v1.0.20 — stability + rotation release. • Rotation support — NavyOS now rotates cleanly on iPad, iPhone, foldables, and tablets. Every screen reflows for landscape so you can use the app the way you hold your device. • Fixed a rare crash when changing the app language (English / Filipino / Spanish) in Settings. • Fixed a rare crash on "Manage / cancel subscription" for accounts that received Pro access outside the App Store. • Removed an unused Android permission (Activity Recognition) — Sailor health/fitness data was never collected, but we shouldn't ask for the permission either. • Internal: app no longer relies on a couple of deprecated Android edge-to-edge APIs that Google flagged for the Android 15+ rollout. • A handful of small UI polish fixes contributed by the TestFlight cohort — thanks for the reports. Nothing new to learn — your daily flow stays exactly the same. Just smoother and crash-free.
