SkyLaunch

You can trim this to fit the character limit.

1. Clearer launch list: Status chips stay readable, and launch rows lay out more reliably next to dates and countdown info.
2. Better SpaceX details: Launch sites show real pad names and locations instead of raw API IDs.
3. Smarter alerts: Launch reminders stay in sync after data updates and background refresh, with alerts for important launch changes when you’ve enabled notifications.
4. Space headlines: Optional heads-up when there’s a new top space story (when notifications are on).
5. Small polish: If you enjoy the app, you may see a one-time prompt to rate SkyLaunch on the App Store.
6. Stability and maintenance under the hood for iOS 18+.

Smoother launch updates — more reliable loading and fewer glitches when refreshing missions and details.
Clearer “what’s happening now” — improved loading flow so you can see progress while data comes in.
Dashboard polish — refined countdown and Next Launch layout with clearer date, pad, time, probability, and status at a glance.
Sharper Launches list — upcoming launches now match the cleaner, more consistent style used in launch history.
Better countdown after liftoff — messaging that reflects launched, scrubbed, canceled, or no-go when a window passes.
Refreshed look — updated accent colors and controls (including units) for a more consistent experience across the app.
General fixes — stability and small UI improvements throughout.

Version updated to 1.7 + 
About page fixed
App version: updated to 1.7.0
Build number: updated to 16
-About page: now reads version dynamically from the bundle (CFBundleShortVersionString (CFBundleVersion)), so it won’t drift again.
-App Store “What’s New” (suggested list for 1.7.0)
-Real weather forecasts added for launch sites (temperature, wind, visibility, conditions), improving probability accuracy.
-Launch Probability bar fix: the indicator now correctly matches the displayed percentage.
-Confidence + “Why?” explanations: see a confidence level (Low/Medium/High) and expand “Why?” to understand what signals drive the number.
-Self-calibrating probability (“learning”): provider reliability adapts over time based on past outcomes.
-Offline mode: launches are cached to SwiftData so you can browse recent + upcoming launches without a connection.
-Adaptive launch update alerts (optional): get notified when a launch’s status/time changes or probability drops significantly.
-Background refresh: periodically refreshes launches/probabilities in the background (iOS scheduling dependent).
-Performance/UX polish: skeleton loading, pull-to-refresh haptics, smoother numeric transitions.

SkyLaunch now checks the status of its launch data providers (including SpaceX and Launch Library 2) to ensure everything is online and delivering valid information.

A new Source Health screen shows each provider’s status, response time, and the last time it was checked.

Clear color indicators (green, orange, red) make it easy to see if a source is healthy, slow, or offline.

Added a “Check Source Health” button in Settings so you can run a quick diagnostic anytime.

Behind the scenes, SkyLaunch also verifies source integrity before fetching upcoming launches, improving accuracy and reliability.

These improvements help ensure you always receive the most up-to-date and reliable launch information.
