Photos on your cards. Add your own photo to a Flown or Seen card, and choose how it sits on the card. At a museum or airshow, log the tail and take the photo on one screen; if you allow it, a full-size copy goes to your Photos library. When you add a photo, SkyNexus blurs faces and hides any boarding pass it finds, unless you choose to keep them. A backup copy of each photo is encrypted with a key only your devices hold, and comes back on a new phone signed in to the same account and iCloud Keychain. Add up to 50 photos free, or 5,000 with Plus. Museums and airshows. Log a visit as a museum or an airshow, log military serials, and pick the aircraft type. Shared cards from those visits show the venue’s name and, where the visit has a location, a map. A spotting sighting with a photo never shows your spotting spot on a shared card. For spotters • Your rarest aircraft now weighs how rare the type is, so a Short Belfast outranks a rare airliner. Tap your rarest tail to open its card. • Some licence-built aircraft you’ve seen now name their builder on the card back, for example “Built by Westland”. • Seen Fleet shows the operator for more aircraft that had no airline recorded. • Seen Live keeps your screen on while it’s open. Photos you share leave out their location and camera details. Shared images carry your @handle, if you have one.

For spotters - Seen Live: "Tick not already logged" ticks the aircraft in your arc that you haven't already logged on that flight today. Where it can tell, each sighting now keeps whether it was arriving, on the ground, departing or flying over, and this is now included in your backup. - Seen Live tells you when you've already logged that aircraft on that flight today. Once we match a sighting to its flight, seeing the same aircraft on that flight again counts once on its card. - "Rarest today" and "Rarest ever" now skip any aircraft whose broadcast doesn't match the aircraft it claims to be. - On the Seen Live map, aircraft now move smoothly between updates. - If you leave the app straight after saving a Seen Live session, its routes now arrive when you come back. - When you share a Seen card with its back, your sightings from the last day are left off unless you turn on "Include today's sightings". - Sightings with no airline now show the operator our records have for that aircraft. Seen Live sends a position rounded to about 1 km to find aircraft near you. Your exact spot is encrypted with a key only your devices hold.

Seen Live is here. See aircraft near you right now, on a map or in 3D. Coverage varies by area. Choose the direction and distance you're watching, tick off what you saw, and save the session to your Diary. Where we can match a sighting to a scheduled flight, its card shows the airline and route. For spotters - Seen cards now have a back, with your history with that aircraft. - Your rarest aircraft, today and ever, on your Seen World page. - Manual entry for the ones you couldn't catch live. - CSV import of your old logs needs only date, time, place and registration. Give the place as an airport code and we position it; we add the aircraft type and route where we can match them. - A shared Seen card now shows the same sightings and routes as the card in the app. - Delete a sighting and it's gone from your other devices too. For everyone - Share your World: your globe of everywhere you've flown, or everywhere you've spotted, as one image. - Editing a flight now saves your changes. Before, adding details such as the aircraft type, registration or class could remove the flight instead of updating it. If you lost a flight this way, please add it again, and thank you to the user who reported it. - Settings › Contact us, Share this app, and Start fresh, which erases all your Flown or all your Seen data and keeps your account. Seen Live sends a position rounded to about 1 km to find aircraft near you. Your exact spot is encrypted with a key only your devices hold.

Find the share button. SkyNexus now shows you where sharing lives: the arrow in a circle, just above the top-right corner of your card. You can see it again any time in Settings, under Sharing Help. Know it's shared. When you share a flight card or a postcard, a tick now confirms it before the preview closes. Seen or Flown, explained. The first time you turn on Spotter, a short guide shows how the switch at the top decides whether Add logs a flight you took or an aircraft you watched. While Spotter is on, it's in Settings under Spotter Help. Fixed: airline names on Fleet, on Seen cards and when you log a sighting now match the rest of the app — Lufthansa, not Lufthansa Cargo. Fixed: signing in on a new phone could leave your flights, or your Spotter sightings, missing until the app was restarted. SkyNexus now retries a few times by itself.

Your shared card now matches your logbook. When a flight you've taken lands the next day, the card you share now shows "+1" beside the arrival time, just as your logbook does. Journey times are written the same way on both. A way back to SkyNexus. Cards for flights you've taken now end with a link to the app, so whoever you send one to can start their own. Fixed: on iOS 26, the switch at the top of Memories, Logbook and Fleet is no longer cut short.

Last time we said your tenth and hundredth flight bring a notification if you've turned them on. SkyNexus now asks — at a moment that means something. Once you've logged five flights, you'll get a short in-app note explaining what you'd hear about and a plain choice: enable, not now, or don't ask again. "Not now" means exactly that; we won't raise it again until a later version. If you spot aircraft rather than fly them, the same ask arrives the first time you log a sighting. Share your first flight. The celebration for your first logged flight now carries a "Share this card" button, so the card can go straight to whoever you want to show it to. Fixed: the notifications sheet now scrolls at larger text sizes — every button is reachable whatever your text setting.

Your tenth and hundredth flight each bring a notification, if you've turned notifications on — no digest, no marketing, and nothing that costs anything. The card back now shows the exact aircraft you flew when we can confirm it, on every plan. The aircraft's deeper story — where it flew before, where it is now — stays part of Plus.

SkyNexus can now tell you when something happens in your logbook. Send in a batch of flights and you'll hear when they've landed — no spinner to sit and watch. Pass a milestone and you'll know about it: your fiftieth flight, a country you've not flown to before, a route you've now flown ten times. And when we work out what you flew on, you'll hear that too — the route and the aircraft type, filled in behind you while you got on with something else. Notifications stay off until you ask for them. SkyNexus shows you what it would send before iOS ever asks for permission, so turning it down now costs you nothing later.

Boarding passes that used to be turned away now come in. Some American Airlines and Aer Lingus passes were being refused outright, with no way through. They import now — flight, route, seat, terminal, gate and boarding group intact. Old passes no longer dead-end. Send a pass from a flight you took years ago and SkyNexus works out which flight it was, even when the pass itself carries no date at all. The seat printed on your pass now fills itself in, instead of asking you to type back something it had already read. New — mark a flight as not taken. Cancelled, missed, or a booking that never happened: it stays in your timeline with a NOT TAKEN stamp, sits in the right place in your history, and doesn't count towards your totals. The mark survives a reinstall and follows you to a new phone.

Apple Wallet passes now work the way they should. Send a boarding pass to SkyNexus and it lands. When you come back to the app it is waiting behind the + tab, marked with a badge, whichever screen you are on. Review it when you are ready, or discard it. It no longer interrupts you, and skipping one no longer hides the rest. The screen you see after sending a pass now tells you the truth. It shows the route, the flight date, and where the pass has gone. If a pass cannot be read it says so, and points you at Add a flight rather than leaving you nowhere. Also in this release: Departure and arrival times show the airport's local time, not your phone's. Flight cards show how long you were in the air. Restore Purchases now sits in Settings, reachable without opening the upgrade screen. The upgrade screen no longer opens and closes itself. The next release stays on the same problem: getting flights in, and keeping them there.
