Improved some edge cases in recurring global reminders. Should be more reliable now, but for best results the app does need to be used on a regular basis. Fixed a bug that calculated an incorrect time zone at some locations. Also 1.4: Added the most requested feature: Global Alerts. You can now set up reminders for your current location to be reminded at a set time before Blue Light or Golden Light at your current location. Changed the UI for reminders to show separate tabs for these global reminders compared to those tied to a specific date and location. If you're upgrading, you will need to change Location Services to allow background use for these alerts to work as your location changes. The app will need to be accessed on a regular basis for these to be most accurate. Clicking on the reminder for any event will take you to the details for that event. Added support for iPad Pro. Reworked the date selection screen making it easier to explore future (or past) lighting and plan your perfect photo. Some small UI tweaks to clear up some confusion. A few bug fixes that could cause a rare crash of the app.
