This update fixes the very first launch: • MythExplorer now asks for photo access properly the first time you open it • Say yes and scanning starts right away — no need to close and reopen the app • Say no and you get a clear explanation, plus a shortcut to Settings • Turn access on later and scanning continues the moment you come back • Once you've scanned once, later launches start on their own without asking again

This update makes location detection much more accurate: • Country pages now show only the footprints inside that country — no more mixing in travels from elsewhere • Added full region data for France and Norway, so trips there now count correctly • Added the Matsu Islands (Lienchiang), completing all 22 regions of Taiwan • Photos taken by the seaside or in harbors are now placed in the right region • Removed an invalid entry from the country list

• Full translations for Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Arabic • Photo pins now spread out more evenly on the map • Fixed photos sometimes showing the wrong thumbnail • Settings now shows your real app version • Various stability improvements
