Cyprus Pharmacies Update 2.1.2

New in this update

- Returning to the app after a few minutes away now refreshes more smoothly, without stutter.

Fixes and polish

- Refined the subtle highlight animation so it sweeps once and settles, instead of running continuously — lighter on performance and battery.
- Brought back the animated gradient on focused pharmacy rows, Directions, and the open-status tile, in a smooth, one-time form.
- Reduce Motion now shows a clean static highlight for those who prefer less movement.
- General stability and performance improvements across the app.
