- Added red as a location dot color option. - Fixed the Near Me list being empty when Precise Location is turned off in iOS Settings. - Fixed the location dot's accuracy filter so it shows up more reliably. - Fixed favourite-launch preference being lost when upgrading from v2. - Improved radar animation reliability by filtering out frames with bad or duplicate timestamps.
