Features
Astronaut Suit Action Figures
- Limited-edition astronaut figures are now available — each one sealed in a collectible box!
- Unbox it to use the figure as your new profile avatar… or keep it sealed to flex your rarest finds!
- Warning: Once unboxed, your figure can't be traded — think before you rip that seal!
- You can snag only one of each figure — no second chances. Choose wisely, collector!
- Start off with the T-Minus astronaut suit, unbox it and set it as your avatar!
- Trading between users coming in a later version!
User Accounts
- User accounts are not mandatory, it's just a way of keeping count of how many users the app has and send out newsletters if I ever decide it's worth the trouble. Feel free to dismiss this feature if you are not interested. Thank you!
- Your saved articles, playlists, space suits and patches are all saved to your iCloud account regardless of account creation.
Timezone Picker
- You can now choose from different timezones when viewing a launch.
- Just tap the down arrow next to the time in the "Liftoff" section.
Upcoming Launches
- You can now browse upcoming launches in Search.
- Filters also apply to these launches to further narrow down your search results.
Weather Concerns
- Launches will now display weather concerns (if any) in the "Liftoff" section.
Fixes
Stability
- Fixed various bugs around the app that may have caused crashes or performance issues.
Improvements
Unfollow Behavior Setting
- The default behavior when unfollowing a space agency or location is that you will no longer see that content on Home or receive notifications about it.
- This update introduces the ability to further tailor that experience by choosing to apply those filters only on "Home", meaning you will not see the content on Home but will still receive notifications about it, OR only on "Notifications", meaning you will not receive notifications about that content but will still see it on Home.
- Still playing around with this idea, so feel free to reach out with feedback!
Home
- Added the launch status to each launch on the Home screen.
- No need to access the page in order to see this information anymore!
