With build 8, the TestFlight beta opened to anyone with the link, on iPhone and iPad running iOS or iPadOS 18.4 or later.
New
- Custom stations. The + on the Library’s station card adds a custom station: ID, name, state, latitude and longitude, where its data comes from (the IEM archive, or a URL for each model), and whether to auto-fetch it. Custom stations are favorited and listed before they have runs.
- Chart styles. Ten new styles under Settings › Chart Appearance › Chart Style, and the existing styles adapt to light and dark mode.
- Onboarding. Four pages: Welcome, Advanced Charts, Nearby Stations (which asks for your location) and Sondex Pro.
Changed
- Auto-fetch on a station with no runs yet tries GFS and NAM. Before, it fetched nothing.
- The map’s search reads “Find a station”, its filters are pills, and a station count replaces the Current Location button.
- The chart bar shows the model and run time. Its back button closes the file and returns to your runs.
Pro
The Pro subscription from build 7 is still in the app, but this build unlocks it for every tester: no import limit, and every chart style.
Fixed
- Several pills and cards kept light colors under dark mode.
Known issues
- On iPhone, Import from URL closes without importing the file.
- On iPad in a wide layout, Add Custom Station doesn’t open.
