Author Notes

• First off, I just want to thank each and every one of you for sticking around the past few years as I've been trying to build the best possible launch tracking app. It's been an amazing journey and I can't wait to see what the future holds! Thank you for your feedback and suggestions! Here's to the next few years!
• Please be patient for the first run of the app after the 4.0 update until all content is synced and displayed. This is just for the first time of opening the app after the 4.0 update, after that, no need to worry, everything should run smoothly.
• Please use WIDGETS if you wish to receive launch updates and accurate launch notifications.

Apple Watch App

• Long overdue, I've decided to introduce this launch tracking experience on the Apple Watch! Now your connection with the space industry is more intimate than ever before.
• The app starts off with a list of Upcoming launches which is all you need to know at a glance before heading over to the iPhone app.
• Tapping a launch will open a detail page about that launch which displays more information, but the gem of this new experience is hidden at the bottom.
• At the bottom of each launch page, there should be a "Pad" button, which when tapped will take you to a new page, a Compass page.
• This compass will allow you to orient correctly towards the launch pad, no matter if you are 5 KM off or even 10,000 KM, I believe this experience will enable us all to feel a bit more connected with each launch.
• Swiping left will reveal more information about said launch pad.
• This is just the first iteration so feel free to reach out on X or via email with suggestions on what you would like to see from an Apple Watch app!

Floating Tab Bar

• At the bottom of the screen, you will notice a new floating tab bar, I loved the design and idea and I hope you will too! It grows on you, I promise!

Launches

• Now over 300 upcoming launches!
• You can now share links to launches, send them to your friends and they will be able to download the app or if they already have the app installed, the launch will automatically open inside the T-Minus app.
• Add to favorites & Add to watchlist have now moved to the top of the screen, next to the 3 dot menu from which you can now Subscribe to Agencies (for Premium users) or subscribe to this current launch in order to receive updates.
• Note: In order for these updates to work, please add a widget to your Home or Lock Screen.
• The status of the launch has been moved to the top below the name, followed by the launch probability, all time launch count as well as the launch count of the year.
• A "Launch Window" can be seen below the countdown, the faded dot represents T-0. As the launch goes by, a new more prominent dot will slide from left to right.
• Live streams are all placed in a carousel now, simply swipe left and right and tap to play a video.
• Introducing "Timeline" which now enables you to follow every step of the launch process from Prop Load to Payload Deployment.
• If there are more vehicles, swipe between them under "Vehicles".

Agency Preferences

• You can now control what is displayed throughout the app. By unfollowing agencies, the associated launches will be removed from Home and Mission Control so you won't have to see them. You can always see unfollowed agencies and launches from Search, that will not be impacted. Agencies can also be managed from Settings.

Mission Control & Calendar

• Both Mission Control and Calendar have undergone a redesign.
• Quick access to Search, Starbase, ISS and Tiangong from the top of the screen.
• See the next Upcoming Launch, most Recent Launch, Upcoming Events, Currently in Space, On this Day, Image of the Day, Movie, TV Series & Documentaries.
• Some content is limited to Premium users, if you're not a premium user, please consider upgrading as it allows me to continue the development of the app. Thank you!

Mission Patch Cards

• On top of updating the collections with lots of new patches, I've decided to step it up a notch and create a really nice trading card experience.
• Redeeming a patch has now become opening a pack.
• Slide to tear open a pack of one trading card which will reveal itself using a really nice animation effect.
• On the main page, just below the timer and redeem slider, you can see the history of the packs that you've opened.
• As I've been accelerating the development to make sure I can launch the new version before IFT-4, I was forced to skip the redesign on a few features (i.e trading up duplicate patches), but I promise to bring them back as soon as possible.

App wide redesign and Filters

• All pages have been redesigned including but not limited to Astronauts, Rocket, Spacecrafts, Vehicle, Locations, Launch Pads, Programs, Space Stations.
• Filters now play a big role when it comes to finding exactly what you're looking for.

App Icons

• Shout-out to @lukesbeard for the amazing new collection labeled "LLS - Luke Launch System".

Please note that a widget must be placed on screen or lock screen in order for these updates to work. Thank you!
