Open-Meteo works with your own key. - Back up on iPhone or iPad and restore on a Mac or Windows PC, or the other way around. - More accurate planet and Moon positions. - A Credits page in Set Up. - Text follows your iPhone or iPad text size, and short labels stay whole at the largest sizes. - The illustrated user manual has a new Troubleshooting section. Fixes - A New Moon no longer draws as a solid white disc on the Weather tab. - Apply Filters works before you set a magnitude; the magnitude limit now starts at 17. - The number keyboard has a Done key and no longer covers Apply Filters. - Searching for a catalog ID such as NGC 705 lists the exact match first. - Choosing Solar System and Comets together shows both the planets and the comets. - Telescope times fill in at launch and after you change the date or telescope. - New users now start with deep-sky targets selected, and Apply Filters asks you to choose a target type if none is ticked. - The location permission message now uses the app's name, BigSky Planner.
