1.7.0 — A "Live" Magic Pulse
Magic Pulse gets a new visual identity built around what makes the app useful: real-time park data. Every wait number, crowd reading, live event, and planned item now shows where it's going next, not just where it is.
What's new:
• Temporal companions on every now-value — wait numbers pair with their 30-min forecast, the park day gets a progress bar, live events show fill-to-close strips, My Day's "Next up" ticks down to NOW.
• Ride row redesign with word-wrap for long names, consistent sparkline alignment across rows, and no dead space — rows are exactly as tall as their content needs.
• Inline anomaly glyphs next to wait numbers when waits are unusually high or low for the hour.
• Closed rides panel: count badge + escalated treatment for rides down 60+ minutes.
• Lightning Lane filter chips tinted by verdict (Buy = green, Wait = amber, Skip = muted) so your filter state reads at a glance.
• Per-row chrome with confidence dots on Best Times and Good Time to Go cards.
• Tab bar live indicator: a pulsing dot on the Events tab when something's running.
• Park-day progress strip under the hero showing how much park time is left.
Major fixes:
• Tokyo Disney Resort: a long-standing bug was silently rejecting backend data for parks with non-numeric server IDs. After this update, Tokyo parks get the full experience — best times, Lightning Lane prices, crowd forecasts, drop radar, Live Activity, and focus mode all work correctly.
• EPCOT Gran Fiesta Tour and similar rides now appear in the wait list even when no queue time is published.
• Cross-time-zone trip planning: Day Plan items bucket correctly by their park's local hours, not your device's.
• Morning summary notifications now fire at 8 AM PARK time, not 8 AM device time.
• Long ride names no longer truncate mid-word.
Performance:
• Events tab: redundant timer wake-ups reduced by ~8× per minute.
• Memory leak in the park-switching prefetch queue fixed.
Thanks for using Magic Pulse!
1.7 Jun 2
A meaningful follow-up to 1.6 — fixes for paying users, a friendlier Settings, and visual polish across the top of every screen.
• Pro features now turn on automatically when you upgrade — no more stuck toggles after subscribing.
• ML chips (best time to ride, predicted drops, anomaly badges) restored on rides for Pro users.
• Settings got a major refresh — smarter section grouping, combined toggles where it makes sense, a new Quick Toggles section at the top of the hub, "PRO" badges in place of non-functional toggles for free users, and a proper passcode-style developer access screen.
• Top-of-page chrome refreshed — resort switcher, navigation bar buttons, sticky park-name title, and resort dropdown all got matching glass capsule treatments. Refresh button now shows a spinner so you know it's working.
• Resort dropdown menu has cleaner divider lines and a friendlier header.
• "Now" recommendations are smarter — no more suggesting transit-style attractions (railroads, monorails, riverboats) as "hop on now" picks. The engine now prefers headliner rides with statistically low waits.
• Wait history charts are calmer — no longer painting into the top edge of the slot. Flat rides read calm; only real spikes look dramatic. The chart can be hidden via settings.
• The all-parks-closed page now shows park opening times even when the resort-status endpoint hasn't responded.
• Closed-rides panel no longer shows gaps from duplicate or empty entries.
• Navigation transitions stutter less when scrolling past the park header.
• Page titles between the navigation buttons now show correctly when scrolling.
• Smaller bootstrap payloads, smarter caching, parallel fetches, and a Canvas-based fast path for the wait history chart — faster cold launches and smoother scroll.
Thanks for using MagicPulse.
1.6.1 May 2
Faster wait times, snappier park switching, more live data
This release is a major performance and architectural refresh. Behind every change is one goal: get fresh data in front of you faster, with less waiting and less battery cost.
More live wait times
Wait times now refresh on a tighter schedule while you're actively looking at the rides list. The app intelligently slows down when you're scrolling (so refreshes don't fight your finger) and speeds back up the moment you settle. Park hours and closure flags get their own faster heartbeat — so when a park closes early, you see it within a minute.
Faster everywhere
Smaller payloads, smarter caching, and parallel fetches add up to noticeably quicker cold launches and snappier park switching. Repeat fetches return instantly from the on-device cache. Pull-to-refresh feels more responsive, especially on cellular.
Lightning Lane prices always show color
Every LL pill now carries a glance-able color — green for cheap or buy-recommended, amber for moderate, red for expensive or skip. Previously, prices without a buy verdict showed flat white with no signal. Now you can spot good deals at a glance, even on rides we haven't fully analyzed yet.
Localized crowd and park hours
If you use MagicPulse in a non-English language, crowd levels (Low, Moderate, High) and park hours ("Open until 10pm" / "Closed - Opens 9am") now appear in your language instead of always in English.
Tab switching is instant
Rides, My Day, Events, and Lightning Lane tabs now stay alive in memory after your first visit. Switching between them happens with no rebuild lag — your scroll position, day-plan edits, and animations carry through.
Cleaner ride rows
We trimmed the small freshness dots from each ride row. The wait number, trend arrow, and LL pill color already tell you whether data is fresh. The full freshness UI still appears on individual ride detail screens.
Smarter update flow
A new "Update Required" screen activates only when an old version can't safely talk to the current server. If you're on a recent version you'll never see it — but it's a safety net for future API changes.
Behind-the-scenes wins
40 MB on-device cache so recently viewed parks reload instantly
ML wait-history payloads roughly 10× smaller on the wire
Resort-wide status (park hours, closure flags) fetched once per resort instead of duplicated per park
JSON decode runs off the main thread for smoother UI during refreshes
Network layer now respects server cache headers properly (long-standing bug fixed)
Notable fixes
Lightning Lane panel no longer stretches awkwardly tall on parks without LL data
Tab content panels no longer briefly overlap on first switch
Wait-band coloring and crowd density coloring now display reliably across the app
Park hours line on My Day now displays correctly in non-English locales
Thanks for using MagicPulse. As always, feedback and ideas are welcome.
