- Refreshed App Store screenshots showcasing Inverza’s photography tools. - Find sun and moon alignments in the 3D Diorama with manual controls or Find with AI. Preview matching moments and save or reload your shooting plans. - Refined twilight, fog and night-sky forecasts, with improved alert scheduling. - Smoother AI chat navigation and clearer photography guidance.

- Twilight light-path analysis checks cloud layers up to 450 km towards the sun for dawn and afterglow opportunities. - Did it happen? Record what you saw and review your own judged predictions in Condition History. - Share a condition card by long-pressing a badge. - Raw Weather Data adds the twilight ray path, aerosols, model agreement, dew-point spread and winds aloft. - Refined nearby terrain in the Diorama, with smoother transitions around your viewpoint. - Improved handling of cached forecasts, clock changes, airport observations and coastal conditions. Aurora analysis covers both hemispheres. - Better grouping of overnight conditions and fewer repeat alerts for the same event. - AI chat uses Gemini 3.8 Flash and now asks permission before sharing data with an AI provider. You can withdraw permission in Settings. Plus AR translations, accessibility improvements and fixes throughout the app.

- improved location search and filter

- Default AI Chat model is now Gemini 3.7 Flash - AR View now shows live degree readouts for sun, moon, and Milky Way above the horizon. - Showing first-load note in Shadow Map and 3D Diorama while data is cached to improve UX. - Manage your saved spots right in map search. - Building shadows are now on by default. - Many UI polish touches throughout.

- Plan solar eclipses in the 3D Diorama: scrub to the moment, watch sun and moon overlap, and read the exact coverage percentage. NASA-grade precision for every total and annular eclipse through 2030. - The moon now shows its true apparent size next to the sun, from supermoon to annular ring. - AR View aligns sun and moon more precisely with the real sky. - Sharper dioramas: real coastlines from OpenStreetMap, plus trees and forests that cast shadows.

- Further AR Sky View improvements (e.g. realistic moon illumination)

- Smarter alerts: every condition detector now checks more of the real sky before promising a photo, from haze on the horizon and live airport reports to clouds in the moon's own direction and real-time aurora data. - AR Sky View polish: sun and moon symbols are now sized to match each lens, and once true darkness falls the display drops its warm tint for a cleaner night view.

- New on the shadow map: building shadows. Zoom into a city, tap the building button, and see which streets and squares get sun at any time of day, built from OpenStreetMap outlines. - New Horizon Paths 3D. Tap "Diorama" on a saved spot to explore it as a 3D model: real terrain, OpenStreetMap buildings, and the sun and moon paths drawn in the sky. Shadows and light follow the time slider, from golden hour into moonlight. - Raw data charts: tap the new layers button on any cloud timeline to see low, mid, and high clouds as three lines at once. - Charts for pressure, freezing level, and temperatures now scale to their data, so changes show as real movement instead of a flat line. - The AI now spots rainbow chances: when a storm clears at the right sun angle, it tells you the time and the compass direction to watch. Plus the usual round of fixes and polish.

- Everything weather is faster: forecasts now load in a snap, even on first open. - New: tap any value in Raw Weather Data to explore it as an interactive 7-day chart, with pinch zoom, weather condition markers, and day/night shading. - Smarter predictions: confidence now reflects how far out an event is, plus local terrain, moonlight, storm behaviour, and more. - Smarter background checks that go easier on your battery, while alerts stay just as reliable. Plus the usual round of fixes and polish.

Minor bugfixes & expanded expert photography knowledge

- AR Sky View: point your camera at the sky to see sun, moon, and Milky Way paths overlaid on the live view, tracked with ARKit. Switch between your lenses by focal length and scrub through time. - Rock-solid AR tracking: the compass re-anchors itself after you move, and the view recovers on its own from sensor hiccups. - More reliable alerts: a bug that could stop automatic background checks is fixed, and notifications are now time-sensitive, so a dawn alert reaches you even during Sleep Focus. Plus fixes and refinements, including faster weather checks on weak connections.

