We've rebuilt the speed estimation engine, refining how location and IMU data work together to improve speed readings during departures, acceleration, deceleration, and stops. • When conditions allow, IMU data assists with speed changes and brief GNSS interruptions. The display indicates when speed is estimated or cannot be determined reliably. • Separate indicators now show positioning accuracy and speed quality. • Improved lateral G readings now include L/R direction indicators. P95 values are displayed separately for acceleration, deceleration, left, and right. • Added altitude accuracy and warning indicators. Grade readings now show the distance used for averaging. • Expanded station data worldwide, with approximately 90,000 station records included. Improved English and romanized station names. Coverage remains partial. • Improved station name readability, added a Liquid Glass display toggle, and introduced a GUIDE explaining how to use the app. • Removed the manual SET 0 button and CSV logging/export features. Available readings and the duration of speed estimation depend on GNSS reception and device movement.

Improved speed estimation during handheld use, along with station segment, acceleration, and grade displays. - The main screen returns to portrait orientation on iPhone. iPhone Duo retains layouts that adapt to the available display area. - Handheld use gives GNSS speed corrections priority. A brief acceleration alone no longer establishes a fixed mounting state. - When phone movement or an interruption in motion measurements is detected, continuous speed prediction resumes only after the forward axis has been revalidated. - Lateral G can appear as an estimate before forward-axis learning is complete, when direction and sensor quality are sufficient. - Station segment displays can appear sooner on short segments when position and direction evidence is sufficient. Connections in bundled railway data for Japan and overseas have also been repaired. - Speed uncertainty warnings stay visible through brief fluctuations, reducing blinking. - Speed and position states are handed over more consistently when stopping and starting. - Grade display checks now account for uncertain height changes over short distances. Speed prediction, station segments, and grade are withheld when the available position, direction, or sensor evidence is insufficient.

AVECT 1.2.6 improves station name display and adds support for new screen sizes. Improved Station Names * Station names now prioritize the local language, with English names displayed underneath when available. * For stations in Japan, Japanese names appear above English names when available, even if the app is set to English. iPhone Duo Support * Optimized layouts for inner and outer displays, with improved adaptation to different screen sizes. Station data remains available offline. Speed, acceleration, and gradient estimation are unchanged.

AVECT 1.2.5 adds overseas railway data. - Nearby station references now include 139 overseas countries and regions. Coverage varies and does not include every station. - Alongside supported lines in Japan, verified segments in ten overseas countries show endpoint stations and distances along bundled track geometry: the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, Taiwan (TRA/MRT), the US (Amtrak), Canada, Germany, France, Spain and Norway. - Added selected Taiwan MRT and Canadian segments. Unverified passenger facilities and paths that skip unresolved intermediate stations are excluded. Taiwan high-speed rail is not included. - Without verified track connections, nearby names and straight-line distances are references; no next station or interstation distance is inferred. - References are withheld when positioning is unreliable, nearby stations are ambiguous, speed is high or fresh fixes are lost. - SETTINGS includes rail data sources, licenses and an export for reuse. Data may differ from current conditions. Austria uses 2024 geometry, Norway 2025, and Canada 2012–2017.

AVECT 1.2.4 updates grade estimation to use the same altitude changes as the fused altitude display. - Continuous altitude changes used by FUSED ALT now also inform grade estimates over traveled distance. - Corrections to the GNSS altitude reference are kept separate from actual climbs and descents when calculating grade. - Grade shows “—” when there is insufficient evidence of altitude change or travel distance. - RELIABILITY is steadier across regular GNSS updates while remaining responsive to important drops in the estimate's reliability.

How fast is your elevator climbing? Watch the altitude and vertical speed change as you travel between floors. Try AVECT as an altimeter and turn an everyday ride into a little experiment. When measurement begins, the altitude reading may take around a minute to settle. The time varies with conditions, so check that the reading has settled before trying it on an elevator ride. AVECT 1.2.3 improves speed display during unreliable reception and the response to pressure-based altitude changes. - GNSS recovery now checks multiple observations and prevents an expired speed estimate from reappearing. - Revised IMU support during reception gaps. Even with a fixed device, support lasts at most 10 seconds from the last speed reference. Device motion or uncertainty can make speed unavailable sooner. - Sustained relative pressure changes can update altitude and vertical speed even without a horizontal speed reading. Revised checks for abrupt pressure changes and pressure disturbances during fast travel. - Improved handling of delayed sensor input and aligned speed warnings in the display and CSV. - Added CSV diagnostics for sensor delays, app state, and speed and altitude estimation. During long reception gaps or insufficient speed evidence, speed shows “—” and distance is not accumulated for that interval.

AVECT 1.2.2 adds official support for iOS 27 and improves display update reliability. - Fixed an issue where speed, altitude, elapsed recording time, and other readings could stop updating while measurement and CSV recording continued. Updated the refresh behavior of both the dashboard and the full-screen speedometer. - Improved on-screen feedback after using SET 0 or starting or stopping a recording, so results and recording status appear promptly. - Improved the resumption of display updates when returning from the background. Measurement and estimation logic and the CSV recording format are unchanged.

