What's New in Sensecast
v1.1.0
October 13, 2026
Sensecast 1.1.0 — the biggest update yet. HAZARD MAP (PRO) A new full-screen map layers every hazard feed onto one view: SPC storm reports and the Day 1 convective outlook, NWS warning polygons, USGS earthquakes, NASA FIRMS fire detections, GDACS cyclone tracks, county-level power outages, the SWPC aurora oval and nearby tide stations. A layers sheet toggles each feed and remembers your selection between launches, a 24-hour / 3-day / 7-day window scopes the time-aware layers, tapping a feature opens a details sheet with attribution, and a collapsible legend explains every colour on screen. WEATHER WALLPAPER (PRO) Your wallpaper can follow the weather: 44 scenes matched to the current condition and time of day — dawn, day, sunset, night — so it always agrees with the app. All six canvas styles are offered: Dynamic, Clean Weather Sky, Atmosphere (the photographic sky plates), Custom Photo, OLED stealth black, and the verified downloadable Photo pack. The wallpaper only changes when the scene does, and a "Get Sensecast Wallpaper" Shortcuts action enables scheduled or Focus-triggered changes. TIDES (PRO) Pro locations show the tide picture on the dashboard — the next high or low with a live countdown, a 24-hour curve and the reporting station. The full Tides screen carries a 48-hour view, a 7-day highs/lows table, and observed water level against the prediction where stations publish it. U.S. coasts use NOAA CO-OPS; everywhere else uses TideSpy. PRO ACCOUNTS Email sign-in is live: purchases made on the web unlock Pro on every signed-in device, and verified store receipts attach to your account automatically. The membership card names your plan, the day the paid period ends — "Never expires" for lifetime — and your device count, and Manage Subscription routes to the store you actually bought through. WIDGET COLOUR THEMES (PRO) Home-screen widgets can wear Dark Slate, Cyber Cyan, Solar Warmth, OLED Black or Aurora Teal — or keep following the weather for free. Each widget's theme is independent via Edit Widget. AND MORE IN 1.1.0 • A real aurora painted into the night sky when NOAA's Kp index says one is visible at your location — never estimated, and it respects Reduce Motion • Hourly UV index: a fifth metric on the forecast chart switcher and a value on every hour card, with solar-angle estimates disclosed per cell • Weather Academy doubled to 43 plain-language glossary terms — fronts, CAPE, the cone of uncertainty, rip currents, tides and more — in English and Spanish • Tracker sections (aurora, hurricane, earthquake, wildfire, tides, models) are now Pro behind a blurred preview card — Tornado Tracker stays free • Onboarding rebuilt: pick your dashboard up front, severe alerts ask for notification permission at the moment of intent, units preset from your location's country, and a celebration finale — all full-window on iPad • One design system: shared spacing, corner, text and motion scales across every card, sheet and screen — tappable cards gently scale while pressed • Complete Spanish: every screen, home-screen widgets, Live Activities, Shortcuts, permission prompts and the VoiceOver layer • Widgets matured: a normalized type scale with a readable floor on widgets and Live Activity, and gallery previews that mirror what ships • Air quality names the concrete reporting monitor, and action-day declarations join the Pro alert • Location pills read "City, ST"; radar's declutter toggle produces a truly clean map; alert banners give the issuing office its own line • API keys moved into the Keychain with legacy copies migrating away; radar prefetches tiles so playback runs from cache; the Outfit typeface ships in-app instead of contacting Google Fonts • A drag on a locked dashboard card now scrolls instead of dying, and the dashboard scrolls clear to the bottom edge
