What's New in Red Sea Creatures
2.4.0
October 15, 2026
Made for iPhone Duo. Unfold it and the app opens like a book. The list you chose from stays on one side of the fold, and what you chose opens on the other: all the fishes on one side, bony fishes on the other. One tap deeper, and the whole family sits beside the species you are reading about. Pick another and only that half changes. The rest works the same way. A dive site sits next to the other sites in its town, a dive centre next to its neighbours, an article next to the journal, a marine day next to the calendar, and the sea conditions next to every station on the coast. Lists fall into two columns that meet exactly at the crease. The crease no longer runs through the middle of a photograph. That was the first thing we saw on an unfolded Duo, a fish folded in half, and everything above comes from not wanting to see it again. Navigation waits beside the camera, where the folded phone keeps it. Folded shut, the cover screen is simply your iPhone. Below deck: the journal cards on Discover are now the same size as everything around them. See you in the water.
