What's New in 1.3 A complete redesign Meridian Dispatch has a new look from cover to cover, with a new app icon. A refined editorial style now runs through the globe, your Dispatches, every trip page, and the Upcoming planner. It reads less like an app and more like a travel magazine of your own.

A more elegant planner Upcoming and your plan days are reworked into warm editorial columns, with country and landmark photography setting the scene for each trip.

Version 1.2 turns your finished trips into something you can hold onto and share. You can now create a shareable trip video, built entirely on your device from your own photos, opening with a signature globe that flies in to each country. There is a new print-ready PDF journal too: a magazine-style keepsake with photo-aware layouts that keep people in frame. Behind the scenes, on-device photo scoring now curates your strongest shots into balanced collages, and sharper place detection names the venues you actually visited in each day's summary. The whole app feels more considered: a Liquid Glass refresh across the globe, Dispatches, and the tab bar, a smoother zoom as you open a trip, day summaries you can edit and regenerate, country-scoped search, an all-photos viewer, and small tactile touches (like a gentle haptic when you open a day). We also fixed several crashes and sped up launch on large photo libraries. As always, your photos never leave your device.
