What's new in 1.0.18: - The map recovers by itself when your connection comes back. No more stuck loading error. - Retry shows that it's loading and can't be tapped twice. - A new request or place always uses your current position, not an old one. - Your position is saved after switching accounts, even with weak GPS. - Fixes and stability.

What's new in 1.0.17: - Crew code: when you sign up, you can enter the code of the ship or crew that told you about AppSail (optional). - Sign in with Apple or Google: your first name is saved properly, not the "Sailor" placeholder. If yours still says "Sailor", Profile shows how to change it. - Taken username: you get a clear message right away. - Notification range at sign-up matches Profile: 1-25 NM. - Fixes and stability. Fair winds.

What's new in 1.0.16: - Vessel name: add your boat's name to a request (optional, every category except Looking for hitch). It shows on the map, in the Feed and in request details. - The map reloads more reliably when you come back to the app and retries by itself if the connection dropped. - When data can't load, you get a clear message and a Retry button. - Profile tells you when a setting change didn't save. - Security, privacy and stability fixes. Fair winds.

More services on the map: dinghy docks, waste disposal, pump-out stations and gas/LPG refill — the practical spots you look for in port. We also fixed a map issue where pins close together could disappear when zoomed out. Now every pin stays visible. Together we're building our own pilot book — the spots that aren't on any official chart. Fair winds.

New place category: dive spots. Mark and discover good places to dive, shared by the sailors who know them. The crane / slip pin is now clearer on the map, and a few small fixes under the hood. Together we're building our own pilot book - the spots that aren't on any official chart. Fair winds.

New service: Crane / slip. Add and find places to launch or haul out a boat, right where sailors know them. Help is now built in - open it from the map's layers panel or from your Profile to see the full user manual. We're building our own pilot book together: the water, fuel, power and clearance points that aren't on any official chart. Fair winds.

You can now add to the map yourself. Tap + and choose what to share: A request — post what you need A place — a bar, museum, viewpoint or beach worth knowing An event — organisers can submit theirs There's also a new Services layer: find water, fuel, power, border clearance, laundry and toilets/showers near you, shown as amber pins and in their own "Services nearby" feed section. Plus: take a photo straight from the camera when posting a request, and a tidier map with a layers button to toggle Events, Places and Services. Fair winds.

Discover great sailor spots. AppSail now shows handpicked places near you — bars and taverns, maritime museums, viewpoints, beaches, sailing shops and gear rentals — as teal pins on the map and in a new "Places nearby" section in the feed. Tap any spot for details, a link and directions. Plus a fix so event details always scroll and show in full. Fair winds.

Sailing events are here. AppSail now shows what's happening on the water near you — regattas, boat shows, festivals, season openings — as pins on the map and in a new "Events nearby" section in the feed. Tap any event for dates, location, a link to its page, and directions. You can also now navigate straight to someone's request — a new "Navigate there" button opens directions in your maps app. Fair winds.

The map now stays true to where you are. When you come back to AppSail after moving, it recentres on your real position and refreshes the boats and requests around you — no more seeing yourself where you used to be. That also means nearby sailors see you in the right place, so the right people reach you. Plus the usual under-the-hood fixes to keep things smooth on the water. Fair winds.

Your position now stays fresh. Until now it only updated while you had the map open — so if you reopened AppSail on another screen, others could see you in the wrong place. Now your location refreshes every time you return to the app, so nearby sailors always see where you actually are. New: a gentle weekly nudge. If we haven't seen you in a while, you'll get a friendly reminder to open the app and check who's nearby — because someone close might need a hand you can offer. Fixes: the invite screen no longer overlaps the navigation bar on Android, and the app handles weak signal more gracefully — retrying instead of giving up when your connection is poor. Fair winds, and thank you for helping this community grow.

Bring your crew aboard AppSail works best when the sailors around you are on it too — the busier your water, the more likely someone answers when you need a hand. This version makes it easy to invite them. After you close a request, or when your map is quiet with no one in range, you can now share AppSail in a tap — straight to WhatsApp, Messages, email, or anywhere else. Every sailor you bring in makes the app more useful for you next time something breaks. Plus smaller fixes and refinements under the hood. Sail safe.

Your requests on the map The map used to show only other sailors. Now your own active requests appear too, marked with a cream outline so you can tell them apart at a glance. They stay visible even when you filter their category out, and they hold their real position while you explore elsewhere with the telescope. Works better on weak signal Marinas, anchorages, offshore — the connection is rarely perfect. The app no longer gives up at the first failed request. Opening a listing on a poor connection keeps you on the screen with a Retry option instead of throwing you back, and Messages tells you it's a connection problem rather than claiming you have no conversations. Coming back after a long break Leave the app in the background for hours and the map, feed and messages load properly when you return. Faster, fresher data The app no longer fires the same query twice at once, so screens load quicker and show current data. New accounts Signing up now requires confirming your email address. Check your spam folder if the message doesn't arrive. Sail safe.

Under-the-hood improvements to account sign-up and sign-in, so registration stays reliable as the community grows. Plus minor stability fixes.

This update improves stability: - Fixed a crash that could occur when opening a request that had already been completed or removed (for example, from an old notification). You'll now see a clear message instead of the app closing. - Improved request editing on some Android phones — the Save and Cancel buttons are now fully visible and reachable. Thanks for sailing with us!
