FAMILY TREE MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENTS We've completely redesigned how you manage your family trees: • View All Your Family Trees – New "My Family Trees" screen shows all imported family trees at a glance, with individual and family counts for each • Set Primary Tree – Choose which family tree appears first in searches and connections • Show/Hide Trees – Toggle visibility for specific trees without deleting them • Rename Trees – Give your imported GEDCOMs meaningful names • Delete with Confidence – Remove unwanted trees while keeping others intact INTRODUCING THE PURET FAMILY Heritage Compass now includes a pre-installed family tree: 'the Puret Family'. This is a fictional family created to help you experience the history of Cities featured in our Lorg app through the eyes of ordinary people. As you explore locations in the Lorg app, you'll discover how the Puret family—merchants, farmers, and townsfolk—lived, worked, and witnessed history unfold across generations. Their stories bring historical sites to life, showing you not just where events happened, but how real families experienced them. The Puret Family appears in your family trees with a special "Lorg" badge and cannot be deleted. This curated narrative is available across our Heritage suite of apps, each telling the story of a different region through a local family's eyes. BUG FIXES & STABILITY • Fixed a critical issue where duplicate family tree records were created on app launch • Corrected the Puret Family source identification • Improved GEDCOM import reliability with duplicate prevention • Enhanced database migration stability As always, we're committed to helping you discover ancestral connections. If you have feedback or questions, please reach out via Settings → Contact Support. Thank you for using Heritage Compass!

Heritage Compass v2.5 introduces the Heritage Notification Manager — a shared coordination system for all Heritage Suite apps. Set your notification preferences once and they apply across every Heritage app you have installed. When multiple Heritage apps are running, they coordinate automatically so only one speaks at a time. Personal GEDCOM connections always take priority.

Bug Fixes This update resolves critical issues with voice notifications: • Fixed voice notifications not working in background - You'll now hear ancestral discoveries even when the app isn't open • Fixed voice notifications on locked screen - Historical narratives now play correctly when your iPhone is locked • Fixed CarPlay audio - Voice notifications now play through your car speakers when connected to CarPlay • Fixed Bluetooth audio routing - Voice messages now work properly with Bluetooth headphones and speakers When you walk or drive near places where your ancestors lived, worked, married, or made history, Heritage Compass will now reliably tell you their stories - whether you're driving with CarPlay, walking with your phone in your pocket, listening to music through Bluetooth, or using other apps. This is a stability update focused entirely on fixing the voice notification system. All other features remain unchanged.

Version 2.0 introduces shared data architecture — your family tree is now accessible across all Siorai Labs heritage apps without re-importing.

Subscription options updated — Heritage Compass now offers monthly (£1.99), annual (£9.99), and lifetime (£34.99) access. The free trial period has been removed.
