Push Notifications
-Fixed broken notifications showing UTC time, 0° elevation, and 0s duration — now uses recomputed pass data with latest TLEs
-Notification messages now show relative time ("in ~15 min") instead of absolute times
-Timing info appears in both title and body so it's always visible
-Widened TLE drift tolerance (±30 min search window) so notifications aren't silently dropped
-all_passes notifications now only fire for visible passes above 10° elevation
-Single-pass alert dialog adjusts text when pass is less than 15 min away (no longer says "15 minutes before" when that's impossible)
Notification Tap Deep Linking
-Tapping a push notification now opens the live screen with that satellite selected
-Works for cold start, warm start, and while app is already open
-Fixed race condition where satellite selection was cleared on mount
3D Globe
-Improved satellite tap targeting near globe edges using screen-space nearest-point fallback
-Selected satellite position now updates in real-time (every 2s) instead of relying on stale batch positions — fixes dot appearing way off from orbit path
Visible Tab (Pro)
-Split into "Visible Now" and "Coming Up" sub-tabs with segmented control
-Each tab has count badges and independent empty states
-"Visible Now" shows real-time countdown, "Coming Up" shows time-until and pass details
Settings — Observer Location
-New "Search Location" option — search by city, address, or place name (Mapbox geocoding)
-Manual entry redesigned with DMS format (degrees/minutes/seconds with N/S/E/W toggles)
-Auto-advance between fields for quick entry
-Location display now shows DMS format
-Clearer layout separating current location status from the three input methods
Rating Prompt
-"Happy to help" now shows Apple's native in-app star rating dialog instead of bouncing to the App Store
