## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.7.1 — 2026-08-28

Your first Scout is now a smoother journey from setup to finished photo guide.

• Keep your completed guide visible before deciding whether to continue.
• Plan another Scout when you are ready, with clearer “This trip” and “All year” choices.
• Resume the exact Scout after sign-in, permissions, checkout or an interrupted session.
• Get clearer progress, retry and pending states while a guide is generated.
• Improved accessibility, localisation, dark mode and small-screen layouts.

### 2.6.1 — 2026-08-16

Fixed an issue that could cause LightScout to close immediately after opening.

### 2.6.0 — 2026-08-10

Your first scout is easier to finish and keep.

• Clearer recovery when sign-in, location or report generation needs attention.
• Save one guide free and reopen it without using another credit.
• Mark reports Useful or Not useful and tell us what missed the mark.
• Accessibility and localisation improvements across onboarding, purchases and reports.

### 2.5.0 — 2026-08-02

Scout reports now arrive in around 30 seconds, roughly half the previous wait; while keeping the detailed photography guidance you rely on.

WHAT'S IMPROVED: Less waiting. More time to catch the light!
• A redesigned report engine generates your complete scout much faster.
• Named photo locations, weather and light aware compositions, camera guidance, shooting scenarios, recommended gear and practical safety advice all remain.
• Wider searches now consider your full chosen radius and prioritise the strongest photographic opportunities, not simply the nearest places.
• More reliable report composition and automatic recovery when an AI response is incomplete.

### 2.1.0 — 2026-07-20

LightScout now speaks your language.

• Full app and onboarding translations in Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Romanian, Swedish and Turkish.
• AI scout reports now match the app's active language.
• Localised weather conditions, dates, units and accessibility labels.
• More reliable AI report generation when a response is incomplete or malformed.

Thank you for every review and suggestion that helps shape LightScout.
