The seasons of the landscape now follow your hemisphere: if you live in Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Australia or another country in the south, January is summer again. Wakecraft works it out from your phone's time zone, without asking for your location, and you can change it by hand in Settings, in the Hemisphere row. We have also improved the contrast of the outlines in the challenges, of the steps and shake progress, of the weekday selector and of switched-off alarms, so they are easier to see at any time of the year.

A small update with behind-the-scenes changes to improve the first experience with the app. Your alarms work exactly as before.

New for iPhone Duo: the sky of the alarm list now follows the hinge. Close the phone and it goes back to the early morning; open it and the day dawns and runs up to the current hour. The landscape of the list, the sky of the ringing alarm and the intro also continue behind the vertical bar at the side instead of being cut off. On other devices the app works as before.

Fixed: in some cases the alert of a ringing alarm showed text codes instead of the alarm name and the button to do the challenge. It now shows "Alarm" (or the name you gave it) and "Do challenge" again. If an alarm you already scheduled still shows the codes, save it again to fix it.

New: two new rows in Settings, Rate Wakecraft and Help and contact, to leave your opinion on the App Store or write to us if something does not work for you. New: if you have a streak of days waking up on the first try, Wakecraft may ask you for a rating with the App Store prompt. It only does so when you open the alarm list and look at it calmly, never while an alarm rings or with VoiceOver or Switch Control on, and only a few times a year.

New: routines for bedtime and for exercise. Pick the time and the days, get a reminder before it and confirm with one tap, from the reminder itself, the Today widget or Siri and Shortcuts. Wakecraft does not track your sleep or your activity: you say when you did it, or you confirm with a QR code or with your steps. You see how many of the last few days you kept it, with no scolding. The first bedtime routine is free; more routines, exercise and confirming with a QR code or steps are Premium. New: five new challenges to turn off your alarm. Free: Tap in order (tap the numbers from lowest to highest) and What it says (tap the arrow the word names, not the one you see). Premium: Pattern (trace a route over a grid of dots), Lights (repeat a sequence of lights) and Order the word (put the letters in order). With VoiceOver or Switch Control, Pattern and Lights ask math instead. New: Try it. In the alarm editor, open the challenge you chose without an alarm ringing: it turns off nothing and does not count for your streak. New: the Today widget shows your next alarm and your routines, with a button to mark as done the one that is due without opening the app. Siri and Shortcuts can also mark a routine as done, for example with an automation when you arrive at the gym. Better: the challenge picker groups the challenges under Mind, Body and Away from bed, and each one says in a line what it asks of you. The weekday circles of the alarm editor are bigger and easier to tap.
