Original release notes

The headline: local events discovery

The Fun tab went from a stub to a full feed — fairs, story times, farm days, festivals and shows near you, from Ticketmaster plus Fáilte Ireland. Filters by month, price and outing type. Event artwork on every card. A detail sheet with dates, ages, prices, distance, directions and a link to the source. Bubble layout as an alternative to cards.

Also new (these were missing from my first draft)
Worldwide place search — the map now works anywhere, not just near home
First-launch tour + quick-start options
System appearance — follows your phone's light/dark, on by default
Home city setting drives the events feed
Configurable saved-places limit
Fixes
Duplicate tab bar behind the custom one (found and fixed today)
Search field sliding off-screen while typing (fixed today)
WeatherKit attribution — the Guideline 5.2.5 rejection fix
Feed sorts nearest-first; region-correct currency; AI summary no longer repeats the place description