New AR Sky view: point your phone and see the sun, moon, Milky Way, and North Star in the real sky, at any time you want to plan for, with a dark-adapted Night Mode. New Raw Weather Data Alerts (for wind, rain, snow, temperature). Horizon paths for sun and moon, photo subjects, dark-sky awareness, and a sharper AI. Photo Subjects: pair each photo spot with the actual subject you're shooting (a mountain face, lighthouse, lake, or castle), up to 50 km away. Inverza identifies what it is from OpenStreetMap (peak, glacier, waterfall, lighthouse, alpine hut, and 17 more) and reasons about lighting the subject, not just the sun. For distant subjects (>20 km) it pulls a second weather forecast at the subject's coordinates so you catch spotlight conditions when the photographer is in cloud but the peak is in the clear. Context-aware AI with even better Pro-Photographer knowledge: 22 per-subject photographic playbooks now live in the AI prompt. Waterfalls suggest soft light and ND filters; glaciers get alpenglow timing; lighthouses get blue-hour beam advice; peaks get telephoto compression. The AI also no longer tells you to "turn away from the subject" when the sun is behind you. That's now correctly framed as front-lit golden hour. Horizon Paths: a new 360° terrain horizon strip on the spot detail card with sun and moon arcs for every day. Navigate by hour or day, and toggle the Photographer/Subject view to see how light falls at either vantage. Dark-sky integration: Bortle class lookups (NOAA VIIRS, bundled global ~1 km raster) now gate and rank Milky Way and Aurora detections. Inner-city skies hard-gate; suburban skies caveat. Aurora detection respects strong-storm modulation through skyglow. Plus tutorial polish, sun-azimuth and moon-arc bug fixes, and a refreshed spot detail card.

Notifications improved. Fixed a long-standing scheduling bug where automatic alerts could silently stop after force-quitting or rebooting your iPhone. Memories. Bookmark great AI responses in chat and revisit, annotate, or export them as text or Markdown. Storm Clouds detected even better. Just in time for thunderstorm season, the Dramatic Storm Clouds detector now reads CAPE, Lifted Index and WMO weather codes - so windy-but-stable days don't trigger false alarms. When a real cell is forecast, the badge spells out both prime photo windows: shelf cloud 30-90 min before the core arrives, then mammatus and back-anvil glow 30-90 min after. It also names where the storm comes from (using 700 hPa steering flow) and flags golden-hour overlap. The AI chat now has full storm-chaser knowledge built in - ask "is this worth chasing?" or "where should I face?" and get a real answer. Other recent improvements: • Shadow Map slider now steps in 5-minute increments, with new ‹/› nudge buttons next to the quick-jumps • Smarter Lenticular Cloud detection using upper-level winds and ridge geometry • Water-aware Ground Fog (advection fog at cold coasts, steam fog over warm lakes) • Multi-location alerts so you can monitor several spots at once • Terrain-draped sunrise/sunset/moonrise direction lines on the map • AI chat now sees each detector's specific recommendation (lens, ISO, orientation) Plus the usual polish, bug fixes, and faster network handling. Happy chasing.

- New Localization settings: choose your timezone or the spot's local for condition times, with optional dual-clock annotation. - New Lenticular Clouds condition. Combines 700 / 500 hPa winds with terrain ridge analysis to surface the moments mountain ranges sculpt those iconic stacked lens-shaped clouds above the ridgelines. - Water-aware ground fog. Inverza now reads sea-surface temperatures and inland water-temperature estimates to spot two more fog patterns photographers love: coastal advection fog (warm moist air over cooler seas - SF Bay, the UK coast, the Pacific Northwest) and inland steam fog (cold dawn air over warmer lakes and rivers - that classic "smoke on the lake" look). Three distinct fog pathways now run side-by-side: radiation, advection, and steam. - Brocken Spectre: smarter terrain filtering. The detector now checks whether you're actually on open ground using OpenStreetMap landcover and a latitude-aware tree-line. Forested mid-altitude summits are filtered out, so your alerts only fire where the spectre can really form - exposed ridges, summits, alpine outcrops. - Smaller install, smarter storage. Terrain tiles for every region, including the Alps, now download on demand instead of shipping with the app. The download is a one-time fetch per area, cached forever, and you can free up space per region from Settings → Terrain Tiles whenever you want. - Multi-location alerts. One alert can now track several locations at once. Pick aurora, lenticular clouds, or any other rare condition, choose the spots you'd be willing to travel to, and Inverza notifies you whichever one lights up first. - Live badges in their proper time slot. When METAR ground observations confirm a forecast, the "Live" badge now sits in the right position on the conditions carousel instead of jumping to the end. - Haptics across the board. Light Taptic Engine pulses confirm shadow timeline scrubs (one tap per hour), condition badge scrolling, and successful pull-to-refresh on the chat tab. A reminder of what powers the experience - GPU (Metal) acceleration. Shadow computations run on Apple's Metal compute kernels, projecting solar geometry across SRTM elevation tiles in milliseconds rather than seconds - even on full mountain ranges with thousands of sample points. - Vector Shadow Maps. Shadows render as crisp polygon overlays rather than bitmaps, so they stay sharp at any zoom level and any camera pitch - no pixelation when you tap to inspect a fjord or ridge. - 3D Shadow Map. Pitch the camera to see how shadow lines drape across real terrain elevation in real time, helping you predict exactly when a given peak, valley, or coastline will fall into golden light.
