Hello friends! In this update, we've made it so that you can select a "my location" option so that SkyCandy will automatically update the your location in the app as you move throughout the world, without having to change the location manually. We've also made it so that premium users can see the forecast for up to 5 days on the main screen without having to do any more manual predictions. We've fixed a few bugs too that were affecting a small percentage of users - it should no longer give you the wrong date for your forecast results and should not have problems finding your location as long as GPS is enabled on your iPhone. Lastly, we made the text size a bit bigger in some portions of the app so it is easier to read.

We also fixed a bug where some people were always getting 0% results when it shouldn't have been 0%. We tweaked the UI to have better colors and match the UI closer to the other major phone platform this app is available on, as well as re-arranged the menu items to make more sense. The prediction wording now makes more sense, and the app should retrieve predictions quicker and more accurately from our server. We also replaced the old splash screen with a new loading screen that should be less resource intensive on your phone, added the version number to the splash screen and about screen, and made the upgrade screen more informative for potential subscribers.
