See which way you're being heard Propagation Compass - Live Spots now shows a directional compass of which way your grid is being heard, built from live PSK Reporter spots. - Tap the compact compass beside the Furthest stat for a larger view with labeled spot-count rings — it rotates with your heading. - Turn it on or off in Settings.

Improvements & Bug Fixes - Various bug fixes and stability improvements.

Lightning Proximity Alerts (new!) - Get warned when lightning is detected near your station, so you can disconnect antennas and gear in time. - Set a fixed station location or follow your GPS, with an adjustable proximity radius in your preferred units. - A live map shows your coverage radius. This is a situational-awareness tool, not a life-safety system. QSO History on DXpeditions - If you've connected a logbook (Wavelog or QRZ), a DXpedition's page now shows which bands you've already worked it on, with confirmed-contact checkmarks. - Expand the card to see the individual QSOs, rolled up across all of the expedition's callsigns. Improvements & Bug Fixes - Expanded the in-app Help with new articles covering Lightning Alerts, Rover Mode, POTA/SOTA, the Frequency Memory Bank, the free trial, and the reference tools. - Fixed a crash when searching for very long numeric frequencies. - Various other bug fixes and stability improvements.

CW (Morse Code) - Suggested by KD3ALB - New CW reference page: type any text to hear it sent as Morse code, with a live dit/dah preview and adjustable speed (WPM) and pitch. - The Phonetic Alphabet page now shows each letter's Morse code plus a numbers (0–9) section — tap any character to hear its tone. Rover Mode - Suggested by K7GIO - View live spots and band activity for any grid square without being there. - Enter a grid or tap a neighboring one, then choose how long it lasts: 1 hour, 8 hours, end of day, or until you turn it off. - Live spots, band activity, home-screen widgets, the Apple Watch, and push alerts all follow the chosen grid, then revert to your GPS location automatically when it expires. Improvements and Bug Fixes - More accurate callsign country and flag lookups. - New Share Diagnostics option in Settings. Very useful if you need to email me about an issue. - Fixed the Antenna Calculator so manual wavelength entry no longer snaps back to frequency mode.

Italian & Dutch - QRV is now available in Italian and Dutch. - Added Italian and Dutch band plans, with regional band privileges from ARI and VERON. - Refined translations across German and Spanish. Universal Search - New Search tab — look up a callsign or jump to a DXCC entity from a single place. - Type a partial callsign for a live lookup, or type a country or prefix to open its DXCC entity detail. - You can also search for a frequency and get quick info from your band plan. Reference - SOTA Spots is now a top-level entry in the Reference tab on iPhone. - DXCC entities and DXpeditions open as sheets you can swipe away. - Long-press a spot to open the DXCC entity sheet directly from the band detail view.

Worldwide DXpedition Activity - The DXpedition Calendar now shows DXpeditions that are on the air worldwide, not just those spotted from your grid. "Active" is renamed "On-Air". - Band chips show both locally-spotted bands (full color) and worldwide-only bands (faded). - Tap any DXpedition for a Spotted / On-Air toggle — see current worldwide frequencies and which grid fields are hearing them right now. Improvements - Live Spots now shows distinct icons for watched DXCC, DXpeditions, callsigns, and POTA activators — toggle each in Settings. - New Share Feedback link in Settings — post ideas, bug reports, and questions on the public QRV feedback repo.
