• The Plan tab now opens on your trip plan and ends with a short before-you-go list: pack checklist, daylight, weather safety, storm turnaround and check-in timer. • Saved items now live in the Library, so the app has five tabs. • Read-aloud and breathing cues use the most natural voice installed on your device. • Accessibility: Reduce Motion is respected, text contrast is higher in every theme, and VoiceOver labels are clearer. • Location is requested with a short explanation, and Compass, Sun, UV and Check-In offer a way to turn it on later. Check-In works without location. • Removing a bookmark or checklist item can be undone, and deleting a waypoint asks first. • The waypoint compass shows when you have arrived. • A new app icon, plus fixes and polish.
