New and changed: - Automatic lift announcements now work without a call. They are spoken through any output, including the phone speaker, but only while you are inside a ski resort area (during a call they are spoken as before; without a call they pause during an MC broadcast and while the camera recording screen is open). On the free plan, the day's 60 minutes (shared with calls) start when announcements first play there, not when you tap the switch. - Turning on voice announcements now shows a single confirmation, with no waiting. - Removed the "Show wait time" switch: wait times are shown to people who have location sending on. - Added a "Lift Status" button on Home. - Purchases made with an offer code or "Ask to Buy" are now picked up as soon as you open the app.

New and changed: - Added "Powder Map": a free snow map you open from the button under "Join a Room" on Home. It shows by colour where the snow of the last 12, 24 or 48 hours has collected (an estimate calculated from past weather, not a forecast). No sign-in or location permission needed. It covers Niseko, Rusutsu and Kiroro (Rusutsu and Kiroro are in trial). - Guide Mode: customers joining a guide-mode room are now asked for a face photo every time (skippable unless the guide requires it). The photo is shown only to that room's guide, with one exception: if you have no profile icon yet, it also becomes your icon, which the other people in the room can see. - Fixed two back buttons showing on the call screen on iOS 27.

New and changed: - Staff features for guide companies and ski-resort staff, under Settings > Staff features. You do not need them for ordinary calls. - Guide Mode: log in with an account we issue to a company to manage its customers' rooms and talk to every room at once. - MC Broadcast: venue staff can send a venue announcement with a passcode. - Mute and unmute with the iPhone's volume buttons (optional; turn it on in Settings > Volume Button; each press also changes the iPhone's volume by one step). - A "Location access: Always" row in Settings (optional). With "Always", location sharing during a call continues with the screen off. Nothing changes unless you tap it. - Fixed audio that could play late after switching earphones. - Guide-mode rooms that can no longer be used are now removed from your recent rooms automatically.

New: Resorts for Hokkaido ski resorts. - Lift status (map or list) for Niseko United, Kiroro, Rusutsu Resort and Niseko Moiwa. Before the season opens, lifts read suspended, closed for today or out of season. - A snow, weather and notices briefing with a Listen button. - The nearest resort is found on your device only; you can also choose it by hand. - Optional: turn on location sending to unlock estimated lift wait times and automatic voice announcements. While you are at or near a ski resort (an area several km wide), your location (not linked to your name or account) is sent, even with the screen off. New installs are asked right after setup; if you update from 1.0, you are asked when you turn on voice announcements or wait times in Resorts, or you turn it on yourself in Settings. Everything else works without it, and you can turn it off any time in Settings. On the free plan, voice announcements count toward the daily free time. - An Info button during calls, and a banner on Home when a live resort broadcast is on. - On the free plan you can now watch a video ad to add 15 minutes of free time (up to 3 times a day). It is optional and shown only when you choose it; people on a paid plan do not see ads. Also: small bug fixes. - In-call map: a fresh-snow layer (a past estimate, not a forecast) and a members bar that slides up when tapped.
