New in Sky Clock 1.6 • Find your exact spot: search now reaches towns, neighbourhoods, parks and addresses, and typing a place no longer asks for your location. • A clearer start, with fewer screens, and you can go straight into the app without buying anything. • Your first alert is free, so you can try the thing Sky Clock does best. • Alerts in your hours: tell Sky Clock when you can get outside, and change it any time in Alerts. • More honest odds that match the forecast, so a cloudy night no longer says "Excellent odds". • Fixes for subscribers who could get stuck during setup.

New in Sky Clock 1.5 • A new welcome: tell us what you want to see and when you can get outside, and Sky Clock builds your plan of real sightings from where you are. • Sky pairings: when the Moon meets Venus, or two planets line up. The prettiest sight you can catch from a city. • China's space station and Starlink trains, the line of lights that makes people stop and stare. • A clear-sky verdict on every Plus alert ("Clear at 7:12. Go."), so you only head out when it's worth it. • Photo tips for each sighting, made for your iPhone. • Plus Forever: pay once, keep Plus for good. And Plus can now be shared with up to 6 people in your family. • Lots of smaller fixes and polish.

A calmer, clearer Sky Clock, built around one question: what's worth stepping outside for? • Tonight: a new home screen that leads with tonight's best sight, the week ahead and your Sky Passport progress • This week above you: every Space Station pass, planet and meteor shower worth seeing over the next seven nights, in one list • Four tabs instead of six: Tonight, Sky, Plan and Passport • Pick your first sighting and we'll tell you before it happens • Looks great at every text size, including the largest accessibility sizes • Lots of smaller fixes and polish

Sky Clock now picks the best thing for you to see, books it, and guides you right to it. • First Light: your first sighting, chosen for where you are, with a reminder before it starts • Find mode: a big arrow and a buzz that gets faster as you swing onto it, plus a daytime practice run so you know exactly where to look • Sky Passport: collect every planet, Moon phase, meteor shower and showpiece cluster, and see what you can catch this month • A live countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and a new Next Sighting widget • Invite someone: share a sighting with the time and direction, even if they do not have the app • Fixes: the free trial reminder now arrives as promised, and times stay correct right after your location updates

Bug fixes and performance improvements.

Sky Clock now sends anonymous usage data, including recordings of what happens on screen, so the parts of the app that confuse people can be found and fixed. Your place name, coordinates, notes and photos are hidden on your device before anything is sent, and your location is never attached. The privacy policy at skyclockapp.com/privacy says exactly what is collected.

More of Sky Clock is now free. Tonight's verdict and what's worth staying up for, the next two nights of the forecast, and your first three sightings in the log — no subscription needed. Also in this release: - Fixed a bug where the setup screen could hang on "Working out your sky" if your location took a while to arrive. - You can now enter a place by hand at any point during setup, instead of waiting on GPS. - Fixed "I saw it" in the sky view showing a padlock and then opening anyway. Clear skies.
