Salty is now much lighter on storage. • Trip share still renders when a photo fails to load, instead of failing silently. • Render-stats overlay is off by default. • Waypoint pin layers stay in sync on add and edit.

This update fixes one bug ahead of tournaments this weekend. After a fresh install, the app didn't ask for location access, so your boat's position never showed on the map and distance tools didn't work. Location now works as soon as you install.

Watch your spots for the conditions you want, get a heads-up the moment fresh data lands, and look back on your whole season. New • Watch a spot. Pick a condition like water temperature, current, or a temperature break, and we'll notify you when a spot hits it. All your watches live in one list. • New data alerts. Get a push the moment fresh ocean data lands over your region, then tap it to jump straight to that layer on the map. • Season story. Your Logbook now tells the story of your season, your trips, your water, and your catches in one recap. • Overlay Sets. Save the layers you reach for as a named set, and load them back with one tap. Improvements • Faster playback. Replaying a recorded trip and dragging the timeline stays smooth, even on your longest days on the water. • Charts. A cleaner, consistent look across every readout, with clearer axis labels and a current-direction arrow. • AIS. Vessels stay readable when they crowd together, and your AIS toggle stays put across launches. • Share. The Share Map sheet is simpler and keeps the details that matter. Bug Fixes • Fixed a crash when tapping a notification from the lock screen. • Trips no longer get stuck backing up after their ocean conditions finish loading. • Map controls no longer get stranded after closing a panel or returning to the app. • A waypoint you just dropped can't be lost before it syncs to the cloud.

This release is all about reliability. We fixed the things that got in your way, sped up the app, and smoothed out onboarding, before adding anything new. Improvements • Your boat's position now stays current on the map. Drifting or at anchor offshore, it used to go stale and catch up a few minutes later. It now updates continuously. • Your trips open right away, even with a full season saved. We load a trip's track only when you tap into it. • The map uses about half the memory when you're working with ocean data, so it stays smooth on long days and is far less likely to get shut down in the background. • The welcome tour now picks up where you left off instead of starting over. • Renamed "Overlay Sets" to "Saved Overlays," alongside Saved Maps. Bug Fixes • Fixed the map sometimes opening blank after the app sat in the background. It now redraws the water right away. • Fixed a crash that could happen when saving a playback video. • Fixed a rare crash when switching regions or datasets with a filter set.
