Fixed: the end-of-Shabbat reminder could go missing if you opened the app during Shabbat. It now stays in place. Improved: the reminder chime is louder and cuts through better on the phone speaker. Sounds you record yourself are now saved at a consistent volume, so a quiet recording no longer means a quiet reminder.
