  1. v1.0.3iOS
    Push Notifications
    
    -Fixed broken notifications showing UTC time, 0° elevation, and 0s duration — now uses recomputed pass data with latest TLEs
    -Notification messages now show relative time ("in ~15 min") instead of absolute times
    -Timing info appears in both title and body so it's always visible
    -Widened TLE drift tolerance (±30 min search window) so notifications aren't silently dropped
    -all_passes notifications now only fire for visible passes above 10° elevation
    -Single-pass alert dialog adjusts text when pass is less than 15 min away (no longer says "15 minutes before" when that's impossible)
    
    Notification Tap Deep Linking
    
    -Tapping a push notification now opens the live screen with that satellite selected
    -Works for cold start, warm start, and while app is already open
    -Fixed race condition where satellite selection was cleared on mount
    
    3D Globe
    
    -Improved satellite tap targeting near globe edges using screen-space nearest-point fallback
    -Selected satellite position now updates in real-time (every 2s) instead of relying on stale batch positions — fixes dot appearing way off from orbit path
    
    Visible Tab (Pro)
    
    -Split into "Visible Now" and "Coming Up" sub-tabs with segmented control
    -Each tab has count badges and independent empty states
    -"Visible Now" shows real-time countdown, "Coming Up" shows time-until and pass details
    
    Settings — Observer Location
    
    -New "Search Location" option — search by city, address, or place name (Mapbox geocoding)
    -Manual entry redesigned with DMS format (degrees/minutes/seconds with N/S/E/W toggles)
    -Auto-advance between fields for quick entry
    -Location display now shows DMS format
    -Clearer layout separating current location status from the three input methods
    
    Rating Prompt
    
    -"Happy to help" now shows Apple's native in-app star rating dialog instead of bouncing to the App Store
  2. v1.0.2iOS
    -Fixed push notifications not being delivered for satellite pass alerts
    -Improved satellite tap detection on the 3D globe — dots are larger and easier to select, especially at high latitudes
    -Fixed navigation so tapping "View on Globe" from Close Approaches or Falling Objects always returns to the correct tab when going back
  3. v1.0.1iOS
    Visible Passes
    
    -New "Visible" tab on the Pro dashboard now shows upcoming naked-eye satellite passes from your location over the next 24 hours, sorted by soonest
    -Scans all satellites to find when they'll be visible overhead — during the dark-sky windows around dawn and dusk when satellites catch sunlight
    -Results appear incrementally as the scan runs, with a progress indicator
    -Satellites currently visible overhead are highlighted with a live badge and countdown timer
    
    Single-Pass Notifications
    
    -Tap the bell on any upcoming pass to get a push notification 15 minutes before that specific flyover — no need to subscribe to every pass of a satellite
    -Bookmark still saves the satellite to your tracked list as before
    
    Info & Polish
    
    -Added an explainer card explaining how naked-eye visibility works and how many satellites are being scanned
    -Performance optimized: only scans during dark-sky windows, caps at 100 results, and processes in batches to keep the app responsive
  4. v6Android
    Notifications have been added for your GPS data. None of your data will be shared with third parties, and no records will be kept. Enjoy!
