Version 1.2 — Smarter search, trustworthy answers Smarter search • Optional Enhanced Search model (about 350 MB, downloaded in Settings) — dramatically better retrieval: in our internal manual evaluation, the right passage reaches the top results far more often • Optional answer reranker (about 350 MB, experimental) — an on-device judge that re-orders results by true relevance and powers a better-calibrated low-confidence warning • Smarter retrieval engine — keyword and semantic evidence are fused, near-duplicate passages are removed, and follow-up questions carry the context of your previous question into the search Trustworthy answers • Citations now exactly match what the model actually read — no more listed sources the model never saw • Aircraft guard — if nothing matches your selected aircraft, askM says so instead of silently answering from another aircraft's manuals; an optional setting widens the search, clearly flagged on the answer • Versioned search index — the app detects an index built by an older version and offers a one-tap rebuild • Visible rebuild stages — see exactly what indexing is doing: clear old index, load embedding model, parse-chunk-embed, finalise Under the hood • Fixed document extraction issues (duplicated table text, heading bleed, lost special characters such as degree units) • Fixed chunking so long sections split correctly with proper overlap • Fixed keyword search ranking on iPhone • A memory manager keeps the language model and the optional search models within device limits • Interrupted indexing runs are detected and repaired automatically Hardware Same requirements as 1.1: iPad with Apple Silicon (M-series) or any Apple Silicon Mac on macOS 15 or later. The optional search models download once and stay on your device.

Version 1.1 What's new • New on-device language model — reasoning-tuned for better answers on multi-step procedures and limitations • Mac Catalyst support — full Mac app, with an optional first-launch download of a larger on-device model for higher-quality answers on Mac • First-launch Terms & Disclaimer, re-openable from Settings → About • Conversation history — follow-up questions remember prior Q&A in the same session • Tappable source citations in answers — opens the source, scrolls into view, collapses the others • Source links show the manual short name (e.g. "Source 4 [FCOM]") • Live thinking indicator while the model reasons; reasoning is collapsed to a chip when done and can be expanded on tap • Cancel button (red square) replaces the send button during generation • Tap any prior question to copy it to the clipboard • Auto-scroll follows the streaming answer • Settings shows the active on-device model size • Aircraft registration badge legibility fixed • Settings reorder: Index Status now below Server Connection • Light-mode contrast improvements across chat and source views iPhone paused The on-device model does not yet fit the iPhone's memory budget. iPhone users see a clear explanation in the app. iPad and Mac are the supported platforms for 1.1. Hardware Requires an iPad with Apple Silicon (M-series) for on-device AI — iPad Pro M1 or newer, or iPad Air M2 or newer recommended. On Mac, any Apple Silicon Mac on macOS 15 or later.
