## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.14 — 2026-06-08

Fixes cross-device iCloud sync: your progress now syncs reliably between iPhone and iPad with no lost or rolled-back reviews. The home screen also updates smoothly in place after a sync.

### 1.0.12 — 2026-04-10

Version 1.0.12
- FIX: Cards no longer repeat within the same study session. A DST-related scheduling bug caused cards to be marked as due immediately after grading, even with passing grades.
- FIX: Minimum review interval is now 1 day — graded cards always schedule for tomorrow at earliest.
- FIX: Aerodynamic centre answer corrected (t80q83).
- FIX: SERA.5005 minimum flight height questions corrected to 300m/600m (t10q75, t10q92, t10q170).
- FIX: EMMEN TMA lower limit corrected to 2400 ft (t30q63).
- Content improvements: glide angle geometry diagrams, airspace overview charts, enriched explanations with EASA/OpenAIP references.

### 1.0.11 — 2026-04-09

Version 1.0.11

- FIX: iCloud sync race condition that caused cards to get stuck in a due-loop after grading. Sync now uses delta-based per-row updates instead of full-state replacement.
- FIX: "Reviewed" stat now shows consistent values across iPhone, iPad, and Android (reads from synced card_progress, not device-local review_log).
- FIX: ICAO Standard Atmosphere answer corrected to 15 °C / 1013.25 hPa (was incorrectly marked as 15 °F).
- Content and stability improvements from v1.0.10.

### 1.0.10 — 2026-04-08

Version 1.0.10

- NEW: iCloud sync — your learning progress now follows you across iPhone and iPad automatically.
- NEW: Swiss ICAO map figures for navigation and flight-performance questions (Biel-Kappelen, Grenchen, Schänis, Samedan and more).
- iPad: cleaner two-column browse layout and smoother navigation.
- Question quality pass: corrected answer and restored scenario text for the C.G. mass-and-balance exercise; fixed the t60 Q91 control-zone frequency answer; replaced four off-curriculum German distance questions with Swiss aerodrome pairs.
- Progress cleanup: when content updates remove a question, stored progress for it is now pruned automatically.
- Leaner content download (~24 MB smaller sync payload) and general bug fixes.

### 1.0.9 — 2026-04-07

Version 1.0.9
- NEW: iPad layout - two-column question view, full-screen figures with pinch-to-zoom
- NEW: Subject screen, Stats screen, and Home screen optimized for iPad landscape
- More questions added (now 1442 across 9 EASA subjects)
- Markdown tables expand to full width
- Smaller, cleaner navigation buttons on iPad
- Bug fixes and content polish
