- Siri and Shortcuts: ask whether there is lightning near you without opening the app - Strikes per minute is now an average instead of a count of the last minute - The nearest place is spelled out, for example "26 km away from Tierp" - The largest towns in Norway, Denmark and Finland are included, so strikes there are named after somewhere closer - Better support for wider screens that better use the space that is available - A selected strike no longer ends up behind the information card
