Your saved spots now survive a reinstall — and OwlPlot is ready for bigger screens. • Saved spots, shot plans, cameras, lenses, the cards you wrote and your own run-sheet lines are kept in your own iCloud… • On an iPad, in Split View, or on a wide window, the tab bar becomes a sidebar and text holds to a readable column instead of stretching. Everything you had open stays open as the window changes. • Saved spots can be removed one at a time from Settings, instead of clearing them all. • Fixed: AR Sky could drift over a long night… now corrects its heading whenever you hold the phone still, and tells you when it has not been able to. • Fixed: night vision now turns every window red, not just the one in front. • Fixed: the AR camera preview stays upright when you turn the phone. Requires iOS 18.
