## Version history (last 5 of 5)

### v1.2.1 — 2026-08-20

New

Redeem a promo code to unlock Pro.
Notifications now arrive in German, Spanish and French too; every notification type (phase, eclipse, meteor, conjunction, planet, ISS, lunar surface, observing) is fully translated.
Sky View (AR) now switches to manual look automatically when you zoom in close: hand shake no longer throws off your framing, so you can get right up to a planet. Zoom back out and it returns to live tracking on its own.

Improvements

Transitions in AR are now smooth: returning from manual look to live, and changing the date (time travel), glide instead of snapping.
Language and Calendar Mode are now picked from a dropdown; no more cramped button row across 5 languages.
Zooming in shows planets and the Moon at a more astronomically accurate size.
Constellation lines are grouped per constellation and auto-highlight the one you're looking at; star and Moon labels are easier to read, and the Moon is brighter and larger.
Dates and activity text are fully translated into German, Spanish and French (including Hijri and Rumi month names).

Fixes

The 3D Moon sometimes looked squashed from the top on open; fixed.
The Notifications screen title was rendering in all caps; fixed.
Fixed a bug causing duplicate notifications for the same-day event.

### v1.2.0 — 2026-08-13

Satellites now show their real names, a dedicated icon, and live data including speed, orbital altitude, and NORAD ID. Tap any satellite in AR view to see the details.

The Tonight observation card now scores the entire night window, not just this moment. A new hourly quality strip highlights the best viewing hours at a glance.

The Moon Position slider no longer jumps when touched. Smooth, precise tracking throughout.

The Time Travel sheet now opens for everyone, letting you explore available destinations before unlocking Pro.

The "Return to Live" button in AR view no longer overlaps the object detail panel.

Performance improvements to location-based light pollution loading.

### v1.1.5 — 2026-07-18

Notifications now work reliably; some users were receiving none at all, this is fixed.

New: Meteor shower peak-night alerts
New: Visible ISS flyover alerts (opt-in, enable in Settings)
New: "Good night for observing" alerts when the sky is clear and dark

More efficient notification scheduling and data usage
