Nyx: Dark Sky Planner

Tonight's sky can follow your iPhone. Choose "Follow my iPhone" and the sky faces wherever the back of your phone points, with the horizon kept level. It uses no camera and asks for no new permission. A drag or a direction hands the sky back to you. Closures are harder to miss. Turn your iPhone sideways and a closure stays on the first screen, with the dial whole beside it. The Tonight control in Control Center names what is closed, in the Park Service's words, and stays current after background refreshes. On Apple Watch, a closure kept from an earlier update says so, and the watch says when closures are not being checked. Clearer rankings. When two nights tie, the one with more Moon-free darkness ranks first. A night with no clouds to count says "Moon and darkness only" wherever its score stands alone, ranks after nights that count clouds, and is never offered as the better choice. Clouds where you stand. Denali and Kenai Fjords now take their cloud forecast at the visitor centers, not deep in the wilderness. Past its summit cloud layers, Haleakalā says "Moon and darkness only" rather than count cloud below the summit. On Apple Watch, the Crown steps through nights on every Tonight face. Tonight also shows the usual clouds and the forecast models' range, and says when a night has no true darkness. Countdowns stay whole on small screens. The Live Activity countdown ticks on its own and can no longer be mistaken for a clock time. The Moon widget shows the night's Moon with the same figure as the Tonight widget, moves on at sunrise, and names the park's time zone. The journal reads a photo only when you reach it, so opening a long journal no longer loads every picture. Your entries and photos move over by themselves, on your device. Also: a tap anywhere on a park row opens it; cancelled days no longer appear in ranger programs, and program times follow your format; reminders and cloud times name the park's time zone; VoiceOver and the largest text sizes work better across every device; iPad windows keep their place when resized; and many small corrections in Spanish, German, French and Japanese.
