Reminders and the widget no longer depend on opening the app. • The widget and watch complication now carry several weeks of times, so they stay correct on their own. • The app refreshes in the background, so upcoming reminders stay scheduled. • Candle-lighting and Havdalah reminders are now time sensitive, so a Focus no longer silences them. • Send a test reminder now tells you why a reminder would arrive silently, and where to fix it. • Fixed: the app could ask for location permission you had already granted. • The app is now called Shabbat Times.