AVECT 1.2.1 adds speed and altitude unit preferences and improves interstation distances, altitude status, and grade estimation. - Added SETTINGS with main speed units (km/h, mph, kt) and altitude units (m, ft). The speedometer, scale, speed change rate and vertical speed follow these preferences. GUIDE is now inside SETTINGS. - Added altitude status indicators for GNSS priority, pressure support and HOLD. - Fixed stale station information remaining after a return from the background. The display now waits for a fresh position. - Revised grade estimation to use recent altitude changes and travel distance when the route changes between uphill and downhill sections. - Aligned travel distance with the time of each pressure measurement and adjusted GNSS altitude comparisons to cover the same section. - The GNSS/IMU bar now briefly responds when IMU data contributes to speed updates during departures, acceleration, or deceleration. - Simplified CSV recordings to 67 columns covering observations and recording conditions, removing duplicates and unnecessary internal diagnostics. - Interstation distances now follow the bundled track data. The nearest-station-only display continues to use straight-line distance. - Reorganized GUIDE to begin with practical instructions and clarified speed change rate, lateral G, reliability, and grade readings. - Added feature and station-coverage information to the subscription screen and clarified renewal after the free trial.

AVECT 1.2.0 improves speed estimation during departures, stops, and GNSS recovery, and makes measurement displays easier to read. - Improved acceleration handling for different device orientations and travel-axis learning in AUTO. - Fixed departure and stop detection issues, including a stationary state persisting after GNSS confirmed movement. - Improved handling of stale or unstable GNSS readings and speed estimation when reception returns. Speed shows “—” when there is insufficient measurement evidence. - The dashboard and speedometer now show the two-second average rate of change in FUSED speed. Windows crossing large recovery corrections or SET 0 are excluded; lateral G remains an IMU measurement. - Improved grade estimation at higher speeds and the indication of temporarily held grade values. - Refined text, spacing, and controls on the dashboard and portrait speedometer, including warning messages and SET 0. - Updated GNSS/IMU contribution displays, GUIDE, and CSV diagnostics.

AVECT 1.1.0 completely refreshes the core vehicle-state engine. Speed, position, rail segment, and grade now run consistently through one event-driven chain. - Velocity: trustworthy GNSS remains the absolute speed reference. IMU use is bounded to observable launch detection and short bridging between GNSS updates. Delayed GNSS is reconciled at measurement time, with explicit handling for outliers, outages, stop recovery, and uncertainty. Stale low-quality fixes can no longer establish a cold-start speed by themselves. - Position: accepted velocity is integrated downstream and corrected by GNSS position. Distance and position uncertainty are tracked, with no feedback from position or station context into speed. - Rail segments: when AVECT is opened mid-journey, one clear valid GNSS fix on an unambiguous single-line alignment can show a direction-free “Station A—Station B” segment without prior station history or a confirmed previous station. Direction can be established later from course or additional observations; parallel tracks, junctions, close alignments, and tied candidates remain withheld. - Altitude and vertical speed: GNSS provides a slowly corrected altitude datum while fine pressure-height changes remain responsive. Vertical speed in m/min and ft/min makes indoor and elevator movement observable. When aircraft cabin pressure causes a large disagreement, pressure altitude is rejected and GNSS altitude takes priority. - Grade: changes in barometric altitude are checked against GNSS altitude, then estimated robustly over distance. A grade-only shield excludes cabin-pressure changes correlated with acceleration and braking, and a clear GNSS/barometer trend disagreement withholds the value. Grade never feeds back into speed or position. - Logging and Guide: each recording now saves speed, position, sensor, and estimator-state data in one CSV file. GUIDE now documents segment Quick Look, the estimator chain, communications, and privacy. - Subscription: entitlement is checked before network-backed product metadata at launch, so active subscribers enter the app without passing through the purchase screen. Product-loading retry and safer measurement/CSV finalisation during access transitions are also included.

AVECT 1.0.3 improves speed response, the iPad layout, and the subscription screen. - Fine-tuned acceleration and GNSS speed criteria at departure so the speed display responds sooner. - Refined the iPad layout for more readable width and spacing. - Improved subscription-status checks and added direct links to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

Added a 7-day free trial and monthly subscription.

AVECT 1.0.1 improves source-bar clarity and the in-app Guide. - Fixed the GNSS / IMU bar so its black separator follows the color boundary while the displayed balance moves between 0 and 100%. - Reworked GUIDE around startup conditions, SET 0, reading the display, the algorithm, and station coverage on supported lines in Japan. - After SET 0 when GNSS is unavailable, AVECT can show a short capped provisional IMU speed only after it confirms a stationary baseline and a directionally coherent launch (up to 3 seconds / 1.5 m/s). GNSS speed is then accepted only after two independent fixes and smoothly corrects the provisional value. - Clarified in GUIDE and the App Store images that station-segment and nearest-station displays cover supported lines in Japan.
