See you out here!
v3.0.7iOS
We've fixed a mistake that caused the user-entered settings to fail to save.
v3.0.6iOS
We've fixed a bug that got past us in the last build. Now the sight planner again shows you the names of the objects in the sky!
v3.0.5iOS
We've updated the magnetic deviation model for 2025, and fixed some minor typos and bugs in the app.
v3.0.4iOS
We've been busy fixing bugs and making the app better!
