What's New in Wilderness Survival Companion

1.6.2

June 1, 2026

This update hardens the app for backcountry use: • SOS strobe now uses your iPhone's camera flash (torch) on multi-lens models, so the distress signal is far brighter than screen flash alone. • "Return to Camp" GPS now shows how accurate each saved waypoint is (±meters) and warns you when a fix is weak — so you can re-mark before you rely on it. • New Lightning Safety guide (NWS/NOLS based): when to seek shelter, the "if you hear thunder" rule, strike avoidance, the 30-minute wait, and strike first aid. • Reference diagrams (knots and more) now show a clear "unavailable offline" notice with a Retry button instead of a blank space. • Added native haptic feedback — the breathing exercise now buzzes — for eyes-free use. Note: this version now requires iOS 16 or later.
