## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.0 — 2026-08-13

A smarter Planner
Redesigned around the best times, not just the best days. Every beach and activity now gets a short, plain-English summary — what it's good for, and when — ordered best-first like an agenda. Choose Favourites, nearby beaches, or both.

Scores that learn what you like
Turn on Personalisation and rate conditions at the beach. Seanic tunes its activity scores to your taste, privately on your device. Sharing anonymously is a separate, optional switch.

Siri & Shortcuts
Ask Siri about any of your beaches, hands-free — or build your own automations with three new Shortcuts actions.

New widgets
A Beach Summary widget showing the day's plain-English summary, plus a new "Nearby" option so a widget follows the closest beach to you.

Filter All Beaches
Find beaches by facilities — lifeguard, parking, toilets, accessibility and more.

Daily digest
Opt in to a morning summary of the best windows still ahead.

More detail
A new raw forecast screen with richer wave and swell data.

Polish throughout
Clearer star ratings, a refreshed activity chooser, a per-hour score view on the tide chart, roomier rating range on long beaches, and various fixes.

### 1.9.9 — 2026-05-30

Fixed an issue with the rain animation when rain was unlikely.

### 1.9.8 — 2026-05-27

You can now choose how the Near Me tab is ordered. Head to Settings → Display Preferences → Near Me Order and pick either:
- Activity Score — see beaches with the best conditions for your selected activities first.
- Distance — see the closest beaches first, regardless of conditions.

### 1.9.7 — 2026-05-24

• Current activity scores now appear on the beach detail screen — your selected activities (Swim, Surf, Paddle, etc.) show live scores at a glance.
• Wind info now calls out gusts when they're noticeably stronger than the sustained wind (e.g. "Moderate breeze, gusting fresh breeze").
• Tap the wind reading to see exact km/h values for wind and gust — it slips back to the wind scale after a moment.

### 1.9.6 — 2026-03-22

Shows when the last forecast was generated.
