When setting up the app, you can now see at a glance which step you are currently on and how far along you are in the overall process. A progress bar and step count are displayed at the top of the screen.
Improvements
* Improved display of local authority announcements
The appearance of 'Announcements from your local authority' on the Home screen has been enhanced. It now overlaps with the camera feature card, resulting in a smarter design.
* Improved usability of the setup completion screen
On the final setup screen, if there is content that can be scrolled down, a clearer prompt to scroll has been added. Tapping this prompt will now automatically scroll to the end of the screen.
* Streamlined local authority selection process
When selecting a local authority, data saving and notification settings processes are now smoother. In particular, processing multiple items concurrently reduces waiting time after selection.
* Improved visibility on the local authority selection screen
When selecting a local authority, the local authority currently being processed is now clearly displayed. This allows users to visually understand which local authority's information is currently being loaded.
* Improved display format for notification information
The date and time information displayed on the local authority announcement details screen now includes 'hours, minutes, and seconds' in addition to the traditional 'year, month, and day'. This allows for more precise notification times to be checked.
