Redesigned Opportunity Cards — Opportunities now feature an interactive map, a collapsible score breakdown, and the ShutterTime logo as a map marker colored by score.
Plans Calendar — A new rolling 7-day calendar view makes it easier to see and manage your upcoming plans at a glance. The date strip stays pinned as you scroll and auto-highlights the current day.
Smarter Scoring — Improved fog detection using multiple weather factors, better Milky Way scoring that accounts for darkness windows, and more accurate condition breakdowns when using multiple profiles.
