Focus and Scheduled Summary settings, which can silence or delay alerts.
- For trip monitoring, open your upcoming trip and check its last successful check and current status.
No notification does not mean there was a successful check or that conditions are safe. If status is out of date, use Retry status check. Where offered, use Refresh route and forecast to review your plan.
How often does trip monitoring check?
Weather is checked when monitoring is enabled, then every six hours until three hours before departure, hourly after that, and once more thirty minutes before departure. A trip added later starts with an immediate check.
For driving in Sweden, road reports are checked when monitoring starts and every fifteen minutes in the final hour. Checks depend on service availability and limits; they are not continuous monitoring.
The service compares the route checkpoints you chose. It does not automatically reroute you or change your arrival estimate.
Monitoring is unavailable, or I want to stop it
Monitoring needs a supported app build, an available service, and a separate opt-in. Scheduling a trip alone does not turn it on.
Open the upcoming trip and choose Stop monitoring. If cancellation is pending, reconnect and wait for confirmation: the server has not necessarily received an offline request. Monitoring also ends when the service receives a trip cancellation, replacement, or start, and at departure.
An alert already handed to Apple’s notification service may still arrive after you stop monitoring.
Report a problem
Open TestFlight → Along Cast → Send Beta Feedback. You can also take a screenshot inside Along Cast and choose Share Beta Feedback from the screenshot menu.
- Say what you expected and what actually happened.
- Include the steps to reproduce it and your app and iOS versions.
- Add a screenshot if it helps. Crop or cover private addresses and other personal information first.
- Include an email address in TestFlight’s feedback form if you would like a reply.
Please do not include passwords, device credentials, or an active shared-drive link. A description of the problem is a better starting point.
Accessibility problems are welcome too: tell us the text size, VoiceOver setting, or control you were using.
