## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 26.10.7254 — 2026-10-26

A little more room between the forecast icon and the wind row, in the app and on the widget.

### 26.10.6979 — 2026-10-25

Inland, where there is no wave forecast, the wave height row is hidden and the tide chart takes its space. Location search now puts the keyboard away so every result can be tapped.

### 26.9.8055 — 2026-09-29

Your widgets now follow you. Allow location access all the time and Life's a Beach keeps your home screen widgets on the beach where you are, even when the app is closed. Also fixes the forecast sometimes showing your previous location when you come back to the app.

### 26.9.6359 — 2026-09-23

Fixes tide chart height labels that could draw twice on top of each other. Clearer wording on the premium screen.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-23

Fixes a first-run problem where the app could show a forecast for a place you had never been. On a fresh install it now asks for location once, uses your actual position, and shows an error rather than falling back to a stand-in location it then treated as current.
