SkyLaunch 2.1 is updated for iOS 27. Built for iOS 27, with a proper launch screen and the latest scene-based app lifecycle Liquid Glass design throughout, including a tab bar that adapts to larger layouts Landscape support so the app works in resizable windows and iPhone Mirroring Smoother glass controls on launch cards and launch details Continues to support iOS 18 and later Thanks for using SkyLaunch! Short notes Updated for iOS 27 Adaptive Liquid Glass tab bar and controls Landscape and resizable window support Smoother launch cards and details

A major redesign built for the latest iOS. All-new Liquid Glass design. SkyLaunch has been redesigned for iOS 26 with Apple's new Liquid Glass look — translucent cards, buttons, and tab bar that reflect and refract the content behind them for a more vibrant, modern feel. Optimized for the latest iOS. Fully updated for the newest iOS while continuing to support iOS 18 and later. Refreshed launch data sources. We replaced retired data providers so upcoming launches, SpaceX missions, and space news stay accurate and reliable. Easier navigation. Added clear close buttons to the Launch Details and Source Health screens so you can always get back with a single tap. Polish & reliability. Numerous performance and stability refinements throughout the app. Thanks for using SkyLaunch! Keep the feedback coming.

You can trim this to fit the character limit. 1. Clearer launch list: Status chips stay readable, and launch rows lay out more reliably next to dates and countdown info. 2. Better SpaceX details: Launch sites show real pad names and locations instead of raw API IDs. 3. Smarter alerts: Launch reminders stay in sync after data updates and background refresh, with alerts for important launch changes when you’ve enabled notifications. 4. Space headlines: Optional heads-up when there’s a new top space story (when notifications are on). 5. Small polish: If you enjoy the app, you may see a one-time prompt to rate SkyLaunch on the App Store. 6. Stability and maintenance under the hood for iOS 18+.

Smoother launch updates — more reliable loading and fewer glitches when refreshing missions and details. Clearer “what’s happening now” — improved loading flow so you can see progress while data comes in. Dashboard polish — refined countdown and Next Launch layout with clearer date, pad, time, probability, and status at a glance. Sharper Launches list — upcoming launches now match the cleaner, more consistent style used in launch history. Better countdown after liftoff — messaging that reflects launched, scrubbed, canceled, or no-go when a window passes. Refreshed look — updated accent colors and controls (including units) for a more consistent experience across the app. General fixes — stability and small UI improvements throughout.

Improved stability and startup reliability on the latest iOS Clearer badge behavior when reopening the app Better consistency for background refresh and saved data Refined support for iOS 18 devices

Version updated to 1.7 +  About page fixed App version: updated to 1.7.0 Build number: updated to 16 -About page: now reads version dynamically from the bundle (CFBundleShortVersionString (CFBundleVersion)), so it won’t drift again. -App Store “What’s New” (suggested list for 1.7.0) -Real weather forecasts added for launch sites (temperature, wind, visibility, conditions), improving probability accuracy. -Launch Probability bar fix: the indicator now correctly matches the displayed percentage. -Confidence + “Why?” explanations: see a confidence level (Low/Medium/High) and expand “Why?” to understand what signals drive the number. -Self-calibrating probability (“learning”): provider reliability adapts over time based on past outcomes. -Offline mode: launches are cached to SwiftData so you can browse recent + upcoming launches without a connection. -Adaptive launch update alerts (optional): get notified when a launch’s status/time changes or probability drops significantly. -Background refresh: periodically refreshes launches/probabilities in the background (iOS scheduling dependent). -Performance/UX polish: skeleton loading, pull-to-refresh haptics, smoother numeric transitions.

Dark Theme bug fixes.

Version 1.6.0 - Enhanced User Experience Enhanced User Interface - Centered dashboard title and countdown timer for better visual balance - Compact side-by-side action buttons ("Remind Me" and "Watch Live") - Beautiful spinning airplane icon during loading - Improved splash screen logo animation Technical Improvements - Full Swift 6 concurrency compliance - Faster and more reliable background processing - Improved app performance and stability Bug Fixes - Fixed logo animation issues - Resolved dashboard alignment problems - Improved loading state handling

Key features: Added NASA, Rocket Lab, and Origin Space launch tracking Up to 50% faster performance New app icon design Enhanced animations

SkyLaunch now checks the status of its launch data providers (including SpaceX and Launch Library 2) to ensure everything is online and delivering valid information. A new Source Health screen shows each provider’s status, response time, and the last time it was checked. Clear color indicators (green, orange, red) make it easy to see if a source is healthy, slow, or offline. Added a “Check Source Health” button in Settings so you can run a quick diagnostic anytime. Behind the scenes, SkyLaunch also verifies source integrity before fetching upcoming launches, improving accuracy and reliability. These improvements help ensure you always receive the most up-to-date and reliable launch information.

-Bug fixes. -New Icon (thanks Doug).

Badge bug fix. Thanks, R. Mason.

Notification badges reset fixed, notification test button removed. Thanks again D. Berger!

Code documented. Bug Fixes. Push notification fixed, thanks D. Berger!

Fixed a version update missing.

Now both the Historical Launch page and the Launch Pads page have the same default region filter: Historical Launch View: Defaults to "North America" . Launch Pads View: Defaults to "North America" . User Experience Benefits: Consistent Behavior: Users will see the same default region filter across both pages. Focused Content: By default, users see North American launch data, which is likely more relevant for most users. Better Discoverability: Users can still change to "Global" or other regions if they want to see worldwide data. Streamlined Workflow: No need to change the filter on every page visit. Now support Apple Glass.

1. Push Notifications fixed. 2. Internal bug Fixes. (thank you Ryan Mason)
