Paku for PurpleAir

After much contemplation, I’ve decided to revert the default icon change from Paku 5. The old version fits in better with iOS, and scales better in places like Shortcuts and Notifications. The Paku 5 icon is still available as an alternate under the "Artist Series" if you preferred it.

Small improvement that should speed up initial loading times.

- Small tweaks to Smart Select
- If a sensor is selected, it won't be removed when panning the map
- Other small fixes

Introducing Smart Select: Widgets displaying “nearby” data will now filter outliers when choosing which sensor to show. If multiple sensors are within range but the closest one seems inaccurate, the widget will automatically display a more accurate sensor.

This update simplifies a few settings, and contains some important under-the-hood upgrades.

Important typo fix in the AQI Basics screen.

Just a few small fixes in this update.

- Fixes an issue introduced in the last update where colors would not interpolate.
- Rounding now matches PurpleAir.com, so AQI values should more closely match.

- Improvements to the menu for setting up AQI notifications.
- Fixes the favorites layout on iPad.
- Optimizations to decrease the app size.

Lots of bug fixes in this one! Sorry about that, changed some configuration code without enough testing.

- Widgets can once again be configured with a private sensor.
- The watchOS app will no longer crash on launch.
- watchOS complications will properly load data.

Big fixes and improvements.

- New app icon to celebrate WWDC: “Blueprint”
- Minor bug fixes.

- Paku now supports Siri suggestions.
- We’ve added a new screen that explains the Air Quality Index for people who may not know the system.
- New app icon: Radar

This version has a few small bug fixes.

- We’ve updated the sensor details sheet with a more modern design, and rearranged things so the info that matters is front and center.
- New app icon “Pin Stripes”

- Fixes an issue where the “Nearby” widget would show an indoor sensor if it was the closest sensor. The widget will now only show outdoor sensors as intended, unless you explicitly specify an indoor sensor.
- Opening the app by tapping a widget will now open the sensor displayed in that widget.
- New alternate app icon: “Flat White”

- Favorite sensors now show a star on the map, and are displayed above other sensors.
- Fixes a layout issue that could happen in the sensor details.
- Improved onboarding flow for new users.

- Fixes an issue where sensor confidence always displayed 0% (thanks for reporting, John!)
- Fixes some weird visual glitches when toggling certain settings (thanks Cameron!)

This version includes a few more tweaks and fixes to the settings.

We’ve refreshed our settings so that they're better organized and work a bit better!

- Fixes an issue where swiping to dismiss the sensor card did not always work.
- If you have alerts set up, then delete and reinstall Paku, the app will prompt for notification permissions again.
- ”Refresh Sensors” has moved to the debug settings.

This version has some small bug fixes. Hope you’re having a wonderful Spring!

This version fixes a few small issues, and sensors should load even more quickly now. Here’s everything new in 4.0:

- Favorites: favorite sensors quickly check them in your favorites list without finding them on the map.
- Private Sensors: add private sensors to Paku and view them on the map, in widgets, and set up alerts for them (pro only).
- App Icons: customize your Home Screen with several beautiful new app icons (pro only).
- Performance: the app has been optimized to load sensor data more quickly.

With 4.0, Paku Push becomes Paku Pro, unlocking private sensors and app icons. If you're already subscribed to Paku Push, you'll unlock Pro features automatically with no price increase.

- This version introduces a more pleasant app icon
- Inaccurate sensors can be hidden from the map
- Air quality alerts can now be configured with custom averaging periods

Bug fixes and improvements.

- Adds a separate averaging period setting for widgets. This averaging period is also used on Apple Watch, since it shows widget-level information.

Paku 3.0 comes with a brand new watch app! Big thank you to Till for giving me an Apple Watch to develop on.

- View air quality right from your wrist - see the closest sensor, or add specific sensors to the app.
- Air quality, temperature, and humidity widgets are available as watch complications.

- Small design tweaks
- Fixed a hard-to-track-down bug causing widgets to crash

- Metadata about sensors on the network will refresh less often, and a setting has been added to manually refresh if needed. This change is intended to save bandwidth and improve battery life, and allow you to manually refresh the sensors if needed (e.g., when adding a new sensor to the network).

Other recent changes:

- Adds a setting to open the map to the last location (thank you Skye for the suggestion!)
- Allows you to specify a separate conversion for inside and outside sensors. Inside sensors will default to no conversion.
- Removes the restriction from viewing averaging periods with the EPA conversion. While the averages aren't fully accurate, this matches PurpleAir.
- Fixed an issue parsing HTML characters in sensor names (thank you Eric for reporting!)
- Improved the appearance of inside sensors in dark mode.

- Indoor sensors are no longer incorrectly shown as inaccurate.
- Some widgets now have better error states.
- The nearby widget will only use sensors with a high confidence and recent data.
- Fixes an issue where guidance text was truncated.
- You can now search for locations and sensors on the map using the handy little "Search" button at the bottom the screen!
- AQI values are no longer limited to a maximum of 500, matching PurpleAir.
- Lock Screen widgets are now available! Requires iOS 16 or later.
- Temperature is now correctly localized to Fahrenheit or Celsius.

- Sharing from iPad no longer crashes.
- Improved accuracy of AQI colors.

- Fixes an issue where some sensors wouldn't load, especially if the map was panned right after opening the app
- The app no longer requires your location to use

This update allows you to choose a specific sensor in the widget! You can also choose "nearby" to keep the current behavior. Unfortunately, this change means you'll need to delete and re-add any widgets on your home screen - sorry about that!

- Fixes an issue introduced in 1.1.3 that caused the widget to fail to load.
- Fixes an issue where incorrect sensors were added to the map if you quickly toggled the indoor/outdoor setting.

Unfortunately I had to reset the hidden sensor data to fix the widget issue - hopefully a one time thing, and sensors will remain hidden across updates now!
