** Enhanced Scanner Visuals Upgraded the scanner radar with a denser, more cinematic interface. Added layered radar grids, rotating scan lines, target rings, crosshairs, pulse effects, and green glow treatments. Introduced ambient anomaly/glitch effects during active investigation sessions. Improved the overall paranormal field-scanner atmosphere without obstructing core controls. **Spectral Lock: Interactive Evidence Capture Added Spectral Lock, a timed interactive signal-capture event available during active sessions. Spectral targets appear at random positions on screen and can be tapped before they fade away. A successful capture triggers a locking animation, visual LOCKED feedback, and native haptic feedback on supported devices. Targets are positioned to avoid the End Session button and bottom navigation. Spectral Lock pauses while a full-screen Rare Entity event is active, preventing interaction conflicts. **Investigation Log Improvements Successful Spectral Lock captures are now saved as persistent session evidence. Each captured trace includes a themed signal description and an EMF reading. Added a Captured Traces section to session cards in the Investigation Log. Active and completed sessions can now display captured paranormal traces alongside readings, anomalies, messages, and peak EMF data. **Rare Entity & Session Experience Maintained the existing Rare Entity event flow, including its full-screen alert, countdown, session evidence logging, and sharing flow. Improved the active-session experience with more visual activity and collectible evidence moments. **App Store Review Prompt Removed the custom in-app star-rating interface. Added Apple’s native iOS App Store review prompt using expo-store-review. The system review prompt is requested shortly after launch on supported iOS devices. Apple controls whether and when the native review card is actually shown, according to its own frequency rules. **Layout & Stability Improvements Adjusted the main Scanner layout so the Start Session and End Session controls remain visible and tappable on compact mobile screens. Added test identifiers to the new interactive controls for reliable automated testing. Cleaned up a Reanimated render warning in the Spectral Lock component. Verified the complete Spectral Lock flow: start session → capture target → view evidence in Sessions. Confirmed TypeScript type checking passes successfully.

Version 1.2.0 — Rare Entity Detection + Sound System Rare Entity Detected feature: Added a real-time event system that triggers randomly during active investigation sessions Checks every 30–90 seconds with a 2–5% base probability; probability increases when EMF activity is high When triggered, a full-screen alert overlay appears with screen shake animation, flickering red title text, horizontal glitch lines, and a pulsing red border An 8-second countdown bar depletes automatically while the event is active After the countdown, a Resolution screen confirms the anomaly with exact timestamp and EMF level at the moment of detection A "Share Investigation Result" button opens the native iOS share sheet — ready for TikTok, Reels, or any app All rare entity events are logged to the active session with timestamp, EMF level, and detected sub-type Sound system: Integrated a full sound engine generating synthesized audio without requiring any audio files EMF screen: plays a sharp double-beep when an anomaly (EMF > 70) is detected; occasional single ping for elevated readings EVP screen: plays periodic static bursts every 3–5 seconds while the scanner is active ITC Text screen: plays a soft double-blip each time a new paranormal message is received Rare Entity overlay: plays a 4-second low-frequency hum with overtones and a static burst when the event triggers All sounds respect the Sound toggle in Settings — turning it off silences everything Sounds play even when the iPhone is set to silent mode (iOS silent mode bypass enabled) Other fixes: Version number updated to v1.2.0 in both the Settings screen and the Privacy Policy screen.

Fixed an issue where the Start Session button and other interactive elements were hidden behind the tab bar on certain iPhone models. All screens now display content correctly above the navigation bar, including the main scanner, EMF meter, ITC communication, EVP scanner, and session log.
