Listing changes AppTracker has observed for this app in this storefront — new versions, price moves, rating shifts, and store copy.
Fixes across the board, most of them from a full outside review of the app. - The hunt-status card now shows the window you're in, not just the next one. If prime time started ten minutes ago, it says so instead of pointing at tonight. - Tides show up even when weather doesn't. A slow or missing WeatherKit response no longer hides the whole card. - The tide chart and the numbers finally agree. The curve no longer invents little bumps between two close tides, and the current height uses the same math everywhere. - A failed hunt save keeps your rating, tooth count and notes on screen so you can try again; nothing gets blanked out. - Resuming a hunt after leaving the beach no longer counts the drive home as distance. - Live Activity fixes: the timer keeps running on the Lock Screen, the tide countdown updates while you stand still, and a leftover card from a previous session gets cleaned up. - Tracking now tells you when Precise Location is off or GPS drops, instead of quietly recording nothing. - Metric users get km and m on every screen, the share card and alerts, not just the Lock Screen. - Alerts respect Sleep Hours as soon as you change them, fill all the slots you asked for, and show times in the station's time zone. - Renaming a spot while alerts are off no longer switches that spot's alerts off for good. - Tapping a second alert for the same spot opens it again. - Fixed the emergency fallback for the Galveston area, which was pulling tides from the wrong station. - Pending purchases (Ask to Buy) now say so, and a failed restore is reported as a failure rather than "no purchases found". - Lapsed subscribers can still open and remove their saved spots. - Small copy, contrast and VoiceOver fixes throughout, and Reduce Motion is respected. - New app icon, and a launch screen to match. Thanks for hunting with Mako.
