What’s New in 2.0
- Added Horizon Check with live compass direction, altitude gauge, and device-level horizon guidance.
- Added curated Horizon Labels for selected cities and a city picker filter to find them.
- Improved Eclipse Details with clearer timing, visibility, weather, and historical viewing context.
- Added more supported viewing locations, including Paredes de Nava.
- Improved iPad layout, weather forecast tap behavior, translations, and overall UI polish.
Totality Map: Elevation data
Tap any city in the app’s city list, or any point in the totality path, to see altitude, latitude, and longitude. City elevations appear instantly, and custom points can fetch live elevation data.
Landscape mode improvements
Fixed a crash when opening the Totality Map in landscape on some older devices. Also improved the tap result card layout to avoid the notch and Dynamic Island when rotated.
Enhanced the City Picker with corrected Best and Great spot badges, plus a quick clear button in search.
Added helpful info buttons for Historical Viewing and Sun Altitude.
Added Best Spots viewing lists for Spain and Iceland.
Fixed incomplete translations.
Improved eclipse accuracy across the app with corrected local timings, totality/partial phase details, and magnitude values for all supported cities. This update also refreshes city notes and viewing details so eclipse coverage information is more consistent and reliable throughout the app.
Expanded eclipse coverage with 40 new cities across Iceland, France, Portugal, Ireland, the UK, Italy, Morocco, and Algeria. Added historical weather for every new city, updated totality/partial classifications using verified eclipse calculations, and polished the city picker so metric values now use consistent text sizing.
This update adds historical weather insights for eclipse planning, including Aug 12 cloud history, a new historical cloud score, and a dedicated Historical Weather view. We also improved Compare Spots, added historical weather inside the weather sheet, and refined the app’s menus and overall UI.
Added eclipse phase-specific reminders
Added a saved shortlist and compare mode for candidate viewing spots from the city picker
Added Best Spot and Great Spot recommendations to help identify strong eclipse viewing locations
Added sorting options for the city picker list
Reworked eclipse timing engine to sync moon motion and countdowns with each city’s C1/C2/MAX/C3/C4 timings.
Improved moon behavior, phase labels, and countdown states across partial/totality transitions, including totality duration handling
Polished UI/UX: better marker/label spacing, safer banner behavior/positioning, dynamic type layout tuning, and localization for newly added texts.
New city markers (toggle on/off) and improved map interaction.
Added more Spain cities and improved city picker performance.
Full-screen Totality Path map with faster city search.
- New full-screen Eclipse Details with richer local timing data (C1/C2/Max/C3/C4, magnitude, altitude, sunset).
- Improved map interaction: tap inside the totality band to see predicted local contact times.
