Original release notes

Guides, everywhere you need them

Nightlog now explains itself. A short tour runs the first time you open the app, and every tab has an in-depth guide covering the parts that aren't obvious: why your gear goes in before the calculators are useful, what the ≈ beside an aperture means on a variable zoom, how one shoot can belong to more than one trip. Tap ? in any tab header, or open Profile → Guide & tour to read them again or replay the tour.

Fixed: dates outside the Americas

If your device is set to a timezone at or east of UTC, a shoot's date could appear a day early in a trip, and move a day earlier each time you opened and saved it. Dates now read the same on every screen. This update doesn't alter your saved dates but if one drifted before now, set it again and it will hold.

Also in this release

The tour, the guides and every empty screen stay readable at the largest accessibility text sizes.
